My wife and I bought one after a salesman at John Lewis said he owned it. He gave an excellent demonstration on its benefits. Got home and got it working. So good we bought another one online for my son. As others have rightly stated this fan is very quiet. Perfect for the bedroom at night. Which my wife loves. Excellent video. Finally this is a very well designed fan. Look forward to purchasing the case cover!
I've had it for almost 2 years and still going strong. Absolutely love it.
It’s very rare these days for a company to have such love for a brand. Whomever I speak to rave about their Meaco products and have to say, it’s not just hype. Great fan, love my dehumidifier and whilst I’m more of a no instructions person, videos from manufacturers such as this can really help people that are more apprehensive of taking things apart. Keep it up Meaco
Sir, I found this an excellent video.
It is a delight to see that there are people making products for the customer first.
Started looking up fans during current hot weather. Ceiling fan recently removed. This was recommended by Which. Nice to see a unpretentious presentation like this. The movement is what clinches it for me. Also, great to see a successful British manufacturer.
Yes this is a fantastic fan, super quiet! Would recommend it to anyone!
This all around wonderful quiet and well working and designed fan made my last 2 summer and nights so relaxing. Also the remote control is soo beautiful lovely designed! I had many fans, also Dyson, but the Meaco 1056 top them all. Thanks for that fantastic work!
I did a lot of research into different fans and this is consistently recommended, I bought mine today and it’s been absolutely fantastic so far - it really cooled my living room down, And it’s extremely quiet. It looks smart and the oscillating functions are brilliant - as are the timer functions. My only regret is I didn’t buy directly from Meaco!.. going to have to go to the website and get one of those bags now! I also own a Dyson air cooler/purifier - another excellent product, and I really like the purified air function - it does definitely make the air feel fresher, but honestly, this meaco fan is quieter than my Dyson and although it might include a ‘purifier/filter’ it cools the room down even more effectively than my Dyson and although it is not cheap when compared the Dyson it is really excellent value for money 👍👍 Thank you for this informative video, its very useful seeing how to disassemble and clean the unit 👍
R C, fans and air circulators move air and that's all they do, they don't lower the temperature of the air in the room they just move it..period...and the air flow from these units makes the air feel cooler due to convection and evaporation not because the temperature of the air dropped.
Love the fan and don't say that lightly. Hugely useful for menopausal moments at night. Was the only fan I own (got about 5 other brands) my very longhaired cat would sit in front of in last year's heatwave - so quiet, she loved it and I felt comfortable that she couldn't get her paws or tail trapped in it due to the design. The timer function is an absolute boon. As is being able to open the back and clean it. Great design.
Thanks for your positive feedback.
Thank you so much for showing how to take it apart. Mine was full of dust and I could not see how to take it apart to clean it. For anybody wondering if this is the best fan to buy, yes it is. I have had many fans over the year and this is by far the best. It is also the most silent and does not affect me sleeping if I use it at night. A God send for anybody suffering with night sweats.
I just bought this fan, after buying a cheaper a slightly fan first at my local shop. However when I got home and tried it I didn’t like it - so I went back to the shop and got this one and paid the £40 difference. No regrets at all this fan is a absolute air moving monster 5*
Exceptionally informative video thank you. I now understand why it wins awards.
I just ordered one because it’s 31 degrees here in Copenhagen. I am glad you mentioned the fake leather, because I don’t like buying leather stuff. I am melting and this fan might safe my life lol
Great video & very helpful , just bought one of these & they are GREAT.
Thank you for showing how to clean.. this has defo made me want to buy one
Very informative video thank you so much. I have just bought a meaco pedestal fan so this information was excellent.
Got one last year, now have two 1056's, the tower one and one of the rechargeable ones too.
All are bloody impressive and move tons of air with very little noise (the rechargeable one is shockingly good VFM).
If anything they're a bit quiet! You need a 'noisy mode' for tinnitus sufferers that have them on to sleep.. 😂
I took the second 1056 front cover off and adapted it to accept a 6" AC hose to use as forced air extraction for my studio. Much better and far quieter than hydroponics fans I'd been using. Warranty be damned.. 😅
Helpful video! Thanks
Amazing! Thank you!
Just ordered this fan direct from Meaco after false promises from 3rd party retailer (dropshipper). Brilliant design/features.
Hi! Just got your fan today as i wanted to buy it before it will get hot again, and i am extremely pleased with it’s design and overall performance! I hope we could see upgraded version in future with: 1) Smart function so i can use phone to operate the fan. 2) Option for tilt down in case fan is placed higher. 3) Remote control to be upgraded so it’s no IR anymore, and a small display or other solution to read from remote what modes are on etc, so there is no need to check it on the fan. 4) The pedastal version to be twice the current height ( i wanted to get one but found it to be too short for me) 5) This one is a bit extreme but if you could develop built in air purifier like some other leading brands this unit would be perfect. Again, anyone looking for a good fan this is the one you want to get and if you are even thinking of getting a Dyson then be aware of extreme noise ( it was Dyson vs Meaco for me and when it comes to noise level Meaco just destroys competition )
You don't expect much do you
Great product,
In the future a bigger blade size option would be nice, a 14 or 16 inch version
Don't get me wrong, I love this fan. I have an earlier model with only one screw to remove the front grille but the screw is on the inside of the cover so it's very annoying trying to screw the front back on. I imagine you must have a magnetic precision screwdriver to hold on to the screw because your finger will not fit through the grille. If the tiny screw falls on the floor good luck trying to find it.
