Shark Flex Breeze Portable Fan - Apex 66 (2024)

FAQs

Is the Shark FlexBreeze worth it? ›

TechRadar Verdict

The Shark FlexBreeze is a brilliant fan if you're after a versatile option that can be used virtually anywhere. It's powerful and silent, offering one of the cleverest and most versatile use cases of any fan.

Whisper-quiet, yet incredibly powerful

Even on the highest settings, FlexBreeze's ultra quiet blades create a white noise that's gentle enough to use in the bedroom.

The Shark FlexBreeze Fan wins in a number of ways, but most importantly: it's powerful and quiet. It can cool you down instantly without making a distracting amount of noise. It's also completely portable with a 24-hour battery life, and is able to convert between pedestal and tabletop fans.

The Shark Detect Pro is the best Shark vacuum around right now, and one of the very best cordless vacuums on the market in general. It's one of the newest models out, and as such, packs the most complete range of features of any Shark vac – but it still comes in at a reasonable price.

Most Shark vacuums we've reviewed can effectively clean floors, but some models may work better or worse for certain flooring types. For instance, if you're looking for a vacuum that works well on plush carpet, then an upright vacuum like the Shark Apex (available at Amazon for $329.99) may be your best bet.

Noise Level

The company reported that it generates 32.4 decibels on the lowest setting and 58.5 decibels on the highest setting.

Over time, filters gather up so much dirt. This affects the vacuum cleaner as it has to work harder to create enough suction to properly clean your surfaces. As a result, your Shark vacuum will begin to make those weird and annoying suction noises.

The fan even works when it's charging and takes 5 hours to fully charge from 0%.

The orca's bite force is estimated to be around 19,000 pounds per square inch (psi), while the great white shark's bite is closer to 4,000 psi. An orca's teeth are designed for tearing or shredding, but not for chewing; they consume their food in chunks or swallow their prey whole.

As we mentioned earlier, more blades make the fan quieter, but they can also put more strain on the motor. Most home ceiling fans have 4 or 5 blades to strike a good balance between moving air effectively and minimizing noise.

Does the Shark Flex cause heat damage? ›

The Shark FlexStyle uses powerful airflow and less direct heat, making it much less damaging to hair compared to regular curling irons, straighteners, and blow dryers.

The brand recommends to use the styling attachments on slightly damp hair, but even after wash day, it still does a good job at curling and boosting volume when completely dry.

While you can use the AirWrap to dry hair, you cannot use it with just-out-of-the-shower hair (it's intended to be used with damp to almost-dry hair) which is a huge hit to its value. If you wanted to invest in a full hair dryer, you're adding that on to the already-steep $600 price tag of the Dyson.

In addition to those we have – sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste – sharks have two other senses, mediated by specialized receptors: electroreceptors and lateral lines. A shark's most acute sense, the one it may use to detect prey from the greatest distance, is probably its sense of hearing.

The Shark Pet Cordless Stick Vacuum isn't the most powerful or versatile option out there today. It's effective for quick cleaning tasks, working well as a hand vacuum and on hard floors, but it's not ideal if your pets have long hair or your home has a lot of carpeting.

The breathing process for sharks begins and ends with their gills, which they use to both extract oxygen from water and rid their bodies of carbon dioxide. Here's the quick version of how it works, according to Sharkopedia: As water passes over the gills, small capillaries allow oxygen to enter the bloodstream.

The PowerFins are a unique design. I can feel the vacuum gliding across the carpet or floor as it is picking up everything. I really like vacuuming with the Shark and the results of a clean environment. [This review was collected as part of a promotion.]
