Cost model
What makes up the estimated cost?
TrueCost models the major components, manufacturing, assembly, packaging and landed costs required to produce the product.
Injection-moulded fan housing, grille, base and internal plastic parts
Raw materials and physical componentsThe unit uses a compact plastic body and grille with UV-resistant outdoor materials. The estimate includes resin, moulding, trimming and normal production scrap allowance.
£7.00
15.1%
Fan motor and impeller assembly
Mechanical/electromechanical componentsAllowance for a compact motor, impeller, shaft or bearing elements and motor mounting hardware suitable for the stated 36W fan and five speed settings.
£5.00
10.8%
Integral lithium-ion battery pack and protection hardware
Battery and electronicsBased on the reported 1900mAh battery data and the documented non-replaceable rechargeable pack. Includes cells, protection circuitry, wiring and pack assembly; exact cell arrangement is unknown.
£8.00
17.2%
Main control PCB, speed controls, charging and power-management electronics
ElectronicsCovers the speed-selection controls, battery management, charging regulation, mains/battery switching, indicator components and control circuitry needed for five speeds and NaturalBreeze modes.
£4.50
9.7%
Misting system: water tank, pump or atomiser, nozzle, tubing and seals
Misting subsystemThe 150ml integrated tank and ultra-fine misting function require a small fluid-delivery or atomising assembly. The specific mechanism was not identified, so this is a relatively broad estimate.
£3.50
7.5%
Mains charger and charging cable
Power supplyThe supplied charger is costed as a low-power external AC adapter and cable suitable for UK/European mains input and the approximately three-hour charge cycle.
£3.00

Model assumptions

Model assumptions
7 assumptions
- Manufacturing is assumed to take place in China, consistent with the third-party country-of-origin listing, although this is not confirmed by SharkNinja.
- The product is assumed to be produced at moderate-to-high consumer-electronics volumes, using standard injection-moulded plastic parts and an off-the-shelf brushless or electronically commutated fan motor.
- The integral lithium-ion battery is assumed to be a small single-cell or multi-cell pack broadly consistent with the reported 1900mAh capacity; exact voltage and cell configuration were not disclosed.
- The misting system is costed as a small water reservoir, pump or atomising module, nozzle, tubing and seals. The exact mist-generation technology was not disclosed.
- Landed cost is estimated before UK VAT. Freight assumes consolidated China-to-UK shipment rather than expedited air freight.
- Import-duty allowance is approximate because the precise tariff classification and preferential origin treatment were not confirmed.
- The £129.99 retail price is the current researched UK price and is not treated as a direct markup from manufacturing cost.
