Please what do you mean by air from ceiling fan is natural? Does standing fan synthesis its own air? The difference is one blows vertically while the other blows horizontally.

I prefer a standing fan because you can direct the blown air to yourself when you need it or direct it elsewhere when you don’t need it. No direction for ceiling fan
Furthermore, ceiling fans help to pull hot air from the lower levels and allow cool air stay lower, simply because hot air goes up and cold air comes down. so ceiling fans help to ensure even convection of the hot air and cold air cycle. standing fans on the other hand just move air around, by blowing air the fan creates an area of low pressure behind the fan cooling the air a bit before blowing it out the other side. this effect is not very evident in a room with limited ventilation or in a room thats already hot. thats why sometimes it seems that standing fans blow hot air because there is no convection of hot and cold air just movement of breeze. so usually for a standing fan to shine especially in a room with poof ventilation, place the fan beside or close to the window to pull in fresh and cooler air from outside.

I was jejely resting in the living room one day while the ceiling fan was spinning above me.

Suddenly, I felt a strong urge to move away from where I was lying. I didn’t even know why. I just listened to that inner voice and shifted to another spot.

Within seconds, the ceiling fan detached from the ceiling and crashed down exactly at where I was lying before.

Omo,the kain fear that gripped me in that day? I can’t even explain it. Since that day, I’ve developed a serious phobia for ceiling fans.

I prefer one ceiling fan to 10 standing fan
Re: Standing Fan Or Ceiling Fan. Which One Do You Prefer? (Photo) by Originalsly:
A bit off topic . We should consider that hot air rises. The upper part of the room/house will have the hotter air. If it is a ceiling fan....it will be blowing down the hot air. The standing fan will be circulating the cooler air . If you don't have a fan....lay on the floor....it is where the coolest air will be. Houses built with small windows way up near to the ceiling do not need fan.....the hot air rises and will exit the house through these windows to keep moving up. Without the windows the hot air remain trapped. Most houses are taking on the designs of European or cold weather climates ....designs to trap hot air. Our houses should be designed to get rid of hot air. In the US...houses in hot Texas are designed different from houses in cold weather New York or Canada. Whatever we do...we should consider hot air rises.

You are just among the lucky few able to buy original,Once you change the coil,it’s gone,and it must be in a static position to avoid frequent interference…

Also,yours might be an industrial fan.

If you ever try old ceiling fans, you won't say standing fan. Those types can blow poverty away

Ceiling fan will last for years,but standing fan will last at most 2 yrs and once you change the follow come coil,it’s gone forever unless you buy OX or something similar to those industrial fans.

Ceiling fan also spreads air more than standing fan.
I'm presently using OX, the way it blows even when it's on the least, is just too much especially when the voltage is high.

Nah...depends on the house u re staying....most mordern houses now introduce high roof celling.
Long rod can always bring your ceiling fan to the required height you want.

its industrial and also I kept it in a static position.
No rotation, frequent rotation kills fans.

This is what many people don't know:
Ceiling Fan consumes more electricity units than standing Fan.

Do not argue about this, just do a practical research on it.

So, Standing Fan is economical and also portable to use

Malagans:
Which of these fans would you rather have in your room?

As for me, I prefer the ceiling fan because the Air from ceiling fan feels for Natural than the standing fan.

My only fear and concern about the ceiling fan is , what if it pulls off the ceiling? The impact of that isn't something to imagine at all.
Standing fan is prone to fire n rotating issue. Ceiling fan all the way

All my ceiling fans are 15yrs plus ...only need to change the control once in a while
Re: Standing Fan Or Ceiling Fan. Which One Do You Prefer? (Photo) by Beremx(f): 1:50pm On Feb 21
The type of standing fans in the market are low grade quality and they spoil quickly. Standing fan can last up to five years without any repairs. So I'll go for ceiling fan
