It is no longer news to know that some fans are energy monster (Power guzzlers) , typical example is OX fan. While this fan can move a large volume of air fast, the energy they consume is rather high, a typical energy efficient fan will consume lesser energy and will move cool air in a decent manner. E.g., A 16" Ox fan will take a around 90W at highest while a 16" energy efficient fan will take 10W to run.
