I bought this as I was tire of underperforming traditional fans. This is incredible. A little louder than most fans but you soon get used to it. Mine does suffer from a vibration that may be a production defect so don’t think it will last long.
What’s surprising is that due to the angle of the blower. If placed at the foot of the bed with an over hanging duvet it drives cool air under the cover producing a cool cushion of air you can relax under.
Really good item for the price – simple and effective. It’s worth noting angles are achieved by tipping whole fan rather than adjustable feet. I have positioned on a shelf about 1 meter infront of handlebars. Been using it on lowest setting while flat was cold, but yesterday cranked upto medium as I was starting to sweat & drip on my bike 🙁
Bought for my indor cycling. Can’t say anything wrong after 1 month of using. Very quiet, my is setup quite close to me so I only using first level of speed.
Delighted to pick up this air mover fan at a discounted price. Works really well for indoor cycling applications: the remote control straps easily to your stem for immediate increase or decrease of wind power. For this sweaty middle-aged guy it is plenty powerful enough. Delighted!
This fan is extremely well made and offers a powerful blast of air to keep you cool whilst exercising. The remote control is handy – no more stopping to change fan settings. I’d definitely recommend it .
I am using it with a cycle trainer and it is a huge improvement over the desk fan I was using, it produces a good stream of air that is quite focussed so it takes a bit of experimentation to optimise the position. The remote is really handy, I keep the fan OFF for the first 5 minutes to warm up fully then I turn it ON.
My noise cancelling earbuds render it silent but be aware the noise might get a bit wearing without noise cancelling.
Seems well built.
Remote control fan is absolutely great for peloton and other home exercises. I start in the early morning when I don’t want a fan on because it’s cold, but after 10 minutes I need that fan! Having the remote control mounted on the peloton bike handlebar means that I don’t have to dismount, I can start it and adjust the speed as necessary.
Fan can be positioned to blow along the ground (probably good for drying concrete), 45 degrees (how I use it) and 90 degrees (blows up your nose but I’m sure it’s good for something) – and of course you can make minor adjustments with household objects like books or rug.
Very powerful fan, lowers my heart rate which is excellent for exercise, and fairly quiet. It might be better if there were more differences in speed, eg top speed is fantastic but I’d like bottom speed to be a bit gentle
Really good fan unfortunately the remote needs to be reset now and then
I have had a month now and needed to reset twice. At first I thought it was the battery so took apart to find out which one, need a really small screw driver for this, decided to order replacement batteries just in case. The manual does suggest battery change or a new remote which is about 20 so gone for the cheaper option 10 batteries for 10.
But not as powerful as they say.it will help for summer hea
This fan is great for anyone who uses a turbo trainer. I normally use it at setting 1 or 2. Have only used setting 3 for intervals as it is like a hurricane and unless you are really going for it .you would chill.
Glad I bought i
With a bit of fettling to get the correct positioning, this thing does a great job of keeping you cool whilst on the indoor trainer.
In fact it is so powerful that at the beginning of your ride it’s almost too cold. Though that doesn’t usually last for long!
Definitely recommended as an alternative to the Wahoo Headwind at half the price.
We use this when we are on an indoor cycle trainer. Works perfectly to keep us cool. Has a number of speed settings which can be controlled remotely so does not interrupt your training session. Would highly recommend
This van be wall mounted but you would need to be a bit creative as no official mounting points. However using L shaped brackets you could hanging it off the 2 wider top feet as pictured.
In a nutshell the only fan you would need for a pain Cave and turbo trainer set up! Buy with confidence!
I bought this for my indoor cycle setup as I was generally always too hot. So far I’ve only used it on its lowest setting. The remote is great as I have it turned off during my warm up. Good bit of kit I’d recommend
The airflow is no different compared to my Wahoo Headwind, which costs twice the money. Also, the remote control is 100x more straightforward than the Wahoo app. I highly recommend this fan/blower for Zwifting.
The remote works great, I mounted it on the spacers under my stem so it is within reach, but not in the way when I change the way I hold my handlebars. Power cord is long enough as well, and I’d say it’s only slightly bigger than my Honeywell fan.
Of course, not sure how this device will last on the long term, but it’s promising, and it just made my indoor rides – in a relatively small room – a lot more enjoyable.
Remote is very handy, good blast of air keeps me cool on the bike trainer, I think its’ worth the money vs a larger fan, I value the space it saves.
Easy to set up. Powerful fan which cools me sufficiently. Handlebar mounted remote does the job. Pretty quiet operation on low and medium settings, not excessively noisy on high setting.
Bought this to use on an indoor bike setup using Zwift and what a difference they made. Highly recommended to anybody that needs a decent fan for indoor training.
