Brutal summer heat is cloaking most of the country right about now, and if you’re anything like us, sweaty summer nights are steering you straight to the thermostat. But we all know that every push of the down button tacks up another dollar onto your cooling bill. No, thank you. That’s why we did some digging and found a powerful (and affordable) alternative to turning up the A/C — the Pelonis Oscillating Tower Fan. It delivers serious cooling power, takes up barely any floor space — and right now it’s just $58, the lowest price we’ve seen it.

This fan comes equipped with three speeds, can rotate up to 90 degrees for maximum airflow and has a remote control.
Save $7 | Lowest price ever
Why is it a good deal? 💰
Not only will your cooling bills be lower (and let’s face it, we know they can get huge in the summer — “I’ll deal with it later” is a common refrain when the shvitz is in) but at $58 this is the lowest price our trackers have seen this fan. So you might want to get one for the living room and one for the boudoir — the total will still be lower than pumping your A/C.
Why do I need this? 🤔
If you struggle to get your room to just the right sleeping temperature, the Pelonis might be your summer MVP. With three fan speeds — plus an energy-saving option — it gets stale, stifling air moving fast. But that’s just the start: You can also fine-tune your breeze with three airflow modes. Choose normal for steady air, natural for a wind-like ebb and flow or sleep mode, which gently tapers off as you doze.

It also oscillates quietly up to 90 degrees, so no corner of your room gets left out in the heat. Not loving where you placed it? No problem — it’s super lightweight and easy to move from room to room.
What takes even less effort is turning it on from across the room, thanks to the handy-dandy remote control. Yep, that means you can turn it up, turn it down or turn it off from the comfort of your bed! Talk about saving energy!

“I needed something to cool me down at night and this does the trick!” a fan of the fan wrote. “I love that it has a remote that allows me to adjust the speed, timer and oscillating feature…I have been using it daily. I don’t want to turn the thermostat down any lower, as I’m only in one part of my home. So, I just turn the fan on to cool me right off. I usually have to turn it off after about 20 – 30 minutes because I’m cold. So, that’s a good thing. I recommend this silent beauty.”
“This fan cooling capabilities is impressive,” a cool customer wrote. “You can decide how intensely you want things cooled and how you want to experience that.”
Cons 👎
Another fan wrote: “Love it! … My only complaint is I wish it could go even speedier and get cooler, because I sweat at night and I can’t go to sleep without a blanket (super counterproductive, I know).”
“Worth the money,” said a final reviewer. “This fan works great! Each of the features seems to operate as described. [But] with the remote, you have to point it slightly above the fan for it to register — it doesn’t have an extremely far reach, but I don’t mind that.”
