Effective cooling fan - but not the quietest

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on June 13, 2018

Verified Purchase

The oscillating fan works well, scanning slowly from left to right and then a bit faster from right to left. This regular movement is almost completely silent on my model. Oscillation mode can be switched on or off.
The fan itself tends to be a bit noisy. On the low setting, I get a reading of c. 40dB using a sound meter in close proximity to the fan, and c. 30dB when sitting 9 feet (2.7m) away from the fan. I can sleep with it switched on, but the white noise produced by the fan is noticeably greater than that produced by my air purifier's fan - which is almost whisper-quiet at its lowest setting.
This Bionaire BT19 fan can be remotely controlled, which is a very useful feature. Using the buttons either on the tower unit OR on the remote control, the fan can be switched on and off, the fan speed can be set (3 speeds), the timer can be set (1, 2, 4, or 8 hours), the oscillation mode can be switched on or off, and you can operate the Sleep and Breeze modes. Note, however, that using sleep and breeze modes will not reduce the basic noise level.
LED lights on the tower control panel light up to indicate which functions are in use; but they are not bright LED lights and they shouldn't cause any problems with sleep.
At the moment, my fan is positioned near a wall about 9 feet (2.7m) away from where I'm seated. At that distance, it produces a pleasant and effective cooling breeze. The ability to operate all the functions with the remote control is a great asset - and would be especially useful for someone who is disabled, infirm or elderly.

Eficiente y buen desempeño.

Cumple totalmente con mis espectativas, volvería a comprarlo. Por mejorar creo que podría ser el control remoto debido a que de lejos no se aprecia a que nivel están cambiando o en que modo está aunque igualmente es muy útil.
Por lo demás todo muy bien. Buen desempeño y en mi caso si vino con el conector europeo así que no tuvo que comprar ningún adaptador.

Funciona bien. Muy silencioso. Cuidado: viene con un enchufe de UK. Necesitaréis un adaptador para poderlo conectar a la red.

Great for a good nights sleep

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 2, 2018

Verified Purchase

I got the Bionaire fan because I was very happy with the mini bedside version.
In our house we have a number of tower fans all made by different companies, and so far there's very little to compare between them. I also bought a £30 one from Morrisons the day after getting this one, and comparing them based on sound level and the cooling effect of the air, there's very little between them. However, this wins by far for style: the cheap one is ugly white plastic and has big clunky buttons that click loudly when you press them, this one is a much sleeker design. Having said that I do find all the beeping annoying, especially as I only use this at night. Why does it need to beep every time you press a button?
The remote control is great, I do think it's worth spending a little extra for a remote if you're using this at night. Mine even works after my son dropped it in my bedside glass of water!
It really does have a good cooling effect, and I find the sound of the fan covers all those sharp noises that wake up light sleepers (like me) so for me it's a godsend for a good night's sleep in summer.
The only thing I'd like to change is that you have to cycle through all the speeds: you press it once for low speed, twice for mid, three times for high and then once more to turn off: there's no other way to choose the speed or turn it off. And each time you press the button it beeps!
Other than that, it's nice looking, silent moving, sturdy design, I'm very happy with it.

Cumple perfectamente lo que quería. Ventila bien y es muy silencioso. Si tiene alguna pega es que podría ser un poco más barato.

I purchased one of these just as the heatwave hit, and was so impressed, I bought another.

They have really cooled us down on the hottest of days (and nights).

One tower cools a good-sized living-room or master-sized bedroom to a comfortable level - once the room has cooled, we have been able to maintain the ambient temperature by using the tower on a lower setting. They are less noisy than expected; the sound of the motor increases on the higher-settings, but we quickly got used to it.

They look sleek and attractive, and the small footprint makes it easy to find a place for them. They will also be easily stored over the cooler months.

One tip: we have found the fans most effective when placed on a coffee table or other elevated position.

The recent heatwave would have been quite unbearable without these.

Edit: I was considering buying another tower for the kitchen, but was shocked to see they are now more than three-times the price I paid. They're good fans, but I don't think I'll be buying another - not at those prices!

Its a Fan but im not...

Reviewed in the United Kingdom on August 3, 2023

Verified Purchase

After using the fan for almost 2 months I'm fairly disappointed overall, Firstly and arguably the worst part is the controller! Its terrible, You want to stop the fan moving back a forward just get up and do it because the same button on the control is used for the fan speed so it just ends up cycling through the speeds 50 times before you get it to stop... Next is the noise, its not quiet even on sleep mode you can hear the motor spinning up like an old tractor and the air doesn't even travel that far to make up for the noise! I have a small living room and it has to be on full power to even feel a breeze, save your money and just get a normal fan in my opinion.