I bought this specifically for cycling in my garage , it is absolutely perfect for the job .The remote control fits nicely round the handle bars and the 3 speed settings have been ample cooling for me .would definitely recommend.
I purchased this based solely on the reviews and haven’t been disappointed. Usually I will wait a period of time before reviewing a product to work out the kinks and any longer term problems.
This However is so good I couldn’t wait. The easy of use is excellent. The wind it produces is fantastic and as anyone who uses and indoor trainer and Zwift will know a good breeze is very important
The remote on the handlebar is easy to fit and easy to use. All this at this price, just superb.
Thank you
Use this fan, when I’m on my turbo (indoor bike).
First setting is like the breeze on your face, going down hill.
Second setting, going down a steeper hill.
If the third setting (highest), was a headwind, I’d turn around and go home.
Overall, best fan I’ve bought.
I’d been looking out to get this fan for a while and it does not disappoint.
Great for indoor exercise use with a direct blast of air. easy use with on/off and speed controls with the remote
Was considering this and a Wahoo Headwind. Having read reviews on both I decided to save myself some cash and bought the Cardio54. Even at high speed it is relatively quiet and it does a great job of blasting air at you! The remote is super easy to use and saves messing around with yet another phone App. It has a small footprint too, so would suit if you have limited space but want some heavyweight cooling.
Would definitely recommend.
I got this after hearing so many positive recommendation. I’m very happy with this purchase.
Put very simply, this thing could blow the barnacles off a ship at 20 paces!
Ok a slight exaggeration, but it is very powerful for such a compact unit.
I have it about a foot and a half in front of my indoor bike trainer, and the 45 degree angle is pretty much perfect to blow around my body and face
It also has two other orientations, starting at 0 degrees (blowing along the floor – good for drying out wet carpet) and 90 degrees (blowing straight up)
45 degrees will almost certainly be the main use
The remote is very easy to use.. literally 4 buttons.
On/Off, 1,2,3 power settings
Took no time at all to get it plugged in, placed in front of my bike, fix the remote to my bars and set it off going.
In terms of power, 1 is strong…. 3 is likely too much unless you move it further away
Really impressed overall.
I marked it down a point on VFM because a cool hundo is a lot of money for anything these days, but if you’re an indoor training enthusiast, I’m sure you cannot go wrong with this blower and it’s worth stretching the extra
This is like being in a wind storm. Amazing.i use it for spinning.total game changer.i was sceptical before ordering it but now very very impressed .if overheating slows you down .go for this .keeps me on my bike at least 30 minutes longer now
Works well in front on my treadmill , mostly have it on the lowest setting and makes running much more enjoyable. Would recommend
This is a great fan. Its powerful, robust anddoes what it says on the tin.
I was thinking of getting the wahoo fan which was much more expensive but came across this and bought it instead. I am pleased with it so far, it is pretty powerful and has 3 different speeds which does the job for me. I use it when on the turbo trainer and when using my treadmill. The strap that attaches the remote to the bar is really helpful also as you have the controls to adjust the fan at your fingertips.
Used for cooling while Zwifting. Gives a narrow but powerful blast. I’ve not had to use the fastest setting yet but it maybe useful for future races or TTs.
Thought it was a little pricey, but after using in our gym and home it’s worth every penny
Delivery next day
Absolutely awesome performance that’s also quie
This fan is very strong due to the snail design, great in the workplace or home. Easy to transport due to size
Bought for spin biking but works anywhere in the house. Quiet and almost hilariously powerful. Highly recommended if you want to move a lot of highly focused air.
I bought this to keep cool whilst running and think it’s absolutely amazing. You can run so much better when kept cool.
It’s literally plug & play. Easy set up and with the remote. Just so good
Every treadmill should have one!
Excellent piece of kit well suited to indoor rowing, cycling or running. Prob not as useful for dancing etc because the beam is fairly tight. Not too noisy and remote control is easy to mount on the apparatus. The remote control buttons are large and easy to use with sweaty fingers -just not terribly logically arranged. Are they worth buying? Well I have bought 3 so they must be.
Great piece of kit. Worked straight from the box without issue. Great cooling.
Having seen several people recommend this on a Wattbike forum, I took the plunge and ordered one. I can honestly say it makes a huge difference to indoor training. The remote control is a godsend, get yourself up to temperature and then switch on the fan. I find that speed 1 is enough to keep me cool. No doubt I will be trying out 2 & 3 during the summer months.
I even ordered my girlfriend one for her hot sweats.
Order one, you won’t be disappointed.
I bought one as a budget version of a well known indoor trainer specific fan. This works well provided the fan direction is set up right, as it has a narrow operating window. Price is competitive for what it is; anything indoor training marketed will be marked up.
