Iris Ohyama Fan, PCF-SC15T, 6.2 Inch, Swings Up/Down & Left/Right, Timer, Remote, 5 Speeds

This fan is great! I only just recieved it today and immediately plugged it in to try. Since it's such a pricey item, especially for a fan given the current economy, I've tried to add as much as I can to this review. The highest setting is incredibly powerful, with the lowest seting providing a soft breeze and the highest being like a wind tunnel! Much better than my tower fan, and very quiet. At the highest setting, you're obviously going to get some noise, but nothing like my tower fan. It has two rotating features, left and right and up and down. You can have one or the other on, or both, which makes the fan move around and blow air all over. The manual even shows diagrams of optimal placement for various needs and comes with a warranty. If you use the rotate features, best to place it on a flat surface, since you risk it toppling if it's on something say grass, sheets etc. The best feauture, for me, is the breeze feature. It's a button which, when pressed, provides a very soft breeze, which changes in intensity (so very soft to around level 1 on the fan) for a few moments. It's really nice when working on a pc to have a constant subtle breeze that is occasionally a little stronger. The fan itself is average weight to a little weighty, depending on your physical capabilities. Since it's a spherical fan, it has a little carry handle in the back, but depending on your physical capabilities, switching it off and picking it up from beneath the sphere (around its 'neck') works fine too. It's got a decent amount of cord, and it's small enough to fit on a desk, so ideal to take into work if you need to or have it on the coffee table, etc. The design is also very sleek and unobtrusive. It comes with a remote that you could probably put on a key chain or string to keep safe, as it's got a little hole in the side, which I think it quite a considerate feature if you lose remotes a lot! The remote must be pointed directly at the fan to work, so simply pressing it in another room, for example, will not work. If you lose the remote though, it has all features on the base of the fan, which is very sturdy. All in all, an absolutely brilliant purchase and I'm really delighted with it.

Bought this fan 5 years ago. I was looking through my order history and came across it, so decided to leave a review, as I think I've used it enough to give an honest opinion! This fan is of a good quality and design. Not in your face nor run of the mill, it's quite attractive! It takes up very little space and has excellent coverage thanks to its oscillating head. The airflow might not be as concentrated and lengthy as a tower fan when it turns, but for its size it does a very satisfactory job. This little fan is light weight with a clean and contemporary style, and is well liked in my household (which has 2). The remote control is a bonus when you're in bed and want to adjust the speed or switch it off. The remote has to be pointing fully at the sensor on the front of the fan to respond though. The lowest setting is quiet enough for me to fall asleep with - which is amazing! There's also a breeze-like setting which constantly adjusts the speed at which the fan blows at, just like how an actual breeze would act. The only downside to this amazing compact fan is the front cover is so intricate in design that it makes cleaning the dust off it a fiddly job. All in all, I like this fan and every Summer it comes of storage and does its job well.

Fantastic little fan. Very quiet on the lower settings, & definitely works well with an air conditioner to rapidly cool a hot room. It's compact, easy & hygienic to clean (wipe down surface, no buttons sticking out), it doesn't suffer from buffeting like a traditional fan (the air flow/stream is steady & constant). Having a remote is handy as well, but you do need to be at the right angle to use it. I do have some very small gripes with it, but nothing that would stop me recommending it. 1. As others have mentioned, unfortunately the fan has no way of tilting/blowing lower than the surface it is placed on. But this is easily overcome by putting the fan on a lower surface, or the floor. 2. I wish I could turn the lights off on it at night. I like my room to be as dark as possible at night as I sleep better that way, but covering them with black electrical tape has done the trick. 3. There's no quick way to get it to recenter itself from circulation mode. You have to turn off both the horizontal & vertical swivel one at a time. All in all, an excellent product. Well worth it & would happily buy it again.

Look, this fan will not knock you over with its power. It is a nice, compact fan that will sit on the desk next to you and give you a light breeze, even on the low setting. And the low settings are EXTREMELY quiet. (I've seen some people saying it has a "hum" on the quietest setting. Well, yes. It's an electric fan with a moving motor. You can only make it so quiet. Do you live in a monastery?) Even the high setting is quiet enough to let you watch television without having to boost the volume. The highest power mode will give you a fairly narrow blast of air from a distance of a couple of meters, but no, you will not get much of breeze from across the entire living room. If you're looking for something to sit in the corner and reach every inch of the room, this isn't your product. If you're looking for something to sit close to the sofa, or on top of your desk, this is perfect. The circular oscillation is a nice touch and gives it a great range of coverage, although I wish it didn't point quite so directly upward when it is going up and down. Not many people are going to be standing directly over their fan. And it can be a bit fiddly to get it to point at the hight you want when choosing to do only a back-and-forth oscillation. But this is a pretty minor complaint. I find the "breeze" function much better than most other fans that have this feature. I've always found it annoying on other fans because you can hear the motor speeding up and slowing down. This fan is so quiet that (unless your room is exceptionally quiet) you can barely hear it, so the breeze effect works and is quite pleasant. However, it is only available on one low-power mode, so you cannot get a breeze effect and high power at the same time. All in all, a great little fan. It was indispensable in the office this summer.

