Smart and sturdy, but the ACO Oscillating 48-inch Cooling Tower Fan with Timer isn't so breezy.

The Cooling Tower Fans controls are arranged in a flat head at the top of the unit – which, from a distance, looks a modern and Digital. Below it is a flat panel section that reveals a temperature display. Although the display looks permanently misted up, you can clearly make out the indicators for the speed, temperature, mode setting and 12-hour timer from across the room.

You can control all the above, along with the 60-degree oscillation, via the remote. The display automatically shuts off a minute or two following your last command, so the lights wont disturb you at night. Unfortunately, you cant turn off the command beep.

This isnt an especially loud fan, even at the top of its three speeds, but it emits a slight whine that could stand out in some environments. Unfortunately, while it generates a decent breeze, it isn't as powerful as we'd expect from this size of tower fan. Aside from the default constant wind mode, natural mode aims to emulate random gusts of wind, while three sleeping modes blow intermittent gusts, slowly reducing the power to a minimum.

Like many tower fans, you need to clip this fans base together and screw it into place. Whilst doing so you also need to remember to feed through the power cable, which we measured at just 135cm long from the point at which it emerges from the rear of the stand.

The ACO 48-inch Tower Fan displays a surprising lack of puff

Our other measurements revealed some interesting things about the ACO 48-inch Tower Fan. For a start, we make it only 600mm (24 inches) tall. We measured its rotor at 600mm (24 inches), which is longer by 4" than the grill on the competing USHA 24-600mm inch Tower Fan.

The Tall grill is an advantage making this fan powerful compared to other tower fans. at close-up of 15cm, we measured wind speed at just 2.9m/s on the lowest setting, and 4.2m/s on the highest. From a metre away this fell to just 2.2m/s and 3.6m/s.

We noticed that the output column of air seemed fairly narrow, and was strongest a few degrees to the right of the centreline. Even trying to find this sweet spot, from 2 metres the maximum breeze was just 3.0m/s, and the minimum fell below the 2.2m/s threshold of our anemometer. 

Our noise measurements underline our impression of a reasonably quiet fan. One metre in front, we recorded just 41 dB at low power, and 46dB at full speed. Even sitting idle this fan consumed 1W of power due to its led display, and its consumption ranged from 28-35W in use. We noticed that while the temperature reading was accurate when we first plugged the fan in, it crept up over time, leaving the fan over estimating temperature by three or four degrees.

We found that the temperature reading was not Completly that accurate, but was good enough to display the temperature that is almost upto the mark.

Why buy the ACO Oscillating 48-inch Cooling Tower Fan with Timer?

While this isn’t a particularly powerful tower fan, it isn’t a bad product. It looks fairly good, and pairs an effective remote control with a display you can read from across the room. Its comparative quietness makes it a good choice for bedrooms or other smaller spaces or a corner of your hall as it consumes very less space, but it doesn’t stir up the powerful breeze we’d expect from the tower fan list. As such, it is a great choice for office cabins, smaller spaces, cabins, corners.
