Rowenta Pedestal Fan, 53 Inches, Ultra Quiet Oscillating Fan for Bedroom, 5 Speeds, Silver, VU5670 Review (2026)

Who this fan is for

Rowenta positions this as a bedroom-oriented pedestal fan, built tall enough at 53 inches to direct airflow across an entire bed rather than just a nearby desk or chair the way a smaller table fan would. That height matters for anyone who wants moving air reaching them while lying down, since a low fan often blows across the room at a level well below where a sleeper's body actually is. The oscillating head spreads that airflow across a wider area automatically rather than requiring the fan to be aimed and left pointed at one spot all night. Anyone short on floor space or living in a small bedroom may find the pedestal base bulkier than a slim tower fan, which is worth considering if floor space near the bed is limited.

Build, size and airflow

The fan stands about 55 inches tall with adjustable height, and the base measures roughly 23.6 inches wide by 19.7 inches deep, with the head using a 16 inch diameter blade assembly with five blades. Rowenta rates the airflow at up to roughly 2436 cubic feet per minute, and the fan offers five speed settings including a turbo boost mode for maximum airflow and a dedicated silent mode for nighttime use. The oscillation feature swings the head side to side automatically, spreading airflow across a wider area of the room than a fixed, non-oscillating fan would cover from the same spot.

Noise level and sleep-friendly features

Rowenta rates the fan's quietest setting at around 35 decibels, which is in the range generally considered comparable to a quiet library or a soft conversation, and the branding leans on Turbo Silence as its defining feature for bedroom use. An electronic control panel includes an 8-hour timer, useful for running the fan only through the first part of the night or letting it shut off automatically rather than running until morning, along with an energy-saving mode. The included remote control has onboard storage built into the fan body, so it is less likely to get lost compared with a loose remote that has nowhere designated to sit.

Setup and everyday use

The fan runs on standard household power and does not require any special installation beyond assembling the pedestal base and adjusting it to the desired height, a design shared with most standing pedestal fans in this category. The remote is powered by a coin cell battery included in the box, so it works right out of the packaging without needing to source a separate battery. Because it is a pedestal fan rather than a tower or bladeless design, the blades sit behind a protective grille, standard on fans of this type, which is worth keeping in mind for households with young children or pets around the fan.

How it compares in the guide

In the site's best quiet bedroom fans guide this Rowenta pedestal fan ranks third of six with a score of 8.1 out of 10, behind the DREO Smart Tower Fan with app and Alexa control at 9.0 and the newer DREO adjustable bedroom fan at 8.4, both of which use DC motors rated even quieter than this Rowenta model. It sits ahead of the Honeywell QuietSet tower fan and table fan, both scored 7.8, reflecting Rowenta's reputation for build quality and airflow output even without the smart features found on the higher-ranked DREO models. Buyers who specifically want app or voice control should look at the DREO options instead, while those who prioritize proven build quality and strong airflow may prefer this Rowenta.
