If you want a storm in your room to blow you away, then you should skip buying ceiling fans and get a farata fan instead.
But note that Farata fans consume a lot of electricity. On average, a farata fan will consume around 160 watts of electricity. So it will skyrocket your electricity bills if you run this for a long time.
All the farata fans have slow-moving fan blades if compared with high-speed pedestal fans like this one. But yet they manage to move a lot of air and with low sound.
Use Farata fans for their durability and high air throw. But these are becoming rare due to fiber blade pedestal fans.

Pedestal fan or Farata fan?
A normal pedestal fan is a newer technology fan with fiber/plastic blades. Lower-end pedestal fans come with an aluminum motor.
But Farata fans always come with metal blades and copper motors.
However, pedestal fans do not produce much noise unless it is a high-speed fan like Helix Pro. But farata fans always make some noise.
And while pedestal fans come in many colors, farata fans come with the metal body, metal blades etc.
And while the Farata fan mostly consumes 160 watts of power, the mostly plastic build pedestal fans consume hardly 70 watts. But high-speed pedestal fans consume around 120 watts.
And the companies, which make the usual plastic pedestal fans, also make farata fans.
Farata fans are somewhat of older technology.
You can check Farata fans from companies like USHA, Crompton, Bajaj etc.
How much do pedestal or tower fans cost to run?
Tower fans cost low if the tower fan is not big enough or has a strong motor in it. But pedestal fans always consume more power and high-speed pedestal fans will consume around.
Conclusion
Farata fans are the old generation of ruff and tough fans with high airflow. But if you need more high speed action and airflow, then you should get high-speed pedestal fans rather than farata fans.
But if you want more durable and much heavier fans, than farata fans are the way to go.
