Heat Removed.

Hmmm, Hadn't seen Cherie Blair since Chilcot came out

That reminds me, must chuck out those out of date condoms

The controller seems to work ok, slowing the fan down to a stop with the adjustment knob fully anticlockwise, the there is admittedly a 'hum' which emanates from the fan motor when this is used at certain speeds.

They work by electronically chopping the normally smooth sinusoidal input voltage waveform, removing a greater section of it for an evermore slower speed. However this chopped waveform results in the 'hum' you can now hear from the motor

At certain speeds though, the hum is quiet enough to be 'drowned out' by the normal flan blade noise.

Plugged fan controller into wall socket, & then the fan into its output socket.
Switched fan onto low power output button - with the fan controller knob turned fully clockwise - full output power - the fan went to normal speed. Then by gradually turning the knob anticlockwise, the speed reduced to a gentle waft until finally stopping when fully anticlockwise.

Just plug fan into this (£10-) controller & Bobs you're quieter relation - Just Bought One - Will let you know if it works by tomorrow :sunglasses:

Ordered mine Friday evening with standard postage. Received today! (Mon) very quick delivery.

It's a well built fan for the money that's for sure though I do agree to it being pretty noisy which is the speed of the fans rotating not the bearings. It is a High velocity fan however so to be expected and won't be moaning if we get another heat spell. (Day use)
Just need a quieter low wattage one now to keep me cool while I sleep.

*Shame there isn't a slightly lower setting as that would make the world of difference.

Now down to the last 768 - Get them while you can :smile:

Got this delivered. Nice fan but very loud one. but worth at this price.

Turned mine on yesterday and it blew our Yorkshire Terrier away.

got mine today. great airflow on first setting

super delivery and service too

Just got mine this thing is great !! thank op

Have to say I'm really impressed with CPC Farnell's service.
Good price and super fast delivery.

Mine came the next day! what a bargain!!

yes i choose free delivery and it came early next day i was very happy about that

Purchased a 2nd yesterday and arrived promptly this afternoon, for anyone ordering don't bother paying for next day as standard delivery also seems to be next day also which others have also confirmed too.

does not matter how I put it in, it will not let me order this!!!

Have tried 4 times now, is a joke

ordered 2 did only receive one till i phoned up. annoys me as i paid for next day delivery for both not one anf then get other one on a before 12pm delivery next day

ordered 2 did only receive one till i phoned up. annoys me as i paid for next day delivery for both not one anf then get other one on a before 12pm delivery next day. not a good service

​Made my day!

Thanks OP. Bro ordered one and just received it today. Crazy Power.

Looks like an AVS decline, we are amending the wording around this soon as its simply misleading. Basically, the address is not a perfect match vs. what your bank have on record so we get an auth code from the bank that indicates as much, most of the time its absolutely fine - basically, it should say "great, thanks for the order, if we have any issues we will contact you about it" instead of our slightly too draconian "computer says no / danger Will Robinson"...

Hope that helps :smiley:

why do I get this when ordering

We confirm that your order has been received, however your credit card has been declined. This order has been sent through to our Contact Centre where a member of staff will contact you within our normal office hours on the number you provided to discuss an alternative method of payment

Mine turned up. Superb air flow, much better than your bog standard fan. Yes it's nosier, but acceptable in an office/living room in lower speed settings. And then when it gets really hot you'll happily accept the noise for being cool.

No brainer between this and your average fan.

There was over 3k in stock when this first was posted

there is now 1,269 In stock , over 1500 sold in days!!!!

Thanks op
​

Mine from CPC arrived today and well pleased with it. Might strap it to my back as it would lift you on high setting (ha)

Cant go wrong with a bit of lube on an 18 incher

Well 85db is not quiet either and price is not 30quid :smile:

These fans are so good, I ordered 3 more today :smiley:

The 20" one turned up today, it's 200W. It's moved all the dust in my flat around.

ta ordered the 20 in. don't care about noise too much

Arrived here too, good at keeping cool but is a little noisy. I wonder if lubing the bearing would help....?

