      yes a lot of good reviews , not so much on power saving but more on fine tuning speed step to silent operation for sleeping

        Agreed that this might be the best fan I've ever used. However, the ultra bright blue light is extremely annoying for sleeping.

          A small blob of bluetac (or the white variant for aesthetic) would make that a non issue

            @Rail Rider95: I haven't got this exact fan, got a sunbeam one that has the same issue and the light bleeds wherever possible - no idea who would design a fan with ultra bright blue leds..

        • Fredescu on 12/12/2018 - 07:27

          I liked my first one so much that I ordered a second one, and guess what? The second one has an auto off for the light! Big improvement.

        • shavi on 12/12/2018 - 11:51

          You can turn the blue light off.
          Instructions are in the manual, but you long press one of the button (sorry can't remember which one).

        • kwetty on 14/12/2018 - 08:19

          received mine yesterday and noticed the light turns itself off after 30s or so every time you adjust a setting, perfect.

      Yes- great fan. Excellent range of speed options including quiet modes for bedroom use.

      Only issue is the overly bright control panel which you can't dim - a sticky note does the trick.

    • xev on 11/12/2018 - 19:26

      I have one of these, an excellent fan with a lot of power meaning I don't feel the need to use the Air-Con as much.

      My only complaint would be the 12-hour automatic turn-off, I find this really annoying and unnecessary, especially when you wake up on a really hot night, in a pool of sweat, and find the fan has turned itself off.

      Remember when you go to sleep to turn the fan off and then on again so you don't have this issue.

    Great product and great price. Usually $119 plus delivery. When run at low speed, they give a silent, gentle breeze. At full speed they're no louder than a normal fan, but much more powerful in my experience.

  • venusozb on 11/12/2018 - 17:25

    You can off the bright light by holding power button 5 seconds or so.

    • jan1var on 11/12/2018 - 17:59
      +4

      Yes - but not from the remote. If you're in bed and use the remote then the display reverts to full brightness.

      Dumb, dumb, dumb.

      Means you have to get out of bed, walk over to the fan and press the power button for 5 secs again to turn off the display. And then go back to bed. Which makes the remote useless for changing any setting on the fan if you want the display to remain off.

      Great fan (I have 2) but the display is really bright in a dark room.

      • Kozhutki on 11/12/2018 - 18:36

        Lol, what a strange thing to omit from the remote…

        That's an easy fix with some electrical tape.

        Or cover the screen in clear tape and then draw over it with a black marker, that should give you a permanently dim screen.

        I bought the Kogan premium dc fan in August and the backlight turns off after 30 seconds or less. Maybe they have an updated version if it didn’t do that before.

    • Fredescu on 12/12/2018 - 07:28

      The light in this version turns off automatically. I've got two and the old one is very bright and stays on. The new one turns off automatically. It's quite good.

      These are good.
      The controls are on the base and remote.

  • pantsparty on 11/12/2018 - 17:33

    Looks very similar to this model, any differences besides the brand on the grill?

    https://www.bigw.com.au/product/kambrook-40cm-dc-quiet-pedes…

    Suspect this is Kambrook rebranded as Kogan.

    • bargainpersona on 11/12/2018 - 18:38
      +2

      The Kambrook has a different body and orange lighting (instead of blue) which shuts off automatically after 30 seconds since last interaction. Maybe other things - I only have the Kambrook. That is a about as cheap as the Kambrook one gets from what I have seen.

      Not sure but they might all be rebranded Midea fans.

      • Global Nomad on 11/12/2018 - 19:06

        Interesting thanks, but now is the orange lighting (instead of blue) which shuts off automatically after 30 seconds since last interaction worth an extra $30?

        • bargainpersona on 11/12/2018 - 19:13
          +3

          I haven't seen the Kogan but the build quality seems quite good on the Kambrook.

          I thought paying the extra for something that wasn't going to irritate me was worth it. Others may feel differently.

  • zombie hunter on 11/12/2018 - 17:33

    I have one and quiet on low speed good fan

  • TheEnvelope on 11/12/2018 - 17:52

    It’s an exact rip off of the Midea FS40-12HR which is now discontinued and the first of this new technology, that used to be $240 and I have a couple of those.

    If it can even come close to competing with that one then this one is an absolute steal, have had a lot of compliments from the Midea, a few years later and it’s still going strong, no broken parts, doesn’t blow hot air, this Kogan one looks identicle in every way.
    Makes me wonder why the Midea one is discontinued :/

    • [Deactivated] on 11/12/2018 - 18:14
      +13

      doesn’t blow hot air

      It will blow whatever air is in the room?? its not an Aircon

      • Global Nomad on 11/12/2018 - 18:33

        The low wattage DC motor produces a lot less ambient heat than the standard AC type motor so at least no "extra" heat is being added to the air-stream.

        • [Deactivated] on 11/12/2018 - 18:34

          Also requires a power supply or transformer to converter AC > DC which inevitably has losses (heat).

      • TheEnvelope on 11/12/2018 - 19:44
        -5

        I’ve had fans that blew hotter air than this one, not saying it’s an aircon, just use common sense that the fan isn’t a pressure cooker.

      • customundo on 12/12/2018 - 18:14

    • supersabroso on 11/12/2018 - 20:14

      I suspect it's the same fan rebranded because when I add the Midea IR fan profile in my Xiaomi smart IR controller, it works perfectly with this fan.

  • bm on 11/12/2018 - 17:55

    Another +1 - excellent completely silent on the first 2 speeds, then speeds 3-26 it goes from $10 bunnings landfill fan to category 5 cyclone.

    • BilboBargains on 11/12/2018 - 18:21

      • bm on 11/12/2018 - 18:27

        I've no idea how or why, but this fan's 28w is like a gale, while a bunnings 28w fan is like a toddler miserably failing to blow out a birthday candle.

        • bargainpersona on 11/12/2018 - 18:45

          One reason is that DC fans are more efficient.

            +5

            @bargainpersona: Sure they may be more efficient but only because Marvel fans have more material for which to spread their enthusiasm.

              +1

              @chewbot: Efficiency does not matter to power output. Both will put out 28w of power.
              Lower efficiency will mean it wastes more power.

              Blade design on the other hand makes a big difference!

    • akyeeeahdude on 16/12/2018 - 17:40
      +2

      The $59 is not height adjustable and is quite small (805mm high) compared to the $89 model (adjustable up to 1390mm).
      Also if you check the specs, you'll see the $89 model has a larger diametre/circumference so one would assume it has a higher CFM/airflow.

      • quarkgun on 16/12/2018 - 17:51

        Thanks mate, I ended up getting the premium

  • knasty on 11/12/2018 - 18:20

    Why are DC motors more efficient when running off an AC power source? When I bought a hairdryer the better models were AC rather than DC.

    • Lief on 11/12/2018 - 19:36
      +7

      As far as i can tell an AC motor basically works by generating a rotating magnetic field which creates a moving electric charge in a squirrel cage rotor which makes use of the lorentz force to produce torque.
      This process loses a lot of electricity to heat due to the rotating magnetic field creating eddy currents in nearby conductive material.

    Bunnings at Bethania were selling Arlec DC pedestal fans similar in spec to this Kogan, also at $89 (not sure if any stock left). Similar features, 9 speed instead of 26, and the Arlec has a button on the remote to turn off the display.
