Stadler FormP-013 Peter Tower Fan, Black

Aesthetically this is the second coolest looking tower fan compared to the Dyson AM07, but the Peter fan is only quiet on the lowest setting, of which there are only three (Dyson is quiet up to setting 3 of 10). On the higher settings, it sounds like a hair dryer in that it starts developing a higher pitch quality to the sound and I have to raise the volume of the TV to hear over the sound of the fan (similar to the Dyson at higher settings in this regard). The Peter fan is acceptable for use when sleeping at night at the lowest setting, but there was a fluttering sound on my example and it was unclear if it was coming from the wind generating mechanism or the oscillation mechanism; however, the LED lights at the top of the unit remain on and are somewhat bright, casting a glow on the nearest wall and in the room, which bothered me and I had to put something opaque on the top in order to sleep. The Peter fan is otherwise well built, with a very nicely weighted, sturdy metal base plate; the remote works well and has a storage compartment in the back (the Dyson is constructed entirely of lightweight plastic and the remote only works well when you point directly at the base of the fan with direct line of sight, and the remote storage via a hidden magnet on the top of the fan is not very secure).In short, I ended up returning both the Peter fan and the Dyson because they were expensive and could only be used at the lowest speeds. I purchased based on the few reviews available that said that the Peter fan was extremely quiet, which it is not in my experience. Yes, I am picky, but I don’t think I’m the only one out there with such specific requirements and I hope to help others avoid wasting time with having to test out multiple fans.Ultimately, I saw a Toshiba tower fan at Home Depot that seemed pretty quiet in the store but I was pleasantly surprised that when I brought it home, it is quiet and useable at all speeds without any high pitched air flow sound or extraneous noises from the oscillating mechanism so I am happy and have bought a few of them (though the Toshiba is not as aesthetically pleasing as the other two fans, but definitely not as clunky or as much of an eyesore as others out there).

Ed H.'s review nails it perfectly, but just to reiterate. I occasionally get the fluttering noise as well which is annoying. At the lowest setting it gives a nice gentle breeze, but anything else is quite noisy compared to other fans. I was most disappointed by the natural breeze option. It sounds like a great idea, and with some fuzzy logic, gentler changes, and a quieter motor this could be genius. It uses a very simple timed boost to the motor taking it one step up in intensity which means a waxing waning whirring that is way more annoying than a constant white noise. Also, post 2010 it feels very odd to use an LED based remote. You have to point it very precisely at the device. Finally the Swiss must have very short sleep cycles as the longest "sleep" mode is only 4h which I find strange. It looks great, but afraid the good news ends there unless you only plan to use the lowest setting.

I usually run all fans on low because I don't care for the noise if it's too loud. This fan is quiet enough to run on high and I can adjust it from bed using the remote once it's cool enough in my room. It's a little pricey, but worth it.

Bought two of them ( Peter and Wendy-😁). Wonderful, solid base Fan and I’m loving both!

My sister got one and loved it so I got one as well. It's relatively quiet, turns smoothly when set to oscilate. I love the 3 fan settings. Attaching the base took only a few minutes.

Great quality - slim and really pushes the air love this fan and well worth the price

Doesn’t push much air. Even on the highest setting, I could barely feel a breeze from more than 8 feet away. It’s a shame, because it’s well-made and nicely designed. But it utterly fails at its primary job.

I like the design and work well

Update vom 25.06.21Ich habe dem Turmventilator wegen des Designs noch eine Chance geben wollen. Deshalb habe ich ihn erneut bestellt. Das klappern von der alten Rezension ist nicht mehr zu hören. Ich bin prinzipiell sehr zufrieden und werde ihn nun doch behalten. Einziger Wehrmutstropfen ist der verhältnismäßig hohe Preis. Ein Video des neuen Ventilators werde ich nachreichen.Alte Version: Der Turmventilator macht einen guten Eindruck. ...bis zu dem Moment, in dem man den Stecker in die Steckdose steckt und ihn einschaltet. Sogar auf der niedrigsten Stufe waren wir überrascht über die Geräuschkulisse in unserem Wohnzimmer. Ein lautes Klappern und Knistern versüßte uns den gemütlichen Abend vor dem Fernseher... nicht. Denn bevor es dazu kam, habe ich ihn wieder eingepackt und zurück gesendet. Vielen Dank Amazon, dass das so problemlos möglich war. An alle potentiellen Kunden: spendet das Geld lieber an Save the Children.Hochachtungsvoll ein Tester dieses Produkts!

Ich habe diesen Luftventilator nun bereits 2 Wochen im Einsatz und kann es auch mit gutem Gewissen weiterempfehlen.Zuvor hatte ich folgende Turmventilatoren, die aber alle nicht an den Stadler heranreichten.- Brandson- Klarstein- SolisDer Solis war noch der beste, allerdings von der haptischen Qualität und der Geräuschentwicklung klar schlechter als der Peter von Stadler Form.Die anderen beiden (besonders der Klarstein) war von der Qualitätsanmutung und der Lautstärke für mein Empfinden, einfach nur miserabel.Der Stadler macht seine Sache bislang hervorragend. Auf Stufe 1 ist er (je nach Abstand) nahezu geräuschlos aber dennoch mit genug Luftzirkulazion. Stufe 2 und 3 sind hörbarer, jedoch immer noch angenehmer als bei den Vergleichsmodellen der anderen drei erwähnten Marken.Er ist auch wesentlich schwerer,was sicherlich nicht jedermanns Sache ist, für mich gibt er aber das Gefühl der Wertigkeit wieder. Optisch ist er ein Hingucker. Unauffällig und mit modernem schlanken Design passt es sehr gut in unseren Wohnbereich.Man muss sich aber auch im Klaren sein, dass dieser Turmventilator im Preis zum Vergleich zu den anderen Modellen recht hoch angesiedelt ist. Für mich allerdings war die Lautstärke und die Effizienz der Kühlung sowie die optische Anmutung das ausschlaggebende Argument für die ich auch mal bereit war tiefer in die Tasche zu greifen.Von meiner Seite daher eine klare Kaufempfehlung.

I bought this a couple of weeks ago because, I was living in a room that absorbs heat a lot. Honestly, the best thing I’ve purchased! It’s amazing. It was definitely on the higher-end price but, I think it’s because of the amazing functions that it has with the timer function. The noise level is absolutely amazing, I sleep with it on and never hear a peep. Depending on the level you put the fan on. However I normally just put it in one x

Thought it looked about elegant as tower fan was likely to be - it’s not a shiny white plastic, so takes on the colour that my wall was painted to some degree; the metal base is a satin finish; the fan and swing mechanism seem well-balanced so that on its quietest setting it's half the noise of the cheap tower fan I bought (not that much more than an internal fan on a desktop p.c. used to be 4~5 years ago, although fan noise really, really doesn't bother me anywhere near as much as overnight heat); the height means the airflow isn't blocked by my bed; and overall very fairly priced for something that has been 'designed rather than just assembled from the parts bin'.

Attractive fan which takes v little space. It works and it is relatively quiet. However it’s less cooling than my traditional looking fan by the same manufacturer. Both are near silent but my older fan cools better and quieter.