Same here - free delivery yet arrives day after :smiley:

As mentioned, there's a low hum even on the lowest setting, so not exactly silent, but quieter than some and most importantly it really shifts some air.

Mine just came in, I did not pay for next day either, very impressed.

I will admit that it is fairly loud but is seems to move more air on its 1st setting than most do on max.

Just received mine also, after paying £45 for my Bionaire fan about 2 years this blows it away literally.

First button setting is more than enough and really not as loud as people make out.

Really happy with this.

Ordered the 20" yesterday after 4:30pm, went for 3-5 day delivery.

Tracking on UPS website said they'd tried to deliver it today; just after 11am. Will have to rearrange delivery for tomorrow & arrange for someone to sign for it.

Can't fault them for their quick delivery, just wished they'd sent a despatch email.

just got mine very pleased with it ..i paid for next day very pleased with CPC great job ...the fan is really good not that loud at all

Went for the 20" at £29.40 myself. Anyone got that one?

did you get tracking details emailed to you ?

Bought one of these last year, it is a BEAST. Couldn't have got through the last few days without it. Heat.

If you can find one!! #wildgoosechase

Ordered yesterday, just got mine. Great service!

If you want to opt-out of the pesky catalogue, e-mail [email protected] asking for them to stop sending it (be nice though, they are humans after all!) and include your account number, which is in your CPC settings.

Pro-Elec is one of CPC's own brand names, and CPC is a division of Premier Farnell

Received mine about an hour ago.
Ordered yesterday and paid £2.99 for next day delivery.
Fan is fantastic, not too loud as some were suggesting, but I suppose each to their own.
It circulates the air in room brilliantly.
The branding on mine is Pro Elec.

Mine came about 10 minutes ago. Didn't pay extra for next day. Came via UPS so super impressed with CPC. Appears very good quality. Its noisy at the highest setting (and not exactly quiet on the lowest) but keeps the air in the room circulated. This is not a fan for the bedroom due to the noise. Very pleased.

That's what I meant about their weird pricing structure & the way you can get cheaper prices by putting the 2 extra digits at the end - Its always been like that -very frustrating when ordering from their main site as you dont know if the same item is cheaper in the current monthly sale catalogue :neutral_face:

Anyway, my fan has just been delivered (FREE) via UPS, approx 36 hours after ordering - and as you can imagine - Its Fantastic !!
Very Powerful, & only really very noisy if you put your head right into the breeze.
Put it at one end of the room and it circulates the air throughout
Very Impressed - Well done me for posting the deal :stuck_out_tongue:

All the more impressed that we've still got the heatwave today to make use of it (Shropshire)

Bought one of these fans. Thanks for the link. The weird thing is that if you browse their website you can't locate this fan but you will find another one the same size but much more expensive. But if you follow the link from hotdealsuk you will get the cheaper priced one. Thanks!

Its Fixed - Just sits on the floor -Stays where put - Makes a big Blowy Noise :sunglasses:

Hi does anyone know if this fan is fixed and stays in the same position or does it rotate and move from side to side. Thanks.

​I just paid for the next day courier too ... hope it comes tomoro tho as I have ordered v late

Can't believe that Sainsburys selling this for £12.99 as someone has posted. Already order mine from this post.

Same here, one email and I haven't received any further catalogues. Great fan by the way, got one last year, just sitting in the cooling draught as I type.

It's wind powered

True it distributes the paper all over the place - far quicker than the work experience lad.

Just what we all need by the look of the voting - can't wait to blow the hot air all over the place.

However the American heavily modified Sikorsky UH-60 Black Hawk that went on a mission to catch Bin Laden in his grounds had some very quiet rota blades.

unless its a Dyson!!!!!!

I have a 12"(ooer Missus!) And it's excellent. My only worry is that as soon as I push the Confirm button a freak July Blizzard will be upon us. I'll stick to carrying it up and down the Stairs to spare us all. #yourewelcome

Had one of these, way to loud...... Best for an office with no air con

This is the first time I've seen a hot fan

Maybe by blown off he meant ignored, at this temp I'd rather sit with the fan also?

