Product description of the manufacturer
The WOWDSGN table fan is aimed at consumers who are looking for a compact, quiet and powerful air circulation solution for living or working spaces during the hot summer months. The appliance impresses with its modern look, a powerful air flow rate of up to 6.3 m/s and three adjustable speed settings. The extremely quiet operation is particularly pleasant, making it suitable for use even in the bedroom. Thanks to the adjustable angle of inclination and automatic oscillation, the air flow can be customised.
In addition, however, a greater range at a high air setting would have been desirable, as the promised twelve metres could not be fully achieved in our test. However, the WOWDSGN remains a very good choice for small to medium-sized rooms.
Advantages
- Powerful airflow
- Low-noise operation
Disadvantages
- Limited range

The WOWDSGN table fan arrived in compact, sturdy packaging that was perfectly matched to the size of the product. No unnecessary packaging material was used, but plastic film and foam elements were included, which served to protect the product but could be improved in terms of sustainability.
The product was completely undamaged on arrival – no scratches, no transport damage – and appeared ready for immediate use. The scope of delivery fully complied with the manufacturer’s specifications and the fan could be used without assembly. A multilingual operating manual (German, English, Spanish, French) was included, although this was hardly necessary due to the intuitive operation. Overall, the product makes a well thought-out and user-friendly first impression when unpacking, which makes you want to test it.

In the practical test, the WOWDSGN table fan was able to fulfil many of its promises. The quiet operation, which is barely audible at 24 dB (level 1), should be emphasised in particular. Level 2 also remains pleasantly quiet, ideal for the bedroom or concentrated work environments. Only at level 3 does the noise level become noticeable at around 45 dB, which is still within the acceptable range for everyday use. The oscillation runs smoothly and does not cause any additional noise.
In terms of airflow performance, the fan partially fulfils expectations. While the manufacturer claims a range of twelve metres, we were able to determine a maximum of eight metres in the test, with a really strongly perceptible effect up to a distance of approx. three metres. Nevertheless, the airflow was powerful and even, especially on the highest setting.
The appliance also proved to be reliable in terms of safety and stability: No wobbling or falling over – neither during operation nor in the event of accidental shocks. The safety grille provides reliable protection if the fan is accidentally knocked. Another highlight was the ease of cleaning: both the rotor and the grille can be easily removed and cleaned. Another positive aspect was that there was no significant heat development, even during longer running times.
Overall, the WOWDSGN table fan fully met or even exceeded our expectations in most categories – only the airflow range was slightly less than advertised.
