Oh, that's a good breeze.

[0:05] Morris

Yeah, a bit hot today Mick so we've just turned the fan on to cool the area down a little bit.

[0:08] Mick

A great idea in a place like Queensland. So why is this the right thing for this environment?

[0:13] Morris

So, Mick, the fan we've chosen is a Hunter Pacific Aqua DC fan. It's the world's first IP66-rated fan.

[0:21] Mick

IP66-rated, what does that mean?

[0:22] Morris

So IP66 is ingress protection. Basically, it's completely dustproof and also protects against high-pressure water jets so you can get in there and clean it properly.

[0:31] Mick

Really good for coastal locations in an outdoor deck area like this one.

[0:35] Morris

Yeah so close to the beach that's particularly ideal.

[0:38] Mick

So I used to have a fan that had two speeds, stir the air and just high speed. How many speeds does this one have?

[0:43] Morris

This one's got six speeds here, Mick. All controlled via the remote control so you don't have to get up and change at the wall like you used to.

[0:49] Mick

Yeah, yeah absolutely. And are there any other features that you would recommend about this particular (ceiling) fan?

[0:54] Morris

Yep, so the Aqua fan has its timer setting as well, one, two or four hour settings. So basically hit that after that say one hour period it'll automatically turn itself off.

[1:03] Mick

That's a good feature, I'm always leaving my outdoor fan on at night.

[1:05] Morris

This would be good for you then. There mate.

[1:08] Mick

Thanks, cheers.
