I owned a fan like this when I lived in Oceanside (CA) and didn't get wind breezes in my bedroom. So many of the fans I looked at were noisier than some of my neighbors; but this one was quiet and coooool....

The Brookstone Mighty Max Fan Tower is between three and four feet tall and about six inches wide.  It is tall enough to put out air in a higher level than most floor fans, yet slim enough to be put over in a corner, out of the way. It has three fan speeds, to put forth the desired level air in the room.  It also oscillates, if you wish or you can make it stand still in one direction.  It does have a timer and you can select different modes.  It comes with a remote control, so you can change things from across the room. I love this as I tend to be hot-natured, whereas the rest of my family tends to be colder.  I can set this so it blows directly on me, without it being on top of me.  I have it in my living room which is a twenty foot by twenty foot.  It is a large room, yet this one fan can cool it down quickly.  It is even more effective than my two ceiling fans.  It is quiet and it also doesn't scare my cats. The only downside is it can be a little on the expensive side.