This fan has been fantastic, as a woman of a certain age I need to feel cool air at night to sleep, my partner however cannot sleep with my previous tower fan going, this fan is very powerful and on levels 1-2 is pretty quiet and he can sleep through it, I have it on a chest of drawers which is head height (when lying down) directly in front of us about 3-4 metres away and it is just enough to feel the breeze for a comfortable night. There are higher speed settings which are very powerful but they are noisier not massively but enough to disturb his lordship. The best aspect of this fan is the remote control being able to switch it on/off/up/down whilst still in bed is fabulous, so there are no rows over whose turn it is to get up and fix the level. This fan moves in a very clever way either or both up and down and side to side simultaneously, I've seen fans oscillate but not in a full circle like this one can. You can choose any or all of this capability but I don't actually use this function as I want the airflow directed at me at all times lol but it looks cool. (Pun intended) Its not cheap but it's not as expensive as one of "those" fans but it is most definitely making my evenings better, I would recommend it. It is stylish looking and not too big the fan part being roughly the size of a football. Give it a go you won't regret it Ladies

We have brought so many fans!! Over the past 5 years we've gone cheap, we've invested in the big brands and yet, this small, round, cute and sophisticated looking fan is the best all round that we've ever brought. Dimplex etc you have competition compared to your weak ass towers!! I don't know how, I hope to christ they don't change it as when I've got spare cash I do get one every now and then before they dissappear or change or go dearer! But this packs a punch! It actually blows out cool air when it's hot, ie recent heatwave etc. It's powerful, not loud. I mean, if you want a fan that's silent your in a dream world but compared to one's we've had its a nice wind noise, doesn't clink clank or clunk. It will cover most of a standard size room, 4 bed house, all bedrooms have them, the living room, now want 1 for the nook and 1 for the kitchen then I'll get another couple for spare. Seriously though, I have MS and heat can near to kill me. No fan has been as compact or as perfect as this one. Be realistic on what you want in a fan but this one ticks all my boxes, my husbands and my kids! To the seller/developer, change nothing!! Dont ruin an absolute gem of a product. (Slightly cheaper as always would be great lol) I rarely give good feedback!

I presume it's going to be great. I bought for my son to replace the one he left here when he moved and my partner loves this fan immensely. Quiet and great control. Great product.

There is nothing I can fault about this fan aside from the steep price some might think for a fan, but let me tell you now, it's worth every penny. Enough so that I've bought two of these and if any of those break I'll replace them with another of these fans. The shape is what drew me in, look at it, cute sphere of a fan. It's like something from a sci-fi movie or something. Anyway I read the product description and after checking it out I was sold on the vortex style way it pushes out air. The science checked out and I went with it. The fan is powerful. It has five speed settings and I'd say 3 or 4 is probably what I've experienced from most conventional fans but with the added bonus it pushes the air further. You can place this fan much further away than other regular fans and still feel the breeze. Place it closer and you're seeing a massive difference to the 20 or so quid fans you can buy. On the 5th speed it's honestly something else. It's like the motor goes into hyperdrive. Oscillation? Yeah it's got it and with vertical movement too. Horizontal and vertical at the same time? Yep! So stick this bad boy on 5 speed with both oscillations on and you're whipping up some right breeze in your room. Honestly feels like a different room in no time. Lazy? No fear it comes with a remote. Instantly cool without having to get up and turn it on. It has a timer for auto shut-off with times of 1hr, 2hr and 4hr. There's also a setting to replicate a breeze you might feel outside where it slows down and picks up from time to time simulating that kinda breeze. End of it all though just buy this fan you'll forget you even spent more than you anticipated on this breezy beast of a machine as the price is fully justifiable mark my words

Der Tischventilator ist heute pünktlich angekommen. Beim Auspacken stellte ich fest, dass dieser mit einem Englisch. Oder amerikanischen Stromstecker geliefert wurde. Den kann ich leider nicht verwenden, da wir nur sog. Schukostecker haben. Das Produkt werde ich zurück senden.
