Looking for recommendations for a fan that is powerful but quiet. My couch sits in an alcove so I need to direct the cold air from the ac to me, but I am hyper sensitive to noise.

    If you want to move air quietly you need to move a large volume slowly.

      YEP this guy gets it. Large diameter & low velocity. Vornado is nice.

      I’ve been looking for a fan that literally mechanically raises and lowers a large leaf-like thing (think Anthony&Cleo) in a pleasant wafting fashion. How does no such device exist?

        I’ve seen that done. But only in commercial contexts, like restaurants, or in Thailand and India
