Shark FlexBreeze TableMate Cordless Fan, High-Velocity, Indoor & Outdoor Use, 20m Cooling Reach, Quiet & Portable, Weather-Resistant, 5 Speeds, Oscillating, Remote Control, FA150UK

Honestly a fantastic fan with a good range of power. It's quieter than most of my tower fans and definitely pumps out more air and I love the fact that it works on a battery so I can move it around as needed without worrying about power. It's solid, and a little heavy but comes fully assembled. Mine rattled a little when I first got it but following the instructions I took the front apart and reset the fan blades and that fit it perfectly. It's powerful for how small it is and doesn't take up much space so ideal to put somewhere in a room to pump hot air outside for example and make a cross breeze in the summer. Looks very sleek and comes with a remote too. I love the breeze function that comes with it, I find it perfect for night time.

Not a long-term review at all, but initial impressions and thoughts. The feature-set of this fan is outstanding. Remote control of all settings. Five speeds, remote control aiming of fan (side to side), four oscillation modes: 0 degrees (i.e. off), 45 degrees, 90 degrees, and 180 degrees. Auto-off timer upto 5 hours. The fan is certainly not silent. On the lowest speed setting it is very quiet and still mildly effective. The reason for it remaining effective is the deep shroud around the fan making the moved air quite directional and more focused even on lower speeds. I imagine most could sleep with the level of volume, it's not obnoxious at all, but it wouldn't be enough for me personally on those days it has reached over 30 degrees outside. On speed 3 and above it is as loud as any other fan I've owned. Speed 5 is extremely loud, unlikely you could sleep at this level, but it's also like being in a wind-tunnel (it is very powerful, I will give it that!) and unnecessary for a bedroom. The battery life claims to last 24 hours, but this is on speed 1 only, with no oscillation. On speed 5, with oscillation on, you're lucky to get 2 hours out of it. The unit is very plasticky and the dimensions are quite bulky due to the shroud, but build quality feels really solid overall. It does however have a warning label stuck on it saying not to turn the oscillation motion manually - I presume due to this being driven by a stepper motor with plastic gears which may break, so you've got to be careful when moving it around I expect. This is no doubt going to be a point of failure for many of these. Do I think it's worth the RRP of £150? No. These seem permanently on reduced price at £100 though, which is what I bought it for, and for that, it's still overpriced. You're paying a bit for the battery pack/charging aspect of it, and those batteries have a finite lifetime before they aren't holding a useful charge, at which point you're left with what is in reality a nice-ish fan with an elevated level of controls. Having said all this, I bought a second one all the same because I've not found anything better. Would prefer a version without the battery nonsense for about £75... But I would still recommend the product overall.

Bought this in the summer and fell in love. Absolutely perfect. The remote is easy to use and has a magnetic connection to the fan when not in use. So powerful and yet so quiet. Had it blasting near my partner’s head and the television was playing on the usual volume. Has all the bells and whistles you want and more. Love the customisable side to side. So you can have it aimed where you want it. Really well made so no fear of breaking it accidentally. Handle on the back makes it easy to move around. The battery life is also impressive. Honestly a lot of thought has gone into this product and it shows. Worth every penny and more.

It’s expensive! But, it’s worth it. The build quality is excellent, which is what you expect from a brand like Shark. It’s not too heavy either, which is a plus if you’re moving it between indoor and outdoors. It’s easy to use, push the power button and away you go. You can increase the fan speed and turn on or off the oscillation, again at a push of a button. The remote is a handy touch as well. The remote clips to the back of the fan for storage or moving about. Speed 1 is like a gentle summer breeze. Speed 5 is more like a windy day. Any more than speed 3 indoors is a bit much. Speeds 1 to 3 you barely notice it running as it’s that quiet. 4 and 5 is like a normal fan on full speed sound level. The battery life is pretty good. I’ve not tested the full 24 hours on speed 1. It did last for me at least 6 hours on speed 1 without it saying it needed charging. I recharged it anyway, and it gave me about 3 to 4 hours on speed 3 before it wanted charging. It can also run while it is charging which is bonus. It’s a bit bigger than a standard table top fan so you do seen some space for it.

Fan is exellent, even at level 1 you can appreciate the breeze, level 3 is my favourite while watching tv, it provides lovely cooling while still able to enjoy tv as it's not loud or distracting, level 4 then 5 you definitely know it's on as these settings are for when it's not beside you and across the room on oscillate as it is loud but extremely powerful. It's much bigger than i thought, it weights 2.8kg but has large handle at back so easy to carry/move around. It has good tilt up/down movement which you do by hand, button or remote to control setting for 45/90 or 180 degree oscillation. Remote is small and easy to use. Aesthetically it looks brilliant, well made and quieter and more effective than most fans. Can be used while plugged in or portable once charged, this could be amazing at the park while picnicking. I've gave 4 stars due to cost but also because to charge requires the included power pack which although being robust and long cable, it means you need to have that with you to charge as it's a pin connector not your typical usb c which everyone has laying around. I highly recommend this over the big main brand which is extortionate and is no where near as good as this. Best fan i have ever used.
