        • ozhunter68 on 11/12/2018 - 21:07

          You might need to clarify which is "this one" as recent comments are about the one from Kogan and Bunnings.

          The bit where "BilboBargains" said "I will drop in and grab one" gave it away lol.

      • OhNoUShiz on 12/12/2018 - 14:02

      so that arlec one is comparable?

      • ash2000 on 11/12/2018 - 22:55

        I've seen an assembled one in bunnings and it's build quality is very poor compared to the kogan / kambrook.

        • PinzVidz on 12/12/2018 - 02:37
          +2

          I wouldn't say the build quality is poor, more average. It's a fairly solid unit with a reasonably heavy base. The front cage is held on with a strap as opposed to clamps and is a pain in the arse to get fitted properly. It runs nice and quiet at low speeds, with no rattles or abnormal noise at any speed.

          The display is a horrible mish-mash of fan speed (blue LED number segment), power (bright or dim red icon for off/on), mode (blue icon), and then lights behind each of the buttons (blue LED), which seem to be overkill as the aforementioned icons already tell you if it's on/off etc. In fact the buttons when lit light up the whole casing rather than just the button itself, and looks really cheap. Also, the noise emitter that sounds each time you make a speed change or turning off/on needs smashing with a hammer.

      And sadly, even these fans don't work during summer blackouts, which is what Victorians are being warned about today.

        If everyone bought one of these instead of blasting a 3kwh+ Air con during killer days there would be no blackouts, infact i dare say we'd lower power prices by a few % and pay for the fan itself.

    I must be the only person on the planet who prefers a loud fan at night time. I like my fan drowning out other noises when I am in bed.

    Quiet fans are great for the living area though. Just concerned 28w wouldnt be powerful enough to feel in my living room.

    How do these compare to high velocity fans? The fan I am looking to replace is a 140w high velocity fan. Hard to imagine these come close yet reviews seem to rate this very highly. Just not sure what that's in comparison to.

        Thats the one I have which is too noisy for my living room. Ever since getting my first high velocity fan ($15 clearance one from Masters) I have gone for these types of fans. But I was upgrading from $12 kmart fans.

        Of I could match (or exceed) the airflow with a quieter fan thst would be great.

    • spaceflight on 11/12/2018 - 20:58

      You're trying to compare input wattage to output across different units, you can't without more information

      Between the 28/140w power draw there's a motor and other electronics plus different designed fan blades that move air differently.

      Just because the high velocity fan draws 140 watts does not mean it's better than a lower wattage fan.

  • dufflover on 11/12/2018 - 19:07

    I rigged up a "silent fan" for myself by rigging up 2x2 surplus computer case fans together (120mm Scythe case fans) and hooking them up to a variable voltage 12V DC supply. It obviously doesn't move super amounts of air but enough to move air around on a warm night to be able to sleep while still being pretty quiet (I'm a very light sleeper, unfortunately). I'm surprised at these review comments above about it actually being a lot more quiet than a stock cheapie pedestal fan that it looks exactly like.

    Asking seriously here; for those who have quiet case fans like Noctua able to give some feedback on what sort of noise-airflow are we talking with this?
    I know bigger fans are more efficient obviously but is there $90 difference?

        I have. I also know there are lot of different standards of what people consider quiet. I've bought "quiet" fans, or "quiet" watercooling systems which were anything but.

        I know the question is a long shot, but it's a specific comparison - at least there's a benchmark other product to compare against.

        I can read thanks … can you?

        • Maverick-au on 11/12/2018 - 19:32

          can read thanks … can you?

          Why be so rude, these fans are silent and dozens if not hundreds of people have confirmed this.

        • bm on 11/12/2018 - 19:33
          +7

          OK, I'm really sorry if I misjudged your genuine question.

          If you have one of the junk $10-$20 fans from bunnings, this fan on its lowest setting blows more air than the junk fan, but it's inaudiable.

