Fertraso Pro Deluxe Standing Fan 50cm 130W

This is the heaviest standing version in the Pro Deluxe range: a 50 cm blade set, 20 inches, with a 130 W motor, three speeds, 90 degree swing and a vertically adjustable cage.

What 130 W buys you over 90 W

Between the 45 cm and the 50 cm versions two things change at once: the blade set is bigger and the motor is almost half as strong again. That does not simply give more wind, it gives more reach. A larger blade set pushes a wider column of air forward, and that column breaks up later. In a room you want to set moving from one point, that is the difference between reaching the far side and stopping halfway.

The practical gain after that is in the speed settings. If this model on setting one already gives you the movement a smaller one would need setting three for, you run it lower, and that is quieter and cheaper. Buying more power in order not to use it sounds odd, but it is exactly what a larger fan is for.

About the noise figure

Fertraso quotes a maximum of 44 dB for the whole Pro Deluxe range, the same for the 90 W models and the 130 W ones. So it is a figure for the range rather than a measurement per model. Expect a heavier motor at its highest setting to make itself heard more than a lighter one, and expect the lowest setting on this model to be calmer than the highest setting on the 45 cm.

Frequently asked questions

Do I need 130 W, or will 90 W do?
For a small room 90 W is enough. Take 130 W if you want to set a larger room moving from one point, or if you want to run the fan low.

Is it louder than the 45 cm?
Fertraso quotes a maximum of 44 dB for both, across the range. In practice a heavier motor makes itself heard more at the highest setting.

Does it use much power?
130 W is the maximum, at the highest setting. On a lower setting consumption is lower.

Can it run continuously?
Yes, and on a low setting that is also the best way to use it.
