The verdict
The Crompton HiFlo Wave Plus is a 400 mm, 60 W induction pedestal fan rated at 85 CMM with a 2-year warranty, ₹3,518 on Flipkart with 3.8 stars from 2,349 ratings. It suits buyers who want a Crompton-backed basic fan; the catch is that cheaper fans list more airflow and about 15% of ratings are one-star.
Best for
- Buyers who specifically want Crompton's brand and 2-year warranty on a simple button-operated fan
Skip it if
- You want the most airflow per rupee; Orient's Stand 82 lists 90 CMM for about half the price
- You run a fan all night and care about the power bill; BLDC fans draw about 35 W
- You want a remote or timer
What we like
- Crompton lists a 2-year warranty from the date of purchase
- Thermal overload protection and 100% copper winding (Crompton, Flipkart)
- Three speeds, smooth oscillation and a tilt mechanism
What we don’t
- ₹3,518 on Flipkart for specs (85 CMM, 60 W) that budget rivals match or beat for less
- About 15% of 2,349 Flipkart ratings are one-star, the highest share among the fans we researched
- Owner complaints include weak airflow, poor fittings and noise even at speed 1
- Flipkart has a second Wave Plus listing with a 1-year warranty, so check which one you buy

In this review
How we researched this
We have not used this fan. Specs and warranty come from Crompton’s HiFlo Wave Plus page, and price and ratings from the Flipkart listing and its reviews, read on 12 November 2026. We found no independent hands-on review.
We could not measure airflow, noise or power, and we could not open the Amazon.in listing. Crompton’s page lists ₹4,449 and points buyers to Amazon, Flipkart or stores.
What you get on paper
A 400 mm pedestal fan with three polypropylene blades and an induction motor that Crompton rates at 85 CMM, 1,330 RPM and 60 W. It has three speed buttons, oscillation, a tilt mechanism and thermal overload protection. The base is square and the body is ABS plastic. There is no remote, timer or display.
Nothing here is unusual, which is the problem at this price. The Orient Stand 82 lists 90 CMM at 53 to 58 W for about half the money, and the V-Guard Esfera Plus adds a BLDC motor and remote for about ₹700 more.
What owners report
On Flipkart this listing has 3.8 stars from 2,349 ratings and 183 reviews: 1,098 five-star and 345 one-star (about 15%). That one-star share is the highest among the pedestal fans we researched.
The positive reviews are brief: “fan speed is fast”, “overall good stand fan”. One owner notes speed 1 is already high and noisy. The negative ones say there is “no sufficient air flow”, that it runs slowly, that material arrived broken and that fittings are poor. The sample of written reviews is small.
Support and warranty
Crompton lists a 2-year warranty from the date of purchase, which the main Flipkart listing matches. Crompton’s page gives a contact number (9228880505) and a support email. A separate Flipkart listing for the same fan is titled with a 1-year warranty and has only 18 ratings, so stick to the 2-year listing. We did not test Crompton’s service ourselves.
Claims to treat with caution
- “Noiseless” and “silent operations” appear in the Flipkart specs with no decibel figure.
- “HiFlo” is a name, not a measurement; the rated 85 CMM is lower than some cheaper fans.
Should you buy it?
Only if you find it close to the price of the Orient Stand 82 or you specifically want Crompton’s warranty. At ₹3,500 it asks more than its specs and owner ratings justify. For similar money, a BLDC fan with a remote is the better buy, and for less money, the Orient Stand 82 lists more airflow.

Questions buyers ask
How much air does the Crompton HiFlo Wave Plus deliver?
Crompton rates it at 85 CMM at 1,330 RPM. That is a little less than the Orient Stand 82 (90 CMM) and more than the V-Guard Esfera Plus BLDC (65 CMM). We have not measured it.
What is the warranty on the HiFlo Wave Plus?
Crompton's page lists 2 years from the date of purchase, and the main Flipkart listing matches. A second Flipkart listing for the same fan is titled "1 Year Warranty", so check the listing title before you order.
Is the HiFlo Wave Plus noisy?
Flipkart's spec sheet lists "silent operations" and calls it "noiseless", but one Flipkart owner says speed 1 is already fast and "makes noise". We have no measured figure.
