It’s powerful and can cool a room in no time.
I wasn’t disappointed.
Sleep Mode kept me at the perfect temperature overnight, with the quieter operation mimicking soothing white noise.
While I was surprised given the premium price that the Shark TurboBlade doesn’t come with app control.
It’s well worth the price in that regard.
As of now, it’s only available in the US, to buy direct from Shark.
It may also come to third-party retailers likeAmazon.
There’s not really another fan on the market similar to this one.
That said, its adjustable and versatile design can make it feel more compact in your home.
It took me about five minutes to set it up.
These arms sit atop the main pole, which is telescopic, so it can be raised or lowered.
You’ll have to plug the Shark TurboBlade into a power outlet for the fan to work.
The base is designed to oscillate 180 degrees.
This can be done with the remote control.
Shark provides two batteries so you might use the remote immediately.
On the front of the base, there are five blinking lights that indicate the fan speed.
At 15lbs, it’s easy enough to move the Shark TurboBlade between rooms.
I’d much prefer to control the fan with my phone than a remote.
Most of the time, I used the remote control to adjust the parameters of the fan.
However, for the sake of testing, there is a button on the front of the base.
The fan speed is indicated by a chime and five flashing lights above the power button.
(I preferred disabling the chime.)
Unfortunately, there were a few things I could not adjust with the remote control.
I also could not adjust the direction of the vents with the remote.
The airflow was more noticeable at 28 feet.
The fan can oscillate at 45, 90, or 180 degrees.
It’s also possible to use the remote to adjust the direction of the blades by small degrees.
There aren’t sensors in this product that will stop the blades from hitting an object.
The kitchen stayed exceptionally cool when I did this.
No more sweating over the stove for me!
Special modes
There are three specialty modes Sleep Mode, BreezeBoost, and Natural Breeze Mode.
BreezeBoost is the highest fan setting you could choose and has a dB rating of 66 dB.
The amount of cool air that blows through on this setting is significant.
I don’t think I’ll need BreezeBoost except during triple-digit (Fahrenheit) temperatures in summers.
My favorite setting is the Natural Breeze Mode.
The fan randomizes the airflow to simulate natural winds.
Sleep Mode is, as the name implies, best used at night while you’re sleeping.
It’s no louder than my ceiling fan.
The Shark TurboBlade can be tucked away into a corner when the blades are positioned vertically.
There really isn’t much maintenance required except occasionally dusting the dust defense panel that covers the motor.
My only real complaint with the design is that I found the cord a little short.
It’s six-foot long, and I wish it was closer to 10 feet.
Should you buy the Shark TurboBlade fan?

Value
A premium-priced fan, but worth the investment.
3.5 / 5
Design
Innovative design with highly adjustable vents that blast out directional blades of air.
Useful remote, but no app control.
A little large, but can be tucked away in a corner when not in use.
4 / 5
Performance
Powerful airflow and great at cooling a room quickly, thanks to adjustable vents.
Specialty modes are great for sleeping and natural wind simulation.
Best yet it’ll keep you cool as you sleep.
This allows users to move around their house and adjust the fan at far distances.
This is something you have to do by hand.
Testing occurred in March, that in-between time when my heater and air-conditioning weren’t being used.
I tested the Shark TurboBlade mostly in my living room, kitchen, and bedroom.
