Retractable Blades Ceiling Fan - Review

Review on the Retractable Fan

[@fotogenicas123]

*This fan is everything I wanted in a desk fan and more. It looks great for **Fastly.Cool** my room , it puts out a wonderful amount of air. Is very easy to use.I just keep it plugged in.*

[@stacieshannon9555]

Personally, I like the way it seems to be circulating the air around the room (see the drapes) rather than blowing straight down. Thanks for posting.

[@jwatwater]

What a genius way of showing how hard the fan blows

Wait...

[@jwatwater]

@Lenny Blaks You missed the point

[@jwatwater]

@Lenny Blaks Now you get it.

[@Gabe12347]

It’s spinning in the direction where it takes air and moves it up and out. If you reverse the air will move down and out.

[@shellgrlm]

Do the blades come out with the motion? Wouldn't the blades not come out if it was reversed? Idk if that makes sense

[@rajparmar9866]

No , they open because of centrifugal force and do not depend on direction ,So they will open either way you rotate it

[@rfenandoe]

finally one person who knows physics... @rajparmar9866

[@rodjames1693]

I conducted the same test using my 10 year old fan and it's the same result! The fan/light combo is amazing and very stylish. Also I noticed the fan was turning anti clockwise which is the correct direction for summer. Good job!

[@makinforb965]

why

[@ANabih-uo3zy]

There should be a button to reverse direction

[@rfenandoe]

physics people, its a retractable fan... the blades will not open in the opposite direction, hence there is no switch to flip the direction.

[@MDQDZINE]

paper doesn't move yet the heavy curtains are moving quite a bit.

[@serious.business]

Looks like that's his AC blowing those curtains.

[@nopenope8364]

@@serious.business AC is clearly off

[@MsThePoint]

I appreciated the info about the weight - Important for install. :) Of course all fans are different so I don't know (Nor does anyone who is commenting!) if clockwise or counter-clockwise is the downdraft on this unit, but, personally I prefer a fan that circulates the air discreetly, rather than blows, so I'd probably be okay if that is a much breeze as it puts out.

[@SparkyMTB]

The reason the fan is not moving the tissue paper might be because the blades are going / facing the wrong way. It’s sucking air upwards to the ceiling & creating a breeze up & outwards which is why your curtains are moving more than the tissue paper. I might be wrong here but that’s what I see.

[@indranr5547]

Agree, it's on winter mode..spinning anti clockwise pushing the air up to the ceiling

[@dittopls]

@@indranr5547 winter mode is clockwise

[@laserbeame1]

@@dittopls might depend on what direction you are looking; up at the fan or from above looking down LOL...

[@mohamedkikia7338]

I have one of these in all rooms. They are fantastic and work extremely well. The earlier models had led lights which glowed dimly when off. The newer ones have led lights which have resolved this problem. Replacement lights are readily available. These fans are inexpensive. I purchased these fans from local Chinese stores a few years ago and they are still working fine.

[@vimalanantha476]

Thanks for the feedback. almost wanted to go for this option!

[@dannyvv75]

There is a small black switch on top of the fan try the other position of this switch. I got a Fanaway too and love it, better: i find the slowest position enough to sleep under

[@rfenandoe]

This one didn't come with a reverse switch. Also based on research hard blades have a reverse. Retractable only move in one direction, in the opposite direction the blades remain closed.

[@nattga]

It’s not directional as blowing straight down like the fan we used to. Of course, it won’t move anything directly under it. The fan blows/moved air around the room. Look at the curtains.

[@sarcasmWeOutHere2]

nattga exactly🤣😂that’s the same shit I was saying👍🏾

Thanks for the review you saved me from spending 20k now I will focus on Crompton or Havells

[@Me-sf2bn]

yes, thanks so much for this video! You are definitely saving me on this!! ❤️❤️❤️

[@rfenandoe]

then you owe me lunch

[@wsdtime]

Judging by the angle of the blades the air is blowing up rather than down cuz your curtains are moving

[@BCSBB]

Is that normal?? I’m confused

[@wsdtime]

@@BCSBB For the blow up No well not a particular fan anyway

[@frenchiestfry8116]

Since it blows upwards, it works better in winter time to circulate the warm air collected on top. In summer you want it blowing down on you so if it doesn't have a reverse setting then its useless tbh

[@BigDuke6ixx]

Is the fan rotating in the right direction? They do have two directions I think.

[@rfenandoe]

Unfortunately not this one. There is no black switch on it to switch directions.

[@BigDuke6ixx]

@@rfenandoe yes, of course, silly me. I bought one in the end and the cone of air it produces is quite narrow.

[@ralphguerrero518]

most fans don't blow directly down, notice the drapes...they hit the wall and engulf the room. awesome fan.

[@himderfella]

Conventional ceiling fans have a Winter Summer setting. The Winter setting draws air up to the ceiling & the Summer setting directs the wind to the floor. Perhaps the setting(?) is for Winter? Cleaning the fan blades is more difficult than for a conventional ceiling fan because the blades retract when stopped. I would not recommend this type of fan.

[@rfenandoe]

This one didn't have a black switch on it to switch directions. Also researching on it, hard blade can be reversed. Retractable blades move in one direction.

