Feature Stories

Official lifestyle visual: wide-area airflow in everyday use
Fold-flat portability
AirFold turns a full-size fan head into a slim, pocket-friendly shape, so it is easier to pack, store, and carry without planning around it.
Its foldable guard structure reduces storage volume by 79.5%, making the fan more bag-friendly than a conventional handheld design.
A softer natural breeze
A larger blade gives the airflow a wider, gentler feel, so the cooling does not hit the face like a narrow jet of hard wind.
The foldable propeller-style blade works with a wide-area airflow path to deliver up to 2.24 m³/min of air.
Laifen self-developed motor
The motor is tuned for steady performance, strong output, and a calmer sound profile during everyday use.
Laifen uses its self-developed axial-flux motor system to fit stronger airflow into a thinner, foldable body.
Four speeds, one button
From a soft indoor breeze to a stronger outdoor boost, AirFold gives users simple control without a complicated interface.
Speeds 1-3 cover daily comfort, while Turbo mode provides a quick burst of stronger airflow when heat builds up.
Long battery life, easier charging
AirFold is built for a full day of errands, commuting, desk work, or travel without needing constant top-ups.
The 5000mAh lithium battery runs for up to 14 hours on Speed 1, charges through USB-C, and supports pass-through use in Modes 1-3; Turbo is unavailable while charging.
Safety built into the structure
The fan is designed to stop quickly when the guard is opened or the blade is obstructed, reducing everyday risk in bags, homes, and shared spaces.
Protective blade sensing, an open-guard shutdown, and a magnetic folding structure help keep the product practical as well as portable.
A finish that lasts
Low-saturation colors make AirFold easy to match with bags, desks, and summer outfits without feeling like a seasonal gadget.
ABS, high-strength heat-resistant fabric, stainless steel guard framing, and TPE-wrapped composite blades give the product a durable finish that stays clean and timeless.

Compatibility & Charging
Charging Source Compatibility
Charge conveniently with your daily portable power supplies without special adapters.
Use certified 5V/2A (10W max) USB‑C power banks, wall adapters or laptop USB‑C ports for stable charging. Charge only in environments between 0°C–40°C; temperatures exceeding 60°C activate thermal protection and suspend charging automatically.
Pass-through Charging Function
Keep cooling while charging during long outings with clear mode limitations.
Speeds 1–3 support pass‑through operation when plugged in; Turbo mode cannot be activated while charging.
Care & Cleaning
Simple Blade Disassembly & Dust Removal
Quickly clear dust buildup to maintain full airflow and consistent cooling performance.
Grab the blade hub and pull evenly to detach blades; wipe with a soft dry cloth, then reattach until you hear a “click” to lock in place. Do not immerse any electronic parts in water !
Waterproof Reminder
No waterproof construction, so moisture exposure will damage internal electronic components.
Do not rinse, soak or use the fan in bathrooms, humid or rainy surroundings; fully dry any damp surfaces before powering on.
Safe Cleaning Supplies
Protect the premium exterior finish from fading and scratches.
Only soft dry cloths are permitted for cleaning; solvent, paint thinner and liquid chemical cleaners will corrode plastic, stainless steel frames and TPE blades.
Long-Term Storage Instructions
Prevent permanent battery capacity loss during extended idle periods.
If storing for over 3 months, fully charge the fan, power off, fold flat and store in cool, dry locations below 60°C / 140°F, away from direct sunlight and high heat.
Daily Protection Tips
Reduce wear and tear to extend the fan’s overall service life.
Avoid dropping, knocking or squeezing the unit; stop using immediately if the grille, blades or casing crack after impact.

FAQs
Q: Is AirFold safe for children?
A: The fan incorporates an emergency stop sensor that instantly shuts off the blades when the mesh is opened or when foreign objects touch the spinning blades. However, for safety, children under 14 years of age must be supervised by an adult while using the device. The fan is not intended for persons with reduced physical, sensory, or mental capabilities without proper oversight.
Q: Can I bring AirFold on an airplane?
A: Yes. The built‑in 5,000mAh lithium‑ion battery is well below the 100Wh airline limit. Devices with installed batteries are generally allowed in carry‑on luggage. Spare batteries or power banks must never be placed in checked baggage. Always verify with your specific airline before travel.
Q: Can I use AirFold while charging?
A: Yes, pass‑through charging is supported for Speed 1‑3. However, Turbo mode is unavailable during charging. Use a 5V/2A or higher USB‑C power source (power bank or adapter) for optimal charging.
Q: How long does the battery last?
A: With its 5,000mAh battery, AirFold runs for up to 14 hours on the lowest setting (Speed 1). Actual runtime depends on the selected speed and usage conditions.
Q: How do I clean AirFold?
A: The fan features a quick‑release blade assembly. Detach the blade (grip the hub and pull evenly), wipe it with a soft, dry cloth, and reattach until you hear a “click”. Do not immerse any electronic parts in water – the unit is not waterproof.
Q: How many wind speeds does AirFold have?
A: Four modes: Speeds 1‑3 (gentle to strong breeze) and Turbo (wide‑area airflow). Double‑tap the power button to cycle through 1‑3; triple‑tap quickly to enter Turbo mode.
Q: What do the indicator lights mean?
A:
- White lights: show current wind speed (1‑3) or battery level (during charging).
- Orange light: indicates Turbo mode is active.
- Charging LEDs: 4 white bars indicate 100% charge, 3 bars ~80%, 2 bars ~60%, 1 bar ~40%, and 1 bar flashing slowly means <40% (below 5% the fan auto‑shuts off).
Q: What are the emergency stop features?
A: Two safety mechanisms:
Blade obstruction: if an object or finger touches the blade, the motor stops instantly.
Open guard: if the front mesh is accidentally opened, power is cut immediately.
Q: What should I do if I see error‑code flashing lights?
A: The fan may flash orange patterns (e.g., 1‑2‑3 lights) to indicate issues like over‑voltage, sensor faults, or motor phase problems. In all such cases, stop using the fan, disconnect the power, and contact Laifen Support for diagnostics – do not attempt to repair it yourself.
Q: Is AirFold waterproof?
A: No. Do not expose it to rain, moisture, or steam. Clean only with a dry cloth; if the surface gets wet, dry it thoroughly before use. Never submerge the unit.
Q: How do I store AirFold for a long time?
A: If you plan to store the fan for more than 3 months, charge it to full, turn it off, fold it into its compact carrying shape, and keep it in a cool, dry place (avoid temperatures above 60°C / 140°F).
