Background and Identification
Founded in 1982 and based in Milford, Massachusetts, Holmes is a home appliance company that produces mechanical fans, space heaters, and humidifiers. Holmes’ brands include Rival, Crock-Pot, Bionaire, and White Mountain.
A tower fan is a type of cooling appliance that typically oscillates from left to right pushing hot air outward. The device is tall and narrow and differs from an air conditioner since it does not cool air. Instead, it just creates air flow, making the device energy efficient.
Tower fans are different from pedestal fans (normal, circular fans) since they do not take up a lot of space and are usually less powerful because they have smaller blades. Some tower fans come with a dust filter that can remove dust particles from the air to remove airborne allergens that can aggravate allergies and asthma.
Holmes tower fans come with numerous settings to adjust the speed, have the fan oscillating or fixed, put a timer, and have the fan cycle through the different speeds. However, the exact settings range and options vary based on the tower fan models.
All Holmes tower fans come with a one year limited warranty.
