MYCARBON Quiet Desk Fan - 12 Speed Automatic Oscillating Air Circulator With 25dB Silent Operation, 10H Timer 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 got this to use in my kitchen. Because my kitchen has no windows, so no natural ventilation or flow of air to cool the kitchen down when cooking. The size is perfect because it can sit on the kitchen bar and sit more stable than a tower fan. For the price, I expect it to preform well, and it does. It also has some advantages to a tower fan which I’ll get into later. The fan performance is brilliant. It is powerful and makes a difference. Without the window open to drag fresh air in, it still gives good cooling air. The reach is impressive and tilts up and down and rotates across to cover the whole room. It has a few modes, most importantly is the night mode. This is where I feel it has the edge over a tower fan. I’ve noticed, every tower fan I have owned, start rotating smoothly. But quickly become noisy. Squeaky noise for the rotating mechanism. That’s because of the height of the tower. This has not and don’t believe it will suffer from this issue. The build quality is a mixed bag. It built very well, premium build quality. But the plastic housing makes it feel a little cheap. The remote also feels a little cheap. But I love fact it has a magnet built it and sit on the base of the fan. The remote has to be pointing directly at the fan to work. Very responsive.

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...

Love this fan so much we have just purchased another one for our son's bedroom. In laws also purchased one and very pleased with it. We searched for the holy grail of the silent fan, I don't think it exists but this fan is nearest we've come to it! On our favourite setting it is lovely and quiet with a gentle breeze and we can sleep without being disturbed. It's solidly built, not flimsy, easy to carry and move around as it has a strap on the top, good choice of fan settings and really well made. Worth the money I think. Looks stylish too. Love it!

This fan is really amazing, really high quality with lots of adjustable positions and settings! This is probably one of the best fans I've ever purchased, the airflow is nice and strong and its way quieter compared to other fans. The fact that you can choose the force of the flow and whether it rotates is also really helpful as it actually cools the whole room down too, instead of just one select area. Love the remote control too, great for really hot days when you don't want to get up and adjust it manually. Overall, great product which serves its intended purpose very well.

This fan is worth every penny, I have tried, brought many fans over the years & none have really been any benefit in warm weather or hot summer, thats untill this one, its absolutely 💯 great even at night on sleep setting. The only improvement I could suggest being disabled is for Mycarbon to add either Alexa or Google Home smart voice control to it (or both,) This would be both beneficial at home but also away from home as customer could turn it on before returning from work, I tried to do it using Home Smart Plug but it doesn't work as you can only start switch it on but not start any setting, anyway thats my only gripe over all its a 5* fan

Quite expensive (and probably cheaper elsewhere), but I don't regret it. It's quite small and compact, yet can blast out a good amount of breeze. On lower to medium speeds, it 's also very quiet. The up/down as well as left/right movement keeps air circulating nicely on a hot day, even on the slowest speed. I thought having a remote control was a bit of a pointless gimmick, but it proved very useful while working from home, as I didn't have to walk away from zoom calls to switch the fan on, off, or to change speed. Much less scope for small fingers to stick in and be thwacked by the blades. Much more stable than most traditional fans. Downsides: The remote is very directional, and there's a definite, narrow sweet spot in which it will work. One LED in the temperature display on mine has already failed. But it doesn't stop it working, and having a thermometer in a fan is definitely a pointless gimmick.

Very happy with this fan. I'm a light sleeper and so any noise can keep me awake. This is the first fan I've been able to leave on through the night. It has up to 12 speed settings and can oscillate sideways vertically or both. Particularly like the different wind options and the sleep one has a rhythm to it which is actually quite relaxing and helps you sleep. The remote works fine and can adjust all these and can switch off the display so you have darkness as well Happy to recommend