Bought one from John Lewis last year for £40, which looks exactly the same, fantastic cooling but too noisy.

Heat added, but I bet it's **** it down by the time they arrive

So people want hight velocity fan and no noise? Seems like somebody did not attend physics classes :smile:

thanks for posting! Cool :sunglasses:

8/10 for the setup, 3/10 for the execution. Even Urban Dictionary says you're going to be disappointed :disappointed:

Bought two and paid a little extra for the next day delivery so should be with me tomorrow.

I'll update with my opinion on them when they arrive.

This work's a treat at work, it so loud that it'll block off all the nonsense chit chat.

My girlfriend has been complaining that things keep getting blown off when using this. I've now ordered one for every room - I'm looking forward to getting blown off every time I enter a room :smile:

Do I need to add a pair of ear defenders to my basket if I use this?

:sunglasses:

ordered but I worry the heat will be gone by the time it arrives.

Had one of these years ago.Sounded like a Spitfire in my living room!!! :confused:

I have a similar fan, 20" I think. It's noisy as hell

Were you expecting British made ones?

£30 in Tesco with next day collection of needed in a hurry

Bought a month or so ago. Sounds like an aircraft taking off, cannot be used at night if u plan to sleep. Even in another room or downstairs you can hear the thing.

Not true I don't get any spam or post. I had one catalogue with my initial order years ago and then sent an email to "Email your Account Number or Address details to [email protected]" and haven't had one since I do get the odd email every month or so which I don't class as spam

True!!!!!!!

Probably adds a small amount. Insignificant I suppose.

Better way to cool a house is to get some airflow going from downstairs to upstairs (if thats applicable). Open a downstairs window and place a fan near the window facing inwards and place one upstairs facing towards an open window.

In our old home we had a 'whole of house fan system' which is basically a large slow spinning fan downstairs (in wall) and a similar one in the loft, but blowing outwards. Cooler air is sucked around, keeping the temperature bearable. Works much better than a noisy fan like these.

Yeah you buy something once from CPC and you'll be collecting their catalogues for life. If you say 'no', they send you even more stuff.

I like the way you think :-)

No it isn't, it's just blown around the room...

Thanks OP, bought for my stupidly hot apartment. Hopefully it'll help get the air moving out the damn velux('s?)!

You are wrong. You have conflated average velocity with velocity. If something is moving, it can't have a velocity of zero (this is pretty basic). Try this http://www.algebralab.org/lessons/lesson.aspx?file=trigonometry_triganglinvelocity.xml

The spinning part of the fan has angular velocity and we can take any point on that spinning part and calculate its linear velocity. Similarly each point on the spinning part has a speed and the overall spinning part has a rotational speed, which you could measure in RPM.

So either "high speed" or "high velocity" are suitable descriptions of this fan.

Paid £40 about 2 years ago from screwfix as needed it every time I stayed at my nans. Works well. So bought another 2 with next day delivery. Will put couple of freezer ice blocks to add a little chill.

Ironic that this has gone hot :wink:

If it doesn't arrive today you might as well wait until next year ^^

I bought one of these last year and CPC have relentlessly sent me their catalogue every 2 weeks even though I've requested they stop. Just a heads up.

Brilliant.

​hey dude, to be honest I haven't a clue about the deal!! I was just trolling some guy for a laugh lol

Heat added thank you. Ordered.

That fan's not plugged in, so how is it talking??? Something's not right here...

It's a FAN.. tastic deal!!

Have some of my heat........ please.

Ta, ordered

Ordered!! Thanks :stuck_out_tongue:

Apparently Albert used to use this fan, he agreed with all the technical information supplied above.

Sorry mate, I have no idea.
I bought the 18 inch one.

Just bought the bigger version (2000 square inches vs 2500 for the 20" model) but any idea what the power draw's like?

Thanks OP just ordered, only 3007 left in stock.

High velocity. Re: Air displacement

Also it never travels back from b to a, just continually from a to b

It depends where you're going to use it. If angle A divided by angle G is greater than the subliminal partification of the sub sector 1/e2 within your house then yes, you need it, if not, I guess it depends on the coaxial of your spacial quadronics.

