Because of this video I ordered one for my brother who was looking for a fan and asked for my advice. Used you link and coupon and ended up spending just under 80 euro incl shipping. I think that's a steal!
Awesome! I really like this device. My neighbors saw and experienced mine.. and wanted to have one as well.. but they were afraid that it would cost too much. I had them guess and they said 250€ 😅 then I told them it's around 80€ and they ordered one right away as well 😂
@@MartijnWester It's amazing that your neighbors actually value the device 3 times the price. I would have also guessed at least €120+, the price is really insane.
Great review, Martijn! Btw, got suggestions: maybe you could put up 6 mos. or 1 year later reviews of your Xiaomi appliances in the future.. So we could see how these products hold up? I would love to see your take!
I have both the smart mi fan and this tower fan. And I also much prefer the smart mi fan. The tower looks quite nice but feels like cheap plastic, is big, the base is not stable enough, makes noise after couple of times. Bought that one to try a new shape, but should have bought another smart mi, not much more expensive, plus mine has a battery.
Xiaomi products that are sold outside of china use google home only their china only products will have xiaomi mi installed on it and can't use google due to the political situation over in mainland China.
It's not "smart" unless it can be voice controlled. Scrounging for your phone at 3am because the fan is blowing too cold is not sexy. Can it connect to Alexa?
Hello. Does it have cold and heat settings? If yes, how much cold does it blow? how many degrees does it ride in the hottest? I would be glad if you answer.
Great review. Just one thing though. It would have been better if you had mentioned the height of the fan. I had to go and search the fan’s specifications to find out. It’s 110cm high. Seriously thinking of buying one through your link. Thanks!
Ik zie bij jou die soundbar hangen is dat die van Xiaomi ook? Zoja is daar al een review van geweest? Ik heb zelf de Xiaomi Rosou SS4 bladeless fan wel een mooi product ook.
Hi! I just got this fan and I already have it all set up :D I was hoping to be able to control it with Google Home, though. And as per checking, only my Xiaomi Desk Lamp is available when linking my Xiaomi Home account with Google Home. Does this mean the fan is incompatible with Google Assistant? If so, that's really disappointing :(
@@jaimecusihuaman2355 Yes, this was the first thing I did. I couldn't even find the fan in the Xiaomi app when logging in thru other servers. I looked it up and I read that it only works with Mainland China.
@@vern2982 yeah that's one thing, but I figured out the real issue, if I change the country option in the app to mainland china it detects the fan. But doing so will remove all my other devices connected.
@@MartijnWester Well not yet really. Apparently it only connects to the European server, while all my other stuff is China server. So I just have dual mi home apps to control it. I'll probably link it to the sensors via home assistant on my raspberry pi :)
@all, yes, I have too many gadgets that only work on the China server and the EU gadgets that I have, often work there as well. Other tip, use 'dual apps' on your phone. So you can create another Mi Home app with EU servers and control your yeelights from there :)
Lousy fan. Wind not strong and swing mode faulty in less than one year. So remember to keep your receipt if its under warranty cos the customer service sucks

In terms of airflow, how does this compare to the Mijia Smart Fan 1X?
how do you disassemble the base? i snapped it together before reading the manual only to find out that the cord won’t pass through :-(
why there's no mention that you can't add this Smart Tower Fan to Mi Home app if you're using other Xiaomi products bought in Europe?
I found a solution. If you interested I can share here.
@@allcolorsarebeautifulone please share it here
@@luizferreiragomesjunior6560 you need to change the region to china. Then it will works.

I personally like the tower look better the fan ina house always looks cheaper to me.
Blown away with your review 🤣😂🤣
That fan looks great 😍 brilliant that it uses so little electricity too 👍
Good to read you're blown away by the review 😂😅
How does the fan speed compared to traditional fan? Is it faster?
Hi Martin,
Can you automate this with Google Home, or does it require the Xiaomi app? Thank you!
Xiaomi products that are sold outside of china use google home
only their china only products will have xiaomi mi installed on it and can't use google due to the political situation over in mainland China.
@@KimchiYeo thank you so much! 감사합니다 수연!
What's your personal preference, this model or the X1? And Wich one is the most quiet?
Hi my friend to turn it on do you have to be on the same wifi. Or you can turn it on even away from home?
But the question is,does it cool your room well ?
It won't cool down your room at all xD
Its a fan bro so answer is no.
should i get this or the xiaomi 1x?
Super impressed with the noise level! Wonder if it has a Homebridge plugin...
what is the dimension of the fan? especially the height? thanks
looks nice and think of starting with that for my smarthome gadgets. But what plug does it have? does it come with an adapter?
MKBHD logo inspired hehe nice! 😊👌
Does this work with Amazon Alexa like the other Xiaomi fans ?
Would like to know as well
How to disassemble the base? Made the mistake of assembling it first before looping in the cord.
Does it work with alexa?
It's not "smart" unless it can be voice controlled. Scrounging for your phone at 3am because the fan is blowing too cold is not sexy. Can it connect to Alexa?
Got problems with the interpreting the fan to the app. What is the name of the unit in the app?
I have a problem adding it, which region did you use in the mi app?
What confuses me the air's quality , it's a breeze or cold air ?
Does it heat in the winter?
Hello. Does it have cold and heat settings? If yes, how much cold does it blow? how many degrees does it ride in the hottest? I would be glad if you answer.
I don’t think it works that way. It’s a fan so it circulates the air. ^^”
How strong is the airflow? Also great vid!!!
Nice video! May I ask if this come with voice control and how to use that?
How is the power is strong ?
Great review. Just one thing though. It would have been better if you had mentioned the height of the fan. I had to go and search the fan’s specifications to find out. It’s 110cm high.
Seriously thinking of buying one through your link. Thanks!
Ah, good one. No idea how I missed that one. Thanks for letting me know :)
What is the height from the base to the blower? Thanks
Does it cool the air?
Can you control this with your google home? Your response will be highly appreciated :)
Is it required to use the smart/wifi functions?
Not really interested in all of that.
Nope, as you can see you can also control the tower fan from the buttons on top easily. Even the timer works good :)
Will it work with voice commands. like OK GOOGLE
It is very noisy in level one. I have a Xiaomi Smart Tower Heater Lite and it is noisy too. Have I super hearing??
Solid review brother. Damn that's one quiet fan
Yeah! It's a beast. Thanks for the feedback :))
Ik zie bij jou die soundbar hangen is dat die van Xiaomi ook? Zoja is daar al een review van geweest?
Ik heb zelf de Xiaomi Rosou SS4 bladeless fan wel een mooi product ook.
Hey! Thanks! Dat is de Xiaomi soundbar. Heel fijn dingetje die we nu al 1,5 jaar? samen met de Xiaomi tv gebruiken :)
@@MartijnWester top ik wil hem ook bestellen, en een 80cm tv voor de slaapkamer. Maar van de tv en soundbar heb je geen video's gemaakt he?
Martjin nice video! Can you please tell me what that speaker is below your TV?
That's the Xiaomi soundbar speaker :)
@@MartijnWester Thank you for replying. How does it sound? I'm gonna look to see if you have a video about it.
This was one of the best reviews i had ever come across.Thank You Martijn and Happy New year ☺
Question, can the wind be cold or is just a breeze?
cold
So does it actually cool the air or just recirculate it????
Again nice video Martijn ;)
Thanks :))

