Meaco Desk Fan 1056 Air Circulator White £79.99 (£77.98 selected instore) / Meaco Pedestal Fan 1056P £109.99

Why do you have so many lamps? (edited)

Does anyone know if any left in the Sheffield store as of lately and the latest price plz?

I'm going to use the second one I've ordered for a few things. One is to dry clothes a lot quicker using it with my Meaco dehumidifier. And the other is to shift the warmest air off the ceiling in the winter and hopefully make my flat a little warmer. It will do that on the lowest setting (1), and they're so energy efficient it's practicily free to run them. On setting highest setting (12) it would use less than 1p every 4 hours according to Meaco if you're electricity is £0.34p per kWh. (edited)

I had a Dyson AM07 and switched to a Meaco 1056P. To me, the Meaco is better in pretty much every way.

The Meaco is much cheaper. It's quieter while shifting more air. It can oscillate up and down as well as left and right (the Dyson only does left and right). It has more functions/modes.

One thing I disliked about the AM07 is that there was no easy way to take it apart to clean it. Air is sucked in through vents at the base, which then gets circulated around the main loop amplifier section, but there's no filter to help prevent dust getting in (there is on some more expensive models), and it's really not designed to be user serviceable. It is very easy to remove the Meaco's fan blades to give them a wipe down, as you only need to remove 2 Philips screws and a locking nut that you undo with your fingers, and the motor is a sealed unit.

The only advantage the Dyson has is that it has no traditional blades (it still has a regular fan in the base), but it's not like you can inadvertently touch the Meaco's blades anyway.

Also, my AM07 started to make a whining noise after a few months of use. It wasn't super loud, but it was enough to be annoying, particularly when using it at night while trying to sleep. It was replaced under warranty, but the replacement started to do the exact same thing and Dyson wouldn't replace it again. I've had my Meaco for around 14 months and have had no issues at all.

Had the same response, currently fighting with argos for a refund

All fans HEAT a room. Their engine produces heat energy. A fan only cools a person if that person has surface moisture (sweat). One can apply cold water to the face and neck to get the benefit of a fan.

The Screwfix one only has 3 speeds. It only oscillates horizontally. It has no remote control, nor other features. It has a standard 12 month warranty.

The Meaco has 12 speeds. It oscillates both vertically and horizontally. It has a remote control, 4 different main modes, both on and off timers, a temperature gauge, and a digital display. It has a 2 year warranty.

I've not used that specific Screwfix one, but the reason I ended up buying more expensive fans is because all of the cheap pedestal fans I bought were noisy. Obviously if you crank the Meaco up to its higher levels, it will get fairly noisy too, but at the lower levels it's really quiet, so it's ideal for using at night when you're trying to sleep.

Fingers crossed, although I'm doubtful as this is apparently the lowest ever price since 2018 - but never know if Costco can't clear their stocks (edited)

We've got a meaco dehumidifier and we put our washing on an airer close to it and thin sheet over the top of the airer seem to dry it v quickly.

We've not tried the meaco fan on it as its usually away in winter. (edited)

You can get a Costco gift card and use that for single time entry.....so works out cheaper if doing a single visit.

Yes they do. Sorry, didn't check the price but there were a lot of them next to these ones in Sheffield.

As per comments, various in store

Also back to £79.99 online

They all melted during the last heatwave.

A fiat is just a car, just like a Aston Martin. It’s just a fan, but a very good one!!

Really?

I did the same, it worked out to £105.28 but I haven't had chance to pick it up yet

Did they have many ?

cheres will update the post

If you don’t mind me asking, which store did you pick up the pedestal version from please.

 It’s already £65 in the stores 

Likely a defective unit, I'm afraid. Get a replacement, you won't regret it.

It is separate. It’s always been like this.

Think it’s just £30 at the minute. We have both fans (and just ordered another), the pedestal version is in the bedroom so the airflow is felt better on the bed. If you had something to stand the standard fan on then you wouldn’t need the pedestal. Just depends where you want to place it really.

Maybe because there are plenty of people in here who are quite happy to buy a better quality, longer lasting and therefore less environmentally damaging, more effective, quieter fan like this extremely well reviewed by Which? one. And who can still manage all those other things too.
