If there’s one thing that Singaporeans love to complain about, it is the weather.
The mix of high temperatures and humidity, the majority of the time, results in us feeling sticky with sweat and discomfort. This explains why many of us have developed a love for cool air at any point in time, which includes investing in bladeless fans.
However, I’ve seen many bladeless fans and tech devices go viral on social media before and have tried them over the years. Sad to say, most of these products did not live up to the hype, leaving me with regret.
So when I received the Shark TurboBlade Bladeless Fan TF200 last weekend, I was definitely sceptical and worried it might be another disappointing product. Hence, I decided to test all of its features and functions with a brutally honest mindset.
Testing it out
Unlike other bladeless fans with fixed settings, the Shark TurboBlade allows the user to manually adjust its height and twist two air vents based on where they want to direct airflow. This means that the user can ventilate two areas simultaneously, doing the job of two fans with one single fan.
Aside from offering 10 fan speeds, the fan also has three speciality modes: Sleep, which ensures eight hours of optimised cooling by muting the chime, dimming the lights on the front of the fan, and lowering the fan speed; BreezeBoost, the most powerful setting, which pushes the fan beyond speed 10, projecting airflow up to 20m; and Natural Breeze, which is designed to emulate the gently fluctuating airflow of natural outdoor breeze.
Upon assembling the fan, it was relatively easy to navigate through the various features and modes, thanks to the helpful set of instructions found at the back of the fan.
Aside from a button where users can manually toggle the fan speeds, there is also a remote that allows users to adjust the settings from a distance.
While my living room isn’t 20 metres long (it is slightly more than 9 metres), I decided to see if I could feel the cool air if I stood at the other end of the room. To ensure a fair test, I did not turn off any conditioning units or ceiling fans and closed all the windows and doors.
True enough, I could still feel the breeze in its BreezeBoost mode, and there was a substantial amount of power felt when I stood at the end of the room.
Moreover, the adjustable height and twistable air vents made it more flexible for me to ventilate not only myself, but also my furkid in the living and dining room area at the same time. The oscillation angles that the Shark TurboBlade offers (45°, 90° and 180°) were also a great plus, as I was able to twist both vents 90° outwards and set oscillation to 180° for a complete 360 cooling coverage.
I’ve also tested the Air Blanket Mode and the Sleep Mode before I went to bed. However, I wasn’t able to get the cool air that I wanted under the comforters with the Sleep mode, and had to turn up the speed by two notches to feel comfortable.
The Air Blanket Mode, on the other hand, was much more effective without oscillation. While it was slightly louder at an increased fan speed, it was still relatively quiet, delivering a soothing airflow that allowed me to sleep comfortably through the night.
Is the Shark TurboBlade Bladeless Fan TF200 worth the hype?
Overall, the Shark TurboBlade Bladeless Fan TF200 was easy to use after a few minutes exploring the features and functions, though it is worth noting that I had to press the buttons of the remote with some force.
While it wasn’t the biggest issue for me, it was for my parents, who are older, and could be challenging to use for people with weaker hands, like the elderly. Nevertheless, I appreciated the magnetic function of the remote, which attaches it neatly to the fan in a thoughtfully designed spot, decreasing the chances of misplacement in my house.
I also commend the portability of the fan, as I could carry it up and down the stairs of my house relatively easily. In addition, the powerful airflow that the Shark TurboBlade delivers can get me through the relentless Singapore heat and humidity. The Air Blanket mode was the most effective function for me, as its wide coverage, even without oscillation, provided the cool air I needed.
The Shark TurboBlade Bladeless Fan TF200 is definitely a worthy investment, especially for those living without air conditioning or ceiling fans.