Hope that helps :smiley:

Heat Removed.

Great price but you have to phone CPC as they junk mail bomb you with offers via Royal Mail.

I was about t pull the trigger on this but I'm now confused... is this still a good deal :confused: ?

Rizza

Since you're being picky...

Yes :man:

Ordered. Thanks + heat :-)

sunshine, I studied Physics and did pretty well at it too... and velocity is a VERY basic element of Physics​. velocity takes into consideration displacement not distance. displacement takes into consideration direction. if an object travels A to B they could have a positive displacement. then when the object travels back from B to A then the object has a negatives displacement. displacement overall in the journey is thus zero. the velocity as a result is zero because it has taken the displacement into consideration. the speed on the other hand takes into consideration the distance. distance traveled can never be negative. so distance from A to B then from B to A will not be zero. I don't need to read such a basic level of physics thank you very much. you can if you want... that's your choice

Thankyou. Order placed.

Went for the £29.99 deal at Screwfix. Picking it up on the way home as summer will be over by the time CPC deliver.

just ordered and for next day too :smirk:

Read the definition of Velocity under Physics and then tell me again.

Is you fan moving its placement/position over time from A to B? then yes Velocity otherwise...

​high speed dude... technically speaking velocity = 0

Angular or Linear???

Ive had an account with CPC for over 20 years now & it used to be around 95% next day delivery, but since they did the Free Delivery for anything over £5, its been more like 3-4 days.
Cant really complain though - only paid services like Amazon Prime can beat that

Bought this fan a couple of years ago, was only talking about getting a second one last night and then this pops up. Fantastic fan with good air movement, however if you have a kitten and have this on the floor and the kitten tries running past it will take an unintended detour as ours discovered :smile: He now entices the older cat to chase him then just stops short of the fan so the older one overshoots and ends up in the airflow

This is sorely tempting in this blistering heat. Anyone know how long they take to deliver? If it's anything other than next day I can see it arriving just after the heatwave has passed....

Good price. Thanks OP.

Thanks, heat taken away!

Thanks for the post. just bought one.

This is a good deal - I paid £29.99 from Screwfix and B&Q had them up for £46!!??!

Nice find Op, just ordered one For my mum, but looks like I'll have to give up mine till it arrives(when it's cooler lol) heat added

Thanks OP. Ordered. Heat added.

Last year these sold out and weren't restocked at all so don't expect them to get more stock in this year! :disappointed:

I just tried to buy one and the wheel keeps spinning and spinning at the payment screen ummmmm

I'm a fan

High Velocity OR High Speed ???

The 20 inch version of this fan is on sale for £41.75. But if you add the '68' digits onto the end of part number HG00663 (HG006666368) then it takes the price down to £29.40.

http://cpc.farnell.com/pro-elec/fe-50/fan-20-high-velocity/dp/HG0066368?ost=HG0066368&selectedCategoryId=&searchView=table&iscrfnonsku=false
Maybe helpful to some.

That reminds me, must chuck out those out of date condoms

Being a tight of bottom fella and living in the north east I shall refrain, really could use one ATM but 2 or 3 days use out of 365 a year doesn't make it a necessity.

110w for the screwfix one but at 110w might even be more efficient, it works exactly the same as a PC fan, double the amperage sometime but same or even less efficiency as the 50% less amperage fan

The Amazon link was just a third party seller, no reviews which looks like they never sold it
Heat anyway

Have a 20inch already but ordered this one too. thank you heat added

This is what they use to dry a warehouse after it floods.... heat added.

Have some heat! Oh wait :smile:

Hmmm, Hadn't seen Cherie Blair since Chilcot came out

Fan Club Rule #1 - The Noisier the Fan - The more Air getting shifted :smirk:
(Unless its bearings are totally buggered)

I purchased one of these last week; terrific at moving air around with the only downside (slight) being the noise. Great for rapid cooling though and great value.

Seems the CPC website is under maintenance straight after I Bought & posted this Fan Deal.
They had over 3400 in stock as of 15 minutes ago, so keep trying as the heatwave will soon be gone :sunglasses:
