Xiaomi Mi Smart Fan (ZLBPLDS02ZM)

"Smart" Chinese flagship

The "smart" axial fan on the rack of the popular Chinese manufacturer Xiaomi Mi Smart Fan is the most advanced device of the new generation. Contrary to the established tradition of selling floor fans in disassembled form, which requires certain skills in handling a screwdriver and careful reading of the instructions, this model, consisting of only a few elements, is intuitively assembled in one-two-three. The device is made in a minimalist design, characteristic of all products of the Chinese brand. The silvery grey colour of the device, characteristic of Xiaomi products, sets you up for peace and tranquility.

Battery instead of outlet

In a special compartment of the massive round disk stand there is a battery with a capacity of 2800 mAh (33.6 W*h), which ensures battery life of the device for 16 hours, as well as contact connectors for connecting a power cord with an American plug 1.6 m long. On an anodized stand aluminium placed battery level indicator lights. And when it is fully discharged, you will hear a sound alert. The possibility of battery power supply of the fan, compact dimensions with a height of 92 cm and light weight of 3.74 kg make the device not only mobile, but also independent of being connected to a power outlet.

Control via Wi-Fi

The device consumes only 36 W, and the 7-blade propeller with a diameter of 30 cm provides a powerful airflow. The fan can be synchronized with a smartphone via Wi-Fi using the proprietary Mi Smart Home application, which combines the control of all Xiaomi smart home devices. On the plastic case of the motor block there are 2 buttons for adjusting the speed of rotation of the blades and setting the angle of the fan within 40 °, as well as speed and Wi-Fi status indicators. The device has a memory block that remembers the last setting of the rotation speed. The choice of one of 4 airflow control speeds, setting the turn-off delay of the built-in timer and other "smart" functions is available not only from the device's buttons, but also from a smartphone acting as a remote control. The device, of course, stands out among analogues with innovative solutions, but the price of it "bites".
