Fighting heat: TOP 5 fans

Polaris PSF 40G

The floor fan from Polaris is included in the cohort of low-cost models. It is ready to offer its owners good airflow and good build quality.

The model is equipped with an axial mechanism with a large three-bladed propeller (40 cm in diameter). It is transparent, which increases the aesthetic component when the fan blades rotate, hidden behind a protective grille. The grey-white case of the device also fits well into any interiors — from an apartment or a summer house to an office space.

The fan can operate in three different speed modes. The first speed will come in handy on a hot night, the second will help refresh a room of 12-20 square metres. m., but with the third it is advisable to be careful, because. a powerful stream of air is able to blow away all paper or similar objects in its structure. Airflow can be carried out within a radius of 180 °, thus providing air circulation throughout almost the entire room.

Fan owners point out that the power cord is too short, which limits the choice of installation location for the device. Also, plastic nozzles on the legs cause complaints — when the fan is raised, they can fall off and get lost. But the light weight of the structure allows you to transfer the device from room to room without any effort.

Pleasant design, high blowing power and low cost of Polaris PSF 40G make it an attractive option for purchase in any room. In addition, the device does not graze the rear in terms of reliability — several years of intensive summer work are given to it easily and carefree.

Supra VS-40FL

From a number of low-cost fans, the brainchild of Supra is knocked out by an atypical black colour. Thanks to this colour, the model takes on a spectacular appearance.

The style of the device is further emphasized by a fine-grained protective mesh, behind which the transparent three-lobed blades are hidden. Slots in the mesh will not allow a child to stick a finger into them and protect the blades from various small things falling into them. The propeller size is 40 cm in diameter. The direction of the air flow is set by adjusting the tilt angle of the head vertically and horizontally. In the latter case, soft clicks may occur from the head fixation mechanism.

Despite all their attractiveness, the plastic parts of the fan are not of perfect quality, which raises questions about the durability of the device. In contrast to the above, I would like to note the light weight of the entire structure (4.5 kg), which greatly simplifies moving the fan to the desired point in the room — even a fragile girl can handle this task.

The intensity of the blower is set using the mechanical keys for switching speeds. There are three operating modes to choose from — from a light puff to a strong air flow. The maximum power of the device reaches 40 watts.

The fan is focused on creating an optimal microclimate in home and office conditions (in rooms with an area of about 15 m²). With its direct tasks, he handles very well, offering good performance at an affordable cost.

Useful hack. Place a container of cold water in front of the fan — it will help to reduce the temperature in the room a little.

Saturn ST-FN8275

The Saturn ST-FN8275 fan has electronic control, which can be carried out both by switching three speed modes using the keys on the device case, and using the remote control.

The possibility of remote control of the device has a positive effect on the comfort of its operation. The remote control allows you to change the speed mode, turn the fan on or off, and set the auto-off timer without getting up from your seat. The maximum setting time for delayed shutdown is 7.5 hours (enough to blow the room at night and turn off the fan in the morning).

The body of the device rests on a wide round base, which does not raise any questions regarding the overall stability of the structure. The functionality of the model includes auto-rotation of the head and the ability to adjust the angle of its inclination. Over time, for many instances, the rotary mechanism begins to creak. Also, not all representatives of this brand are equally good build quality.

The fan blades have a typical span of 40 cm diagonally for their class. They hide behind a radial protective grille that prevents accidental entry of any objects into the moving mechanism. At maximum speed, the power of the device is 50 watts.

Among fans with extended functionality (remote control and timer) Saturn ST-FN8275 is one of the most affordable models. In addition, it has protection against overheating, which increases the level of safety during operation of the device.

Stadler Form Charly floor

The futuristic appearance of the Stadler Form Charly floor fan will delight the eye in any interior. And although the model index clearly indicates the floor orientation, the device feels good both on the windowsill and on the table.

The stylish design is complemented by reliable and durable materials: the fan housing is made of stainless steel, and the blades are also made of metal. Their span diameter is 45 cm. The blades have 3 rotation speeds — the first will provide a breath of a light breeze, the second will create a moderate airflow, and the third will be suitable for intensive air circulation. The speed control is located on the rear panel of the fan.

The tilt angle of the device is adjustable only vertically. Horizontal adjustment, as well as the possibility of head rotation, are not provided by the design. Given the small dimensions of the fan (500x460x230 mm), it will not be difficult to turn it in the right direction manually. But in terms of carrying, the device does not show itself in the best way, the reason for which is an uncomfortable and small handle on the case.

In maximum mode, the fan consumes 60 watts of power. The noise level in this case can reach 70 dB. At the minimum speed, the noise from the operation of the axial mechanism is practically inaudible, which favorably affects the possibility of operating the fan at night.

The use of metal in the design of the device has a positive effect on its durability. At the same time, the fan looks equally good in an ordinary apartment, and in a simple office, and in a room with a designer renovation.

Dyson AM07 Price from 11 999 up to 16 798 ₴ →

Each Dyson fan is a true work of design art. In addition, the products of the English brand are distinguished by an innovative principle of operation based on the use of a rotorless air circulation mechanism.

In their design, fans of this type are devoid of moving parts, which makes them safer in comparison with models based on an axial mechanism. The air flow is generated by special slots along the perimeter of the inner surface of the oval ring, which entrain the air from outside. Additionally, air is drawn in from the rear face of the ring, where a low pressure zone is created. The performance of the fan deserves high praise — not every model will be able to overtake 500 liters of air through itself in just 1 second.

To reduce the noise level in the design of the fan, a Helmholtz resonator is used (also used in the car exhaust system). Indeed, in comparison with models of similar capabilities, the device emits much less noise (64 dB at maximum speed).

The air flow at the outlet of the ring has a homogeneous and uniform structure. The degree of blowing intensity is regulated by a 10-position switch for operating modes. The change in intensity occurs smoothly with a gradual increase or decrease in power. The number of the activated mode is displayed on a small LED display on the fan housing.

It is possible to control the operation of the device through the remote control. It can also be used to set the fan off timer(15, 30, 45 min. and then at hourly intervals up to a maximum value of 9 hours). The only factor that can scare away from purchasing the device lies in its too high cost (more expensive than many models of air conditioners). But advanced technology, spectacular appearance and a high level of safety in the operation of the fan are definitely worth the money.
