Fan recommendations required

[Thug]

I've come to the realisation that the fan I've been using for my IDT isn't strong enough.

 

Apart from the Wahoo Headwind, none of the recommended IDT fans are available in SA.

 

 

Can anyone recommend a decent fan that has a relatively high CFM and no, I'm not spending R6.5k on a fan.

[Danger Dassie]

Homeware suppliers. Best and cheapest option.

I have a Russell Hobbes 56cm floor fan.  On 1, it's plenty and only on the hottest of days have I used it on 2. I think with some decent cable management, it'd be perfect in a helicopter!

We use this type of fan: https://www.makro.co.za/appliances/fans-heaters-air-coolers/fans/floor-fans/kenwood-45-cm-floor-fan-/p/000000000000062992_EA

 

I would not be paying R1000 for it now to be honest, that just seems crazy.

 

The big Russell Hobbs one is the same price: https://www.makro.co.za/appliances/fans-heaters-air-coolers/fans/floor-fans/russell-hobbs-56-cm-high-velocity-floor-fan-/p/000000000000321743_EA

I'm thinking of pulling the trigger on one of these:

Nice that it has a remote control.

Takealot are R175 cheaper for the Kenwood than Makro.

I got a pedestal fan from Takealot. R399 or something like that.

I ordered the Kenwood 45cm fan from Takealot.

Goes left right and up and down and has a nice remote to play with.

Call AMS fans, Linbro park area, and speak to them.

Thanks Guys.

Aircon + any fan with a remote would be the best addition for your paincave. Comes down to spending that R6.5k [or more] but if you spend alot of time indoors then you will really appreciate and enjoy this.

 

Feels awesome when the fan moves that cooled air onto you.

The remote is a nice touch but I find the fan itself doesn't ship enough air to keep me vaguely comfortable during a hard session. These two work much better:
