Hey what’s up? Sami here.
This is NexFan Ultra, basically it’s a portable air cooler
that offers quick cooling, air purifying and even aromatherapy
Sounds interesting right?
However, this thing has sat on my table for over a month and I barely use it, why?
So let’s start with things I like about the NexFan Ultra.
First, it’s easy to use.
Open the air flow grill
take the filter out and place it under running water until wet
Open the water tank cover and pour in water
Connect it to power source
Press the power button, done!
You are ready to enjoy the breeze
If you are curious of what the keys are:
for the power button, short press to switch between high, medium and low fan speed
long press to power off
While for the UV-C button on the left
Short press to switch between 7 different colors and gradients
Double tap to power on or off the spray and UV-V, if your unit is UV Edition
Second, it lives up to most of its claims.
The reason I’m saying “most of” is bc I haven’t tested all of the claims that’s on their page,
but judged from the tests I’ve already done on the NexFan,
it seems handles quite nicely.
Like on their page, it says “It can work for 8 hours with one fill.”
I literally did a timelapse video that,
I put the fan speed on the highest mode and let it work straight for 8 hours,
as you can see, there are even some water left in the tank after 8 hours!
That’s quite amazing.
The NexFan claims that it can "provide a breeze cooled by 5℃/9℉, in an instant."
I would say that's half true bc only when you freeze the filter for 20 minutes first
and add some ice to the water tank.
It does drop 5 or 6℃ in an instant
But if you don't do that, I can't say there is a way to provide that cooler breeze in an instant
But you can't say it's a false advertisment either as it doesn't specify the condition, right?
Other things like portability, you can basically use wherever you want
Strong breeze
This is my hair, turn on
This is about 3-4 feet away like you would normally use at a distance
You can see my hair blows away...
I can feel the strong wind
It's strong
And the power efficiency, you can just use a power bank as your power source
It has all that.
But why I barely use the NexFan?
As for me, the only downside is the noise.
It measures at 60 dB when I put to the highest speed mode.
And 60dB for me is unbearable, especially when I’m sleeping.
To give you an idea of what's 60dB like, here is a chart of that
It's not going to harm your health or something
But just don’t feel comfortable under that noise environment.
Or it's only just bc of me too sensitive of the noise? I don't know
What's your opinion about it?
Of course, you can lower the noise down
by turning to medium or low fan speed modes but you would get weaker breeze.
Alright, that’s my honest review.
Yes, it’s not bc of Geekbuying selling something that I have to say something good about it,
I just want to share my honest user experience with you guys.
Of course I personally don’t like it doesn’t mean it’s a bad product nor it doesn’t fit you.
It has raised more than 1M USD on indiegogo, that’s a strong proof!
Many people like it!
If you are using mostly for outdoor cooling or office or you don’t care about the noise,
this is a good product for you.
It lives up to its claims, it’s powerful, super portable and you know what, it's quite budget friendly.
It’s definitely gonna lower your AC bill and save you a good fortune.
