![]() Three speed settings, rotates for better room airflow, attractive price. div> No significant deficiencies found. span> | Bimatek FF-300 belongs to the type of so-called desktop fans. Usually, such fans are used for airing the workplace in the office, as well as for installation on a computer or coffee table at home. In most cases, such models are capable of effective ventilation at short distances up to several metres. Models designed for installation on a table most often have an axial mechanism of operation. Air circulation in this design is provided by the rotation of the blades. This is one of the simplest and most inexpensive, but at the same time less safe mechanisms, since the protective grilles are not always well-fitted and there is a chance, albeit a meager one, to touch the working blades. Bimatek FF-300 is no exception — the model is equipped with three large (as for desktop fans) blades with a diameter of 30 cm. At the same time, the model is quite compact — its dimensions are 420x350x230 mm, and its weight is 3 kg. Bimatek FF- 300 has three high-speed modes of operation: select the intensity of blowing depending on the "climate" in the room. It is worth noting the presence in the model of a rotary system, which allows you to increase the ventilated area by changing the direction of the air flow. In addition, it is possible to adjust the angle of the air jet from the fan vertically so that its operation is efficient, but does not interfere with people in the room. |
![]() Three airflow modes, three blade speeds, remote control, timer.< /div> Low airflow, noisy. | Wall fans such as Timberk TEF W16 WM2 are equipped with special accessories for wall mounting. Usually, wall fans have more power than desktop models, as well as longer blades. This makes it possible to use them for cooling small spaces — bathrooms, dressing rooms or small rooms. Due to the possibility of mounting on the wall, they do not require free space on the furniture. This approach allows you to save space in the room, and sometimes this is the only option for installing a fan. Timberk TEF W16 WM2 is equipped with an axial mechanism with three large blades with a diameter of 40 cm, covered with a front mesh grille, which is removed for cleaning. The model has three different speed modes. In addition, there are several separate blowing modes — manual, medium wind and sleep wind. With such a variety of functions, the model has a significant minus. The propeller and blades are made of soft plastic, due to which the Timberk TEF W16 WM2 loses in airflow intensity to fans with the same power. The device is controlled via the remote control, which is convenient, since there is no need to reach out each time to turn it on and switching operating modes to a fan suspended on the wall. It is possible to adjust the angle of inclination of the air flow vertically, as well as the automatic rotation function, which allows you to ventilate a larger space. Another feature of the model is the presence of a timer. This makes it possible to automatically turn off the fan after a certain time. The maximum timer setting time is 7.5 hours. |
![]() Humidifier, high power, three speed settings, remote control, timer. Inconvenient water tank design , more power requires more energy. | This model from a well-known manufacturer of household appliances stands out among analogues because it has a variety of functions. AEG VL 5569 S LB is a type of fan designed for floor installation. Usually, these are rather bulky models with a height of at least a metre with large blades and increased power. Such characteristics make it possible to use floor fans to ventilate even large rooms . AEG has high power (80 W) and large blades (40 cm diameter). Thanks to this, the device is able to effectively ventilate the whole room in one of three speed modes and with the ability to adjust the vertical angle of the air flow. The model also has a built-in timer to automatically turn off the device (it can be set for a period of 0.5 to 7.5 hours). And the remote control allows you to control the fan from a distance, which is typical for modern models of medium and high class. The main highlight of the AEG VL 5569 S LB is the presence of a humidifier. With its help, even in the summer heat there will be a comfortable microclimate. When the fan is running, steam is supplied to the blades, which carry it around the room with an air stream. In this case, the humidifier can also work separately from the fan (but its efficiency will be lower). There are three modes with different spraying intensity. The water tank has a volume of 3 liters and is enough for 15 hours of operation. It has a not very convenient design: the valve is located at the bottom of the bowl, and to fill it you need to turn it upside down. On the other hand, for more effective cooling, ice can be added to the tank along with water. In addition, the humidifier can be used as an aroma lamp by adding a few drops of perfume or fragrance to the water. |
![]() Three speed settings, remote control, timer, rotates for better airflow, metal and plastic body , attractive design. No flaws. | The Bork P600 is a column type floor tower fan. The power of the model is 40 W, which is enough to cool medium-sized rooms. The main distinguishing feature of the Bork P600 from other review fans is its design. The model has a radial mechanism — it is a paddle wheel hidden in a protective casing. The radial mechanism is considered better than the axial one, because in addition to the cooling efficiency, it is much safer and also ensures the almost silent operation of the fan. The Bork P600 fan is made of a combination of metal and plastic. This gives it an elegant look and allows you to harmoniously fit the device into a modern interior. In addition, this case design makes it more reliable. However, it didn't do without a "fly in the ointment" — the metal makes the already bulky (1220x320x320 mm) fan also quite heavy. Its weight is 5.4 kg. Like many axial fans, this model has three speed modes. It is worth noting that the device has an “air blow” function — the fan automatically adjusts the degree of airflow, from a strong gust of wind to a softer and lighter one. The fan rotates 80° to ventilate the room more efficiently. And managing it greatly simplifies the remote control that comes with the device. Also note that the model is equipped with a built-in timer. It can be set to automatically turn off the device after 2, 4 and 8 hours. This manufacturer also has an even more functional model — Bork P602 with a built-in battery that works up to 10 hours without being connected to a power outlet. This means that it can be installed anywhere, and it will work even when the electricity is turned off. |
![]() Innovative working principle, ten speed settings, stepless speed adjustment, rotates when working, attractive design with three colours. < span>High price. | The Dyson AM06 is another desktop fan in the review. However, unlike the Bimatek FF-300 described earlier, this is not a low-cost option at all, but a very expensive device. And externally, the models are strikingly different — Dyson AM06 has an elegant and original design and will become an interior decoration both in an apartment and in an office room. This device is fundamentally different from inexpensive desktop fans, most often operating on an axial mechanism with blades, its design. This rotorless fan, which is a ring on a stand, inside the cavity of which air circulates during operation of the device. Special slots have been made in it, thanks to which the air inside involves the movement of the one outside. This creates a smooth, uniform air flow. This fan mechanism is completely safe due to the absence of rotating blades, and it takes less than a minute to remove dust from it. The Dyson AM06 has ten different speed modes with smooth switching between them. There is a tilt option to adjust the airflow vertically, as well as an automatic 360° swivel function. There is also a timer for automatic shutdown, which is designed for a period of 15 minutes to 9 hours. Commands are given to the device using the remote control. It is worth noting that the Dyson AM06 model is quite compact — 552x306x100 mm, which allows it to be placed even on a small table a>. The weight of the device is also small — only 1.83 kg. And the case can have a white, silver or blue colour. So it's a good option for the boss's office or kids' bedroom, but quite expensive. |
