    I have 3 of them - 2 with the battery in the base…. They are quiet and cheap to run - the simulated wind is a bit of a gimmick and isn't really strong enough to cool anything but otherwise happy with them - $99 is a good price - leave it plugged in for every day use but carry it anywhere whenever needed and the battery has a good few hours life….

    • squiddles88 on 21/01/2021 - 22:36

      This is the battery version

    • aal04 on 21/01/2021 - 22:41

      I personally love the simulated wind.

      • Charlie Dont Surf on 21/01/2021 - 23:01

        What exactly is simulated wind? Don't all fans attempt to simulate wind?

        • Merlict on 21/01/2021 - 23:12
          +3

          It's some mode where it varies the speed and oscillation a bit to seem more 'natural'

        • The Hobo on 21/01/2021 - 23:27
          +1

          This has the best simulated wind mode I've used. Others just cycle between speeds massively this is a much slower and subtle change

          • sk3iron on 22/01/2021 - 00:51
            +19

            @The Hobo: Sounds like a wank to me but each to their own, I turn the fan on when its hot and I want to be cooled not to simulate opening a window.

        • therichardsons on 22/01/2021 - 09:24

          It lets out a little fart noise and odour at random intervals. Like my grandmother used to do and blame on the dogs.

    • Sunny84 on 21/01/2021 - 23:08

      Do you find the wifi really bad in these units?

      I've got 3 and find that there's constant packet drops and the app can't can't communicate half of the time.

      • The Hobo on 21/01/2021 - 23:27
        +2

        No issues at all

      • sk3iron on 22/01/2021 - 00:53
        +1

        That may have more to do with your own router/mesh wifi solution than the device itself.

        • Sunny84 on 22/01/2021 - 09:23

          Maybe… I have 2 x UniFi UAP-IW-HD access points and both report low signal for Xiaomi Smartmi Fan 2S even when they are meters away. I've also tried changing 2ghz channels to less congested ones with no improvement.

          • Lighter Fluid on 22/01/2021 - 11:07

            @Sunny84: Doesn't this use a 5g connection? When I set up my mobile control something saying that popped up.

      • superforever on 25/01/2021 - 09:48

        Happened sometime it may take a bit long if I turned it on manually and tried to use the app to turn it off. But make sure the fan is plugged in, as I understand it won't work on battery.

  • Telios on 21/01/2021 - 22:39
    +5

    Man I love the idea of a battery in the base, adds stability and utility.

    I hope this damn thing doesn't need to be connected to the WiFi to use though, I'm a bit over Xiaomi things wanting to know how many breaths per hour I take.

    • Merlict on 21/01/2021 - 23:12
      +3

      I just don't use the wifi. Buttons on the unit give 4 speed settings and oscillate, you need the app for anything fancier

    • NNOP on 22/01/2021 - 01:25

      There's buttons for fan speed and left-right movement.

      You only need the app if you want to check the battery status or set a timer or do that natural wind thing.

      • Merlict on 22/01/2021 - 01:52
        +3

        Actually I don't think it shows the battery level on the app

      • dazzza on 22/01/2021 - 10:27

        App doesnt show battery status, thats the disappoining thing with this fan. No idea how much charge is in it, or how long to charge it for.

        • Telios on 22/01/2021 - 10:42

          See that just pisses me off.

          Its obvious what utility the app could add, but no. Xiaomi are only interested in user data, not adding value.

          • Lighter Fluid on 22/01/2021 - 11:09

            @Telios: I think you're trying to solve a problem that doesn't exist. No-one buys something like this to charge and take away to use battery mode five times a day. It's just a fan with no quick disconnect to it's power cable that happens to have a battery onboard for flexibility.

            • Telios on 22/01/2021 - 20:35

              @Lighter Fluid:

              You need the app if you want to check the battery status or set a timer or do that natural wind thing.

              Thats what I'm referring to.

    • Skinnerr on 22/01/2021 - 13:32

      I turfed google once they started asking personal questions like my marital status and net income. Those questions aren't worth 50c!

  • SuperFly 420 on 21/01/2021 - 22:46

    • StonedWizard on 21/01/2021 - 22:58

      @riddam - I don't believe any of them have a battery in the base.

