Best Standalone Fans

NOISY NOISY NOISY. Not sure about circulating air. Overpriced. Ridiculously difficult to clean.

Faulty product - no accountability – Less than a year the product has started paint has started to wear away on fan. Dyson refused to fix or repair as it was “cosmetic damage” only. This… Read more

goes against ACCC standards of acceptable quality. Would not purchase another Dyson product as they are cheaply made and don’t follow ACCC standards.

Just right! – What a brilliant design, an amazing fan. Works beautifully and professionally. So compact in every way.

It works well even on a low speed, does not generate a lot of noise even at high speed! I am very happy the with this item overall! If I could change… Read more

one thing it would be that the oscillation you could choose side to side or up and down not having to have them both at the same time. ... and maybe it could taller, it looks a little dwarfed beside my TV stand ;0

fantastic super quite very happy with purchase thank you so much Show details

Worth the money for the long term! – I've got the DC model and had it 4 months, it's been on almost 24 hours a day in that time as I live in a small place and it's more quiet than my… Read more

handheld fan operating at 60-70%. It does provide a breeze, pretty happy with it, the DC model is power efficient too

It's great until it isn't a month later – To begin with this was amazing. Cleared the smoke drift coming from the considerate chain smoking neighbour who enjoys her hobby of smoking on the… Read more

balcony in between naps so the smoke is almost constant and permeates my apartment. This fan was a lifesaver until it wasn't. It's been on all night and I can unfortunately still smell smoke much like a normal fan you could buy for 40 so it hasn't been effective and it's air purifying qualities lasted less than a month which isn't ideal for the exorbitant price point. Glad I got this on sale. Imagine paying full price for a filter that only lasts a month!

I have 3 Dyson fans and all are about 1.5 - 2 years old.. considering they are stored in a cupboard for 6 months of the year and not used a lot...… Read more

they are junk make from cheap plastic. Here are some issues, Plastic Color has turned from white to dull yellow, the fan jolts when in the move mode, very noisy, not great air flow... don't be st>pid I I am and just buy yourself a good old cheap plastic fan which will push more air, will be quieter and won't fade a nasty color after just 1.5 - 2 years

This fan is amazing! We have had two power outages on extremely hot days and it’s been a godsend. It’s super quiet,moves up and down and side to side… Read more

and the air output is sensational. We have used it every single day since it arrived and honestly couldn’t live without it now. We are even thinking of buying a 2nd one. The battery life is great,it look really stylish and the remote is magnetic and sticks to the back so you always know where it is. I really have nothing negative to say,it’s well worth the price. It’s easy to move around being cordless but you can also use it plugged in while charging so it’s never out of action. Would highly recommend,every household needs one! Oh and it even has a nightlight!

I placed an order on 04/05/2025 through the Dyson Australia official website for $448, and the product was delivered on 07/05/2025. Unfortunately,… Read more

upon first use, it displayed an F2 error. I followed the troubleshooting instructions provided, and while it occasionally worked, the issue persisted.

I eventually reached out to Dyson Support, and the chatbot arranged a repair and provided a barcode for return shipping. I sent the item back on 17/05/2025. However, I have not received any confirmation from Dyson regarding the return. I had to rely on the Australia Post app to confirm that the item was delivered back to Dyson on 20/05/2025.

As of today, I have not received any updates, acknowledgments, or apologies regarding the issue or the return. This has been quite disappointing, especially considering I am still within the 45-day return policy. It raises concerns about the level of support I might receive if a product were to fail outside the warranty period.

I hope this feedback is taken seriously. Based on my experience so far, I feel compelled to leave a 1-star rating due to the product malfunction and the lack of communication and support.

For 4 years and still strong – Minimal sound. Good breeze each setting. It's keep the room coles on most warm days but on those very skizler days u need air con but most days of… Read more

summer this can make pleasant. I'm happy with mine and I bought second one for another room. I use thin brushes and wet wipes and keep it cleaned.

12v fans – Great style fans. Works fine. Blends in with my decor.

Originally four stars but Vornado patronised me so easily 2 stars. I didn't want to be harsh but there are cheaper, and better, options out there. … Read more

It's an okay product but be warned it can be really hard to take the cover off and it should not be used on the floor. It has nothing to stop hair or other stuff from the ground getting stuck it in.

It's efficient but I recommend putting it on top of a drawer or getting the pedestal version. It's a real shame Vornado advertises it on the floor when that is a really bad idea. If hair gets in it's a nightmare to get out and can slow down, or even stop, the fan.

You can't simply unclip the cover like you can on the cheapest Kmart or Bunnings fan.

After it arrived, it took me a while to realise why it stood wobbling on any flat surface: The electric cord holder had been installed upside down… Read more

and was sticking out underneath. How did THAT pass quality control? Surprise 2#: Doesn't oscilate, just revolves 360deg - useless for a small apartment. 3#: Only Low or Very High setting, nothing in between. Surprise 3#: Can't clean blades!!!!! What THE ACTUAL HELL? Love how the manual says: "Grill and Blades become dusty over time and causes problems...' NO. TRASH! But can't remove cover. It even says that. Well, thanks. 94 bucks - rip-off!

