V-Guard Esfera Plus BLDC review: a 35 W remote pedestal fan, but check your inverter

How we researched this

We have not used this fan. Specs, warranty and the store price come from V-Guard’s product page, and the street price, extra specs 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 draw, and we could not open the Amazon.in listing. The 35 W figure, swing angle, tilt and stand height come from Flipkart’s spec sheet, not V-Guard’s page.

What you get on paper

A 400 mm pedestal fan with five blades and a BLDC motor that V-Guard rates at 1,350 RPM and 65 m³/min of air delivery. You control it from a panel on the stem or the included remote, with speed, mode, timer and oscillation. V-Guard lists a thermal overload protector and a 100% copper motor. Flipkart adds 35 W power draw, 70° swing, 35° tilt and a 134 cm stand.

The trade-off is typical for BLDC pedestal fans: much lower power draw than an induction fan, but a modest airflow rating. The Orient Stand 82, an induction fan, lists 90 CMM at 53 to 58 W for well under half the price.

What owners report

On Flipkart it has 4.1 stars from 5,517 ratings and 610 reviews: 3,052 five-star and 511 one-star (about 9%).

The most detailed positive review calls it “pretty amazing and good looking” with decent quality, but says the LED indicators for speed, mode and oscillation are “a bit too much” and the owner would cover them with tape. The negative reviews are more worrying for an electronic motor: one says the blades “gradually slow down, then speed up again” with the panel lights staying on, one reports repeated auto-off within five days, one says it “didn’t work” on a square-wave inverter, and others call it noisy or report a defective base and a rejected return.

Support and warranty

V-Guard lists a 2-year warranty and says it has “350+ service centres” across India, a claim we have not verified. Installation is paid, according to V-Guard’s page. Flipkart gives two V-Guard toll-free numbers and a customer care email. We did not test V-Guard’s service ourselves.

Claims to treat with caution

• “Energy saving”: V-Guard’s own page gives no wattage; the 35 W figure is Flipkart’s.
• MRP of ₹8,500 is about twice what both V-Guard and Flipkart actually charge.
• “Powerful air delivery” of 65 m³/min is below several cheaper induction fans.

Should you buy it?

If the fan will run all night in a bedroom and you want a remote and timer, the Esfera Plus is a reasonable BLDC choice with a big-brand warranty. Check two things first: whether your inverter is sine wave, and whether a rival BLDC fan such as Atomberg’s RenesaSilent is cheaper on the day. If you want a strong breeze for a large room, a high-CMM induction fan will move more air.