Philippines?
I have my account set up in Mainland China
@@audreyjadetenorio1775 Did you tried logging in to Xiaomi Home with other server, adding the Fan and then checking Google Home to see if it's there?
@@jaimecusihuaman2355 Yes, this was the first thing I did. I couldn't even find the fan in the Xiaomi app when logging in thru other servers. I looked it up and I read that it only works with Mainland China.
Het apparaat achter jouw link heeft een China plug. Hoe krijg ik deze in NL werkend?
It seems like Martjin is a *fan* of this product
😅😂😂👏
hmmm for some reason, my mi home app cant find this fan
I have the same problem. I cant find this product on the mi home app.
@@lendldugenio7176 and that makes this a very rudimentary fan without a remote...thats so sad. I wish someone suggest a solution
Quite a number of mijia devices only supports 2.4 GHz wifi, you might want to check it out.
@@vern2982 yeah that's one thing, but I figured out the real issue, if I change the country option in the app to mainland china it detects the fan. But doing so will remove all my other devices connected.
@@jakal1591 yeah that happens. I had to setup all my Xiaomi appliances under mainland china region
Just go the mi fan 1c! I am really happy with it, especially for the price. This tower looks really good aswell, though.
Awesome! Enjoy! Did you like it to any smart home gadgets?
@@MartijnWester Well not yet really. Apparently it only connects to the European server, while all my other stuff is China server. So I just have dual mi home apps to control it. I'll probably link it to the sensors via home assistant on my raspberry pi :)
Hey Martijn, wat is de levertijd via je link van geekmaxi nasr NL?
3-5 werkdagen. Het komt of uit het DE of Polen warenhuis :)
@@MartijnWester zijn alleen helaas niet meer leverbaar :(
Your review is so useful. Thank you.
Does it have that burning plastic smell when you first start using it like allot of heaters do?
If do, how long did it take till it'd gone.
I don’t think it is a heater. ^^”
Yeah I think you might be right. Idk what I was thinking. THere is no mention of heater in the desciption.@@mamamememoo
How much po
Hey Martin I bought it but I can't find the device in the mi app also auto scan does not work any tips?
Same here! Maybe it's a region thing? Martijn? What region are you using in the Xiaomi Home App? Europe here but the fan isnt even in the list?
Update: Switched the region to China. I am guessing Martijn is using the China server as well? Have to reinstall my yeelights now. To bad :(
@@BennyVermeulen thanks Benny that did the trick lost all the rest of my lightbulbs
@all, yes, I have too many gadgets that only work on the China server and the EU gadgets that I have, often work there as well. Other tip, use 'dual apps' on your phone. So you can create another Mi Home app with EU servers and control your yeelights from there :)
Mine is broken.. hardly used.. will not power on at all
5€ korting! Mooi zo!
I would not connect this to my WiFi, just move the air and I'll be happy
Hey how you liking miui 12 😁
How much Does this thing consume energy
Take the fans on a other place and place some large speakers on the place😂😂😂
Brilliant !
But I don't think it will be effective in India.
Thanks! Why not effective? Too hot in India?
"can't afford an AC" they cost only 100 same as this fan 😭
Have you also considered the cost of using an ac daily?
Nice
Thank you! Stay safe okay?
Xiaomi fanboy
Lousy fan. Wind not strong and swing mode faulty in less than one year. So remember to keep your receipt if its under warranty cos the customer service sucks
Its not a cool just a design expensive fan.
what a crap review. no mention of standard smartphone apps like Apple Homekit or Google Home. 🤦♂️
Hello, I live in Texas United States, any advice on how to buy this and from where ... thanks in advance
I'm struggling to find a place where I can get it in the USA where it would cost less than like $250-350 with shipping.
