You should have made the graphs align on wind speed and then compare the db levels per wind speed. You can see in your table that the Rowenta on setting one is almost identical to the whisper 2 on setting 20 at one meter and beats it at 2 meters for instance. Having the tables compare on arbitrary manufacturers settings makes it really difficult to compare real world performance
I agree with the other one, but this video is still great. Maybe just make a clickbaity shorter second video where you search for the "quietest fan" and then only go by decibels per wind speed. You already have the data anyways. Otherwise if you're measuring again, 3 meters could also be good as I saw other comparisons where that did make a difference in the best fan (eg Flexbreeze having less wind speed at 1 meter but more at 3 meters than another one)
I had bought a DUUX fan 3 months ago. Worked wonderfully for 5 weeks and then the motor stopped. The oscillation continued to work. This is such a common issue that there was even an FAQ on their website. When I contacted them to ask for a replacement or a refund, a customer service was very poor. They offered only to repair and that this could take weeks. I was really disappointed with the service and could not countenance buying a fan from a company with such a poor technical record and such poor Customer Service. I am now stuck with a fan that doesn’t work. They no longer respond to any of my customer requests.
wouldn't buy a DUUX again, even if the v2 might be more stable. the head and base started making noises and the the button and menu operation is was super annoying.
You should test at 10m too, why? Because a fan may produce fast moving air over big or small surface, and at 10m that snall air spot will not arrive. And replace 2m witb 3.5m thats more realistic with a strong fan. A night test should then be how much wind can they produce at 25db (or if louder min speed) at 3.5m distance. Overall i think you miss the actually best fans available, and that is Dreo 715s for USA and Meaco Sefte for Europe. They have way better power efficiency vs your models tested and are quieter at a decent speed. The duux flex would only be your choice if 25db of the sefte or 23db of the dreo is too loud. But at 25db they just loose by a big margin in wind volume/speed vs the top models of Dreo or Meaco while needing much more power. And yeah a big disadvantage of Meaco Sefte is that it isn't smart, but then no quality fan so far integrates into home assistant yet. So the alternative is getting a IR/RF hub, learn the commands and then have every function in HA.
This video is right on time ! I was hesitating between the rowenta and duux but I’ll go with the duux for the design and the low decibel level ! Thanks for the review dude and keep on the good work! 💯
What do you think? Let me know!

I have the Duux whisper. I really like it. Very good explanation of all products.
Thank you!
I have the Shark Flexbreeze here, great Fan !!
me too. i bought 2 . really really great
which one is your favorite? And which one would you blindly buy again without thinking?
Which 2 fans are powerful on blowing air?
Im buying the Duux Whisper Flex just to see, if it can handle the Shark Flexbreeze one lo.Ol

Good choice and thanks for watching
Aluminum is pronounced "a loom in um"...not "alu min ee um."
You are wrong
