Love mine. The soft cool breeze is great for bedroom and its also noiseless. Only one fan works, where do we go to repair please? Show details
Great room addition for summer if you don't have aircon! – I can't comment on the retail price as I purchased this second hand from a seller on Gumtree. It was practically new and got it for $40. Yes, AUD! Bargain. Fan is definitely of solid build compared to other pedestal fans I've had which were also made out of plastic/steel. With industrial stainless steel blade fans aside, this is top of the… Read more
spectrum when it comes to options for fans. The triple fan feature is great because you can choose how many to run and can disable any of them which leaves room for choice. It also allows for additional strength options and is pretty powerful for the size of the fans. Noise is minimal which is great and after using this non stop for the summers over the last 3yrs it still hasn't developed any annoying vibration noises or unusual sounds that can be too common with the basic cheaper pedestal fans. Swing feature is also a bonus. Height and size of fan is very convenient and realistic and the design is modern and fits in to almost any style and environment. Light enough for easy moving yet sturdy enough it feels stable when you stand it on tiles, floorboards or carpet. I have no issues sleeping at night with it on and the timer function is also great for those who don't like having it on throughout the entire night til morning. I'd definitely buy this again and would recommend this to anyone looking to buy a decent and durable fan that doesn't have a hefty Dyson pricetag. Living in a unit/apartment, my options for installation of aircons is limited and very costly to have wiring installed running from the kitchen where the switchboard is located to the other side of the unit to my bedroom. So this is a convenient solution to the hotter days (I also have a portable air conditioner however they can be quite noisy, given their power) but for my 3m X 3.5m room, this product is more than enough for most summer days unless we cop a heatwave in which case, no fan will create a comfortable environment with cooler temperatures like an installed or portable air conditioner will manage to do. Overall, great product with good features and a solid build with minimal noise. I believe they sell for around $150 retail which I would still spend now that I know how good they are. (Only negative is the timely cleanup with the build up of dust in the little holes and on the fan blades. If the blades would somehow snap out of place and could be removed to allow the cleaning process to be easier, it would probably be a helpful design concept).
Top fan doesn’t work! No information about how to fix it – Top fan doesn’t work! Can’t find info how or who can fix it. Apart from that it is a reliable and looks good. Wish I could find the manual! Suggestions? Advice
Stem Broken – This fan, I have 2 is a treat has been super reliable though some reviews are right the stem has just broken on 1 and I would like to know how Felix Mathieu of Perth repaired his 4 times, published 2 years ago. Purchased 2.5 years ago
Great fan – Excellent in every way, except the beeping when pushing buttons is annoying. It's rather quiet but can pump out alot of air on high. The remote comes in handy too. It seems to be rather sturdy. I'm not sure what the funny modes are, I just use high med low. Show details
Looks cool works fine – First one I had to replace under warranty because the middle fan stopped. New one seems fine. Nice and quiet and has a gentle low a decent powered high setting. Had to put black tape over the blue light when I use it at night. Wish I could turn off the beeps at night but not a huge deal. Show details
it's the best looking – I bought this for last summer from the good guys. At that time, I thought it looks cool and doesn't look like typical fans. And it's help my family for this year too. Everything is good. Even there are three fans, you can choose how many fan that you want to run But only problem is neck part is bit weak so people needs to be careful with it. Show details
Excellent floor fan – I bought 2 of these units one each for the living and dining rooms. Love he fact that I can have 1,2 or all 3 of the fans going at any one time and the oscillation is nice an wide. My lounge is a long large room and one of these on high is powerful enough on the highest setting to move air throughout the room without becoming too noisy. Show details
Love this fan – I simply love this fan for so many different reasons. Its cool to look at... so many people have actually thought its some amazing speakers I have and not a fan, great at making warm days/nights cooler and 2 year long warranty, not even crazy expensive. Never imagined having a remote control can come in so handy!! Show details
A great, versatile fan – I really enjoy this fan. It has cool looks, quite a lot of options for what it does, and is quite transportable considering it's unusual shape and size. My only problem lies with the lights on the fan, which make sleeping with it on a little bit difficult (I ended up taping up some bright bits with electrical tape, haha). Show details
Compact, powerful, great timer for nightime to conserve energy – Great fan. Nice and compact for the corner of the room. We have a very small bedroom with no room for a traditionally shaped round fan and this sits nicely in the corner and rotates as well. I really like the timer as it means I can cool down while reading/ drifting off to sleep but not have to leave the fan on all night and wake up cold in… Read more
the middle of the night. Also the adjustable fan levels means I only need to have the top fan on while in bed but can keep feet cool while at my desk. Also, no fan blades like traditional fans so not worried about little fingers.
All in all happy with this purchase so far only negative comment I could make, and surprised by other reviews, is the noise. It's not very noisy but I can't leave it on the "ocean breeze", or the "ZZZ...snooze?" setting as it revs up and down and I find the noise a little annoying when trying to get off to sleep or watching tv so I don't use those settings. Also would be good if the remote control buttons were back-lit so it's easier to adjust in the middle of the night. I have memorised where the buttons are so I can to avoid turning on the light.
Apart from that, happy to recommend to friends.
Great versatility! I'm a big fan – It has many settings and combinations to play with. I can choose which fan to turn on, and how strong, and for how long. The build is quite light, but still sturdy too. I am very happy with the fan. The only down side is that it looks kinda weird. Show details
Nice to save space, but fully satisfied with wind – Positives: - size is very good. Ideally fits in living area without occupying much of space - quite operation. I have kept near to tv and not much of disturbance with wind noise Simple and elegant look this fits living area Negatives: - not much wind at peak summer times. Max speed is sufficient to handle very warm days Show details

