12 best home fans according to the owners

Despite all the objective severity of Russian winters, the summer heat in mid-latitudes is a phenomenon far from rare. And if there is no air conditioning in the house, a domestic fan can serve as a compromise from the category of “cheap and cheerful”. Despite the apparent simplicity and simplicity, the fans can be very different in quality, ease of use, functionality and, of course, price. Expertex Exper.com has identified 12 models as a result of careful monitoring of the market, which we will consider as part of this review.

What company fan to buy

First, we will deal with trademarks, manufacturers and the “birthplace” of equipment of a particular brand, since the combination of all these factors will tell you a lot about the technology itself and the validity of pricing.

1. Tefal is a very well-known French brand on the Russian market. Under this name, high-quality dishes, household appliances and accessories are produced. Manufacture is adjusted in the France, China and even partly in the Russian Federation.

2. AEG is a brand with more than a century of history. It was originally 100% German company (Allgemeine Elektricitäts-Gesellschaft), but in the second half of the last century, as a result of mergers and acquisitions, AEG began to belong to two large holding companies at once - the Swedish Electrolux Group and the German Clatronic Group. Specifically, the fans produces the company ETV. Production facilities are scattered around the world, but everything that is supplied to Russia is made in China.

3. Timberk is an international group of companies with headquarters in Israel. There are more units in China (separately in Hong Kong), Russia and Finland. Production bases of the holding are in many countries of the world, including Russia.

4. Dyson is a very unusual brand, as it is not the brainchild of multinational corporations, but belongs to one single person - the British inventor James Dyson. The company specializes in fans, hair dryers, dryers and vacuum cleaners with a non-standard principle of operation. Products awarded many international awards. Produced goods in Malaysia.

5. LUMME is a Russian trademark owned by Stingray (St. Petersburg). It is a manufacturer of inexpensive dishes and small household appliances. Production is delivered across Russia and the CIS countries.

6. BIMATEK is the first private label (private label) of the Technopark retail network, namely, its founder Maxim Biryulin. The name of the label is made up of the merger of the words "Biryulin-Maxim-Technika" Initially, the products were positioned as a budget segment, then it was decided to slightly raise the status, closer to the middle segment. Produced in China.

7. BORK is a very famous Russian trademark, which for a long time was considered a frank "brand-werewolf" because of the German style. But, oddly enough, for many years the BORK technique deserved mostly only positive reviews, and is now positioned as a premium class. Belongs to the same Technopark. Fans are manufactured in Vietnam by OEM / ODM manufacturers.

8. VES is a Russian brand of low-cost household appliances. Also under this brand produced equipment "for health and beauty." No exceptional label is not remarkable, just a good combination of affordable prices and acceptable quality. Produced in China.

9. Maxwell is a common and well-known Russian trademark. It belongs to the group of companies Golder Electronics. This holding also owns the most common (Gallup Media research) in Russia VITEK trademark. Belongs to the lower price category. Produced in China.

10. SCARLETT is another Russian brand, which has long been firmly settled in the minds of our compatriots. In 2012, the manufacturer received the distinction "Product of the Year" precisely for the fans. Products are manufactured at Chinese factories on a contract basis.

Best cheap floor fans

We proceed directly to the rating, and we will begin with the fact that the average consumer is most interested in, according to the conclusions of our experts. Speech about the most inexpensive home type floor fans. expert.bigbadmole.com/en/ experts have identified three optimal models in this category: Scarlett SC-1370, Maxwell MW-3508 and Lumme LU-105. All of them are equipped with an axial operating mechanism. This is the most ascetic models with a minimum of options.

Scarlett SC-1370

Rating: 4.7

This model very well copes with its immediate responsibilities (creating an air strike), moreover, it consumes only 35 watts of electricity. The construction and mechanically implemented functions of rotation within 90 degrees and a tilt of 30 degrees.

The diameter of the "span" of the blades is 30 cm, the tripod is easily adjustable in height. Scarlett SC-1370 dimensions are 35x100x21 cm, and weight - 1.95 kg.

According to user reviews, this model, being assembled and in working condition, effectively blows, stands firmly on the crosspiece, does not falter and does not emit extraneous sounds. But certain problems are observed at the assembly stage. Another disadvantage, which many note - the maximum height of just 1 meter.

Prices: 994 - 2090 rubles.