Thanks for a nice video. My fan gives a small click when it comes out in the outer positions. Have read it needs to be lubricated. How do you do it ? Regards Dorthe
I brought mine from John Lewis on the 28 June mine has a annoyance whine on low speed so mine is not whisper quite.
Ok i buy :-)
is it able to point downwards at all below horizontal? ie, if put onto a flat surface, can it tilt down vertically enough so that air directly hits the surface it is on rather than over it?
It goes down to 5° below the vertical.
can you adjust how much it oscillates? My old dimplex allowed me to chose 30, 90, 180 or 360 degree side to side oscillation
I am afraid not, but you do have up and down oscillation, as well as the side to side.
Thank you for the explanation.
At what temperature does the fan reach maximum speed in Eco mode ?
And at what temperature does it reach its slowest speed ?
And if you set the timer, the fan then repeats the set time daily ?
With best regards
Lowest speed is below 23°C and the maximum speed is above 33°C, a full list is on page 6 of the manual (cdn.shopify.com/s/files/1/0371/8378/3043/files/MeacoFan_1056_Air_Circulator_Instruction_Manual_2020_English.pdf?v=1589361823%20target=%22_blank%22).
The timer is a one time only and has to be set each time.
Hope this helps.
@@MeacoUK Hello and thank you for your answer and the link !
Meaco Germany (?) has already helped me.
Now I know that if it’s below 23 degrees Celsius, the fan will continue at speed 2. (In Eco-Mode)
Best regards !
I love UK-designed products!! I'm curious what benefit the fan gets from the 'deep' design of the air shaft(?), as opposed to a more-typical flatter design.
Thank you. The shape of the head, combined with the shape of the blades and the rotation speed combined to move the air more quietly and further than a traditional flat head.
I've got the 1056p after returning the desk version back, much prefer the p. It's a great fan, pricey but worth it , just got 2 year warra
Thanks James, we appreciate your feedback.
Also if you create a version with smaller grills to prevent kids fingers going in would be better ?
The 1056 does comply with all international safety standards for adult and child safety including the grill sizes.
We appreciate your feedback.
@@MeacoUK-Omar does that mean baby fingers shouldn't get caught up in fan grill ?
@@Jamesdoeshealth Hi please note,
A babies fingers are smaller than international safety standards for such products which are aimed at older children and adults.
Our recommendation would be not to allow a baby or toddler to touch the fan.
Our last fan was a Duux and the wheel bearing wore down within a year. It was impossible to change it myself without special equipment. Are Meaco’s wheel bearings high quality?:) Considering buying the 1056
Bearings are not a component that we have ever had a problem with and you will get a free two year warranty.
Are there any general measures I can take to stop the fan from making noises when oscillating vertically? I'm getting a quick and quiet "wobwobwobwob" sound at certain angles, which unfortunately completely negates how quiet the fan is otherwise.
Have you tried oscillating your head vertically to match the movement of the fan? It might help to match up the movement to remove the wobwobwobwob
It's broken, send it back.
Hi. Does this need to be turned on via the remote/panel, or can it be 'powered on' via a smart plug - i.e. unit turned on via remote/panel, but power turned off/on via a smart plug, with the fan turning on (last setting?) when power is delivered to the unit?
You cannot use a smart plug I am afraid.
@@MeacoUK Thanks for the info and quick reply. 👍
@Stewart... Hi, a good question.... One that I was curious to find out too. If, like me, you intend to use it in a smart home environment and if the smart plug is not an option, then the next option would be to use something like a Broadlink device. This will learn the buttons of any IR or RF remote and you can then integrate it within your smart home environment. Hope that helps.
@@rpisharodi Indeed. It seems all roads lead to a Broadlink hub. 🙂
How far should this oscillate when going side to side?
Approximately 80 degrees horizontally and 60 degrees vertically.
Hi, I love my Maeco fan but it's started to make an annoying noise. It makes a random clicking noise when in oscillating mode. Like a plastic rubbing type clicking once every 30 seconds or so. Is there something I can lubricate ?
Run it on high fan speed whilst oscillating for 12 hours and it should improve.
It's not making any difference. I've figured it happens with the vertical oscillation when it goes up to its highest point just before it starts to return down. It's very annoying as the fan itself is quiet.
I'll upload a video of the noise the unit is making with its vertical oscillations. It's getting worse now

Very noisy top of oscillation.
