While all Sefte® models provide incredible, whisper-quiet comfort cooling, the Pro models and newer additions include several standout features that can make a significant difference. 

Which air circulator model is for me: Table vs Pedestal vs Cordless?

Sefte® air circulators are available in three main types: table, pedestal and cordless fans.

Not sure which Sefte® to choose? We can help!

The table model is compact and powerful, perfect for coffee tables whilst watching TV or on the kitchen side while cooking.

For maximum versatility, the pedestal model features three adjustable height settings, allowing you to direct airflow exactly where it’s needed. From reaching over the highest beds to providing gentle cooling on your bedside table, it’s designed to adapt to your space. 

The cordless, portable battery models keeps you cool absolutely anywhere, no strings attached. These are our second generation Sefte®s, designed for life on the go.

Whichever Sefte® you choose, expect whisper-quiet, powerful cooling. There is a Sefte® for everyone!

Advantages of table air circulators

  • Best fans for home offices, desks, bedside tables

Compact and easy to move around the home, they sit neatly on desks, bedside tables, kitchen counters or shelves without taking up valuable floor space. Their smaller footprint makes them ideal for bedrooms, home offices and personal cooling, while adjustable fan heads help direct air precisely where you want it. 

Smaller in size doesn’t have to mean smaller in performance. Our MeacoFan Sefte® 10” Table circulates an incredible 19.18 m3 / min up to 32m reach, that’s as far as a Boeing 737 plane!

Available: Sefte® 6″, Sefte® 8″, Sefte® 10″ Table, Sefte® 10″ Pro Table

Advantages of pedestal air circulators

  • Best fans for floor use, home exercise, versatility with different heights

Pedestal air circulators are designed to deliver whole-room cooling comfort. Their elevated design allows airflow to be directed at head height, making them ideal beside beds, above high sofas and seating areas, while adjustable height settings give you even greater control over where the cooling airflow is needed most. They are also a fantastic solution when surface space is at a premium, for example in a small flat or busy household. 

Equally, they are at home in your workout space, whether you’re powering through a Peloton session, lifting weights or stretching into a yoga pose. 

As an adjustable 3-in-1 air circulator, you can position the airflow exactly where you need it.

The Sefte® pedestal range also features innovative PolePower Technology. Unlike many pedestal fans that place the receiver and control electronics in the base, Sefte® houses them in the fan head itself. This clever engineering eliminates the need for visible control cables running up the pole, creating a cleaner, more elegant design. It also means your remote commands are received at the top of the fan, so you can adjust settings effortlessly from bed without stretching over the mattress or awkwardly aiming at a receiver hidden near the floor.

Available: Sefte® 10 Pedestal, Sefte® 10 Pro Pedestal

Advantages of cordless, battery air circulators

  • Best fans for life on the go from holidays to camping, picnics or just around the house

Cordless, battery-powered air circulators give you the freedom to enjoy airflow wherever you need it, no strings attached. Powered by a high-capacity rechargeable battery, Sefte® Pro delivers up to 40 hours of cordless cooling on a single charge. Without being restricted by cables, it can be easily moved between rooms and positioned wherever cooling is needed most around the home. The hidden carry handle makes repositioning simple and effortless.

No cables also means less clutter and more flexibility when positioning the fan. For those who want cooling that fits around their day, a rechargeable air circulator offers convenience and portability in one compact package. 

By using a rechargeable, replaceable battery, you save money by keeping a single fan for years and help reduce environmental waste by keeping products out of landfill. The key to this is that the battery is replaceable. Now, all new electronic products manufactured for the EU will be required to have a user-replaceable battery by 2027 as part of new legislation but our journey started back with the MeacoFan 260c based on one piece of customer feedback. Now, we’ve engineered this seamlessly into the design of our new cordless Sefte® air circulators!

Available: Sefte® 6″, Sefte® 8″, Sefte® 10″ Pro Table, Sefte® 10″ Pro Pedestal

Designed in the UK. Shaped by You. 

When we started designing Sefte®, we had a dilemma: we already had the MeacoFan 1056, a long standing customer favourite. 

The 1056 range has won awards all across Europe and is seen as the best available on the market. Our challenge was to make the best, even better. 

We did this by listening to customers and incorporating improvements into a new design. Ultimately, as our customers, you are our best designers. You told us what you wanted to see and our engineering and design team went through multiple iterations to deliver the ideal balance of airflow, efficiency, comfort, and quiet operation.

The result is Sefte®. Quiet. Gentle and Undisturbed.

Engineered to create less noise, move more air and give the user greater control. These all new Air Circulators were designed in the UK with the customer in mind.

We collated all customer feedback from our award-winning 1056 range and designed Sefte® based on your suggestions. No more fumbling in the dark to find the remote control, no more circulating through the rotary dial from fan speed 1 all the way to 12, and no more annoying bleeps.
