For me I don't mind coz fans are very cheap to run as compared to any aircon unit.
Nothing ruins the day better than a 5* windless fan even at max speed.
I've already taken down that fan twice and installed thrice - living room, medium room, and finally just stuck it at the smallest room.
Where I bought fans from.. all over the place..mostly shopee online purchase, couple units were retail
K14Z9 - EOL Sensa 4 - Warehouse sale - only paid RM249 for an awesome quiet fan with yuragi function. Granted old model but its still BNIB condition.
Bayu 4 - Retail experience - Regretting the RM270 I spent on it.
Vtouch Junior - Retail experience. And my most expensive fan - was at Aeon but had CC vouchers so its heavily discounted per se. Listed at 490.
Vtouch Jr cost 403 on shopee.
K14ZW Sensa 4 only cost 459 after shopee CC voucher (listed at 515, min spend 500 get 80 off, which meant I could not buy another Vtouch junior to get that discount).

Other notesKDK fans have lots of foam all round as protection so it will survive logistics handling very well. Plus they're relatively lightweight for that size of box.
It is only aircon that is heavy but the foam only covers the ends that the center part of the box always gets crushed in transit.
You can try to go around electrical shop to see if they can give a better deal.
Personally, I hate haggling with retail shop as the "open price" amount quoted is easily 10% higher than online price with shipping when I bought my fridge.
They opened price at 2.5k when the online price was 2.1x-2.2x k (inclusive of delivery). I nego down to 2.4k with a Sat morning delivery guarantee (which went very well 8.50am already arrived at guardhouse). Staying in poorfag officeslave class of high rise have to take care of delivery hours window of opportunity too.
That time I had no choice but to get from retail because only can deliver on Sat morning and the online seller can only commit weekday afternoon/evenings which also costs me a day of work (need to take leave).
Your right. Energy rating for fan has minimal impact to our electricity consumption since it a low wattage appliances. Spending more for 5 stars might not break even before the fan died on you. I might reconsider buying V-touch instead of Sensa 4. Maybe I will do another round of calculation
What CC voucher that you use that can get 80 off from RM500 purchase. Seems like a good deal? I hate haggling too.. but since I am buying 7 units of ceiling fans, I might try to haggle at least to the cheapest online price and save on the shipping.