Maxwell MW-3508

Rating: 4.6

The Maxwell MW-3508 fan is slightly more powerful than the previous model - 45 W, and this is already expressed in the presence of three blowing modes at once. Maximum really impressive air strike. But here the problem immediately looms - a perceptible annoying noise. In addition, the weakest mode is for most users not so weak, and buyers are unanimous in the opinion that the minimum mode should be weaker than two times.

The diameter of the blades of this model is also slightly larger than that of the Scarlett SC-1370 - 40 cm. The angle of rotation is 90 degrees. The fan is easily adjustable in height.

In general, the unit is slightly more high-tech than models of the same class due to electronic control through the remote control, the presence of a timer, thermometer and display.

The design itself looks and feels quite solid, and weighs as much as 4 kg. But precisely here lies the engineering flaw. Due to the lack of space for fixing the rod and the large weight of the fan case itself (relative to the rack), part of the case retainer cracks quite quickly. There is no possibility to fix the fan housing itself on the rod. There are also difficulties in assembling - it is very difficult to fix the protective grid, then coordinated actions of two people will be needed.

Prices: 1795 - 2390 rubles.

Lumme LU-105

Rating: 4.5

The most inexpensive fan version of working models is the Lumme LU-105. Affordable price - the first thing that buyers note as a plus.

Otherwise, this model also looks pretty good. Power consumption of 45 watts provides three speeds (speed adjustment). There are functions of tilt and turn. The maximum angle of rotation is the “usual” 90 degrees.

The diameter of the Lumme LU-105 blades is 40 cm, and the mechanism is adjustable in height to 1.25 meters.

In general, users hardly complain about this model, but the complaints are caused by too “tender” legs, where the manufacturer obviously saved a lot on metal. Also, many do not like the wobbly fastener protective cover. But Lumme LU-105 provides excellent airflow with acceptable noise, and this is important.

Prices: 918 - 990 rubles.

The best floor fans with remote control

Now we turn to the top three best fan models, in which the presence of a remote control is a prerequisite. Our experts considered the most worthy options to be the French Tefal VF5550F0 Turbo Silence and the Russian VITEK VT-1909 CH and Bimatek SF 302.

VITEK VT-1909 CH

Rating: 4.9

Fan VITEK VT-1909 CH with an axial operating mechanism consumes 60 watts of electricity. This is significantly more than even the most "voracious" budget models described above. However, this energy consumption is understandable - the fan creates an impressive air strike - as much as 6 meters. True, some particularly picky users argue that this figure is somewhat overestimated. But even if so, the embellishment is not too dramatic.

In this model, rather large blades are 42 cm in diameter, all the necessary turns and inclinations are realized. You can choose three speed options by step adjustment. The control itself is electronic, it can be carried out by means of a remote control. From high-tech "amenities" you can also select a timer for 7.5 hours.

Many buyers are very positive about the pulse mode, which has been comfortable for most. Unlike the top three low-end models, VITEK VT-1909 CH did not meet any complaints about the complexity of the assembly.

Prices: 2542 - 3390 rubles.

Tefal VF5550F0 Turbo Silence

Rating: 4.8

Fan Tefal VF5550F0 Turbo Silence - a good example of technology, to which the word "consumer goods" is completely inapplicable. Already the first minutes of interaction are enough to recognize the high quality of the assembly and the materials themselves. Almost all buyers agree in this.

The unit is powerful enough - as much as 70 W, and this consumption is due to the need to provide enhanced Turbo Boost mode. And here lies some ambiguity about the noise of this model. Opinions of users are divided into completely polar: some argue that the fan is exhaustingly noisy, others assure that it is “almost inaudible”. To exclude subjectivity, our experts draw attention to the characteristic declared by the manufacturer itself - 50 decibels. This, of course, is not a siren, but not a “rustling of leaves,” as particularly poetic users can write in reviews. For comparison, this is about the noise level of a typewriter or a distinct conversation in a room of two people.And the upper limit of the norm for class A office premises according to European standards is 55 decibels. Here you need to draw conclusions yourself.

The rest of the fan is solid, reliable and durable. There are all the functions of rotation, though they are regulated only mechanically, and not with the remote. Warranty from manufacturer for 2 years.

Prices: 4880 - 6999 rubles.

Bimatek SF 302

Rating: 4.7

The Bimatek SF 302 fan of the Russian brand and Chinese assembly is a very ambiguous model, since it has serious drawbacks, but no less serious advantages force it to be included in the review.

