Midea FS40-19K stand fan review: two fans for ₱2,500

The Midea FS40-19K is our Best 2-in-1 stand fan: a 50W convertible that drops from a stand fan to a desk fan, carrying a 5-year motor warranty from Midea’s own Shopee store, at around ₱2,500.

What does the 2-in-1 design actually give you?

One fan that covers two jobs. Mounted on the full pole it is a normal 16-inch stand fan for a bedroom or a small sala. Take the pole off and the head sits on the base as a desk fan for a study table, a sari-sari store counter, or a work desk.

That is genuinely useful in a small Filipino home, where floor space is the scarce resource and a second fan means a second thing to store in the rainy season. Be realistic about the swap, though: you are unbolting a stand pole, not flicking a switch. This is a change you make when a room changes, not a daily move.

The motor is a 50W AC unit, which puts it between the thirsty 65W fans and the 35W DC models. Midea publishes no airflow figure, so there is no m³/min number to compare against the Asahi fans, and that is worth knowing before you buy.

Speeds are three push-buttons, with wide-range oscillation. No timer, no remote.

How is the build?

Standard Midea plastic in white, sized at 16 inches with a 40cm blade. It runs on 230V at 60Hz, which is the local supply, and the build reads as a normal mid-market fan rather than anything special.

What lifts it is the paperwork. Midea Philippines states a 5-year motor warranty, which at this price is unusual: most ₱2,500 fans carry one year. Combined with the fact that this is Midea’s own Shopee store rather than a reseller, it is a strong after-sales position for a budget fan.

The omissions are the ones you expect at the price. Three fixed speeds means no fine control, and the missing timer means the fan runs until somebody turns it off. On a fan meant to run overnight, that is the feature we would most want back.

Is the Midea FS40-19K sulit?

Around ₱2,500 as of August 27, 2026. Check the latest price on Shopee. It ties with the Asahi PF-631 as the cheapest fan in our roundup.

Running cost at 50W and eight hours a night is about 12 kWh a month, roughly ₱177 at around ₱14.78 per kWh (Meralco, August 2026). That is about ₱54 a month cheaper than a 65W AC fan and about ₱53 a month dearer than a 35W DC one, which is a fair reflection of where it sits.

The better value angle is the warranty. Spread ₱2,500 across the stated 5-year motor cover and it works out at under ₱1.40 a day, and unlike most cheap fans there is a manufacturer standing behind that period. If you are buying two fans for a small house, buying this twice is a defensible plan.

The 4.9 rating rests on 1,092 raters, a solid sample for a fan at this price.

Who the Midea FS40-19K suits

Buy this if you live in a small space and want one fan that works on the floor and on a table. It is the right choice for a studio, a bedroom that doubles as a home office, or a small business counter, and for anyone who cares more about a long warranty than about a timer. If the fan will run overnight every night, spend up for a DC model with a timer instead.

If the Midea FS40-19K is not right

If you want the same convertible idea with real electronics, the Midea FS40-18AR adds a DC inverter motor, 12 speeds, a 12-hour timer, and a remote for around ₱5,000. If you would rather have raw airflow than versatility, the Asahi PF-631 publishes 71.6 m³/min at the same price.