      • StonedWizard on 22/01/2021 - 07:52

        @ricdam - I wrote wrong. I meant to say, I don't think any have a battery indicator*

    • Domingo on 22/01/2021 - 05:42

      I think that's v3

  • t3chshopper on 21/01/2021 - 23:05

    Just a heads up – this is much smaller than traditional pedestal fans. My kogan DC fan, which is no bigger than various pedestal fans I've had over the years, absolutely dwarfs the Xiaomi 2s.

    It works great and I even integrated it into Home Assistant, but it's definitely worth checking the size (and height) against your intended use.

    • The Hobo on 21/01/2021 - 23:28
      +1

      Yup, still perfect for a bedroom but maybe not for large areas.

      Still moves a lot of air

    • Merlict on 22/01/2021 - 00:58

      Yeah it is pretty tiny. I'd love it if they made a full size one even if it meant ditching the battery.

    • MysticalWok on 22/01/2021 - 01:13

      Does it require any hub to connect it with the Google Home Assistant?

      • PinzVidz on 22/01/2021 - 01:41

        No.

        • Skinnerr on 22/01/2021 - 13:33

          So - 'hey google turn on the fan' works?

      • ndoan on 22/01/2021 - 14:20

        Do you know if it has temperature sensor? I want to buy one to add it to Home Assistant.

      Do u know if they will also send you the australian plug? when purchased from kogan, its shipped with a UK plug, but then they also ship u a AUS plug.

      Cheers!

      • Misterpompom on 22/01/2021 - 08:41

        Yeah you get the AU plug but Kogan seems to send it separately.

      • brosk1s on 22/01/2021 - 15:36

        Got my 1X from PCByte, came with the AU power lead & Australian warranty (from Xiaomi Australia).

        My 2S from Kogan came with an AU adapter & Kogan warranty, they never hid that it is an import though.

        Apart from the battery, they seem to have the exact same DC motor & experience.

  • wildstone on 22/01/2021 - 01:19

    Is the battery replaceable? Will it become brick after battery dead?

    • NNOP on 22/01/2021 - 01:37
      +1

      Not replaceable no. As in there's no obvious battery compartment in the base.

      Can't tell you whether it would brick itself on a dead cell. Would kind of suck if that limited the lifetime of these to 5years or so considering fans are so simple they should last decades.

      • wildstone on 22/01/2021 - 10:55

        Hmm… so is this battery operated and cannot use wired? So when battery dead it will just be expensive brick?

        • The Hobo on 24/01/2021 - 16:19

          It can be used wired

  • stevelo on 22/01/2021 - 02:15
    +4

    Got the one without the battery for quite a while. Here is my personal opinion
    Pro
    1. Low power consumption (even lower than Kogan premium DC fan)
    2. Very quite
    3. Look nicer than most fan
    4. 100 speed over the apps and 4 speed over the fan
    5. 5 oscillating setting over the apps (off, 30/60/90/120 degree)
    6. Small, easier moving around.
    7. Decent quality

    Con
    1. More expensive
    2. Doesn’t blow a lot of wind (probably dues to it’s smaller size, enough for my bedroom)

    Conclusion, good fan if you don’t mind spent a bit more.

    • sumyungguy on 22/01/2021 - 14:17
      +2

      I agree, these are so good I've acquired three so far. I reckon if they sold in bricks & mortar stores they'd go very well. The fan has a sleep timer but you can schedule on-off times via the Mi Home app. For example: sleep with air-conditioning until 1am, with fan scheduled to keep you comfy for the rest of the night.

  • nikoris on 22/01/2021 - 02:21

    Bought this early January, its an instant classic for me, how could i live without it?
    Very very quiet, you can literally make it dead quiet and just feel the air…
    I have a few Xiaomi strips and bulbs and i can control this with the same app, huge convenience.

    Only minus that its short, i would have liked it to be taller.

  • Bigredkeg on 22/01/2021 - 03:43

    Guys how quiet we talking? I like a bit of white noise for sleeping. But my awful dyson fan has started this low tone hum through the machine, which is annoying.

    • IMadeYouReadThis on 22/01/2021 - 06:53

      Very quiet - With speed up to 2, you can barely hear it. 3 and 4, it’s audible enough.

    Also, even if you can't score a Kogan First free trial it still ends up cheaper for freight by paying 11.99 for a 1 month subscription.
