What is considered the number one fan brand depends on category and how you define number one, whether by sales volume, reputation, longevity, or premium quality, but several brands consistently rank at top. For ceiling fans in the US by sales volume and brand recognition, Hunter Fan Company is often considered number one, founded in 1886, known as the original ceiling fan company, sold at Home Depot and Lowe's, with wide range from budget to premium, lifetime motor warranties, and strong reputation for durability and quiet operation with many fans lasting 15 to 25 years. For budget portable fans by sales volume, Lasko is number one, founded in 1906, selling more portable fans than any other brand in US with box fans, tower fans, and pedestal fans priced $20 to $100 available everywhere. For premium performance and innovation, Big Ass Fans with their Haiku line is considered number one for high-end residential and commercial fans, though expensive at $1000 plus, known for extremely efficient DC motors and 15 year warranties. For bladeless and design innovation, Dyson is number one premium brand. For air circulation performance, Vornado is considered number one for whole room circulation. Overall, Hunter is generally cited as number one ceiling fan brand by consumer reports and electricians for combination of sales, history, and reliability, while Lasko is number one for portable fans by units sold.
