We bought a tower fan for our bed room. The motor has 3 speeds, (L M and H) There is a remote control that uses 2 triple (A)batteries. There is a button for oscillation or hold, a sleep timer which is very blind friendly. Each press of the button gives you an hour up to 12 hours before turning it's self off. Don't worry if you forget where. Just press the stop key to start over again. The tower fans use a squirrel cage configuration and the cage is very wide 3 feet at least. It has a smaller foot print then stand fans and is quieter. We bought our fan at Costco for $40. Wal-Mart Kmart and Target also sells them.
