          It's actually the opposite, the more blades, the quieter a propeller is :)

          • Fobsessive on 10/12/2022 - 12:30

            @mugenkun: It was the opposite for our Kmart fan, idk why. We resorted to putting in an old blade (fewer big arms), overall quieter.

    For anyone that owns this one - I can't find any other info. Can also be controlled without the app (eg an IR remote or physical buttons on the fan)?

    I have one of these, and while it's nice, I feel like it's a bit overpriced for what it is.

      • Fobsessive on 09/12/2022 - 19:42

        Kmart Anko pedestal fans. Timer options are $50. Can't adjust the angle. Blades are loud.

      • dec1an on 09/12/2022 - 20:36

        Normal= AC.
        This is DC, which is quieter, has almost unlimited speeds and uses far less electricity

        not sure. I have been using xiaomi miot auto all the time. I ain't sure what the official xiaomi integration support for viomi is.

    • Nino3232 on 09/12/2022 - 16:23

      Based on your experience with it :
      Does it work enough well on a hot summer day ?

      • drearyFalcon3 on 09/12/2022 - 19:41

        the highest speed setting the throughput is strong. and it has 180º swing as well. Well, I removed the ceiling fan and replaced it with this standing fan instead.

        • Nino3232 on 09/12/2022 - 22:31

  • tojy on 09/12/2022 - 15:15

    Bought this during the last sale; pretty happy with the fan as a whole but just a heads up. The 'smart' functionality isnt that great i.e. integration with Google is non-exisitent; which is what I had actually got it for 'Hey Google turn off fan' etc.

    • sane on 09/12/2022 - 16:18

      Or you could get a cheap manual settings fan, and a mains switch that does Google (~$9 with the recent JB HiFi sale).

      I've never worked out why they seem to make such a hash of putting 'smarts' on devices. Its a $5 microcontroller at most and a fan curve if you really want to be smart about it.

    • Astronaut Joe on 09/12/2022 - 18:29
      +1

      Or you can roll your own solution.

      Have a fan with an RF remote. Bought a Broadlink RM controller (the one that does RF). Created an Amazon developer account and built my own custom skill. Deployed via Home Assistant.

      Total overkill, but now I can go "Alexa, fan speed 2" (among other things) while lying in bed and it magically happens.

        I doubt this fan runs on 5v, and a more powerful power bank would be pointless to buy unless you already have one.

        If you want battery then just buy the one that is meant to work with a battery I wouldn't try hack around it

    It's very quiet, but small and feels cheap. Build quality is on par with the $10-20 40cm AC fans from Kmart etc, made of cheap plastics.

    Fan blade diameter is about 29cm, centre of the fan is only 74cm above the ground and it's non-height adjustable.

    The only close competitor would be Kogan's 40cm DC fan which cost between $89-129 https://www.kogan.com/au/buy/kogan-premium-dc-motor-pedestal…

    • dullbeard on 09/12/2022 - 17:12
      +1

      Yes, for normal use. It's excellent as a person fan (e.g. for a workspace). For a bedroom it would be fine, and maybe a small loungeroom or dining space. But it's not comparable to a high-powered fan. It's not going to "blast."

    I bought 4 of these via the recent deal for kids rooms, as they are will work out cheaper in the long run with kids running them all the time on hot days and I'm happy with them.
    Not having noise issues as some people have mentioned. So quiet on low speeds. Awesome.
    They seem a bit short when you put them together, but it has not been an issue.
    They really feel cheap and almost fragile, but once it's put together, I would imagine most people are not going to handle them much at all. All of ours just sit in their spots and the remotes control them.
    Air flow is quite good.

    DC is great for long term energy savings and the remote and app are very handy when you are half asleep and do not want to get up.

    Might grab one of these for my bedroom to replace the noisy, power sucking helicopter I run at night to my wife's annoyance half the time.

    • rokufan on 09/12/2022 - 17:06

    i just buy the cheapest pedestal fans bunnings has to offer whenever in need of another.

    few years ago they were $10, then $12, now they are $17 and they last 10 or so years without any maintenance.

    you dont need your fan to be smart - you just need it to have 3 speeds, height adjustable and with an option for fixed or oscillation.

    at 45Wmax power is not a bank breaker either, especially on lower settings.

    https://www.bunnings.com.au/click-40cm-white-pedestal-fan_p0…

    • Gorian4 on 09/12/2022 - 19:30
      +3

      With all due respect, there's two big points I like about a DC Fan:
      1. Power usage is anywhere from 1.6W to 11W depending if you're on the minimum or maximum fan speed, don't get me wrong 45W isn't bad, but I'd be willing to leave the Viomi fan on the entire year and not think about its power usage.
      2. On 25% and 50% speed, you can barely hear the fan, lower than 25% and it's pretty much silent, the AC fans are loud even on the lowest setting, which isn't ideal when you want to be in a quiet room.

      It is a shame that this Viomi isn't height adjustable, however the fan does angle itself anywhere from slightly downward to pointing directly towards the ceiling, so that should solve issues regarding direction of wind flow.

    • drearyFalcon3 on 09/12/2022 - 19:45

      well, if the smart fan works alone , yup, you probably don't need it to be smart - and you only need 3 settings.

      But it is a different story when the fan is integrated with other IoTs via a platform - such as HomeAssistant. So many other crazy things / routine can be set to make the fan a truly 'smart' fan.

      it is a subjective topic, indeed.

    • Fobsessive on 09/12/2022 - 19:49

      Expensive DC fans often have customisable oscillation angles

      • Gorian4 on 09/12/2022 - 21:01
        +1

        It would be nice to have a truly smart fan :(

        Fobsessive, you can very the oscillation angles on the Viomi fan, 30, 60, 90 and 180

        • Fobsessive on 09/12/2022 - 21:09

          That's a nice selection of angles!

    • Serapis on 11/01/2023 - 17:55

      I've had a few of those and they are crap! The feet bend (thin sheet metal) if you accidentally tilt the fan while moving it, they start wobbling after a while and are fairly noisy (after a while motor hums and gets hot on startup).

      They only last like 1-2 years in my experience before they burn out or break and I'll need a new one.

  • Averell on 09/12/2022 - 19:31

    May I ask, what's special about DC fans? I heard that they are quiet. Why can't manufacturers make quiet AC fans?
