Is a 3 or 5 blade stand fan better? Choosing the correct number of fan blades for a room helps find the optimal airflow. Fans with three blades increase airflow efficiency and move more air because they allow the motor to run faster. Fans with five blades deliver a less choppy airflow and are quieter because of the symmetrical spacing and slower speed.
