Panasonic’s new electric fan is slim and stylish and looks completely different than the usual swinging floor-based electric fans found in every Japanese household.

But beyond looks, this is no ordinary fan – it utilizes Panasonic’s “Nanoe” technology which generates electrostatic atomised water particles, keeping air fresh and maintaining moisture which is good for skin, especially in the dry winter months. So this fan can be used year-round.

And if that were not enough, Panasonic’s unique “Fluidic element technology” makes F-S1XJ “spread gentle wind from side to side”. And the company says it is an eco product because it has low power consumption.

It is scheduled to be available on May 20.