The product does what it says on the tin very well and at a fraction of the price of some well known competitors. I use it for indoor cycling training and racing indoors. Even the first setting absolutely blasts air at you. Another fantastic addition is a remote control on a wrist type strap. I have this on my handlebar and it makes for really easy and convenient control of the fan setting. Very happy with my purchase.
Really easy to use with the supplied remote. Comprehensive manual includes how to pair a new remote. Good strong airflow helps keep the sweat at bay. Construction seems robust. I’ve got quite a small space so have to raise the fan on a very small stool to get it just right. Fan remote is the selling feature here it allows warm up at lower settings then you can ramp up without getting off the bike. But you pay a premium vs a similar fan without the remote.
I use this when training on my Turbo trainer.
If the ambient is under 10 degrees Celcius, the fan is too good, even on speed setting 1.
It chills you to the core.
With the remote it’s easy to turn off and back on when you’re doing an effort and need the extra cooling.
Bought for using when on the turbo it’s great, Yes it’s expensive, but it’s well made and it genuinely made me cold!
The fan is very powerful and works well. Noise level is OK and the remote is very handy. Ideal for indoor cycling as flow perfectly focused for that purpose. Would have been nice to have a slightly weaker strength as well as fan settings very strong.
You can’t compare it to a desk or a pedestal fan. It actually feels like you’re riding with a wonderful (strong) breeze and I just finished an hours ride and a 1,000m climb without a pool of sweat and loads of energy left.
I’m looking forward to seeing how it will impact my times now I’m not putting so much energy into generating so much wasted heat.
At half the price of the Kickr headwind it does everything that you need it too, albeit:
– it’s not as good looking and
– it is just a vacmaster with a remote control and not much thought has been given to its design
If they were going to actually design this for its said purpose, it would probably have:
– a square or more vertical air outlet instead of horizontal one
– 4 speed settings with one a bit lower than the lowest now.
– a few different tilt options instead of just flat, 45 degrees and vertical. The one missing is something at 22.5 degrees if you want to place it on a desk in front of you.
– a bit of love to the design to make it look a bit more aesthetically pleasing (it kind of looks like a large mechanical snail under my desk albeit it is small for what it does and very portable)
All that being said, it’s totally brilliant and I’m not going to give it away or send it back!
Mine is at 45 degrees on the floor directly in front of the bike (I had to move my makeshift table at handlebar height to one side side so it didn’t block the wind) and it hits my head and chest pretty much spot on, although here it would have been nice to have had more vertical coverage.
Reality is that presently, I can’t see anything else that works as well as this for the price and it hands down beats 2-3 well positioned pedestal fans.
In summary: Fans will produce some air movement, this thing creates wind!
Edit: I’m now averaging 10-15% higher FTP with the impact being seen in a reduced
time on a 1,000m climb (alpe du zwift) from 1hr6 to 56.5mins and 8th on the 30 day leaderboard because of this thing. No pool of sweat and much quicker recovery.
4.5 stars for a superb rock solid produc
The remote control on this fan makes it worth the extra money and the power is very good. The lowest level is on a par to the max level on my previous fan and the highest level is enough to keep anyone cool even in the sweatiest conditions.
I was unsure on this due to the cost but it’s been the best purchase I’ve made this winter, anyone who rides a turbo, uses treadmills or even has a warm home gym, this is definitely the fan for you.
wow is all I can say. if you want an indoor fan for stationary cycling this is amazing. I’ve had it a month now and haven’t even had to use its strongest setting yet. really strong focused blast of air. easy to tilt and direct on to you. I really can’t fault this bit of kit. buy direct from the maker though as cheaper I found after I’d bought it.
Having spent the last year sweating my way through countless peloton rides this fan is amazing yes I still sweat but not half as much the remote control is great. I start with the fan off or I’m to cold, then up the levels the further into the ride I get.100% recommend even my wife raves about it.
If you can only have 1 fan, just get this. I don’t have any reference to other cycling fans but this makes a drastic improvement over no fans.
The spread of the air could be greater but I’m nitpicking.
This is the best cooling fan ever…remote and set up is stupid easy you turn on and go. The cooling is so good once you have it pointed in the right point or location. Once you set up you’ll just want a 2nd or 3rd lol…Best 100 spent…
I use it for indoor cycling. Easy to set up and use. Strong air circulation. Vent is aimed up so it blows right where I need it. Nice long cord for easy placement of device where you want it. Remote works well.
Slightly more expensive than the non remote version but worth the money. able to strart the Zwfit session on a lower power and increase as I get hotter. I have had no issues with this product and have actually used it to help paint dry in a bedroom we were repainting.
