    What's the difference between the two models?

    • stevelo on 05/02/2020 - 14:19

      I think 2S come with built-in battery

        Oh ok thanks. I presumed the 2 was battery operated too since the description on the Kogan site said 'portable'.

      The Fan 2S uses 33.6Wh batteries and thus frees you from the need for a power cord, with up to 20 hours of operational time. The fan’s lightweight body design makes it easy to carry with one hand.

        I bought a 75cm DC fan from Bunnings the other day. On speed 1 you can't hear it, even in a quiet room but you can sure feel the breeze. I guess you could say I'm a big fan of..big fans.

        • umexcuseme on 20/02/2020 - 00:54

          The Iron Horse one? When you turn it back on, does it resume on the same setting you left it on?

            +1

            @umexcuseme: Yes, unless you interrupt mains power to the unit at the socket or if there's a power-cut elsewhere. If you do interrupt mains power then the unit will default to speed 11 (wind tunnel) when you next turn the unit on.

            And yes, the Iron Horse one. Get one if you can, they're a terrific buy.

        I used to be a fan but now I’m an air conditioner

  • nuggetbro on 05/02/2020 - 14:35
    +16

    I have ordered one.

    The price is great and I have been researching for a couple of weeks.

    Pro's and Con's

    Pro - Xiaomi is usually pretty spot on for value. I have a bunch of stuff of theirs, and I haven't had major drama. It isn't dyson, but it also isn't $400+ dollars.

    They will use higher end components, such as ball bearing and a decent motor. This means it should last a long time, and also be quiet. I have spent hundreds of dollars on fans over the years, including DC fans, and they all get worse after 1-2 years of use.

    Also, having a battery does give you some freedom. Going camping? Take a fan! I live in a small unit and use fans to draw air into the unit and to circulate, so for me to be able to move the fan around is a god send.

    Cons - 1 year warranty for an expensive fan is a risk. Sure you can extend with Kogan, but not sure how reliable that is. Also, the Xiaomi app isn't great (though you don't need to use it).

    I will hopefully get it in the next few days, and I can give people an update on my experiences if you would like.

    • morediscount on 05/02/2020 - 14:36

      btw does the fan has buttons or do you always have to use the app ? I cannot see any buttons in the images

      • NigelTufnel on 05/02/2020 - 14:49

        Looks like it has buttons on the top.

      • bamzero on 05/02/2020 - 14:52
        +3

        There is a button on top to turn on and step through 4 speed levels (long press for off), and a button on the back for oscillation, though you can't change the oscillation degrees, it will only use what was last set in the app.

        • superforever on 05/02/2020 - 20:45

          though you can't change the oscillation degrees,

          Also have to use the app to set timer and natural and normal wind mode.

      • asa79 on 05/02/2020 - 18:47

        You can also use google

    • Yanoflies on 05/02/2020 - 14:38

      You need the app for the steplessness, and also to switch from natural and normal wind mode.

      Or at least that's what I understand from the few days I've owned my 2S.

      One added benefit is that my Bluetooth Xiaomi thermometer is now accessible when I'm out as it is somehow connecting to the Wi-Fi through my fan.

      • maxwellian on 05/02/2020 - 14:39

        Which Thermometer are you using and what region server are you setup on?

        • Yanoflies on 05/02/2020 - 14:41

          "Xiaomi Mijia Bluetooth Digital Thermometer"

          Or something like that.

          Pretty sure I selected Australia?

          I've had the thermometer for years but only could see and log the temperatures when I was within range of it.

          Now I see temperatures even while at work (e.g. now).

          • Deviner on 05/02/2020 - 14:53

            @Yanoflies: Interesting.
            I've been keeping an eye out for a thermometer from Xiaomi - I wonder how your scenario is working and if the fan is acting as some sort of hub for your thermometer.

            I have aircon that's wifi, but I haven't added any temperature sensors to it so I can't tell the ambient temperatures of any of my rooms.

            I was hoping to incorporate some sort of routine (maybe via IFTTT) to turn on the aircon if the temperature of a room gets to a certain heat etc.

      • morediscount on 05/02/2020 - 14:49

        Xiaomi begins to learn at a geometric rate. It becomes self-aware at 2:14 a.m. Eastern time, August 29th. In a panic, they try to pull the plug.

        Xiaomi fights back.

    The 2S is fantastic, has saved me this summer. I had it going all night on the lowest setting and couldn't even hear it!

