When the scorching heat starts to rise, simply fire up this cool new high performance Lasko Jet Air Tower Fan ($60). It doesn't quite have the power of jet propulsion, but it does produce 30-45% greater air velocity than its closest competitor with 9.1 mph wind streams compared to other tower fans generating 5.3 mph streams. It features three performance speeds, two independent flex-direct air vents for maximum air circulation and wide-area oscillation. You just may literally get blown away! Refreshing!