Let's start with the main thing - in this model, the rotation adjustment of the “head” is performed from the console. That is, this model is not “sick” with what is characteristic of the two previous solutions, in which the console is useless for this purpose. This is a big plus, which is noted by many buyers.

What else is good is an air strike on an honest 5 meters, which is provided by blades 40 cm in diameter and power consumption of 50 watts. There are three speeds, and I must say, in Bimatek SF 302 there is the same problem as in the budget model Maxwell MW-3508 - the minimum mode is too strong. Users describe the problem with the words "I would like another division to the bottom." And here it is difficult to doubt bias, since there are really a lot of similar reviews.

Pleases the presence of a timer with a shutdown delay and airflow distribution function. Height adjustment is, works reliably. The whole structure weighs as much as 5 kg and has dimensions of 64.5x150x50 cm.

It is impossible not to mention the rather dubious quality of materials and careless assembly, which, in sum, has a very sad effect on durability. Given the tangible flaws, we can say that the price of the model is significantly overestimated.

Prices: 3289 - 3990 rub.

The best radial floor fans

Now consider two models of fans based on a different technological principle. Here you will not see the blades, as in the “Carlsons” described above. Instead, air flow is generated due to the centrifugal force from the rotation of the inner rotor. Consider two interesting models: VITEK VT-1933 and AEG T-VL 5537.

VITEK VT-1933

Rating: 4.8

The radial fan VITEK VT-1933 is a product of a Russian brand and Chinese assembly. Made in a column form factor with a floor installation.

The device has an exceptional power and the corresponding power consumption - as much as 120 W, which is on average twice as large as all the previous models described.

Implemented the function of turning the air jet with an angle of 90 degrees. Equipped with a timer with a delay of 8 hours and a remote control. The latter works excellently in tandem with a signal receiver - users mark the “completion” of a signal at long distances from neighboring rooms and from a balcony through a window.

A total of three speeds are available with stepwise adjustment, and users' complaints about loud noise when choosing the maximum speed are already noted. However, other users have noticed that redirecting the jet upwards completely solves the problem.

Another obvious drawback is the low quality of the plastic, as well as not the most outstanding density of fitting of the body parts. The monoblock form factor does not allow you to adjust the flow level in height.

Prices: 4834 - 6490 rubles.

AEG T-VL 5537

Rating: 4.7

The German radial AEG T-VL 5537 fan of columned type with floor installation is made in China. Users unanimously appreciate the stylish design in the high-tech style, although they notice that the metal parts of the body perform an exclusively decorative function.

The device is quite economical - the power consumption is only 40 watts. Implemented jet rotation function. The angle is small - 75 degrees, but for a radial fan this is quite good. Three speeds of rotation of a rotor with step adjustment. There is a timer with a shutdown delay of up to 8 hours and a remote control. Dimensions of the device are 32x120x32 cm.

Users also appreciate this model for compactness - you can put in any angle, even with a shortage of free space. Also AEG T-VL 5537 has low noise. The manufacturer claims 25 decibels, and according to customer reviews, you can judge that the characteristic is quite fair.

Prices: 6399 - 9790 rubles.

Best fanless fan

Now we will pay attention to such a miracle of technology, like a fanless fan. In this category, our experts have identified only one decent model. Despite the price that is quite unaffordable for many, the Dyson AM06 25 is definitely worthy of respect.

Dyson AM06 25

Rating: 4.9

The fan of the British brand Dyson AM06 25 is produced in Vietnam. This is a high-tech device that, in addition to the very non-standard principle of operation, is also interesting with additional functions and capabilities.

The fan is positioned by the manufacturer as a tabletop, but an air strike of “fair” 3 meters indicates that it can serve a small room. And this is confirmed by the users themselves.

In this model, the function of rotation with an angle of 70 degrees and tilt. There is a timer with sleep mode for as much as 9 hours. Speed ​​options as much as 10, and with a smooth adjustment. Electronic control, complete with remote control with built-in magnet for easy storage. There is no height adjustment, but for the desktop model it is actually not needed - it is compensated by the slope.

The device dimensions are 55.2x30.6x10 cm, and weight is 1.8 kg. The diameter of the head part is 25 cm. The fan is energy efficient enough - it consumes only 26 W, moreover, the air flow is more than decent - 320 l / s.

Against the background of all this magnificence, the rather high level of noise is a little upset - 56 dB. As for the price, it is already frustrating. Dyson AM06 25 - this is definitely the kind of technology, which owners are not ashamed to say the phrase: "I can afford."

