Xiaomi Standing Fan 2 Standing & Desktop Fan with Smart APP Control

My partner is seemingly a descendent of ancient magma dwelling folk. She takes showers that would cook potatoes and would probably be able to sleep through the heat of a house fire. I'm the opposite. However, in spite of all her resilience she's incapable of falling asleep with even a whisper of fan noise. This fan has saved our marriage as it's immensely quiet, it allows me to sleep in comfort, and with some fine tuned angles it also allows my partner to sleep in the inhumane conditions she desires.

Have been using it for a while, and I'm very happy with it so far.

Pros:
Super quiet - on the two lowest settings, which are ideal for sleeping, you can barely hear it. Ideal for bedrooms, lounge rooms, offices.
Powerful - it might look small but it moves the air around just as well (if not better) than any larger/noisier fan I’ve owned.
Sturdy - it is made well and feels nice and sturdy. And being of solid plastic construction, it won’t go rusty like virtually every other fan I’ve owned.
Compact - it’s a good compact size for a bedroom.

No visible lights - the controls are behind the fan, not on the stem, so there are no visible lights lighting up the bedroom at night.

Cons
Nothing I can think of right now and I plan on buying a couple more for use around the house come next summer.

I went off circular fans a while back and bought a series of tower fans that all performed OK but never lasted. When the most rect tower fan did I did some research on popular fans this one kept being brought up time and time again and since it is so cheap I figured I'd give it a shot. Well, damn! This thing is absolutely the best fan I've ever experienced — far superior to much more expensive fans. On hot days, the full speed setting is powerful enough to bring genuine relief, and at night the Natural Breeze setting is much more than just a gimmick, its like a gentle tide of air going in and out which have given me the best sleeps of my life...view more I went off circular fans a while back and bought a series of tower fans that all performed OK but never lasted.

The app functionality is great and provides granular control, however, very few of these controls are exposed to Google Home, so if you want to do anything other than turn the fan on and off or change the speed, you'll have to go into the Mi app rather than use a voice assistant or Google Home. If you use Home Assistant, there's an integration that exposes everything in the Mi app.

The description calls the fan "height adjustable" which is technically correct but a bit misleading. When I think of height adjustable, I think a telescopic mechanism which allows me to adjust to my exact desired height. This fan has one single non-adjustable middle extension-post, allowing it to be one of either two fixed heights. The biggest flaw of this fan is that even with the extension-post, it's not very high. For me, it is *just* at the right height to be able to reach over my average-height bed frame. A third-extension post or a telescopic mechanism in the existing post would make the height range a lot more versatile.

But this is nit-picking, really. It's the best fan experience I've ever had, and it's not even close, which is crazy given how cheap it is!

I've only had it for a few months, so I can't speak to its longevity, but there are enough glowing reports out there from other people who seem satisfied on this front.

This is the one! Stop looking. Just buy this fan!

This is the second season using these fans. Admittedly they look a little cheap but that is all. Subjectively, there seems to be little degradation in the motor after 2 straight years of use. We have 2. The natural wind function is great over summer along with being able to be controlled via Google Home. I did think it was a little short to begin with, but after 2 years they are ideal us as we have them in bedrooms and lounge. At medium normal fan settings it's very quite and the natural wind function makes it almost silent. Nothing else on the market like it yet. This is the second season using these fans.

Pros:
- It looks good / sleek design
- Relatively quiet

Cons:
- Horrible loud beeping noise when pressing a button
- Overpriced for what it is

Overall I'd say it's a decent fan, not great, not bad. Pros:

I bought this to upgrade our 10+ year old warehouse fan and from day 1 I have been impressed!
On its lowest setting it moves almost as much air as the old 50W fan did on it's highest setting!
Pros:
-Super quiet on the lower levels of 1 or 2. I often forget it's even on! I'm a somewhat light sleeper but this doesnt disturb me at all, it does get a bit louder on 3 or 4 though.
-Much more airflow than the old one - no contest! it would be like comparing the light of a cellphone torch to a ceiling bulb.
-Nice sturdy base that doesnt bend or collapse when you accidentally step on it in the middle of the night on your way to the loo LOL

Cons:
-The beep whenever you press a button is quite loud (wakes me up whenever my partner adjusts it)
-It is not as tall as most pedestal fans and the height cant be adjusted (other than by removing the extension to transform it into a desktop fan) We have to put it on a box to raise it up enough for the breeze to reach us in bed. It really needs another small vertical extension, unfortunately they arent even sold separately. Google turned up a few people who made a project of 3D printing one.
-The wifi app/functions (to fine tune the speed and turn the annoying beep off) seem a bit gimmicky and we couldn't get it to work. I'm sure there's an easier way to turn off a beep without needing to download an app.
Summary:
If it was 10cm taller and didnt beep, it would be the perfect fan!

This fan is honestly beyond legendary.

I originally purchased this for my gaming room for those sweaty lengthy summer game sessions but also started using it for sleepless Summer nights, they have a light fan option which gives a perfect QUIET breeze to help keep me cool while I sleep. It also blows hard on the regular setting which is lovely.

Waiting for another special to come on so I can snatch up a could more before they sell out in Summer again so I don't have to drag my fan from room to room.

Have been using this for about a week or 2 now, and I must say, its a lot quieter than our tower fan that we have been using. (Kambrook tower fan). Fan settings go from 1-100, so far iv been using it between 10-20 for a light breeze at night. The mi home app can control turning left and right, the delayed turn off timer and notification sound. It's not completely silent as you can still hear the light whirl of the fans, but substantially quieter than the tower fan. Also surprisingly covers a wider than expected horizontal area.

TLDR: Worth the buy as long as you have a smartphone that can run the mi home app (most will).

I've given this fan 5 stars for its basic manual performance. It's the best fan I've ever had and is completely useable on manual controls only. Yes, I would love to be able to use it through the app, unfortunately it refuses to connect (my phone does recognise it, but it won't connect to the Internet). I sent my first fan back to PB Tech who replaced it without question. Unfortunately, the replacement also would not connect to the Internet. As I have numerous Xiaomi devices running through the app, I'm taking responsibility for the fan not connecting and I suspect it might be a modem issue. Despite this I am getting great value from this fan...view more I've given this fan 5 stars for its basic manual performance.

Thanks for the great product quickly delivery. Thanks for the great product quickly delivery.

Fan is very quiet with good fan strength. Great for at night in a bedroom. Breeze function is gentler than constant fan.
The two lengths if pole make it perfect for standing on floor or a cabinet. Base is sturdy.
Bonus points for ability to turn off the beep button noises and the LED lights using the app. Fan is very quiet with good fan strength. Great for at night in a bedroom. Breeze function is gentler than constant fan.