A good fan with a small footprint. Not too loud – Purchased March 2024, based on recommendation and reading Choice review. (It was not a recommended model but the smaller DETF110 was, and there were… Read more

no serious downsides). One big requirement for us was a small footprint for the fan, which this satisfies. The ability to have the upper and lower segments pointing in different directions is occasionally useful. The fan moves a sufficient amount of air, and does so without making a lot of noise, which was another key requirement. Being a tower fan, the air movement is distributed along a vertical column so if you want something pointing over the edge of a bed this isn't going to be a great choice vs a pedestal fan. However, for tasks like drying laundry on a rack, or blowing air towards us on a couch it is great.

It only lasted 2 years and 3 months, not 5 to 10 years . The output and power was satisfactory for use in a small room Show details

GOOD PRODUCT FOR THE COST – Purchased from Aldi in 2019 use in the office and for what I paid for it cannot complain - it does the job. was starting to rattle so a quick tighted up of all screws hasn't eliminated but has reduced significantly. Well worth the $40 I paid for it Show details

Will NOT buy again – Bought this fan less then 12 months ago, and it started making a tapping noise so ha to take it off rotate, then all of a sudden it just STOPS, and the top of the fan where the motor is, was HOT. Show details

We saw a few cafe having these fans during the Perth heatwave in late January. A few of the retailers also sold out and that when we decided a must… Read more

have for those days when not hot enough to use air con but a strong fan is needed.

We bought our at Retravision and we also tested the fan there. What we loved is everything packed neatly in the box and the installation is very easy, a bit like Lego pieces. I found the two way the fan can be use is excellent ideas; pedestal and floor standing. Another useful feature is battery recharge, once the unit is charge it is potable a big plus. Best of all is how quiet the unit run.

My only suggestion for improvement would be having wheels so one can move instead of carrying around. Apart from that very happy with how it operates so far. Most of mine electrical operate items, I prefer to use a blower to remove dust instead of wiping, I found this way is easy and prolong the look.

Floor Fan – A good little fan . Easy to use, easy to store , easy to carry around, highly recommended, child safe and very affordable at a price that you can afford easily , cheap but good quality.

Was fine until it wasn't – Bought exactly a month ago, the fan fell off the base the front broke off and the plastic blade snapped as it fell, just thankful no one was hurt.. the smaller desk size fan is working nicely though Show details

Waste of money – Worked great till power pack started sparking . Company sent out wrong power pack. Now they tell me they don't keep parts and will not replace fan. Good luck with yours. Keep an eye out on the power pack sparking Show details

This is the perfect fan for cooling the bedroom on hot nights. On the two lowest settings it is impossible to hear from more than an metre away. The… Read more

double direction oscillation is very effective at keeping the air in the room moving. We have often left it on overnight without a problem. It is simple to turn off the lit up control pad so that the room remains dark. It can even be controlled from your phone with the app. We tried other brands and found them impossibly noisy even when they were advertised as "quiet". This is not cheap but well worth the extra cost.

The cords that control the fan speed & osolation Snaps after 13 months use. They need to be upgraded to withstand weathering. Unable to purchase… Read more

replacements & no doubt it would cost more to replace than a replacement fan. The guard corrodes badly otherwise a powerful fan

Great airflow for this humid summer – Super good airflow.tried at good guys. ($129)Much better than kambrook 117cm tower fan ($149) and the breville pestdal fan ($269) They have weaker… Read more

airflow. The specs, price, size of fans re irrelevant to the airflow. Make sure you try the display and decide. Solt has pedestal fan which is cheaper $99 but they don't have display to try in the store we went. So we stick to this tower fan.

Love it.

what an impressive performance! .. I tossed up between this one and another brand! .. & I’m so glad I purchased this one! .. powerful, quiet, very effective & takes up minimal space! .. great value for money! .. definitely highly recommended! Show details

Problem with my electric – Previously put up a bad review however, it was a problem with our electric. Very happy with it. Sits at the end of my bed. I suffer with hot feet and it’s perfect for sorting that out. Show details

wouldnt stay up, kept leaning down, i know i did it all correctly, but instruction book was so bad, any idea to get the head to stay up ways? Its a annoying, any step by step i can watch?

was great for 2 days – The fan was great on Sunday and Monday night I got a good sleep in the heat however tonight the fan won't turn off until you turn off the sock it… Read more

moans and groans and slowly spins even though it is supposed to be off..low speed makes the same groaning sound the disappears in medium and high speed..will return to Harvey Norman tomorrow..hopefully just a bad one

Cheap Plastic Nightmare – The fact that this product sells for close to $60 AUD is the funniest joke! From top to bottom, it is cheap and poorly built as it gets. I've had $15… Read more

fans from K Mart which were far superior. The manufacturer could not even be bothered aligning the front and back grills .. the joys of a poorly plastic ring await you (if you are unlucky enough to buy one you'll know what I mean). Dont worry. about the remote btw, it never works from distance..utterly defeating the purpose. You've been warned!
