Note: this article, originally published in 2021, gets updated yearly (includes 2024) and has become the authoritative source for table fan power consumption and running cost insights<\/strong>. Table fan data continues to remain essentially unchanged – there has been little development in table fan efficiency since this article was first published. Electricity prices have fluctuated dramatically during this time, however, so readers are encouraged to input their unit rate into the calculator below for custom, up-to-date, table fan running cost estimates.<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n The size and type of table fan impacts power consumption. Below is a breakdown of the average wattage for small, medium and large table fans.<\/p>\n\n\n\n <\/p>\n\n\n\n Surprisingly, with an average of 52.7W, medium sized table fans consume more electricity than large table fans. This is because most Circulator table fans, these typically use more watts than traditional table fans, fall within this size range.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Small table fans have an average wattage of 28.5W, while large table fans use an average of 44.3W.<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n The wattage specified by manufacturers is the max power rating, so you can expect actual consumption to be lower. Below, I detail the actual wattage consumed by a typical table fan across its various speeds.<\/p>\n\n\n\n Also, continue reading to get sample research data, fans that stood out as particularly efficient and a useful calculator that will help you work out the cost of running your table fan.<\/p>\n\n\n\nTable Fan Size<\/strong><\/td> Average Wattage<\/strong><\/td><\/tr> Small (4″ – 6.9″)<\/td> 28.5W<\/td><\/tr> Medium (7″ – 9.9″)<\/td> 52.7W<\/td><\/tr> Large (10″ +)<\/td> 44.3W<\/td><\/tr> All sizes<\/td> 42.5W<\/td><\/tr><\/tbody><\/table><\/figure>\n\n\n\n ![\"Table](\"https:\/\/ecocostsavings.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/03\/table-fan-wattage.jpg\")
