Fan Shopping Tips
Fans are generally classified into different types: pedestal fans, desk fans, tower fans , wall fans, portable mini fans. Once you’ve decided on the type you need, select the item you want to buy according to the following features.

The larger the diameter of the fan blade, the higher the volume of airflow. Select a 12”-14” fan blade for a normal size room; choose 16” blade and above for a living room or a larger room. General desk fans have smaller blades of around 7”-10”. If you want to buy a compact fan, there are lots to choose from: clip typed, portable typed and even wearable typed that can be hung around your neck!

Fans often come with multi airflow settings. The larger the number of fan blades, the softer the breeze. There are also fans with unique blade designs that offer variations in wind direction and airflow volume. Check these features out before you make a purchase.
3. Wireless Remote Control

Low Noise / Quiet
The noise generated by a DC fan is much lower than a general fan. However, the stronger the airflow, the louder the noise of the motor, and the higher the number of blades, the less noise caused by airflow. Fans with a general noise level below 45dB are suitable for indoor use. If you need to choose a fan for your bedroom, check to see if the product has a quiet mode.
Cooling and Heating
- Cool & Heat Fan -
Many households now install air conditioners that offer both cool and warm air all year round for more convenience. But what if you wish to save more on your electricity bills and want a product that you can use in any season? Why not consider a cooling and heating fan that offers cool air and can also keep you warm?
Energy Saving
You probably need to have the fan on almost all year round to get rid of the humidity and heat in Hong Kong. Long-term use means consuming more power and therefore energy efficiency is an important factor to consider. Due to different motor designs, a Direct Current (DC) fan has better conversion efficiency, and generates less heat during operation. It can save up to 60% on power compared with a traditional Alternating Current (AC) fan.
