LIVIVO 32" Tower Fan with Timer Ultra Slim and Quiet and Powerful Free Standing 45W Electric Fan with 3 Speed Settings and 90 Degree Oscillation Function (White)

Product Information

It’s easy to use, has a timer and a great natural breeze setting, and is reasonably powerful by compact tower fan standards; we measured the maximum airflow at 2. We also like the large digital display and the wide scope provided by the three fan speeds, oscillation function and timer. Their air management appliances include air coolers, tower fans, desk fans, stand fans, humidifiers, and more. Add a wide 70-degree oscillation, and it can cool a surprisingly large area, while it also packs in a 12-hour timer, sleep mode and variable speed natural mode. The screw-on base actually has a matching shell, although this doesn’t stop the tower from wobbling when you move it or prod the slow pressure-sensitive controls at the top.

It’s just a shame that it’s noisy, putting out 46dB at its highest settings and 40dB even in Sleep mode, while the Natural mode is plain distracting, constantly revving up and revving down the fan speed.

As the name suggests, this fan also has basic smart features through the Climate Wizard smartphone app, but these don’t extend beyond remote control functions and a timer.

Some tower fans we’ve tested have been surprisingly wobbly, and while they tend to be less prone to falling over than your average pedestal fan, you still want to know it won’t tip over at the slightest provocation. Most tower fans offer a choice of speeds, and the vast majority have a timer function that lets you set your fan to cool you down while you drift off to sleep, but go off after a couple of hours to give you a quieter night. It has five fan speeds ranging from “Sleep” to “Power cool”, plus a one, two, four or eight-hour timer, and the straightforward controls make it incredibly easy to use. You wouldn’t want to try sleeping while it’s up and running, but it’s better than most budget fans when it comes to excess background noise.An indoor appliance with three fan speeds, three operating modes, an oscillation function and a timer. Enable the Alexa or Google Home skills, and you can also turn it on or off or change the speed using voice controls, but you can’t switch between the Normal, Sleep and Natural modes.

Luckily, with just three speed settings, a timer and a choice of three modes, you shouldn’t need to use them all that often.Whether this actually works or not is somewhat controversial, but the Ion Fresh does a nice job of making stuffy rooms more liveable and – more importantly – moving air around at speeds of up to 2. That’s a lot of cooling power, even if we’d say that the airflow is strongest relatively low to the ground. Vented Blade Guard - The unit has a vented safety guard which protects the blade (and fingers) from damage, whilst ensuring maintained air flow. On the front of the LIVIVO Tower Fan is a digital display which shows the room's current temperature. The advantage of their tall, cylindrical shape is that you get a lot of cooling without a massive footprint, and it’s spread out over a larger vertical area.

Nearly all tower fans oscillate, turning slowly from side to side to cover a larger area, but they differ in how wide the angle of oscillation is. Generally speaking, the larger and taller the fan, the higher the airflow and the bigger the room it can cool, with the added bonus that you might not have to push it so hard to have the same effect. When the mercury rises and the air stays still, it’s almost impossible to escape the humidity and heat, yet – for most of us – air conditioning is overkill.What’s more, tower fans usually oscillate, twisting left and right to spread the cooling airflow over a wider space. And while it can go loud, putting out nearly 50dB at max speed, it’s relatively quiet on its lowest speed setting, at roughly 32. It also has a Sleep setting, where it reduces the speed over time, a variable speed natural mode and a timer, covering up to 12 hours. It’s compact and light, meaning it’s easy to lug around the house with the integrated handle, yet it puts out a decent airflow on each of its three speed settings. You can never bank on getting hot weather in the UK but, when it does come, it can come with a thump.
