“Best fan I ever had”

Reviews on the Kmart website are overwhelmingly positive, with users praising its effectiveness. One satisfied reviewer says, “Best fan I ever had. A bit loud on full speed, but I only have it on full speed when I have a house full, so not a distraction, wrote on reviewer. 

Another added: “Excellent fan! It’s a little noisy, but if you don’t mind white noise – it’s well worth it.

Social media echoes the sentiment, with a TikTok user raving about its features.

“I went to Kmart and got myself this cute little fan, and it was $99, and I don’t have a/c in my room,” she says.

“Needed something other than a normal spinning fan. It’s not bad when it comes to the noise, and I don’t mind it. It also has four fan functions on it. It’s got a timer, and you can rotate it. It has the LED light on, or you can turn it off. 

“To be honest, it does a good job.” 

Her followers were quick to comment, with some saying they had the same fan and were very happy with it.

“Dyson knockoff & it’s excellent for Kmart,” wrote one person. 

Another added: “This is amazing. I grabbed one. It’s awesome … I got another today ❤️Thank you.”

Is the Kmart fan as good as a Dyson?

But is it as good as Dyson? Another commenter asked.

“I don’t even know what the Dyson one looks or feels like, so I can’t compare.”

In saying that, CHOICE has done their homework testing Kmart’s fans against Dyson and says that if you can’t afford a Dyson, a Kmart fan is “a great alternative.”
