    Anyone here used this personally? How strong is the base to hold this steady and the mount for the fan to go up and down?

    • Xinjiang on 20/05/2019 - 14:32

      would also like to know, not sure if anyone did purchased one of these tho.

        Cool story dude, so who inherited the fan then? And what's a lost soul like yours doing at OzB?

    • karkashian on 20/05/2019 - 22:02

      The base is solid and screwed in - no problems moving it around. The fan does not move up and down, it's a fixed height.
      The phone app is great and the fan runs silent on the lower settings. I mostly use mine on natural wind mode. The battery has lasted over 5 hours when i moved it to another room.
      Mine was $80 from taobao - i first tried to get it from kogan but after 8 weeks and it still not shipping i cancelled it and only waited 3 weeks from taobao.
      You might want to check the model though becuase this might the the first generation….mine is a second generation.

    Certainly the cheapest price you're likely to find anywhere. However, I'm a little bit concerned how usable it will be without a dedicated remote control. Having to open an app to turn it on/off or control the speed will be a bit tiresome.

    • PinzVidz on 20/05/2019 - 13:16

    • eswes on 20/05/2019 - 13:30

      One of the reviews above had the remote and one doesn't. From the description, it doesn't appear to come with the one sold from Kogan?

      • dextertheboygenius on 20/05/2019 - 13:33

        Yeah Kogan doesn't specify whether it comes with a remote or not. The review from Singapore definitely shows a remote.

          +2

          Looks like the newer "Mijia smart fan 2" comes with a remote (released about 6 months ago), however, the original production run does not.

          Both fans are identical except for the inclusion of the remote.

          I'm guessing unless the kogan product expressly states "remote" then this is likely the earlier model.

            @ash2000: Based on the videos, it looks like the first generation fan only has 1 button on the top while the second generation fan has 4.

            • ash2000 on 20/05/2019 - 13:57

          Exactly!

      • eswes on 20/05/2019 - 13:57

        What was the biggest difference between AC and DC fans? Noise levels? Power?

        • ash2000 on 20/05/2019 - 13:59
          +5

          For me the ability to have it on a very low rotation speed that more approximates a natural breeze. And if course at low speed, virtually silent.

        • tessel on 20/05/2019 - 21:25

          Power for me. We run one all night for white noise. Uses a lot less power. I posted INA thread somewhere but I think like 5 watts vs 30 watts or maybe more for the AC fan.

            @tessel:

            We run one all night for white noise.

            Do you use this Xiaomi fan, or another DC fan? I'm curious how you find it for the purposes of white noise. My wife sleeps with a fan on for the same reason, and I've avoided buying a DC one because one of the big things they spruik is how quiet they are. Obviously not ideal when you want one for the noise more than the airflow

            • tessel on 21/05/2019 - 12:47

              @geech: DC but not xiaomi. Works great. Setting of 3 out of 9 gives just enough noise, not too much but not quiet. My AC at similar speed used 30 watts vs 6 watts on the DC.

      • ozhunter68 on 20/05/2019 - 14:00

      • O O on 20/05/2019 - 14:49

        …after buying both the kogan and kambrook Ac DC fans…

        How do they compare, which one is better?

        • whoopdeedoo on 20/05/2019 - 15:32

          x

        • ash2000 on 20/05/2019 - 17:58
          +1

          Both come out of the same factory, but I'd much prefer the kambrook and regret not buying two kambrooks.

          The main reason being that the Kambrook remembers the last speed set, the Kogan does not. The Kogan starts at quite a high speed, which I usually have to wind back 15 speed settings before I get it where I want it.

          The kogan also has a ghastly blue display that's extremely bright. I fixed this by applying 6 layers of car window tint (purchased from Ali) just to get it to a level where it wouldn't disturb sleep.

          Let's hope the new production run of kogan fans fixes these issues.

          • nikoris on 20/05/2019 - 19:28

            @ash2000: this fan is neither the Kambrook or the Kogan though, it's the Xiaomi fan

    I use it with Google Assistant and sometimes with Mi Home to tweak the direction if I'm in bed.
    I have A/C in my room but I like having air blowing on me and I think I am used to the noise of a fan helping me fall asleep.

    Anyways:

    1) Build quality is awesome and it looks schmick
    2) Very quiet compared to standard cheap AC fans, even on full speed.

    I'll take a noise level reading tonight and update my post.

    Smart is good!

    Can a physical remote be purchased and used with the fan? (If you can even purchase just the remote that is)

  • sween64 on 20/05/2019 - 17:16

    AC vs DC Fans

    Why choose DC?
    The new technology in the motors means that DC fans are generally much quieter than AC motors.
    DC fans use up to 70% less energy than an AC fan.
    DC fans are generally faster to respond to the remote control, have more speed options and have the reverse function on the remote.
    DC motors are often more compact and lighter, allowing for a sleeker motor design.

    • They talk about ceiling fans but I assume the same principles apply.
  • jeeg on 20/05/2019 - 19:55

    For anyone considering, mine arrived today (love it), however mine came with a UK style plug. The cable can be swapped out with a normal two pin connector, but It's not stated on Kogan that I can see.
    Quick and easy to set up in Xiaomi home, and shows up in Google home fine.
