About Pelonis
Pelonis traces back to the late 1980s, when founder Sam Pelonis set up a company to market and sell a new line of ceramic home heaters, later expanding into fans, dehumidifiers, air conditioners, and humidifiers under the Pelonis name. The brand today operates as a Midea brand — Midea, one of the world's largest home appliance manufacturers, has produced Pelonis-branded products since at least the mid-2000s and holds the registered Pelonis trademark. The current consumer lineup spans box, pedestal, table, and tower fans; PTC ceramic, oil-filled, quartz, and fan-forced heaters; plus air conditioners, dehumidifiers, and humidifiers — a full home-comfort catalog built around straightforward, accessibly priced products.
Independent testing lab TechGearLab evaluated the Pelonis 40-inch tower fan (model PSF40T2ABB) and highlighted its airflow output and affordable pricing among the tower fans it tested, awarding it a Best Buy Runner Up distinction. That lines up with what we found testing the brand's tower fan lineup directly for DIYRated: the 30-inch oscillating model and the 40-inch bladeless model we reviewed carry Amazon review bases of more than 5,000 and 23,000 verified buyers respectively, both holding ratings above 4.3 stars. Pelonis states that safety has been its top priority across its heater and fan lines for more than three decades.

Pelonis products we rated highly

A built-in top handle and a compact 30-inch, roughly seven-pound body make it easy to carry room to room, and simple top-panel controls with three speeds and 90-degree oscillation need no manual to operate.
