Midea FS40-12HR

Very good quality quiet fan – Great output, very quiet, many speed settings, can be so low you can barely feel it all the way up to blowing the curtains off. Remote control or control from fan. Oscillate optional. Blue light on display was very annoying until I worked out how to turn it off with the fan still going, hold down the middle button people! Welcome to a good nights sleep! Base is quite heavy but it does make it very stable. It was the most expensive fan in the shop, but I have no regrets. I need a quiet fan to sleep and after trying 4 other cheaper fans, this is by far superior. Very satisfied. Sad its been discontinued, hope they bring out the same quality in their next model.

Great fan – Firstly i had no problems putting this fan together... The only warning i have is to not unscrew/pull out the height adjustment knob at the back completely because you cannot screw it back in again for some reason.?.. It did not bother me only because it stays at whatever height you want it at without the screw anyway.. This fan is good ! It has many varied speed settings and is quiet on silent mode. At night i generally run it on silent mode on number 5. I have it running all night without a problem... It is economical to use.. The higher settings can be a bit noisy but i don't use them... I basically purchased it for the bedroom but also have it running in the lounge area when it is comfortable enough to switch off my split system. The remote it easy to use .

A good fan but probably priced too high – This is a generally well built fan with number of fancy electronic settings. The biggest selling point, I guess, is its low noise levels during operation. The fan provides a very good air flow rate and can feel the movement of air from a reasonable distance. One cool feature is the 'Sleep' mode of operation which provides an almost inaudible operation (at low speeds of course) which is great when you just want to go to sleep with the fan running. Fan also has timer mode operation so that it can be turned off automatically after some time. It comes with a remote.

On downside, when the fan was first delivered, I undid the height adjustment knob - the manual says only to loosen it but does not tell you not to undo it. When the knob was taken off the nut which takes the thread in simply fell off inside the fan. This meant I could not screw back in the height adjustment knob. Fortunately, service centre person understood and acknowledged the problem and replaced the unit without any issues.

Only other design issue is that the LED is way too bright for night time operation - it just lights up the room! The only way around was to cover the panel with cloth. Apart from the above cannot fault with the build quality of the fan.

I probably would have rated the product higher if not for the price - I think it is over priced given the fact that one is able to get a basic pedestal fan for around $100 albeit without all the bells and whistles this fan provides.
