A fan doesn't really cool down a room, but the air movement it creates does feel cooling on your skin. Which type of fan works best for this depends mainly on the space, the noise level you find acceptable, and how much space you can spare. Table, floor, and ceiling fans all have their own strengths and weaknesses.
Table fan: compact and focused
A table fan is small, portable, and ideal for a desk, bedside table, or kitchen counter. Its range is limited: it mainly cools the person sitting directly in front of it, not the entire room. For a home office or a small bedroom, that is often just enough, but for a living room, a table fan is usually too weak.
Floor fan or pedestal fan: flexible and more powerful
A floor or pedestal fan stands on the ground or on an adjustable stand and generally moves much more air than a table model. As a result, it cools a larger part of the room. A model like the AirFlow AV25G is height-adjustable up to 125 cm, features digital rotation, and is foldable, so you can easily move it or store it away out of season. This makes a pedestal fan a good middle ground between a compact table fan and a larger tower fan.
Tower fan: stylish and space-saving
A tower fan is narrow and stands upright, so it takes up little floor space while still distributing a substantial airflow over a larger area. The AirFlow TV26G is a good example: a slim model that fits well in a living room or bedroom where you don't want to sacrifice much space to a wide stand.
Ceiling fan: continuous air circulation
A ceiling fan is mounted to the ceiling and provides even air circulation throughout the entire room without taking up any floor space. The downside is that installation is more involved: you need a suitable ceiling and usually an electrician. For rental homes or a quick solution, a ceiling fan is therefore less practical than a portable model.
Which one should you choose?
For focused, personal cooling at a desk or bedside table, a table fan is sufficient. If you want to make an entire room feel cooler without a permanent installation, a pedestal or tower fan is the practical choice. A ceiling fan is especially interesting if you are already renovating or furnishing a new build and want to provide permanent air circulation.
Direct answer: a table fan is suitable for a single workspace, a floor or pedestal fan cools a larger space flexibly and portably, a tower fan does so while saving space, and a ceiling fan provides permanent circulation but requires a permanent installation.
