We're looking for tower fan models/brands specifically, but you can use this post to talk about whatever :)

I feel like I might be decently equipped to answer this. My house is older, I have no ceiling fans but I do like constant airflow especially sleeping.

I've went through a few models of tower fans and ran them virtually 24/7 and I think the one I have now has been my best choice.

I've tried a handful of vornado fans, months of use they begin getting louder, more noises start happening until the fan makes such noises that peaceful sleep or presence by them aren't possible.

Vornado fans were nice, until they failed from use.

My current fan is a Dreo. It's a tower fan but it uses a brushless motor which I didn't think any of my other fans had. It's been by far the quietest, which gives me confidence that it'll last much longer too.

Might be worth considering: https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09N3HKY79?ref=ppx_pop_mob_ap_share
