Fan recommendations for trainer workouts

This.  I use the same one.  (well, I use 3 actually but this one is the primary)

I use two of these (obtained from Lowes).  You can get one larger one for about the price of two of this smaller unit.  I prefer having two so I can aim them in different directions.

I have one with a remote as well and love it for this.  That way when I'm still cool/cold getting on the bike I start it just on low but can increase as needed.  Mine is a large box fan that also tilts so I can get it at the right angle. 

X2  I "borrowed" one of these fans from Sams for my daughters outside B-Day party, it kept people cool outside in the yard...that is one strong fan!

I have something very similar to this. It allows you to direct the air directly at you. I think it works great I just put it in front of me and turn it on high.

After having a home use fan for 5+ winters on the trainer, for Xmas last year I got a real commercial fan and it makes a big how much air circulation I got.

It was something like this. We bought it on Amazon and I read reviews to decide which to get that had free shipping.

I got a Vornado.

 These fans are awesome and I have a few throughout the house. Strong and quiet!

This is the one that I currently have. It certainly is strong-ish, and nice and quiet. It also stashes easily under a table when not in use. It's just not strong enough for the harder workouts, in my experience.

Ah, found the one I have.

Just a quick update on this thread from a week ago. I ended up following KathyG's recommendation and getting an AirKing fan from Amazon to replace my small-but-powerful Vornado. Just got in late from a looong day sitting in airplanes to find the fan on my back porch. Couldn't resist the temptation to hop on the bike for a hard trainer ride, to see if it would make a difference. ... Oh yeah. What an improvement! Despite wearing a warm baselayer, I was much drier and cooler than I would have been after a similar ride with my other fan, and possibly even felt stronger. Still not quite as good as outdoors, but those hard interval sessions are looking rather more inviting now. Thank again to everyone for the tips. 

Wait a sec.  You wear CLOTHES (apart from bike shorts) on the trainer?

Remember, we brits even wear long johns to the beach.

I love my Vornado fan, but like you say its wind flow is a bit "narrow" and I need to keep it 12 inches from my face to be of any use.  Thanks to the advice of the other posters here, just ordered the Lasko 18" pedestal fan w/ remote from Amazon to supplement the Vornado.

Just in time for Jorge's workouts
