A Surprise Comeback!? Releasing the 'USB Powerful Electric Fan', Returning After 10 Years Since the 2nd Generation in 2016

Thanko Inc. (Location: Chiyoda-ku, Tokyo; Representative Director: Taichi Arai) released the "USB Powerful Electric Fan" on May 29. It will be sold at the Thanko official online store, partner retailers, and various EC sites. View details Does anyone remember? It has been about 10 years since the 2nd generation model was released in 2016. That summer tradition representing Thanko, the "Electric Fan," has evolved further and returned for the summer of the Reiwa era. It reproduces the flexibility of a traditional fan, creating a natural and comfortable breeze different from electric fans or circulators. Boasting the most powerful airflow in the history of Thanko's electric fans, it can be adjusted steplessly from a gentle breeze to a strong wind. With a sturdy steel base and non-slip pads, it has overcome the past weakness of "self-propelling due to recoil." Since it is USB-powered, using a mobile battery allows it to be used not only indoors but also on balconies or during camping. Furthermore, the fan part is replaceable. You can use a bamboo fan to enhance the atmosphere of a cool evening, or set your favorite "oshi" (idol/character) fan to admire them while staying cool. It can also be used as a moving POP display in stores to attract attention. Recommended for those who dislike the cold air of air conditioners and want to cool down with a natural breeze, or those who want to create their own comfortable breeze space. ■ 3rd generation model returning with significant evolution from the 2016 2nd generation ■ Most powerful airflow in the history of Thanko electric fans ■ Stepless airflow adjustment from gentle breeze to strong wind via dial ■ Steel base and non-slip pads effectively prevent self-propelling due to recoil ■ USB-powered and compatible with mobile batteries for indoor/outdoor use ■ Simple assembly with only the included hex wrench ■ Replaceable fan part, suitable for traditional bamboo fans, "fan activities," or store POPs ・Size / Main unit: Width 420 x Depth 180 x Height 400 (mm) 　　　　 Fan: Width 295 x Height 420 (mm) ・Weight / Approx. 1.7kg ・Power / USB 5V 2.0A or higher ・Power Consumption / Approx. 6.5W ・Compatible Fan Sizes / Handle length: 90~130mm, Handle thickness: approx. 4mm, Handle width: approx. 20mm, Fan section: within Height 280 x Width 295mm 　　　　　　　　　　　　　*Fans larger than the included ones cannot be used. ・Cable Length / Approx. 1.5m ・Material / Main unit: ABS, Aluminum; Base: Iron ・Set Contents / Main unit, Base, USB Type-C cable, Fans (2 types), Fan fixing screw, Assembly screws, Hex wrench, Japanese instruction manual ・Warranty Period / 12 months from the date of purchase ・Release Date / 2026/5/29 ・Model Number/JAN / DNUC26SWH/4580060604425 USB Powerful Electric Fan [Price] 9,980 yen (tax included) https://www.thanko.jp/view/item/000000004852 ■Contact Information for Product Inquiries Thanko Inc.
