Airflow, oscillation, and how quiet it stays at night · review
LIPETY F9 review
A battery-powered, fold-flat pedestal fan that stretches from 39 cm to 105 cm and runs untethered on a built-in 8 000 mAh USB-C battery. LIPETY states 12–22 dB across 4 wind modes, a 70° head-shake oscillation, a remote control, and a 1–4 hour timer, but publishes no airflow-volume or air-throw-distance figure.
The bottom line The most portable fan in this comparison, built around a genuinely large battery and a fold-flat design, but it trades away wide oscillation and any published airflow figure to get there — pick it for portability, not for moving the most air.
A fan built around its battery
The F9’s headline feature isn’t the fan head — it’s the 8 000 mAh battery built into the base, rechargeable over USB-C from a power bank, laptop, or any USB charger. LIPETY states a working time of 3 to 23.5 hours, a wide range because it depends on which of the 4 wind modes (soft, cool, strong, natural) you’re running. That makes it closer to a cordless camping or travel fan than a fixed household appliance, which is also how LIPETY’s own listing copy pitches it: summer camping, picnics, tents, and outdoor use sit alongside desk and bedroom use in the feature bullets.
What “foldable” actually means here
Unlike the fixed-height tower fans in this comparison, the F9’s stand telescopes and folds, adjusting from 39 cm (15.3”) up to 105 cm (41.3”) so it can sit on a desk or stand on the floor. When collapsed, Amazon’s own package data lists it at roughly 22.8 × 22.8 × 11 cm — small enough to pack. The head itself tilts a further 180° by hand, and the front grille is removable for cleaning, both mentioned explicitly in LIPETY’s feature copy rather than implied.
Noise, oscillation, and what’s missing
LIPETY publishes a noise figure of 12–22 ±5 dB across its 4 wind modes, among the quietest numbers we found while researching this family of fans. Oscillation, though, is more limited than on the tower fans reviewed alongside this one: the head shakes 70° left and right rather than sweeping a full 90° or more. What LIPETY does not publish, on any market we checked, is an airflow volume (m³/h) or an air-throw-distance figure — both of which DREO states for its fans in this same comparison. Treat the F9 as an unquantified-but-quiet fan, not one you can compare on raw moving-air numbers.
Where it’s actually confirmed for sale
We checked ASIN B0G8Z33XWS — EAN 0699838195929 — on all six Amazon marketplaces we track. It carries a live, priced offer on Amazon.de (≈ 50 €), Amazon.fr (≈ 56 €), and Amazon.es (≈ 53 €). On Amazon.it and Amazon.co.uk the same ASIN exists in the catalogue with English or local-language copy but no active offer at the time we checked — present, not currently for sale. We found no listing under this ASIN at all on Amazon.com. In practice, this is a fan you can currently buy through the German, French, or Spanish stores, and not reliably anywhere else.
Bottom line
At roughly 50 €, the F9 is a battery-first, fold-away take on the pedestal fan rather than a straightforward mains-powered one. It earns its entry badge on portability and stated noise, not on documented airflow — if you need a number for how much air it actually moves, LIPETY doesn’t give you one, and neither of the two DREO fans in this comparison leaves that gap.

What we like, and what we don't
Strengths
Genuinely portable: folds flat and runs untethered for up to 23.5 hours on its 8 000 mAh USB-C battery
Height adjusts from 39 cm to 105 cm, covering desk and floor use with the same unit
LIPETY states 12–22 dB, among the lowest noise figures published in this family
Remote control with 4 wind modes and a 1–4 hour timer, unusual at this price point
Compromises
Oscillation is a 70° head-shake, narrower than the 90°-or-wider sweep on the tower fans in this comparison
No live Amazon offer on Italy or the UK at the time we checked, and no catalogue listing at all on Amazon.com
LIPETY publishes no airflow (m³/h) or throw-distance figure, unlike the DREO models reviewed alongside it
The stated 3–23.5 hour runtime range is wide because it depends entirely on wind mode — expect the low end at the strongest setting

Questions people actually ask
How long does the battery actually last?
LIPETY states a working time of 3 to 23.5 hours from the built-in 8 000 mAh battery, recharged over USB-C. That range is wide because it depends entirely on which of the 4 wind modes you run — expect the low end on the strongest setting and the high end on the softest.
Does it oscillate like a normal pedestal fan?
Not quite. LIPETY's own copy describes the head shaking 70° left and right, plus a separate 180° manual vertical tilt you set by hand. That's a narrower horizontal sweep than the 90° oscillation on the tower fans reviewed alongside this one.
Is it available outside Germany, France and Spain?
We checked Amazon.de, Amazon.fr, Amazon.it, Amazon.es, Amazon.com and Amazon.co.uk. This ASIN carried a live, priced offer on DE, FR and ES only. It exists in Amazon.it's catalogue with no active offer, it's listed on Amazon.co.uk with no active offer either, and we found no listing at all on Amazon.com at the time we checked.
Our score
7.2/ 10
The most portable fan in this comparison, built around a genuinely large battery and a fold-flat design, but it trades away wide oscillation and any published airflow figure to get there — pick it for portability, not for moving the most air.
Who this one is for
A desk, tent, or small room where battery independence and a small folded footprint matter more than outright airflow.

50 W · 76 cm · copper motor · 3 speeds, mechanical dial
A straightforward 50 W tower fan, 76 cm tall, with mechanical (button/dial) control rather than a remote. Cecotec names the motor explicitly — 100% copper, branded 'CooperEngine' on its German and Italian listings — pairs it with a stated thermal-safety cutoff, and gives 3 speeds and a timer of up to 2 hours.
Best for: Someone who wants a plain, inexpensive tower fan with a dial and three speeds, and no app or remote to manage.
DC motor · 106 cm · 9 speeds, 4 modes · 90° oscillation, 12h timer
A 106 cm DC-motor tower fan with 9 speeds and 4 modes (Normal, Natural, Auto, Sleep), a 90° oscillation angle, and a 12-hour timer — the longest timer and finest speed control in this comparison. DREO states an 8.53 m/s air-discharge speed and an 11 m wind-throw distance, but publishes two different noise figures — 20 dB on one market, 28 dB on another — for the same ASIN.
Best for: A bedroom or living room where fine speed control (9 steps) and the longest timer in this comparison matter more than height adjustment or a folding design.
120°+120° omni oscillation · 1 615 m³/h · 23–51 dB · adjustable height
A DC-motor pedestal fan with simultaneous horizontal-and-vertical 120°+120° oscillation, a published 1 615 m³/h airflow volume, and a stated 23–51 dB noise range across 8 speeds and 3 modes. DREO's height figures vary between its own listings — 89–102 cm on the German copy, 94–107 cm on the French, Spanish and UK copy — for what is the same fan.
Best for: A larger room where genuinely wide, dual-axis air coverage and a documented airflow volume matter more than price or confirmed US/UK availability.
