QuanTara Small Desk Fan with Remote vs Pretxorve Desktop Tower Fan

The QuanTara is the more capable desk fan: five speeds, true oscillation, a brushless motor, a night light, an aromatherapy pad slot and a no-drill wall mount. The Pretxorve is a slim battery tower that runs cordless for up to six hours and is the easier one to move between rooms. Build on both is basic plastic, and neither carries a written warranty, so expect them to be short-lived accessories rather than long-term appliances.

• Choose the QuanTara if you want a fan that stays put on a desk or wall and gives you real speed control, oscillation and a night light.
• Choose the Pretxorve if you need a cordless fan for a nightstand, shelf or power outage and prefer a narrow tower shape.
