The XPOWER P-230AT mini air mover is baby-sized with real drying power. Weighing under 5 kg, this light and compact unit can be carried up and down stairs with ease, and is ideal for water damage around the home.
Where It Fits
The P-230AT is for small, confined or hard-to-reach areas: bathrooms, laundries, stair treads, cupboards and small rooms where a full-size air mover will not fit or is more than the job needs. Its built-in 3-hour timer also suits short drying or cleaning-turnaround jobs where you want the unit to switch itself off. For larger areas, step up to the X-400 or X-600AC.

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
Is it powerful enough for a flooded room?
For a small room or a bathroom, used alongside a dehumidifier, yes. For a full carpeted room, larger air movers dry faster with fewer units.
How does the timer help?
Set it and the unit switches off after up to 3 hours — useful after a clean, or on short drying jobs where no one will be back to turn it off.
Can I daisy-chain it?
Yes, it has an onboard outlet. Add up the current of every unit on the chain and stay within the circuit and outlet rating.
Why is the CFM lower than some websites show?
US listings are for the 115 V / 60 Hz model. CCW's figure is for the 230 V unit.
