MYCARBON Fan Quiet Desk Fan Automatically Oscillating Whole Room Fan 12 Speeds Turbofan 25dB Silent Table fan 10H Timer Air Circulator Fan for Bedroom Office Living Room, Energy Saving

I thought I'd compare the MyCarbon with the tower fan, Dyson bladeless and one of the small, cube-sized 'air-conditioner' fans (usb fan with a water reservoir that gives out a fine mist) Firstly, against the oscillating tower fan, the MyCarbon wins hands down. It is far far more powerful, cools the air more, moves the air around more due to its ability to not only oscillate left to right, but up and down too.Compared to one of the water reservoir air-conditioner fans, MyCarbon also wins. The cube A/c only offers relief because of the fine mist of water it releases into the airstream. But there is no power to the usb cube, and within a few hours, you need more water. Most of the cheaper cube mist fans have no ability to oscillate. So again, for the MyCarbon, it's a huge win.The Dyson fan is the one to beat. I have the Dyson AM06, which cost me £350 last year. So the Dyson is very quiet, and does seem to reduce the room temperature by about 2 or 3 degrees. You do feel a current of air, but not like a bladed fan - it's much more subtle. The MyCarbon did also drop the room temp by 2 degrees when I had the windows closed and I wasn't reintroducing hot outside air into the room. Exactly as the Dyson fan. The MyCarbon isvas quiet as the Dyson if on night mode, much much quieter than the Dyson if set to the baby mode. On baby mode, you can hardly feel air being displaced but you can feel cool air coming out. I think baby mode is exactly designed for that, to be placed just out of arms reach of moving hands, to keep baby cool. The is a great guard Infront of the fans blades, narrow enough for adult fingers but a small child would certainly get some of his fingers through.I personally like to feel the air gushing past me, cooling me down, so I was happy last night, sleeping on level 9 (max is 12). You can turn off the display panel so you don't have a bright display emitting a bright light at night. You can set a timer - up to 10 hours, which is handy. When you power off the fan, it seems to remember your last used settings. The remote is handy too and has a magnetised surface on the fan to sit on.Compared to the Dyson, I'd say it's marginally less cooling, but as far as reducing the overall room temp down, the MyCarbon is as good due due to its multidirectional oscillation. The biggest difference is the price. Is it worth paying the extra £190 for the Dyson? No way! The slightly better cooling offered by the Dyson is marginal. The Dyson is quieter but not hugly so, especially when the MyCarbon is set to the quieter settings.Bottom line, a great fan. So good, I bought a black version for my son's room.

I have been pleased with this fan so far. The item came packaged well and feels well built. This is further emphasised by the 1 year warranty provided with this product.As the weather starts picking up, we were after an extra fan as we tend to use one in our toddlers room. I was intrigued when I came across this fan that was meant to be quieter but also had different modes of how the air is blown out to you.First thing I noticed when I received this product was that it was a lot bigger than i expected. Its not really a desk fan nor a floor fan but rather something in between. However due to it having 12 different speeds it can do both jobs effectively. Having said that, I can't see myself having this on a desk. The fan itself does look and feel premium, which is to be expected when you consider the price you pay. The ability to oscillate and also move up and down means that it i very effective as a floor fan. The fan also tells you the temperature of the air it is blowing out which is a great feature to see if you are just blowing warm air around a room. It also has a handy handle attached to it making it very easy to move around.Regarding it being a quiet fan, at low speeds yes this is the case but if you use it at the higher speeds then it sounds just like a normal fan but still not as noisy. The different modes certainly do change the way the air is blown at you so should suit most people's needs. It also comes with a very useful remote.Time will tell how good this product is but for the time being I am pleased with this purchase.

Bought because it was advertised as an almost silent fan operating at 25db. That's debatable in my opinion but it certainly is a lot quieter than the 3 speed desk fan it replaced. Anyway after several restless nights I downloaded a free noise meter app on my phone and checked our old fan and was surprised to find it registered 55 to 60db. To me it sounded more like a light aircraft taxiing in the corner of the room!!! That made my mind up to purchase the MyCarbon fan and so far it is much quieter, but still registers 25 to 30db on the same app. I'm guessing but I suspect its to do with the disengaged oscillating mechanism which sounds a bit like there's a mildly irritated flying insect trapped inside the base. For the price I'd expect better bearings or gear mechanism but it's probably all plastic mouldings with an excessive tolerance build up in the mechanism. Also if you set it to either cooling or night modes the fan speed fluctuates as it tries to constantly adjust the fan speed to achieve the required temperature setting. So we just leave it in fan mode at the lowest fan speed setting. Overall its a good fan but a bit pricey for the quality. The double oscillating mode feature isn't really going to get a lot of use in our room, so is wasted. However, the remote control is good and you can also switch the display off for use at night. So far it's working well and we're managing to sleep and stay cool. Will update the review after a few weeks of continued use...
