Are DC fans actually quieter than normal fans? or does the quietness come from it not moving as much air?
Most of the quietness comes from being able to go slower than level 1 of an AC fan.
Great for the bedroom at night, or a study during the day etc.
Also good as I've always found level 1 too fast for sleeping anyway
It is still slightly quieter at similar speeds to an AC fan, but it's negligible at that point.
I have couple different DC and cheap AC fans, DC fans generally quieter because
1 it can run very low speed, sometimes near silent
2 most DC fans has better build quality, better quality fan blades and casing. Usually quieter at the same speed but still can be loud when turn it up.
Are DC fans available as a wall mount version?
thanks for your review.
Great comprehensive review. You raised a lot of good points and useful observations. That's my review of your review.
haha thanks damfrog
Bought one for about $50 long time ago. This one is much better than the Viomi Smart Fan.
It's in a different class. The build quality shits all over the viomi fan
Anyone know if you can turn the LED display off on this fan? I'm a pretty delicate sleeper
The led turns itself off after about 10-20 seconds.
Thanks, ordered one. Got the Viomi fan from Aldi last week but couldn't resist getting this one as well.
How does this compare to the Kambrook DC fans? … And what happened to them? Seemed to have vanished. Those were/are pretty good
can this fan be added to google home?
I doubt it. This fan is not a smart fan (it does not connect to any apps).
A very quiet and good fan.
I have been using both the basic Kogan fan and this premium fan. Only thing I would complain about this premium model is users cannot switch to a particular speed level (12 in total) instantly, as you can only switch to the next level up. This is a bit annoying as I almost always only use level 1-4 as level 5-12 is too much to me. It’s annoying having to skip level 5-12 every time I want to switch from level 4 to 1.
I also wish there were more height options.
But overall a very good value fan to me. Has all features I want (e.g sleep, quietness etc). I bought it at $69.99 back in early 2020.
I have the cheapo 40cm fan from Kmart currently, and I’m trying to figure out how much more powerful this one would be but I’m absolutely failing
This or the Xiaomi Smartmi Fan 3? Its available for $179 from Kogan. https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/xiaomi-smartmi-pedestal-fan-3-x…
I liked the 20 hour battery aspect.
The Smartmi fan is great, has a built in thermostat that you can use for automations overnight. ie. if temp exceeds 22 degrees, turn on etc.
The battery aspect was exciting, but I'll be honest, I haven't used it once.
Sweet ordered.
I received this fan. Unfortunately, it looks like the fan blade lock nut could not be removed at all. Kogan has sent a faulty one. Has this happened to anyone else?
@Utsav23: Mine arrived last week and it seems fine to me. Did you get in touch with Kogan? I did notice the plug point is EU and not AU based.
Highly recommend this fan, had it for 2.5years.
