Even if I Having been testing on Wired for a year, it's not that fans are stopping me on my track. Shark's New Turbo Fans Release in March 2025 - I was amazed at me the moment I saw it fully assembled. Are we sure this is a fan? Isn't it a windmill? Speaker? Some kind of high-tech ionizer device?
It's so bold since its designs for fans of the Dyson series. Despite its reputation, the turbine is actually bladeless. In other words, air is sucked in through a cleanable screen dust at the bottom of the fan and pushed out through the top without visible rotating parts or motors. It gives it a clean, seamless aesthetic (black or white, both with a gold tone), minus concerns about dust, dirt or small willful hands or pet tails.
The turbocharger was set up quickly - a few of the disassembled parts were marked, and it took me about five minutes to put them together. The main form of the fan looks like t. There is a plastic rod that looks like a small reverse bucket with a telescope activated, which can rotate 360 degrees and has a 31.5-inch rod with a tapered front. The 13-inch segments on either side are where the ventilation holes are; each segment is illuminated so it can be rotated directly upwards, straightforwards or anywhere between. The design means that airflow is technically more concentrated, but with turbo, it is not as compelling as fans of a narrow scale outflow design (like Vornado's Strata).

The turbocharged top bar can also turn to make the fan become I shape to make airflow higher and/or lower. As t The turbocharged height ranges from 30 to 38 inches as a I It's about 45 to 53 inches. The entire process can also oscillate up to 180 degrees (set to 45, 90 and 180). Between different altitudes, 10 speeds, oscillation, angle and rotation, this is the most customizable airflow you can get.
There are no fan-related apps, nor smart, but there is a remote ($15 for spare parts) that can be magnetically glued to the top of the fan. The remote is very useful - same as other fans that only have on/off, the speed increases/decreases, which also allows changing modes (sleep, BreezeBoost and natural breeze; see below), oscillating and adjusting the angle.

Therefore, the Turbo Show is unique, but yes Called the Tower Fan. It's a tough line in the current tower fan space, models like Dreo's MC710s are also high and are high in the air purifier, or Vornado's New Ara, which is more powerful and looks to be in a high-end apartment. On the other hand, the turbocharged vibe is more weird than fashion. At maximum speed, the turbocharger ranks 1,043 feet per minute on my anemometer, comparable to most classic tower fans. However, I felt like I was far from the fan and I had to tilt the vents to feel the breeze, especially when the fan was at low speed. The air circulator throughout the room is not.
Another problem is noise. This is not to say that the turbocharges are very large. My decibel meter registered 53 dB even on top speed settings, which is even a fan of this size and strength even on the quiet end. But even at the lowest speed, the turbocharged volume is not less than 40 dB, which is probably due to the obvious, jet engine-like hissing sound of the motor.
This is especially evident when using a natural breeze professional environment, which is to mimic the occasional rising and falling “winds”. I tried to test this afternoon while reading on my couch, but the repeated start and stop the jet engine sound was so distracting that I almost had to turn it off immediately. I fly at least four times a year, close my eyes and I totally believe I'm gliding on a Boeing 747.
Besides natural, other turbocharged special modes include the BreezeBoost, which temporarily raises the fan to maximum speed and then drops it back (instantly causing a cool feeling), it’s important to remember that the fan doesn’t actually lower the temperature of the room), lack of sleep), silent beeps, dim lights and speeds for “sleep speed.” ”
When testing this mode, I especially appreciate the height and horizontal outflow of the turbo, which seems to be made for the bed. I also like these 15 pounds and it's easy to walk around. The wind speed of the automatic sleep mode is about 433 feet per minute - soft enough to feel (provided the angle is correct), but not so high that you feel like you are in a wind tunnel. At about 40 dB, the noise was noticeable and louder than the lowest speeds of other fans, but not so loud that I found it distracting, although many online reviewers did.
Anyway, while this may not be the best general purpose tower fan, it may have some very specific use cases (need to direct airflow up and down, or high and low), which some will find is priceless. If you are not sure if this is you, there is a two-year warranty and a 60-day money-back guarantee so you can try it yourself.