The wahoo version is twice the price – and arguable twice as pretty – but does the same job. For this in the know that are now saying the wahoo Varys with you heart rate or pace – this is true but when you got inside it doesn’t matter if you heart rate or speed has dropped you just don’t cool as quick so you need a constant strong blast of cool air.
The remote gives the control of on/off and speed you need and works seamlessly. It has a few different resting angles to give you half a chance at getting the air in just the right direction but this has a wide vertical spread – head to stomach from 1.5m away I’d say and is very powerful! Best 100 I’ve spent for my indoor exercise
Positives:
The power levels are perfect for indoor cycle training,
It’s much quieter than any other fan I’ve used, given the power on the top setting it’s very reasonable,
The remote is straight forward and easy to use, and the strap is quite robust,
For the price I couldn’t be happier, wish I’d bought this earlier, instead of wasting money on cheaper and poorer alternatives.
Negatives:
There isn’t any, it’s just simply a great produc
Great like fan, small and light so easy to store away. Remote control so able to control while on my bike on the turbo trainer. No negatives to write about.
Tried normal fans which were ok, but the remote control is transformational. The ability to warm up with no fan running, then as soon as you are ready you can turn it on with the remote. Level 1 is good for normal rides, level 2 I’ve only used when really making an effort.
This is more expensive than a standard fan, but definitely worth it.
Fantastic peloton bike accessory, nice airflow to rider and controllable from handlebars. If only it was less noisy. Need to turn up the peloton a click. If you wear headphones then all will be good
Really good fan for indoor cycling. Remote works well, have 3 different speeds plus on/off button. Great to be able to warm up without the fan on, then gradually increase the fan speed as I need it. Recommended
Really does make training indoors much more comfortable. It has 3 settings and at max throws out a crazy amount of air. The remote works great and fits to my handlebars making it easy to control without reaching for other surfaces.
The only real down side to the product is the fans arc of movement is restricted to three set points but they do cover most scenarios.
Great product, I’ve rarely needed the 3rd fan speed!
Maybe a little pricey for a fan, but once you have it you will wonder how you lived with out!
Keeps you cool when cycling. On the highest setting it is actually too cold!
Easy to use and so much more powerful to than a normal fa
This fan is absolutely perfect for using with an indoor trainer. I took a bit of a punt on this after not being able to find a powerful remote controlled fan anywhere in Australia. This goes one step further with the remote that attaches to the handlebar. I can get my warmup done and then get the fan going, except now I can do it without leaning over to switch the fan on! Fan speed is strong even on setting 1 of 3, with 3 kept for those moments when you really need some next level cooling.
Would it be nicer if it had more speed settings? Maybe, but 3 is sufficient.
Would it be nicer if it had more tilting options? Probably, but that would affect the stability of the unit and I’ve been able to easily point it where I want it by raising it off the floor slightly and moving it around until it was where I wanted it.
Would it be easier if it came with an AU plug? Probably, but it came with a UK one and I’m just using a travel adapter. Certainly not a deal breaker. It’s not like any of us are going to be travelling internationally any time soon
All in all I’m very happy with it. Definitely worth a couple of hundred dollars.
Perfect fan for the peloton bike. Remote makes use all the easier. Would recommend
I start my ride, warm up then switch it on to one, then 2 when making an effort. I tried setting 3 but not needed it yet during a workout. I kept the box as it makes a handy stand for the fan to sit on and I find it’s an ideal height and have it just to the side at 2 o-clock position which works well for me. I have tried other fans but none have been as good as this one,and wish I had found it sooner as would have saved me money in the long run.If you are looking at a few fans don’t be put off by the price of this because it is that good.
If you Zwift, or other virtual trainer platforms, buy this… its replaced my two Honeywell fans.
Provides a superb air flow for when I am working out on the bike, helps keep you cool. Easy to control with the remote, set the angle for the airflow and use the remote to control the speed of the air. Also good for cooling a room. Would recommend.
Really like the power and (relative) quiet of this fan, with the handy remote control. It has transformed my cycling sessions by keeping the heat down in the Summer. Excellent value and very pleased with this purchase.
Powerful easy to control way better than any normal fan highly recommend
Great bit of kit. Bought direct as there was a discount code however my review would be that it’s very powerful, quiet and perfect for indoor training. The bar mounted remote is easy to use. Easy to dial in the direction of flow
So far so good – loving the remote control and it is certainly very powerful – if anything, maybe even slightly too powerful on the lowest setting
Only negative is that is only has 3 angles – horizontal, vertical and 45 degrees – so you might need to wedge something under it to tilt it at exactly – if it was more easily adjustable would be 5 sta
