Its been 18months since I bought Panasonic Baby Yuragi fan.

With the recent hot weather, I really curse this fan. Its damn blardy slow. Spin faster please.

Anyone buying a fan or two now, please avoid plastic blades. My mom just install the most pariah and cheapest kdk 3 blades fan (steel blades) and it was mega better than this Yuragi fan. Not to mention if I turn on Yuragi, its even hotter. I guess Panasonic advertised it right. You get those natural winds like on beaches, and the same hot humid condition.

Not sure about this. It's Panasonic Baby Yuragi. The plastic blades were said to improve on the balance which is true but I think it also to blame for the lack of wind.

My very first fan and worst of all. I still had it because I spent RM4xx on it years ago and it sucks. Now it just hum a lot and spin very slowly. I seen my parents new house has installed the newer yuragi 5 blade and they seem to work better nowadays.

I think steel blades still the better choice. Plastic blades really sucks.

I had the installer verify it and he confirmed that plastic blades are like this. Pathetic airflow. My sister later installed the Bayu5 and confirmed much much better than mine. On a hot day like CNY period, it aint helping at all. End up I grab 2 used wall mounted Panasonic fans and placed another standing fan to circulate the air.

Since I have kids sleeping on the floor, I grabbed one of this and it works brilliantly. Just a bit noisy but the wind is worth every bit of noise unlike the stupid Panasonic yuragi.

Haha... no lar...

Not my living room, actually is my room. Specs wise is one thing, real life usage is another. I even goggled and found that Im not alone with this yuragi myth thing. A lot installed them and found that its really so-so.

Maybe the plastic fin is lighter and it can spin faster than steel blades equipped Bayu series. If I stand directly below it, yeah, I can feel it. However my bed is not directly below it, about 2feet off, and barely felt the wind. Bayu indeed better without a doubt. I think I want the air velocity, not air volume movement. Personally think Bayu is better.

Anyway, I just bought Bayu5 from Lazada. Maybe think I will try to DIY replacement for my Yuragi. Perhaps I can move the yuragi down to my living room for a try and see if the bigger space and taller height helps it perform better.

Will 5 fans consume more electricity than an 1HP aircond? I had 5 fans in my room (not kidding). The useless Panasonic yuragi 4 blades, one panasonic stand to exhaust hot air via window, two wall mounted, and the Mastar for whoever sleeping on the floor.

Its really really cold at times...even had to wake up to turn some off.

Did I mentioned that I also had an aircond? Hehehe... just not suitable. Kids still small, dont like blanket. Always caught cold whenever I on them. Doctor fees > electricity.

RM1200 for a fan? Man... why would you buy them in the first place?

Auto sensor? Got so advance or not?

Anyway, if Im not mistaken, I think yuragi has this memory function because I usually off my fan via the wall switch instead of using remote. I do find the remote a bit worse on Bayu than Yuragi.

Personally I think yuragi is not worth it for dining area since it cost a lot more. Dining area usually busy for an hour or two each day. The selling point for yuragi was the alternating speed to create wind breeze effect. Its really not that useful here since its always hot here. Another thing is that the angle of the blades probably not as steep as Bayu series. You will notice that Yuragi series top speed spin a lot faster than but not necessary translate to more wind compared to Bayu.

I just finished DIY my new Bayu5, replacing the old Yuragi 4 blades (old model). Instantly much better. Wind velocity increase a lot. Bayu further distance and one extra blade may have also affected the change. Whatever it is, its a good sign. The noise also much louder. Woop woop woop sound versus the ever silence from Yuragi.

I will move the yuragi to the living room when I had the chance. Or will move it to the balcony to dry the clothes since it has a timer. Definitely will try living room if I had the chance to prove that its not my small room that reduce its efficiency.

I had checked and confirmed that my unit still working fine. Capacitor are not bulging.

Hahaha...

All my fans are turned off or running at max speed. Does it consume less electricity when running slower? I thought the difference in power draw are negligible hence why I always max the speed.

Need to correct my earlier statement regarding this.

I just tried out the new yuragi in my parents house. Seem like also default to speed 3 when turned on.

Mine still starts at 2 whenever I switch it on.

Not bad the price... I bought on Lazada for RM269 + RM9 shipping. Where did you find them?

Its a pretty decent deal I think. Outside selling 3xx. Of course you cant get 269 on Lazada without using the discount codes.

Hi

Can share where you find this price? Everywhere seem to be displaying RM7xx. Even with Lazada 10% discount still RM6xx.

Just sharing...

Lazada having sale on Panasonic Bayu 5 White color...

RM259 each. If you order on app, can use BANANA100 code for 15% discount (capped at RM100). Just ordered 2 for RM440. Very worthy.

That's a very expensive repair if you had to buy all the tools needed.

With remote? Then it should be the capacitor. Can google on how to replace the capacitors. Fix 2 yuragi and 1 bayu5 earlier this year.

Remote fan more likely is the capacitor. Especially if you try the speed, you notice some higher speed actually is slower.

You are too late then. I already received the fan the next day. Now price increase a lot already.

Change the capacitor lor... very easy only...

If you lazy, they also got sell the board. I cant remember the exact price for the whole board, around RM80 or so. I turned down because can fix for RM30 or so DIY. (Actually some people with the cap meter can detect which went bad and only change that. Since I dont want to waste money and time, I decided to change all the capacitors. Lazy to change one after another. If you only change selected capacitor, the cost may be even cheaper)

Out of the 3 that I fixed (2 yuragi aka nami, 1 is Bayu5), I noticed that nami response better. After change, the humming really gone. As for the Bayu5, sometimes still got sound after prolong period. I suspect maybe bearing also starting to break down. Still its much better than nnnn nnnn nnnn whole night till morning.
