Review on Floor fan Electrolux EFF-1004i, black by Mateusz Grabowski ᠌

Revainrating 3 out of 5

Performs its functions, nothing unusual.

If not for the quality, it would be an ideal fan: quiet, relatively beautiful (as far as possible for this technique), with flexible settings for operating modes and a timer. By the way, the sleep and natural modes seemed rather useless. The constant change in rpm of the motor distracts much more than a uniform buzz. I definitely wouldn't be able to sleep.

Pros
  • 1) Quiet, both due to the lower first speed (compared to other fans I dealt with), and, possibly, due to the non-standard shape of the blades (I'm not sure here). 2) Heavy stable base (someone may find it too heavy if you plan to rearrange often) 3) high-quality materials (but not the quality of their workmanship), and it looks "expensive" 4) assembly (almost) without a screwdriver. This very "almost" is bewildering. There is one screw . the functionality of which is duplicated by a latch that it fixes. Why he was needed I do not understand.
Cons
  • Of the minor quibbles - bright blue LEDs and a whistle at minimum speed in silence (perhaps this is normal, just other fans are noisier and the sound of the electric motor is not distinguished) The main problem is the workmanship: a) casting base from below in burrs, I almost cut myself. But it's still okay, after the assembly is not visible b) the thread of one of the screws was half-filled with plastic. At first I didn’t understand why I couldn’t fix the fan, then I understood and had to tear off the extra plastic with a knife. c) the paint on the grille is slightly peeling off. It's only really visible on close inspection. d) something in him is not calibrated - in one direction he turns his head at a much larger angle than in the other. At the same time, it emits a fairly distinct "bang", as if trying to continue turning in this direction.