Hey,
is the Remote controlled via IR. I wanna buy a fan that I can add to HomeKit via my HomeBridge and an AR Blaster. So I need to know how the remote operates. Thanks in advance.
I just automated this fan via a BroadLink and Home Assistant.
Do you need the IR codes?
A little tip, the ir code to set a timer to turn on does nothing when the fan is already on. So to wake it from sleep always send that command first, then 1 second later the actual command that you want to send.
@@sethkazzim731 That’s the Route I’m trying to go. I ordered the fan and the codes would be greatly appreciated:)
@@LeodaltonLP nice, I have put more info in my others comments under your question.
I notice you neglected to mention the remote control does not work unless you point it directly at the center of the base, Which can be annoying as the base moves, making the remote control useless in a bedroom, or in the corner of the front room, it also makes it almost impossible for Alex or home-kit use, as you have to wait for it to face the receiver before saying any commands, its very hard to time it, The fan itself is a very good fan, and much better than any fan I purchased in the past,
It will work from angles and most people do use it in the bedroom. It will not work from acute angles but once you have it set up as you like it you can then let it run. Glad you like the actual fan so much, it is nice to hear.
Well, it's infrared light based, and light travels in straight lines. But it also bounces. If you have white ceilings or white walls, or anything that would bounce light pretty well, maybe even an actual mirror, try using them to bounce the light towards the fan...
@@brei2670 Thank you for that Drei, I have taken Meacos advice and placed it so it faces the home remote, to use it with Alexa, with a little bit of moving around it works well now,
in fact it was so good I bought my daughter one, and she hasn't stopped thanking me for it.
I have a meaco mc seriers ac and the remote takes 10+ clicks to register and have to keep trying to point it directly at a certain spot. Quite put off buying another product from them unless I can guarantee good remote registration. I wanted this fan...
I’ve got a red sticker on the blade do I have to remove this
Thank you for your purchase, that if the standard safety warning sticker, you can leave it or remove it as you wish.
Fans AND air circulators don't lower the temperature of the air they're moving they just move it, and the air flow from these units makes the air feel cooler due to convection and evaporation, that being the said why would you want it blowing air anywhere other than where you were/are.
You are right that fans do not reduce the air temperature but moving all of the air within the room has massive benefits. It makes the temperature in the room more even, this is especially useful if you have air conditioning in one part of the room, it makes all of the air in the room feel fresher and, if you have more than one person in the room, enables several people to benefit from the fan at once.
Can you mute the beeps on this from the remote?
You can on the MeacoFan 650 but you can't on the 1056.
@@MeacoUK ok thanks for letting me know. Seems ironic that the fan is so quiet but adjusting it sounds so harsh.
My Meaco 1056 broke after 2 days of use (in the middle of a heat-wave), loud clicking when oscillating upwards. My friend's did exactly the same but horizontally. The 1056 performs very well but I think in general it is a little overrated. It has some really irritating design decisions.
The remote is incredibly finicky and requires very specific aiming/proximity. Especially if the fan sits a little higher up on your furniture (it doesn't tilt lower than horizontal either so placing it higher isn't ideal). It doesn't help that the whole base (including the controls!) rotates with the fan! The remote also can require 2 presses to respond to your actual command given that the unit goes to sleep after a short delay. Did that beep mean the fan was woken up or did it mean it's accepted my input? You can't tell. There's no down speed button on the unit itself so to go slower you need to cycle all the way through max hurricane speed and back up again. Oh and the illumination on the buttons turns off after a delay so now not only do you have moving buttons, you have invisible moving buttons meaning you have to randomly prod at the unlit control panel to try and get them to light up again so you can see what you're doing.
Is there a way to set the temperature on the eco mode plz
The Eco mode is preset to change the fan speeds for you at the temperatures laid out in the manual. These cannot be changed.
Thank you for your swift reply . It’s a shame the temperature isn’t adjustable but the fan is good never the less but can’t say the same for the remote as is faster and less frustrating to change the settings by hand .
I have changed the battery but did help 🤷

I got mine today and I was a little disappointed by a irritating noise coming from the motor, even at the lowest speed (My cheap hardware store fan is much quieter in fact). It sounds like the ball bearing might be flawed or cheap. I can't hear any motor sounds in your video. Am I correct in expecting no noteworthy motor sounds? Should I have my device exchanged?
Thank you for your purchase and your comment. You will hear motor noise on fan speeds 1 - 4 because the airflow is so quiet. We don't claim that the fan is silent (nothing is) but it is very, very quiet. If you feel that it is excessive then please send a video in to customerservice AT meaco.com for assistance.
mine was brushing the wires top the motor. I opened it, and pushed them back in a bit and it was fine. Still rather that than 3x the money on a much worse dyson (I know, i had two before)
What is the mute button for?
The 650 has a mute button to turn off the bleeps.
Don't lie, It's a load of shite and you know it, over £100 I'm never getting back!
