SwitchBot Smart Desk Fan for Bedroom, 22dB Ultra Quiet, 90° Oscillation, Battery Operated, 9 Speeds, 9H Timer, Alexa/Google/Siri Compatible (Hub Required), Portable Air Circulator for Indoor & Outdoor

Decent semi portable smart fan
This is a fan that’s intended for a smaller area. It doesn’t move much air unless turned onto the maximum setting. For the sale price ($60-70 USD) it offers a lot. At its regular price I’d probably not have considered this product, as originally I was not looking for anything more than a DC powered fan. The brand I was looking for was sold out, and I’d always wanted to try a SwitchBot product so I decided to order this during Prime Days.It has an intuitive remote – it reminds me of early Apple TV remotes/iPod shuffle. The controls on the unit are less intuitive – it took reading the manual to realize the wind symbol is supposed to control the speed in normal operation mode. I can’t get that capacitive button to do anything yet, though the “M” button next to it does cycle through the 3 automated modes as described.The battery option is nice, as are having two corded options to power it (USB-C and AC power cord).I misunderstood how this connects, but that doesn’t affect my rating.It uses Bluetooth and the SwitchBot app. You do need their hub to connect it to HomeKit (Apple).It looks like it can be connected to HomeAssistant (open source DIY Home control/automation) via Bluetooth (no additional hub) if you have that platform. I’ll try that later.The app interface for the fan is decent, though I probably won’t use it much.It’s quiet, and the oscillation options are easier to use than similar fans I’ve tried. I do wish it were a bit more powerful but it seems solidly constructed. I like that it’s relatively portable.The user manual threw me for a loop when I saw the use of “inflammable” to describe flammable. Somehow I’ve managed to avoid that word my whole life. It is synonymous with flammable but the two extra letters add confusion as they do not mean “not” in this context. I know it’s a valid word choice, but generally safety information should be as straightforward as possible and should avoid possibly confusing terms. There is no reason in modern English for both inflammable and flammable to exist and for both to mean the same thing.

Super quiet fan
I give this fan a 5-star for its quality of build, aesthetics, noise level and features. It’s priced reasonably considering the airflow, horizontal and vertical oscillation, night light with two levels of brightness, and three modes of operation, normal, night, and baby. It also has a remote, rechargeable battery and ability to be controlled using phone. I purchased another fan that had a 28 decibel rating. There was a noticeable hum that wasn’t unbearable but I was looking for the quietest fan for sleeping. I purchased this fan because of the 22 decibel rating. I don’t know if it’s actually 22 but this fan is completely silent through the first three speed levels. There are 9 total. The first level is sufficient for me. I didn’t give a five star because the fan is much larger than depicted and takes up quite a bit of space on my night stand. The fan in the depiction has a cell phone next to it and the cell phone appears to reach above half way of the vertical side support. I have an iPhone 15 Plus and it only reaches half way up that vertical support. Two iPhones stacked would equal the height of the vertical support. Total height is 3 iPhones stacked, minus about an inch and a half. The circular face of the fan is about one and one half iPhones horizontally.

Great fan thats highly portable and very smart
This is an excellent smart fan, firstly the fan moves a lot of air and is much quieter than any fans ive had before, but secondly the ability to place the fan anywhere even i there is no power socket is very convenient.I also like the smart features you can utilise. I have lots of sensors in my home and I can trigger this fan to turn on or off based on lots of different events such as the temperature going above x or movement being detected for exampleIm waiting for it to come back into to stock so I can buy another one!

Just the cooling fans I needed.
These fans fit perfectly w/my other Switchbot items. I got two of them to move around my home. They do that well and are quiet.Huge plus, for me, that I can control them from the same app as my Curtains.

This is a great smart fan that is both very powerful on high and very silent on low. It’s larger than I expected and throws an excellent amount of air. It makes virtually no sound on low but still moves enough air to keep me feeling comfortable at my desk. The two-axis oscillation is nice as I can angle it based on where I am in the room without having to move the fan. You cannot angle it below the horizontal axis of the fan, only upward.HomeAssistant integration: As a SwitchBot product, it works in HomeAssistant, and locally through Bluetooth at that, which is exceptional. Unfortunately, the HomeAssistant integration is lacking as the vertical oscillation cannot be turned on and off via Home Assistant. Furthermore, you cannot set the vertical and horizontal tilt positions via HomeAssistant. The nightlight also cannot be controlled via home assistant. All of this can be controlled through the SwitchBot app so hopefully it’s a matter of time before the HA integration is updated. By default the fan beeps when settings are changed but this can be disabled in the SwitchBot app under Advanced Settings.It works continuously while plugged in, but can be unplugged and moved around and still function due to its internal battery. It has both an AC port for mains voltage and USB-C input for charging; interesting design choice to include both. It comes with the AC cord.Overall, it’s a great product, but for the price, I’d wish the HomeAssistant integration was fully-featured.

It’s very well crafted my issue is the power it’s not super powerful
