We’re so glad you decided to read the instructions to your new Duux fan! Many users casually dismiss instructions and seek to figure it out on their own. But studies show that people who read instructions will get up to speed more quickly and efficiently than those who poke around with trial and error.

Enhancing your wellbeing by designing appealing, functional and effective products is the passion that drives us every day. With our range of innovative air treatment products we aim to provide you the best possible indoor air quality.

In this way you can always find the perfect airflow environment. Thanks to the horizontal and vertical oscillation function, the Whisper provides a pleasant coolness throughout any room. Choose yourself, which mode you prefer: fixed speed, `natural wind’ or perhaps the night mode, by which you are lulled into sleep by the whispering breeze.