Its a perfect tower fan – This tower fan have sleek design, touch screen button and blow cool air better than normal tower fan and good power, and quiet, using it on our living room powerful enough to cool the whole living room, bought it on sale on jb-hifi, best tower fan i ever had, would recommend it to everyone Show details
Faults with this moddle – Fans work well. Unfortunately the stem on the base is a weak point and have had to repair it 4 times. One of the blades on the middle fan snapped off so I cut the other side to balance it. Works ok. Other than that it is still in use.Thank you. Show details
Looks Cool works well – Firstly it blows cold air, That should probably be enough, but this thing looks pretty good. I use this in the bedroom and it is very quiet and the timer turns off when expected. I got it on special which was a bonus, All in all I am very happy and would recommend this cool looking fan.

Great product – Bought recently with the hot summer and I'm quite impressed. Bought on sale and seems worth a lot more money than I paid. It's quiet and i can sleep all night with it right next to me. Runs like a dream and like the different settings on it. Would highly recommend Show details
Convair Cool Tower CTF07 – Purchased 3 days ago from The Good Guys for $129 (on sale ). I have only used a couple of times so far and really satisfied with it performance.. Quite, cool air and powerful with 90W output. Look a bit complicated but really easy to use. Very impressed with this fan. I found it perfect for hot summer nights. Can feel the cool wind from FAN.

Great fan for a bedroom or study – Although I have only used a couple of times so far this year I am pleased with this fan. Used in bedroom on a hot night it works well, has a remote so I can turn off without getting out of bed and you don't have to have the 3 fans going on at once. Sits nicely in the corner of the room. I think I paid around $160 at the Good Guys. Don't know about the power output but don't really care...just want to be cool! Show details
Looks pricier than it is, works great – Waited almost a year to review to see how it lasted, so far so good. It looks different which appealed to me, some perhaps not? It has 3 individual fans which can be switched on / off in various combinations totalling 21 in all inc their speeds (I will let you work that out). I believe power wise it is good and most should be happy with it but… Read more · 2
best to check it in store for yourself. It is reasonably quiet fan wise however makes a little mechanical noise when oscillating which developed after a few weeks but hasn't gotten any worse. It has a remote for all functions and also has a timer. It feels sturdy and for a tower fan difficult to tip over, probably as they have used a nice solid / heavy piece of glass for the base. Probably the only negative is cleaning the dust from the honeycombed shaped grilles, while a good vac will suffice it takes a bit of work.
Overall compared to others I have looked at it is a good fan.
A great buy – At first I bought vortex vornado...but found a little disappointing and then i bought this fan.....truly amazing....it does cool well on a pretty hot day and my wife too liked it and we bought one more.....And we never had to buy any other fan because for the price it does an excellent job....................

Great until one fan broke after <3 weeks, but was easily replaced under warranty – After less than 3 weeks of use, the middle fan emitted smoke and stopped working. Was initially very happy, aside from the large blue light which can be bothersome at night. Not very quiet, but quickly got used to the sound and it was no longer noticeable. Remote is handy. Being able to activate fans individually is nice. Edit: The whole fan was… Read more
replaced under warranty without difficulty and has been working fine now for years. It’s also quite easy to clean after removing the grills at the back.

