Top 3 Frequently Asked Questions (FAQs)
-
How does the 2-in-1 function work? The fan comes with a multi-part pole. To use it as a desk fan, you simply remove the extension section of the pole and click the head directly into the lower assembly/base.
-
Can I run it on "High" speed during a 2-hour blackout? Yes! On the highest setting, the battery lasts approximately 3 hours, which is more than enough for a standard Stage 1–4 load-shedding slot.
-
Is it quieter than a regular fan? Yes. Because it uses a DC motor (Digital) rather than an AC motor, it is significantly quieter, especially on the lower "Sleep" speed settings.