          The junk fan has a 100hz hum since it's an AC induction motor. It's less efficient but when you're only talking 20 watts, it's not the end of the world and it'll take many years to break even.

          But at setting 3 or 4 (of 26), it's about as powerful as the junk fan at full speed, and at setting 3, the wind noise only becomes minisculy audible. Speed 1 and 2 are inaudible for me. I can hear the hum of the SMPS in the plasma TV on the wall over the fan.

          I don't know how that compares to you since I don't watercool or overclock so hopefully it's useful. Good luck.

        • CH on 12/12/2018 - 16:16

          I have one of these fans, it's absolutely dead silent on only the lowest of the 26 speeds (ie: 1) but still moves a lot more air than two quiet computer fans, speed setting 2 is just audible.

    • Maverick-au on 11/12/2018 - 19:27

      Why are you surprised that this fan with an efficient DC motor and blades is quieter than a $10 cheapie? Especially when you were just saying you were using more efficient pc fans with better blades to cool silently!

      • dufflover on 11/12/2018 - 19:33
        +1

        It's usually not the motor (esp just saying it's AC vs DC) but things like the bearings. Similarly if it's only quieter purely because you can adjust the speed that is also not really related to the motor.
        To put it another way, what if it's only quieter than most because you can ramp the speed down lower than just 3 pre-set buttons? I'm not knocking the product or price at all, but it does give a good comparison to other fans or set ups like this.

        • Maverick-au on 11/12/2018 - 19:38
          +3

          I'm sitting in the lounge with the fan on normal 01 (out of 26) and it's great. Plenty of air and I can't hear it with tv on and with the tv muted I can barely hear it. On the lower of the 9 silent settings below they can't be heard in a bedroom at night no matter how hard you try.

          The motor is more efficient, the blades are more efficient and it has over 36 speeds.

  • rossi on 11/12/2018 - 19:43

    I have a couple of questions for anyone who has one of these already:
    Does it save its settings when powered off? I want to use it with a smart plug so need to it to continue where it left off when the power is restarted to it.
    Approximately what size is the base?

    • WindowsXP on 11/12/2018 - 19:47

      If you cut the power, it won’t turn back on, it’ll stay in standby.

    • Vavoom on 11/12/2018 - 21:22

      It does not save settings. It always starts at "normal operation" 10 speed. I usually turn it on and then immediately dial it down to "quiet operation" 4 speed.

  • Mouthsmasher on 11/12/2018 - 19:57

    I have two of these fans. I highly recommend it purely based on the silent fan modes alone. You get a very nice breeze going and basically no noise. As others have said, the only downside is the extremely bright blue LCD display however I covered mine with red cellophane tape.

      can vouch for it. Quality built and quiet.

    I have this fan, bought it last summer and also bought similar fan from MYERS (Kambrook 40cm Pedestal Fan with DC Motor: White: KPF849WHT40cm) you'd be mistaken for thinking the more expensive and brand name Kambrook would be a better fan, but it's not, the remote sucks as it requires perfect direction to work and assembly it no where as good as the Kogan (yes I was shocked) now the kids both fight over who gets what fan in thier room as the both prefer the Kogan, just like I do, when it's on sale like this it really is great value, it's so much better quality than those $15 Target,Kmart cheap crap that eventually fall over when the feet bend and fan power is lame. Go the Kogan it's a proven winner, solid, powerful, great remote control response, quality look and you can turn off the annoying lights if you choose.

    • tlai on 15/12/2018 - 01:20

    Would the high speed setting be considered as powerful as other "high velocity" fans around? That is would it push air well around a large room (open plan kitchen/living room)?
    Also, is the high speed setting considered quieter than others as well or is it just the low setting?

    Thanks anyone who can help answer!

    You know how lots of people think their smartphones are listening to them and then offering tailored ads based on conversations? Sometimes I think this place has the same tech. This is exactly what I need at exactly the right time.

    Now get out of my head
