The $59 Kmart appliance that shoppers are raving about — “It’s amazing!”
- Replies 19
Kmart fans were clamouring over the retailer's affordable version of a pricey household appliance. Any guesses as to what it might be?
Back in 2009, the original Dyson bladeless fans debuted at the market, taking Aussies by storm.
The fans, which quickly became a must-have item for many of us, promised to be quieter, more efficient, and easier to clean than conventional fans.
While Aussies were rushing to get their hands on this household item, it can't be denied that the product came with a hefty price tag. We decided to stick with the classic blade fans for a little while longer.
And as we all know, great inventions inspire other producers to create their own versions of similar products in a bid to provide a greater choice and price point to consumers.
One such retailer that produced their own version of the bladeless fan is discount retailer Kmart.

Each summer, Kmart followers are asked to review the bladeless fan models available at the budget retailer, with fans giving their opinions on the $59 desktop model and the $89 floor-standing model.
And customers can't stop singing praise when it comes to these cool air slinging machines!
One mum wrote in a popular Kmart Mums Facebook group: "Bladeless one, it's fricken amazing."
"We sleep with it on in our room every night and it works really well. No complaints" wrote another.
Others recommended the fans to those who have not tried using them for themselves.
"I have the Kmart one and love it, great how it has a built-in light," one fan wrote in the Kmart Hacks and Decor group.
Another added: "I got it because my pedestal fan was too loud and the low speed was really high; got one of these and have it on constantly and not loud."
A third chimed in: "Got the bladeless one and I’m a light sleeper and I don’t find it noisy at all. I love mine!"
"We have these in the kids' rooms. I think they're quite good," one person quipped.
"Probably slightly noisier... But far better than the horrendous rattle the blade fan towers made."

Meanwhile, a number critiqued the fan for being not as powerful as the traditional pedestal style fans.
One person wrote: "There is a bit of a noise, but nothing to worry about, I am actually surprised how good it is,"
"We have one in our baby's room (we’re worried about little fingers in the fan)," another added.
"It’s ok, it’s not any quieter/louder than a conventional fan. Due to the design, it is less powerful than a typical fan. But it does the job."
For those who are curious how bladeless fans work, here's a video of Sir James Dyson explaining how the technology behind this household item:
