Challenge 16 Inch Pedestal Fan - Chrome

Product Information

It’s a similar story with pedestal fans, which are basically more powerful desk fans on a stand that are designed to cool a larger area. You can usually adjust the height, pivot and oscillation to control airflow, but they tend to be bulkier than tower fans so you’ll need to make sure you have enough space – both for use and for storage. The oscillation and tilt function will ensure directional airflow reaches a wider area for more thorough results, so that the cool air can be circulated throughout the room or focused on a particular area. With the adjustable height, you will be able to stay fresh at any angle and when rotating at an extremely high speed, you will ensure to keep yourself cool in the summer months. If you need more cooling power, you’ve still got it. At the top speed we measured airflow at 2.7m/sec, with a noise level of just 42dB. You’ve got a choice of touch-sensitive controls on the fan itself and a slightly cheap-feeling remote, while the efficient DC motor keeps power consumption to between 2W and 8.1W. While not as powerful as the Dimplex Xpelair 360 or the MeacoFan 360, this is the fan to go for if you prize your peace and quiet above all else.

As you can imagine, pricing is one of the most important factors of any purchasing decision. We can find the perfect product for our needs, that fits the brief in every single way. But if it doesn’t fit our budgets, we simply can’t (or at least shouldn’t) buy it. If the brand you buy is important to you, our best advice is to spend some time writing up your own list of ideal brands. That way when you come to the point where you’re comparing product options you can filter to only show the products from brands in your list. You can also change fan speed with the remote and these range from one (which is virtually silent) to ten and are indicated on the circular OLED status panel set into the base.

Just before we get into the detail of analysing the price of this product, we want to briefly highlight the importance of setting yourself a budget before you spend too much time shopping around for a suitable product. It’s all too often that we get carried away when shopping and find ourselves buying a fantastic product, but probably actually overdelivers on what we need and therefore costs a lot more than we should have spent. So spend a bit of time looking around at the sort of price you can expect to pay for products in the Fans category and use that alongside your own financial situation to set yourself a budget. The next step for us was to look at all of the products that fall within the Fans category, of which we found 37 products at Argos. So we pulled together all of the prices of these products to analyse the average prices as well as finding the cheapest and most expensive options. Price is another really important factor for analysing the quality of Challenge 16 Inch Pedestal Fan vs other products in the Fans category. It’s obvious, but you will need to set your expectations of quality based on your budget and the price of the product you’re looking at, against the price of alternatives. Next up is material.

ADJUSTABLE HEIGHT AND OSCILLATION: The height of this fan can be adjusted between 1.1 metres and 1.3 metres which allows for a cool breeze no matter where you are in the room. A wide-angle oscillation feature allows the fan to oscillate up to 80° which makes it ideal for both solo use and in a room with multiple people. You can change the direction of this airflow up and down by sliding the dome part up and down, and the fan can also be set to oscillate automatically using the small remote control that attaches magnetically to the front panel.