Excellent Tower Fan – I am very impressed with this fan. Not only does it do an excellent job of keeping you cool, it is super quiet as well. The top speed setting is powerful enough to feel the cool breeze from across a room. The base is a thick glass disc which gives great stability to the fan, unlike other thin tower fans which tend to wobble. All you have to do is… Read more
stand in front of this fan in any store and you will feel just how cool, quiet and powerful it really is compared to other brands.
It's a great fan..but – I use this fan in my bedroom it's great but you'll lose the bottom fan or two depending on the height of your bed as its too low, and whats with the blue lights! Too bright you certainly won't need a lamp, it is one of the best Iv owned so far as the wind is cooling, I'm shopping for another fan now I won't buy another one of these only cause my… Read more
bed is high & I only get a breeze from the top fan, it is fantastic if you can get use of all three fans you'll Love it, easy to clean and functions are great you can select to use 1-3 of the fans I do love it pitty it's not good for my room, would recommend
Good situational fan – This is an excellent fan, however it is only really useful for people sitting down in chairs / couches, In the bedroom, you'll lose the bottom two fans. It's fairly quiet, and the range is better than the average 40cm fan. It's fairly difficult to clean though, especially the front of the blades.
Very exclusive for a fan – This is a very, very good quality fan. This has the most modern look you could ever imagine for a tower fan. This fancan be very powerful and packed with features. Like... *remote control *different modes (nature mode and sleep mode also standard) *oscillation function *timer *since this has three separate fans put together, you can control… Read more

I am very pleased to have this fan. It has a very power and I like the many functions. Although I like this fan I do have some uncertainties, I do find it quiet loud (for having it in a bedroom) And also that the lights the come up on it with the display panel, once again it is very bright to have for a bedroom. But on a positive note I do urge people to get this fan as it is a good quality, as you can get much, much worse.
Great look, perfect for lounge room, 2 loud for bedroom! – I love the beasty look of this fan!! I was unhappy to take it back due to being 2 noisy for my bedroom! It has a crackle noise that keeps waking me up while I sleep! The lights on the unit are also to bright for a bedroom. On the plus side, it's a GREAT fan for a lounge room! I end up exchange it for the 'Convair Tower Fan Tilt CTF10' which is perfect for my bedroom! Show details
Super cold and very sturdy – We bought one of these a few weeks ago from The Good Guys, originly intending to purchase another Kambrook KFA835 fan (very similar type). This one however is much cooler and more powerful, almost air conditioner like, and very quiet. It feels like cold air in the room, instead of a powerful rush of room temp air in your face. it is also very nice… Read more
to look at and almost looks like a speaker! It has touch screen buttons and the base is solid glass. We've knocked our kambrook over a few times and it's survived but it's very wobbly when knocked, this one isn't. All in all we will probably buy one or two more of these for around the house and in babies room!
Not too sure – Looked and sounded great in-store but now being used in my bedroom it is quite loud even on the lowest settings. Also there is a buzzing sound coming from the top. Either I picked up a faulty fan or it just doesn't suit the bedroom environment. Will be calling the store to try a replacement and if the same, a different brand/model looks great, plenty of settings, good height noisy, expensive
Very good fan – We're now on number three of these Convair CoolTower fans; the first we had issues with after a few months as one of the three fans stopped working but a five minute trip back to The Good Guys and this was replaced under warranty with a new one so no dramas at all. The second one went to an early grave after around 12 months as our cat jumped from… Read more
a bar stool and tried to land on top of the fan and knocked it over which resulted in the fan snapping where it meets the glass base.
We looked at a whole range of other options but there is nothing which is remotely as aesthetically pleasing as this fan at a comparable or even much higher price so we were happy to replace with the same again. We've had many compliments on the fan and many friends have asked if it is a speaker when it's not turned on so it achieves what we wanted which was something functional which doesn't look like an ugly pedestal fan.
The fan is rather appealing to small children and babies though as it has a blue light at the bottom which along with the movement seems rather fascinating to them. After the experience with it snapping at the base when knocked over by the cat I'm very vigilant whenever there are littlies around to make sure they steer clear as would hate a repeat of this if a baby or toddler grabbed the bottom of the fan. Aesthetically pleasing, works well, multiple modes Risk of snapping at base when knocked over
Great looking fan – I only just purchased this fan, but love it already, it is very modern looking and less obtrusive than a regular fan. I like the three fans at different heights and very heavy glass base which keeps it stable without legs to trip over. There is a small slim remote control with numerous settings which I have yet to learn. This fan also comes with a 2 year warranty. Compact modern look