Prices: 22990 rub.

Top table fans

From the desktop model Dyson AM06 25, we smoothly move to a whole top three compact fans for the workplace. Here specialists expert.bigbadmole.com/en/ liked models BORK P510, Timberk TEF T12 TH3 and Ves VD-302.

BORK P510

Rating: 4.8

The BORK P510 fan with an axial working mechanism produces an air strike for a distance of 2 meters with a very modest power consumption of 14 watts. The efficiency of the blowing adds planetary rotation of the blades.

This model, like most of the equipment of the Russian brand BORK, has an exceptional build quality - almost all users recognize this. The metal case of stainless steel already inspires confidence, plus a pleasant weight adds stability to the device.Its dimensions are 16.5x22x22.5 cm.

In BORK P510 implemented two speeds of rotation of the blades. Adjustment is carried out mechanically. The diameter of the blades is 15 cm, tilt function is supported.

The good user experience of the planetary rotation of the blades is somewhat overshadowed by frequent complaints of extraneous sounds, which the mechanism emits when the angles of rotation change. The problem does not occur to everyone, but it is not an isolated case, which indicates a probable engineering flaw.

This model is covered by a 2 year warranty from the manufacturer.

Timberk TEF T12 TH3

Rating: 4.7

The Timberk TEF T12 TH3 fan stands out from other desktop models with a special “airy” design. Last but not least here is the lack of a protective grid. And there is no it because of the safety of the blades themselves - they are made of soft material. This original solution automatically creates safety for children. Included are blades of different colors (gray, orange, blue). The device weighs 2.6 kg.

Another remarkable quality of this model is the ability to work offline without connecting to the network. Independent work time is up to two hours. Power consumption is minimal - only 15 watts.

The fan supports rotation within 90 degrees. You can switch between two speeds of rotation of the blades. Control is carried out mechanically. You can stop the rotation in one touch (Finger Touch technology).

Prices: 1690 - 3175 rubles.

Ves VD-302

Rating: 4.6

Desktop blade fan Ves VD-302, according to manufacturers, is able to efficiently serve an area of ​​up to 5 square meters. meters Implemented auto-rotate function and tilt angle adjustment. The diameter of the blades is 35 cm. Controlled by mechanical buttons. The device weighs 2 kg.

In this model, there are three speeds of rotation of the blades, but users notice that between the 2nd and 3rd speeds the difference is minimal. But there is an obvious advantage - very quiet operation, even at maximum power.

Of the minuses, we can still mention the noticeably low quality of the plastic housing. This is typical for Ves, which is openly positioned as cheap. Also, many users found the 1.2 meter power cord too short.

Prices: 990 - 2020 rub.

Which home fan to choose

Now we summarize the conclusions of our experts, observations of real users and official characteristics declared by manufacturers.

1. Of the budget floor fans, the Scarlett SC-1370 and Lumme LU-105 are approximately equivalent, with the only difference that the Scarlett will be significantly more expensive. With Maxwell MW-3508 all is not easy. On the one hand, there is a big advantage - the remote control. But on the other hand, there are too many complaints that the design is literally “falling apart before our eyes.”

2. Of the three models with remote controls, the Tefal VF5550F0 Turbo Silence is clearly in the first place, even though this model is significantly more expensive than the other two. Reliability and build quality here at the level. The only thing - with the purchase you will need to personally verify the acceptability of the noise level in different modes. If the minimum price is important, then VITEK VT-1909 CH is perfect. This model has drawbacks, but it is at least two times cheaper.

3. Of the two models of radial fans presented, we can advise VITEK VT-1933 if maximum power is critical to you. But be prepared for tangible noise. If, on the contrary, the noise is very undesirable, take the AEG T-VL 5537.But if you plan to install a fan in the far corner, then the VITEK VT-1933 will be better, thanks to the excellent interaction of the remote control and the receiver. AEG T-VL 5537 is much weaker in this respect.

4. As for the fanless Dyson AM06 25 fan, no comments are needed here. Of course, this is an excellent example of high-quality, useful, high-tech equipment. But not everyone will be ready to pay such a sum for a table fan.

5. If you still need a table fan, we recommend that you look at the BORK P510 model. It is a powerful, reliable device with all the necessary functions without unnecessary excesses. For true aesthetes, Timberk TEF T12 TH3 is a beautiful, original and quite functional model. Ves VD-302 is suitable only if you want to save. Otherwise, this model loses significantly to the other two.
