What are the best pedestal fans to buy in the UK?
Our top pick for Pedestal Fans in the UK is the DREO 20dB Standing Pedestal Fan with DC Motor and 9 Speeds.
The DREO 20dB Standing Pedestal Fan suits a bedroom or office, the rooms its listing names: it states 20dB, a brushless DC motor, 9 speeds and 4 modes including Sleep, 120° oscillation, a height of 37–42 inches, a remote and an 8-hour timer.

The DREO 20dB pedestal fan is our top pick because its listing states a brushless DC motor, 9 speeds and 4 modes, 120° oscillation with a 120° manual tilt, a height of 37–42 inches (94–107 cm), a remote and an 8-hour timer. For stated airflow and power, the Belaco 16" lists up to 2750m³/h of airflow, a 45W motor and a 60cm base; for a standing fan with a remote and a sleep mode, the ROVSUN 16" lists 115cm-130cm of height adjustment and a timer of up to 7.5 hours.
This guide compares six pedestal fans from DREO, Belaco, ROVSUN, Grennswick and Pelonis, using what each listing states: height, speeds, oscillation, timer, noise and power. Stated noise figures run from 20dB on both DREO fans to 45dB max on the Belaco; the Pelonis listing gives none.

Our process
How do we choose our picks?
We don’t lab-test products ourselves. Instead we synthesise current Amazon UK listings and published specs into clear, honest recommendations. We earn a commission if you buy through our links, but that never changes which products we rank.
Current UK availability
We check each pick against live Amazon UK catalogue data rather than last year’s model lists. Stock moves fast, so a listing can sell out after we publish.
Published specs
We compare manufacturer specifications so each pick is right for a real budget and use-case.
UK-specific fit
We factor in UK voltage and plug/fitting standards — details that generic global lists miss.

Editor's Note
None of these six listings states a warranty term, and only the Belaco gives an airflow volume (up to 2750m³/h); the DREO listings give distances instead, a breeze up to 95ft (29m) and air circulated up to 27m away. Wattage appears on three listings (ROVSUN, Belaco and Grennswick), and the Pelonis listing calls the fan Ultra-Quiet without a decibel figure.
Our Take
As a default, the DREO 20dB Standing Pedestal Fan: a brushless DC motor, 9 speeds, 120° oscillation, a remote and an 8-hour timer, all on the listing. For stated airflow and wattage, the Belaco 16" lists up to 2750m³/h of airflow and a 45W motor; for oscillation in two directions, the Pelonis lists 135° horizontal and 85° vertical.
Questions & answers
Frequently asked questions
Is a pedestal fan the same as a standing fan?
These listings use both names for one product: DREO's titles say Standing Pedestal Fan on the DREO 20dB, and Standing Fan and 42" Pedestal Fans on the TurboPoly 353; Grennswick's says Oscillating Pedestal Fan and Standing Floor Fan; and Pelonis calls its fan a pedestal fan and an adjustable height standing fan.
How tall is a pedestal fan?
The listings here state height ranges of 37–42 inches (94–107 cm) for the DREO 20dB, 38"–42" for the DREO TurboPoly 353 and 23.2-42.5" for the Pelonis. The Belaco extends up to 125cm, the ROVSUN adjusts between 115cm and 130cm, and the Grennswick between 1.2M and 1.3M.
How far do pedestal fans oscillate?
The Pelonis states 135° horizontal and 85° vertical oscillation at the same time, the DREO 20dB 120° horizontal with a 120° manual tilt, and the ROVSUN a 60-120° range. The DREO TurboPoly 353 and Grennswick state 90°, and the Belaco 85° left-right with a 30° vertical tilt.
How quiet is a pedestal fan?
The listings state 20dB for both DREO fans, 40dB for the ROVSUN, as low as 40dB for the Grennswick and 45dB max for the Belaco; these are the brands' own figures. The Pelonis listing calls the fan Ultra-Quiet but gives no decibel figure.
How many watts does a pedestal fan use?
Three listings state a motor wattage: 65W for the ROVSUN and 45W for the Belaco and the Grennswick. The DREO 20dB names a brushless DC motor without a wattage, and the DREO TurboPoly 353 and Pelonis listings state none.
Do pedestal fans come with a remote and timer?
Five of the six here do, per their listings: both DREO fans list a remote and an 8 hour timer, the ROVSUN and Grennswick a remote and a timer of up to 7.5 hours, and the Pelonis a remote and a 6H timer. The Belaco listing does not mention a remote or a timer.