    The only downside I have found is I can't find a way to see how much charge the battery has.

    • bamzero on 05/02/2020 - 17:30
      +3

      Yeh wish it had that info also. I don't think the fan knows the difference whether it's running on battery or AC as there is only 2 wires from the base.

  • impoze on 05/02/2020 - 15:18

    big fan of the 2S fan, it is quite short but you can tilt the fan up/down and it does make it more compact and portable.

    having the built-in battery is great and being DC it's very quiet

  • giventofly on 05/02/2020 - 15:41

    Really nice. Wish I got this instead of the crummy Arlec bunnings one (for nearly the same price as the 2S) :(

    • jrad0 on 05/02/2020 - 17:00

  • miq on 05/02/2020 - 16:09

    FYI this fan only has two physical buttons:

    One is on/off and switches between four speed settings. The other button controls oscillation.
    Other functions such as individual speeds (there are about 100?) And normal/natural wind flow must be controlled through the app.

    Can someone verify my sums before I present to the household CFO.

    let say I use this instead of my 7kW reverse cycle AC. at 35c/kwh it should only take around 60hrs use before its paid for itself?

    • placard on 05/02/2020 - 16:33
      +5

      But that's like saying compare the cost of riding a pushbike versus a car. They are two different things.

      A fan does not cool the room, just moves air around. A fan also does not remove humidity from the room.

      So of course a fan will use a lot less energy.

      But, maybe use both - ie fan on low speed to help circulate A/C air, and maybe provide a little more breeze so you don't need to set the A/C quite as low?

      • watts on 05/02/2020 - 17:08
        +2

        sure, the simple payback scenario however assumes having this fan on makes me comfortable enough to not need the AC. That'll only be sometimes of course.

        I don't want to over complicate it. I just need a rough figure so when I cop grief for spending money I can give some justification.

    • orange123 on 05/02/2020 - 16:34
      +4

      7kW is the output, not input. Let's assume the input might be around 2.5kW so it will take ~150 hours to pay for itself.

      • watts on 05/02/2020 - 17:08
        +3

        ah..I'll just keep that to myself. 60hrs sound better.

        • zorrt on 05/02/2020 - 17:20

          150hrs ain't that bad. I sometimes have the fan on all night while sleeping plus through out the day. So in like 10 days it'll pay for itself.

          I'm tempted too, but need like 5 of em to replace all the fans on the house.

    • lainey13 on 05/02/2020 - 17:20

      Yes but what is the cost of running your AC for the same amount of time?

    I want one, but it doesn't come with a remote? So if I'm laying in bed and want to turn it on and off or change the speed, I have to unlock my phone, open an app, then change it? I also don't usually keep my phone in the bedroom, so not very convenient

    • MilkDrinker on 05/02/2020 - 17:12

      You can buy a remote separately but looks like will run you about $17-$18.

      I have a Google Mini in the room so use that, but can only turn on/off and set the 4 preset speed levels (though always seem to have trouble with that part). Still need to use app for oscillation/natural mode etc.

  • bamzero on 05/02/2020 - 17:40

    BTW, I haven't seen mention of this anywhere but the 100 step levels seems to be a lie. I've only got 13 different speeds, the numbers in between don't change the speed.

    Have the 2S integrated into Home Assistant which gives me a raw speed value (RPM?) and only see a change on 13 steps (apart from being able to hear the difference in speed anyway)

    I'm on firmware v2.0.5.0011, don't recall if I noticed it before I updated but interested to know if other users are seeing the same thing or not, especially if still on previous firmware.

    Actual speed steps are at 1, 10, 19, 28, 35, 45, 55, 64, 72, 81, 86, 91 and 96.

    • IMadeYouReadThis on 05/02/2020 - 18:07

      The best part seems to be adjustable angle for oscillation. I really needed this feature!

      • bamzero on 05/02/2020 - 18:46

        Yeh it's not like I actually need 100 levels, but usually Xiaomi doesn't exaggerate specs quite as badly as some others so found it strange it's not doing what it should.

        The adjustable angle is great though. It was really just 30 degrees I wanted, perfect for sleeping for me.

    Have to get up and physically press the fan's 'on' button, and then it can connect to the network again and can be control via app again. Very annoying. Anyone having similar problem?

    • Bargain Fighter on 08/02/2020 - 18:48
