          All the time. Used to buy them in Summer and they would start to bend and the blades would become misaligned quickly after time and would not blow at the optimum breeze anymore like it did when new. It would just be on but you would hardly feel anything, just wasting electricity. Base also loosens after time and it wont stand up straight. Dont kid yourself, you get what you pay for.

      I got it because it's a lot quieter.

      On the lowest setting it's inaudible, even when placed near you. On the higher settings, the noise is mainly turbulence from the grill which all fans have. You can prove this by taking off the grill….actually, don't actually take off the grill.

      There seems to be some variation on the molding of the fan blades which makes some of the slightly unbalanced, but you can only tell if you put your head right next to it (visually unbalanced/you can hear it very slightly).

    • leoorange3107 on 10/02/2018 - 12:48

      My fan just arrived yesterday. Good quality, very quiet on silent mode but LED light is too bright.

    • brisneylander on 10/02/2018 - 13:35

      Given that at least 2 of us on here have been supplied units with wrong parts making it impossible to put together I'd say yes, it's absolutely silent when you have no way of using it.
      I'm going through the returns process now.
      I therefore find it impossible to endorse this in any way. Never again.

    If this is actually a Kambrook rebadged fan then prospective buyers should check out the power savings on a DC fan, compared to a normal fan.

    These numbers show much better electrical efficiency for DC fans.

    40cm DC Motor Pedestal Fan - Wattage: 27 Watts

    40cm High Velocity Pedestal Fan - Wattage: 80 Watts

    40cm Arctic Pedestal Fan - Wattage: 40 Watts

    • m2000 on 01/02/2018 - 15:38

      So that 's about 50 Watts of saving (DC Vs AC). with all the assumptions, that would be

      Hours of use per day: 8
      h/day
      1 kilowatt-hour (kWh) cost: 40

      Electricity cost per day: $0.16

      Electricity cost per month: $4.87

      If this is actually a Kambrook rebadged fan

      It's actually a generic that both Kambrook and Kogan rebadged with very slight differences.

    • drojf on 01/02/2018 - 20:44
      +1

      I have this fan (the kambrook one, but they're all rebadged anyway. I saw a third variant from a different company and it's the same fan…).

      The power it uses is proportional to the fan speed. This fan can run veeeery slowly on the lower settings (since there are 26 settings), which doesn't use much power.

      The DC/AC efficiency thing is bullshit marketing, more or less - I own one and on the box it has a disclaimer that says "the DC motor is more efficient compared to an AC motor similar size" … which is true for DC motors vs AC motors in general, but doesn't actually talk about the fan's efficiency in particular. I wouldn't be buying this fan just because it's a 'DC' fan - I would buy it because you can run it as low as you need it, and it's less noisy at that speed, uses less power, has auto power off, has a remote control….

      That said it's a pretty good fan. Perhaps not worth the price for some users but unfortunately not many other fans offer extremely slow speeds (silent mode) where it's more or less inaudible (…well ceiling fan, is ideal, but you can't always have one installed). We have a couple and noticed that the fan is unbalanced on 2/3 of them, which makes it slightly louder on the 'silent' setting. But nothing to be worried about…

      Also of note is that the base is weighted to stop it falling over, and the height is adjustable (although I never used it at a different height). On the most silent mode the noise may vary slightly depending on the angle (best when horizontal).

      • drojf on 02/02/2018 - 21:36

        Some differences which I can't really confirm between the two Kambrook vs Kogan/midea versions:

        • the Kambrook fan turns the display off automatically after a while. The Kogan/midea doesn't?

        • the Kambrook fan remembers the last used mode. The Kogan/midea doesnt?

        If anyone could confirm this, this would be great. The only thing I can confirm is that the kambrook display is orange, while the kogan display is blue, and the moulding around the control panel looks different.

    • leetec on 01/02/2018 - 22:33
      +1

      In fact this Kogan is Midea rebadged not Kambrook, eactly same fan with same material. another fact, Kambrook is a copy from Midea.

  • ryu on 01/02/2018 - 17:03

    No Kogan any more. I bought a portable Kogan aircon on the long weekend. It said it would be dispatched on the Tuesday, now the week is coming to an end, it's still being processed in the warehouse. Kogan must have gone downhills since last time I dealt with them.

  • ausmechkeyboards on 01/02/2018 - 17:32

    What kind of remote does it use? Infrared or RF?

    • bwad on 01/02/2018 - 17:44

      I have a rebrand of this fan it’s a excellent fan I highly recommend it, but I couldn’t get i my harmony hub to control it, I think it just has basic non standard IR protocol. Also the remote is pretty weak it runs off a CR2032 so you have to be pointing it directly to the fan.

      • ausmechkeyboards on 01/02/2018 - 18:00

      • videoman on 01/02/2018 - 19:15

        How close do you have to be to the fan before the remote control works properly? The thing I hate about my old fan is that you have to be within about 1m range before the remote even works.

  • techhead on 01/02/2018 - 20:44

    Not so sure on that price, I'm sure I saw it for $69 once. "Lowest price ever" might be a marketing gimmick.
    The blue LED display would be an issue at night unless you can turn it off.

    There's something about the Midea FS40-12AR which looks suspiciously simi.. the same. Midea pressure cooker is great so this might be OK, albeit expensive. http://newcastel.heidigital.com.au/midea/product/16-in40-cm-…

    Purchased one last week for the same price from Dick Smith.

    It's a great fan and definitely very quiet on lower speeds.

    However a silly design flaw is that you cannot turn off the LED display via the remote control.

    Trust me when I say that if you're using this fan in a bedroom you will need to turn off the LED display as it is ultra bright blue.

    The only way of turning off the display is to hold in the power button on the fan itself for 3 seconds.

    However as soon as you adjust the speed of the fan the display turns back on.

    Yes, I know Mi Band 2 is not the cheapest I can get, but with the voucher discounts and faster delivery makes it a good deal I think.

  • 1600dave on 02/02/2018 - 13:10

    To any owners of this fan (not a rebadged copy etc)
    Does it remember its last setting, or turn on to a default?
    We have the Kambrook, which always returns to its last setting/mode, and also an Arlec from Bunnings, which does not and starts at 18.

      No, unfortunately it doesn't.

      When you turn it on it always defaults to the Normal setting at speed 10

    Anyone considering this should take a look at another Kogan fan, https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/kogan-standard-dc-motor-pedesta…

    I have one of these. For $30 less now, it's a great unit. Very light but stable. No vibrating. Almost silent on low, powerful on high. Good remote. Lights and sounds can be turned off.

      Power consumption for the 4-speed Kogan Standard DC Motor Pedestal Fan for those who are interested:
      Standby:_______0.63W
      Slow speed:____1.9W
      Low speed:_____7.3W
      Medium speed:_11.5W
      High speed:____23.2W

      I would have preferred a 5th speed in between Slow and Low, e.g. ~5W

    Thanks, bought 2. Now I just have to find some dark tape to dim that screen so I can use it in the bedroom.

      Press the off button for a few seconds - will turn off LED while the fan will continue operation.

      It's on page 4 of the manual…

      As i discovered, the manual is important with this item…

      What else did you buy from them?

      • Brizmaster on 05/02/2018 - 18:48

        i bought 2 Pack ElectroSonic Pest Repeller for $49 and used new account $10 referral as well

    $98 delivered is a bit rich for a fan that has an ultra bright LED display. However, between Shipster & the $20 we miss you credit, $69 delivered to your door is a decent price. Thanks OP, been looking for a good fan, this will go well with the Mi Universal IR controller.
