Assembly was quick.The remote2 of 9
It sticks to the fan with a magnet, so it does not get lost.What annoys owners
Noise at the top speeds2 of 9
Loud on the highest settings. One owner returned it because even the lowest speed was too loud for them.The display1 of 9
Five small lights show the settings in a code you need the manual to read, and they switch off after a few seconds.Size1 of 9
Much bigger than the photos suggest. Check the measurements before you order.Returns2 of 9
Hard to take apart once built, which makes sending it back awkward.Feel1 of 9
Plasticky for the price.Buy it if you want to cool a big room and can live with the noise on Boost.
Skip it if you need silence at high speed, or you are not sure you will keep it.
£274 is the price of the pink version. The reviews cover every colour, and other colours may cost a different amount.

Two paid £123 and £160, against £217.96 today. Another bought it cheaper on Prime Day.What annoys owners
Less air than some fans2 of 8
One says it moves slightly less air than a 16-inch pedestal fan. Another says it made no difference from 1 to 2 metres away, and found it loud at the higher speeds.Night mode is the lowest speed only1 of 8
Too gentle for a very hot night.Height1 of 8
At 82.8 cm it sits at about bed height. One owner wanted it taller.The power adapter1 of 8
It got very hot and then failed. A replacement adapter fixed it. If yours gets hot, stop using it and claim under the 3-year warranty.Slow turning1 of 8
The oscillation is slow.Buy it if it's for a bedroom, and you can wait for a sale.
Skip it if you need to cool a large room fast.

Skip it if you only need a fan. The pink fan-only TurboBlade costs £90.99 less, and its owners are happier.
Watch for a second listing. Amazon UK also sells the TH200EU, the European model, at £590.99. The reviews shown on it come from buyers in Germany, Italy, France, Belgium and Turkey. We would buy the TH200UK listing.
