The XPOWER X-400 is a multi-purpose utility air mover with an ABS housing — affordable and durable. This small air mover is made to endure the elements and suits indoor and outdoor use.
Where It Fits
The X-400 is the entry point to CCW's XPOWER centrifugal range: light enough to carry several at a time, with enough airflow for carpet and floor drying in bedrooms, hallways and small commercial areas. It has no carpet clamp — for pulling back carpet and drying underneath, the X-600AC and X-800 come with one.

- 3-speed
- 4 position usage (0°, 20°, 45°, 90°)
- Kickstand

Note on horsepower: this listing was previously titled 0.46 hp, which is the 345 W input converted to horsepower. XPOWER rate the motor at 1/4 hp — motor ratings describe output, not input power, so the two figures are not a conflict in the machine, only in how it was described. CCW's listing gives 1600 CFM, which matches XPOWER's US figure for the X-400A.
Positioning for Drying
- Use the 0° or 20° kickstand position for carpet and hard floors, with the outlet close to the surface.
- Angle air movers in the same direction around the room to set up a circular airflow.
- Use 45° and 90° for walls, stairs and under-bench areas.
- Run air movers with dehumidification — moving air evaporates water, and a dehumidifier has to take it out of the room.
Electrical Safety
- Plug into an earthed outlet protected by an RCD, and keep leads off wet floors where you can.
- Include the unit in your test-and-tag schedule.
- Before daisy-chaining or running several units on one circuit, add up the current draw of every unit and stay within the circuit and outlet rating. The figures on this page are CCW's listing for the 230 V unit.
- Do not run the unit if the lead, plug or housing is damaged.
Care
- Keep the inlet grille clear of lint and debris — a blocked inlet cuts airflow and makes the motor run hot.
- Wipe the housing down after Category 2 or 3 losses and before the unit goes to the next job.
- If the thermal protection trips, switch off, unplug, clear the inlet and let the motor cool before restarting.
Choosing Between CCW's XPOWER Air Movers
| Model | Type | Rated airflow (CCW listing) | Weight | Carpet clamp |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| P-230AT Mini | Centrifugal, compact | 700 CFM | 4.3 kg | No |
| PL-700A Low Profile | Low profile | 1000 CFM | 8.7 kg | No |
| X-400 | Centrifugal | 1600 CFM | 7.3 kg | No |
| X-600AC | Centrifugal | 2400 CFM | 8.6 kg | Yes |
| X-800 | Centrifugal | 3200 CFM | 11.2 kg | Yes |
| X-47ATR | Axial fan | 2800 CFM | 11.3 kg | No |
Centrifugal air movers push a concentrated, high-velocity stream across the surface — the right tool for drying carpet, underlay and floors. Axial fans move a larger, wider body of air at lower pressure — better for general air circulation, ventilation and large open areas. Low-profile units get under cabinets, beds and toe-kicks.
Frequently Asked Questions
Can it be used outdoors?
CCW lists it for indoor and outdoor use. Keep the unit and the plug out of rain and standing water.
Does it daisy-chain?
CCW's listing for this model does not show an onboard power outlet. The X-600AC and P-230AT listings do.
Does it come with a multi drying kit?
No. The X-400 multi drying kit is sold separately.
How many do I need per room?
It depends on the area, the materials and the drying standard you work to. Size the job on the water class and the room, not on a fixed number per room.
