Costway 40-inch LCD tower fan

Full-sized tower fans are a space-efficient way to cool an entire room, and are an especially great choice if you have kids since these units do not feature exposed blades for little fingers to get into. The

three-speed Costway tower fan

 stands at 40 inches in height and features a modern LCD control panel, remote control, timer mode, and quieter operation than traditional box fans. A tidy $42 discount brings the sleek Costway 40-inch tower fan down to $48 on Amazon for a limited time.
