It's for surviving the summer for both me and the dog. had a browse of the TGG website,
most of them don't list watts/hr. The one that does says 100 watts motor (the GVA 40cm) which is quite a lot.
I have an aircon but would like to use it less. Trying to avoid pedestal fans because I sleep on a mattress on the floor and the wind doesn't reach! On most days I keep the fan on 24/7 so its power draw is a big concern.
any tips much appreciated
battery operated fans … provide airflow you need!
No.
Why?
If you can get a ceiling fan it would be much better. The air circulated much better than any fans.
i thought about ceiling fans, but unfortunately some space restrictions and the Vive means it's not a possibility :<
thx for the suggestion though
Have you tried pointing your pedestal fan right into the corner of the room near your mattress, slightly angled up or down at full speed (while it oscillates)?
I do this when I don't like the harshness blowing onto me directly when I'm trying to sleep and the air seems to circulate better around the room.
100W is a ludicrous amount of input power for a 40cm fan.
Idiots buy things based on numbers like input power of course hence we have 1000W blenders.
I was told by the blender salesman that the input power of the blender I bought was 1,000,000mWatts!!! kick ass!!!!!!!!
Did find this model the "Omega Altise 40cm Chrome High Velocity Floor Fan
OHV40C"
manufacturer's website says it is 60W motor. this fits my bill
20% off with code CGOOD20.
nice timing http://www.ebay.com.au/itm/NEW-Omega-Altise-OHV40C-40cm-Chro…
Bunnings have battery operated fans such as ryobi model. Whilst admit not the size you are looking for, it may be cheap to run and provide airflow you need!
