Product Information

Obviously, the main reason for buying a fan is because you want it to keep you cool. So next up was measuring the MeacoFan 1056 Air Circulator's cooling powers, and from the minute I turned this fan on – even on its lowest setting of 1 – its cooling effect is instantly noticeable.

Many people don’t want to wake up cold in the middle of the night, if that is you then use the Off Timer on the fan and the fan will turn off after say three hours to ensure you don’t wake up feeling too cold. Some customers want a fan that uses a light to provide a dim glow in the bedroom at night, others want no light at all. With the MeacoFan you have the choice and can turn the lights on or off as you prefer. However, ideally, the power source needs to be capable of supplying at least 2.0A of current. When we tried the fan with a phone’s 1.0A adapter it reset itself, and the USB port in a 2018 VW Tiguan temporarily shut down when we tried to take the fan beyond speed 11. Why buy the MeacoFan 650 Air Circulator? Meaco utilises a jet aircraft-type funnelling system for its fans which focuses the air blast forward instead of it dissipating in a wider arc like most standard fans. This means you can really feel the air on your face from a good distance away, especially when at full bore. It certainly feels more powerful than any Dyson model when used from a similar distance and this is an important factor to consider, especially when your skin is slowly dissolving in a heatwave. The MeacoFan 650 has a DC motor and seems to be remarkably efficient. We measured power consumption of just 1 watt at its slowest setting, rising to only 8 watts at the maximum – roughly the range between recharging a phone and turning on a low-energy lightbulb.

We use DC technology to power our fans because we believe it gives you the best performance and helps your fan to last longer. We’ve used this technology across a number of our products because it delivers: Both models come with 12 fan speeds – from an ultra gentle breeze to a full-blown gale – and both feature a room thermometer, a timer, a night light and a mode called Eco that automatically adjusts the speed of the fan according to the room’s temperature. On its lowest setting (that admittedly delivers substantially more airflow than the Duux Whisper Flex Ultimate Fan's lowest setting) the MeacoFan 1056 creates 20dB of noise. This increases to 60dB on its highest and most powerful speed setting. However, it's also the type of noise that can affect how distracting a fan is to run. Whilst the MeacoFan is just audible on its lower settings, there is no hint of any droning noise, and even on its highest settings the acoustics are of gushing air, rather than the mechanical headache-inducing drone most of us probably associate with fan noise.

The remote control makes operation from your bed nice and simple. The fan will also not bleep when it stops because we know that you don’t want a bleep waking you up! The digital display is also a nice touch, informing you of the temperature in your space so you can decide whether you need to turn the fan on or just open a window. As you can see from the image below, the space in which we tested the MeacoFan 650 definitely got warm enough to warrant a little help! MeacoFan 650 Air Circulator: Our Verdict This fan is ideal for homes, offices and anywhere that a low-noise cooling fan can help to keep you and your family at a comfortable temperature. Power it from the mains or from a USB connection, giving you access to perfect cooling wherever you are.The final impressive setting is the ECO mode. When this is turned on the fan utilises its ability to detect the ambient room temperature, and automatically changes the fan speed in response. So at under 23°c it will run on speed setting 2, once the mercury rises to 23-35°c it auto-switches up to setting 4, all the way up to over 33°c when it will run on setting 12. A great way to maintain your cool, and save energy usage, without constantly faffing with settings. Verdict They've also added functionality that makes using your fan as easy as possible. This includes a carry handle so it's easy to move around and remote control to operate the fan from across the room, or from bed if the fan is in your bedroom. There's a timer switch so that you can ask the fan to turn itself off during the night, making sure you don't wake up cold, and there's a clever ECO mode, which sets the fan to regulate itself depending on the room temperature. The MeacoFan 650 is a smaller version of the best-selling MeacoFan 1056. We’ve developed a scaled-down model with a smaller base, making it even more suitable to place on a bedside table for bedroom cooling. The 650 is even quieter than its larger counterpart, starting at just 20dB, is built with the same energy efficient DC technology and has auto-off functionality so you can get a good night’s sleep in the summer, safe in the knowledge that the fan will turn itself off during the night without disturbing you. The MeacoFan 650 Air Circulator is a powerful and ultra-quiet fan ideal for use with inverter-powered power banks. It features an impressive airflow of up to 650m3/hour, making it the ideal choice for indoor air circulation. With a reliable 2-year warranty, users can rely on long-term performance with peace of mind.

All Meaco products come with a two year parts and labour warranty, as well as the option of extending warranty to five years. Technical Specifications Brand All MeacoFan products come with a two-year warranty, as well as the option of extending to five years. Fan performance: Even on its lowest setting, this fan moves a lot of air – you can feel the breeze even at some distance. On maximum, it’s deeply impressive. Sound performance: On minimum you can barely hear this fan, making it great for hot summer nights. Flat out it’s still comparatively quiet; it’s never harsh or intrusive. The MeacoFan 650 has a DC motor, and seems to be remarkably efficient. We measured power consumption of just 1 watt at its slowest setting, rising to only 8 watts at the maximum – roughly the range between recharging a phone and turning on a low-energy lightbulb.In summary: If you want a powerful and unobtrusive desk fan, and don’t want to spend a lot more on a product such as the Dyson Pure Cool Me, the MeacoFan 650 Air Circulator is a brilliant choice. Once on, you can press the Speed button and increase the fan speed through 12 power settings – more than enough to find the exact setting for your preferences. Turn the fan off and it will remember your preferred power setting when you turn the fan on again.

That’s an impressive performance, particularly at range, for such a small fan, although as this is a desktop model, it’s unlikely that you’ll be using it at such distance.Use and features: You get a remote, night mode, a six-hour timer and a useful temperature-sensing Eco mode. There’s horizontal oscillation, too, but the tilt adjustment is manual. If you use the remote, then you also have the additional option to turn off the illuminated display on the base via the Light button, which is perfect for nighttime use if you want to run the fan in a bedroom.
