Usha Maxx Air 400mm Pedestal Fan (White)

I purchased this fan after some good research and it turned out to be a good purchase. The fan was delivered nicely packed in a small carton. The packing was originally from Usha. The white color of the fan is really nice. The installation was a 5-minute task. When you fit the rod to the base, take care of the slight notch on the base and aligned it properly with the rod else the fan will not stand correctly. Rest is all easy stuff. The base is heavy and all the components are well built. There should have been wheels on the base for easy movement.
The fan’s speed is not very high but the air throw is good. You can use it within a distance of 6 to 8 feet. The fan is a quiet one and won’t disturb your sleep. A ggod product from Usha.

I was surprised to see such a compact box, but soon discovered that it accommodates all the components.

Please note that assembly is required. The box contains a small booklet with instructions in tiny font and drawings smaller than postage stamps. It would have been far better if the parts had been individually labelled or even colour coded, instead of the complicated descriptions in the booklet. It took me about twenty minutes to assemble this item, though I happen to be an engineer. I should also mention that a medium sized screwdriver (preferably but not necessarily Phillips head) is required for the assembly of this product, which is not provided.

Since most of the parts are made of plastic, the assembled fan is light – though the base is heavy enough to maintain stability and balance. Like most other fans, there are three speeds, adjustments for the height and angle of the head, and a selector for the oscillation function. The wire and moulded two-point plug are satisfactory, though I would have preferred a longer wire. The fan runs at full speed for several hours without heating.

Apart from the light weight, the best feature of this fan is low noise. At the minimum speed, it is practically silent. At higher speeds the noise is audible but less than one expects. It is also said to be low on energy consumption, though there is no star rating. It is too early to comment on durability, but I am optimistic.

On the whole, good value for money.

I had a Usha pedestal fan for more than 10 years and was very happy with that fan. Since its motor got burnt, thought of going for another usha fan.
Received the Usha MAXxAir. The plastic parts look very fragile and flimsy compared to the old fan. The dome over the motor in particular, it is very flimsy and I felt that it might break during the assembly. Need to see the performance in the days to come. Feel like giving lower rating, but will watch it over sometime

Good for bedroom but you can’t use it in hallroom because the air speed is veri low
