Bladeless Fans: Are They Safe For Kids?

Bladeless fans typically cost more than traditional fans, are they worth the price?

There is good and bad with each choice. Some people prefer bladeless fans over the traditional type because there is no chance of injury from a fan blade. If a child accidentally kicks the fan, they are less likely to get injured by a fan blade. However, some may disagree that bladeless fans are worth the price due to how much more expensive they are than traditional fans.

Introduction

Some have debated the safety of bladeless fans. Many people seem to be polarized about this topic. There are those who think that bladeless fans are safe to use in the home and those who think they are unsafe, and should not be used in the home at all.

Bladeless fans are made of high-quality composite material. Some may have a low-quality plastic casing. The high-quality composite material will not snap, bend, or break under normal circumstances. They do not even look like fans; they look more like industrial equipment that happens to blow air around the room.

For those who are worried about kids or pets walking into a fan blade, bladeless fans are the best option available on the market today. They run silently, except for wind rushing through them and their motors running quietly in the background.

Bladeless Fan Safety

A number of people believe that bladeless fans do not pose any danger because there is no blade that can cause injury. However, some do not feel the same way. They believe there is always the possibility that a child or pet could accidentally kick them, and even if there is a chance of injury, it is better to be safe than sorry.

Some people also worry about failure when purchasing bladeless fans. They think buying an expensive bladeless fan is like buying something you know may break down on you in the future.

Here are some things you may want to think about when it comes to bladeless fan safety.

1. Fans Are Safer In the case of bladeless fans, there is less chance that a blade will come into contact with a person if it is bumped. Any fan blades are hidden inside the fan unit. The blades of traditional fans are often behind a mesh case but still assessable. 

2. Less Pressure On Injuries If a person is injured on a bladeless fan, the fan will not press into their body. The blades do not go straight down on the person but move around them. 

3. Many say that Bladeless Fans Are More Eco-Friendly Bladeless fans can be up to 50% more energy efficient. This reduces the amount of pollution emitted into the atmosphere. As people do not have to buy as many fans, they are likely to invest in a more eco-friendly fan. 

4. Some Bladeless fans are quieter than some traditional fans as well. Not every fan is equal as some bladed fans have been specifically sound dampened. The one noise you do get from a bladed fan and not a bladeless is the noise of the blades cutting through the air – this adds extra noise to the other working.

Fun Fact

Convenient Fan: With a bladeless fan, there is no need for the fan to be centered in the house. The fan is often controlled by remote control and can be placed anywhere. A built-in motor makes it easy to turn the fan on and off. This is convenient for homes where space is limited.

Smart Bladeless Fans: Some bladeless fans have embedded technology. For example, some have sensors, so they know when you are in the room and turn on or off accordingly. Other bladeless fans have temperature sensors, so they will turn on and off according to the temperature outside the room.

Plenty of air circulation: Traditional fans can only circulate air within the room where the fan is located.

Bladeless fans are not just a blast from the past and are no longer just for cool summer breezes. They’ve become a popular option for anyone who has allergies and needs to stay cool. Most air conditioners blow out a lot of allergens and irritants. Bladeless fans, on the other hand, do not blow air out. They pull air in, which eliminates irritants and allergens in the room – especially the newer models of bladeless fans that have HEPA filters in them. 

In Conclusion

Bladeless fans are a good addition to a hot home. Getting one of the latest models will include a HEPA filter to remove allergens from the air and the last of blades means no little fingers will get struck.

There may always be accidents but with a bladeless fan at least you can feel safe and secure when it’s being used around the house with kids running around.