[@almen1594]

rotations can clockwise or anti- clockwise.wind downward or upward.

[@rfenandoe]

Let me know of a link for a retractable blade model that supports clockwise and counterclockwise rotation... any link. :)

[@rjpoldfart]

The drapes in the video were moving very briskly. Therefore the fan was not designed to blow straight down, but to circulate the air. It seems like it's doing a great job of that!!!!!

[@irismania]

Thanks! I appreciate your review. Helps in making my decision since you said fan not so much.

[@rfenandoe]

Glad I could help!

[@kayabuns]

when i saw the shredded paper i thought you were gonna throw it in the air HAHAHA

[@aminhsan5141]

Hahaha same 🤣🤣

[@rayg3408]

Thank's for your honesty.. I did notice that your curtains were moving maybe it blows a different direction instead of straight down but I agree with you you picked a very nice fan the light is awesome

[@rayg3408]

I just realized you have the fan going backwards.. make the fan go the other direction

[@Deeluvpara56]

I have a fan almost like that. My fan blows papers off the table (can't keep it on high because it's too strong and I have a bluetooth that plays great music, plus light changes to different colors and different modes if you want. The LED white light is extremely bright. I love mine. Easy installation. Going to buy more. Mine came from China. Never going back to the old style fans.

[@rfenandoe]

No, this one has no blavk switch on it to switch directions.

[@spr481]

The curtains move nicely, so it seems absolutely sufficient.

Useful review my friend thanks

[@MaxBetMama]

the curtains are moving. The tissues are right below the fan in center below the light, not the blades. Perhaps the wind is blowing in the circumference?

[@rfenandoe]

Yeah I picked up the papers from the chair and it never blew there either. Check out the follow up video with the new fan

[@MaxBetMama]

@@rfenandoe Thanks for this. I stayed away from the retractable blades because of your videos. I got the new fandeliers with the cupped blades. They are amazing. I got two of item # 35524593 on Overstock.com for my large living room. Moves twice as much air as my old fans, even thought the blades are much shorter. The cupped shape moves so much air! Cheers! And thank you, again!

[@mohammedyousouf6678]

I installed one but it not good for summer. the best celling fan is Panasonic best of the best

[@michaelpisecki6871]

The fan isn't blowing the paper because the vortex isnt directly below the fan, it's down and away. Look at the heavy curtains moving!! I cant believe the viewer's didn't see this?

Theres a follow up video at the end of this one. And trust me no matter where I stood there was no breeze with this.

No mate. You're doing great. Ignore hate comments if any.. Quite informative

[@MelissaGemini]

Try spinning the fan the other way. Depending on which way it is spinning, it either pushes the air to the walls or straight down.

[@rfenandoe]

[@blaze556922]

This looks like a cool design that doesn't work. If it can't blow tiny pieces of paper around, how can it circulate air properly?

[@joeyrichardson3040]

Air is pushed outwardly not down

[@blaze556922]

@@joeyrichardson3040 Which is the opposite of what you from a fan... Thank you for reinforcing my comment.

[@adrianscarlett]

It's known as a HVLP system. High volume low pressure. It cools by moving a lot of air very gently, moving air away from the skin that has a high humidity due to perspiration, and replacing it with less humid air, and without causing a draught.

[@hmddoc]

Dude. Look at your curtains! You don’t want the fan to blow straight down over the table. I bet if you sat on the couch, you would feel the breeze. It’s evident by the way the curtains are blowing.

[@crocpa]

Thank you for saving me time and money

[@grantseto6247]

But also it looks more like the Fanimation Air Shadow.

[@adehed]

So since the curtain is moving, there is obviously a decent breeze, but not directly under. Question I have is how is the breeze on your chairs? Noticeable or not so much?

[@msingh2423]

Don't want to have the ac running all day everyday. :)

[@dpark5285]

The curtains are moving. Clearly air is circulating. It just may not be pushing straight down.

[@jennmichelle70]

You said those were 52” blades but they looked so small. Are you sure the size was right? And I saw the curtains moving too.

[@rfenandoe]

Yeah that's the size they advertised it to be. I think this video had a pic of the box it came in as well. Yeah it did circulate a bit... which is why the papers and curtain moved a bit Check out the follow up with the replacement.

[@TheDickem]

They make 36 inch and 42 inch sizes.

[@Anne-kb9hd]

It's the circular light that is 52" I believe. The fan has a setting switch for two settings, Winter & Summer. Hard to clean, need to have switch to stay out to clean, when not moving! Plus the rectangular box inside,with voltage info, doesn't last very long!

[@kmadrid9689]

I bought these for my whole house and they look nice but the fans don't work for nothing you can't fill the air at all

[@CoroaEntertainment]

Flick the switch on the fan so the fan blades spin in the other direction. Right now it seems the air is moving up towards the ceiling, and then down behind the curtains.

[@rfenandoe]

My honest opinion is they are not worth the space and electricity at all. They look good and are somewhat a conversational piece. Nothing more. Look for a regular blade fan with an RPM upwards of 240. These can't reach that fast as the blades would come flying apart.
