The Honeywell QuietSet was easier to assemble than the other tower fans we tested, with tool-free construction and a simple connection to the base that was a lot easier to deal with than the other tower models. It has a solid, stable build and a beautiful, colorfully laid-out control panel that was simpler to figure out and use than the competition, which is why it’s earned the spot as our top pick. Our pick for best tower fan, the Honeywell QuietSet Whole Room tower fan, is well-built, quiet and affordable. The manufacturer also claims it to be dishwasher safe, and it comes with a limited lifetime warranty.Your CNN account Log in to your CNN accountĪ tower fan gives you great cooling performance with a small footprint, so it’s easy to place in a living room, bedroom or anywhere you’d prefer to tuck an appliance out of the way. The silicone-padded handles are easy to grab, and though the pan isn’t cast aluminum, it’s formed out of a heavy enough gauge metal (carbon steel) that it would be tough to dent. Its shape isn’t as beautiful as the Nordic Ware, but the ridges are relatively defined, the nonstick coating releases easily, and it was the only other pan that we tested that would bake cake to an even brown.

But if you really want that classic shape, or you’re looking for something a little more affordable, we’d recommend the Anolon Advanced Nonstick Bakeware 9.5” Fluted Mold. As long as you make sure the pan is one of the cast-aluminum variety, it will be of the same quality as our top pick.

You can view the full range on Nordic Ware’s website, but many are available for less money on Amazon. If the Nordic Ware pan sells out, I’d first of all recommend trying one of Nordic Ware’s other cast-aluminum bundt pans in a different shape.
