Have you ever found yourself operating a fan's buttons with your foot? A survey conducted by Siroca revealed that approximately 80%*1 of respondents had "operated it with their foot" or "almost always operate it with their foot." Comments included, "I can't help but do it, but I feel it's impolite and hard to say out loud," and "Even though I know I should press it with my hand, bending down is a hassle." Siroca's "Shagamima-sen" turns this foot operation from "lazy" into the "correct answer."
With large, easy-to-see button placement designed for high operability, power ON/OFF and fan speed adjustment can be done by simply touching lightly with your foot. As the name suggests, it allows for easy operation without bending down, reducing strain on your back and being convenient when both hands are full. It's not just about "making the buttons bigger"; various durability tests and design considerations were repeated to achieve both strength and high operability for foot use. Furthermore, it is equipped with Siroca's unique "Fuwa-Byuun Technology," which delivers a wide range of airflow from gentle to powerful, focusing not only on operability but also on wind quality and quietness.
Why not spend a comfortable summer with the "Shagamima-sen," which anyone can use intuitively?
Product Features
1. Just touch with your foot! Large buttons for operation without bending down
2. "Fuwa-Byuun Technology" achieves both "quiet and gentle wind" and "powerful wind"
3. 2-stage oscillation selectable according to the scene
4. "Koko-Pita" function to deliver wind where you want it
5. "Mimamori Function" to send air according to room temperature
1. Just touch with your foot! Large buttons for operation without bending down
The three frequently used buttons (power / fan speed UP / fan speed DOWN) are made large, easy to see, and operable by lightly touching with your foot without bending down. To ensure peace of mind even if stepped on forcefully, various durability tests were conducted to achieve strength and reliability. The buttons adopt a capacitive touch sensor, allowing operation even while wearing socks.
[For such scenes]
For the elderly or pregnant women who find it difficult to bend down when both hands are full.
* When operating, always keep your heel on the floor and lightly touch the button with your toes.
* Since the buttons are touch sensor type (capacitive type), they cannot be operated with slippers or shoes. They may also not react if your feet are dry.
* Do not operate buttons other than the power button and fan speed buttons with your foot.
2. "Fuwa-Byuun Technology" achieves both "quiet and gentle wind" and "powerful wind"
Equipped with Siroca's unique "Fuwa-Byuun Technology," which combines blades, guard, and motor. With the unique thinness and warp angle of the blades, for which a patent has been obtained, this single unit can provide everything from quiet and gentle wind suitable for comfortable sleep to powerful wind ideal for room ventilation and clothes drying. Furthermore, at the minimum fan speed, the sound emitted by the fan is approximately 12dB*2, quieter than the sound of "rustling leaves," making it highly quiet and suitable for use during sleep without disturbing it.

3. 2-stage oscillation selectable according to the scene
The horizontal oscillation angle can be selected from two stages, 75 degrees / 120 degrees, according to the scene. The vertical angle of the head can be manually adjusted and can be directed straight up, which is useful for circulating air throughout the room.
4. "Koko-Pita" function to deliver wind where you want it
By pressing and holding the "Koko-Pita button" on the remote control in the direction you want the wind to go, and releasing the button at the desired position, the direction of the head can be finely adjusted. It can be adjusted within a range of 60° to the left and right from the front, allowing wind to be delivered precisely where you want it.
5. "Mimamori Function" to send air according to room temperature
The temperature sensor installed in the main unit detects the room temperature and automatically switches to the appropriate fan speed and operating state according to the room temperature. Since operation stops when the detected room temperature falls below 24°C, air can be sent efficiently, which is useful for sleeping or as a measure against heatstroke.
