Nowadays, as smart home appliances become more and more popular, electric fans are no longer just a device that simply “blows air and cools down”.MilletRecently launched the new Mijia in the Chinese marketwisdomFrequency conversion powerfan Pro, focusing on more powerful long-distance air supply capabilities, smart control functions, and more flexible usage. From the 13-meter air supply distance, 3D automatic head swing, to supporting USB Type-C power supply and mobile power supply, this product is quite interesting. What are the features of this new fan?
Xiaomi’s new Mijia smart variable frequency electric fan Pro is here! Type-C power supply, 3D swing head, 100 levels of wind speed, all at once
When you want to use an electric fan in summer or when the air in your home is not circulating, the most feared situation is that “the wind only blows in front of you, but the rest of the room is still stuffy.” The Mijia Smart Variable Frequency Electric Fan Pro has made significant upgrades in this regard. Officials say that at the highest gear, the air volume can reach 28.7 meters per minute and can send airflow to a distance of up to 13 meters.
What does this air supply capacity mean? Simply put, even in a larger living room or room, wind is more effective at moving air overall rather than being concentrated in just a localized area. Officials even say that under appropriate environmental conditions, it can circulate the air in an entire room in as little as about 2 minutes.
For common apartments or small-square-meter houses in Taiwan, this ability to quickly circulate air is actually quite practical. Especially in the sultry summer, as long as it is used together with an air conditioner, cold air can be brought to every corner of the room faster.
In order to distribute the air flow more evenly, the Mijia Smart Inverter Fan Pro supports automatic head swing of 100° up and down and 120° left and right. This sweeping method that operates up, down, left and right at the same time allows the fan to not just swing left and right, but to form a more three-dimensional air supply range.
Through the Mijia App, users can also adjust different head swing modes, such as setting symmetrical head swing or fixed-angle sweeping. This design can be adjusted according to the room space or the placement of furniture, so that the airflow can be sent to where it is needed more accurately. For example, if there are two beds or two work areas in the room, you can set the swing range to focus on these locations instead of wasting wind blowing against the wall.
Mijia Smart Variable Frequency Electric Fan Pro supports 100 levels of wind speed adjustment.
This kind of detailed adjustment method is more flexible than the common 3-stage or 5-stage wind speed of ordinary fans. Users can adjust the air volume according to their needs. For example, strong wind is needed to quickly cool down during the day, only gentle breeze is needed to maintain air flow at night, and the wind speed is reduced when used with air conditioners. In addition, the head swing angle can also be adjusted in 10° increments, making wind direction control more precise.
When many people use an electric fan for a long time, they feel that the wind feels too fixed or even a bit stiff. In order to make the usage experience closer to nature, Xiaomi has added 4 natural wind modes to this fan. These modes will adjust the wind speed changes through algorithms to simulate the rhythm of outdoor breeze, so that the wind will not always maintain the same intensity.
The actual feeling will be more like natural airflow rather than monotonous direct blowing wind. For people who need to blow air for a long time, such as working at a desk or using a fan while sleeping, this design can make the overall body feel more comfortable.
When using an electric fan in the bedroom, noise is often an important factor affecting sleep. The Mijia Smart Variable Frequency Electric Fan Pro uses a stepless variable frequency motor and operates at a volume of only 28.62 decibels at the lowest gear.
This volume is roughly close to the background sound in a quiet room, so it is less likely to disturb sleep when used at night. Coupled with the rhythm changes of natural wind patterns, the overall experience will be softer than a fixed wind speed.
Another interesting aspect of this fan is its USB Type-C power supply interface. General electric fans usually require power from a fixed socket, but the Mijia Smart Inverter Fan Pro can not only use the standard 24W charger, but also be powered by a mobile power supply.
This means that in certain situations, such as balconies, outdoor camping, or living environments where there are no surrounding spaces with sockets. At this time, the fan can be operated through the mobile power supply. This design is actually quite convenient for people who like camping or outdoor activities.
In terms of smart home appliance integration, Mijia Smart Variable Frequency Fan Pro also continues Xiaomi’s consistent ecosystem advantages. Through the Mijia App, you can realize a variety of operating functions, such as remotely turning the fan on and off, setting timer operation, and adjusting the wind speed and head swing angle.
In addition, it also supports Xiao Ai’s voice control, so you can control the fan through voice commands. At the same time, it can also be added to Xiaomi Pengpai Smart Internet to form an automation scenario with other smart home appliances.
Many people actually know that electric fans can effectively improve cooling efficiency when used with air conditioners. Mijia Smart Variable Frequency Electric Fan Pro also adds smart linkage function in this regard. Through the Mijia App, you can link the fan and air conditioner settings to operate. When the air conditioner starts cooling, the fan will simultaneously accelerate the air circulation and send the cold air to all corners of the room faster. This combination can not only make the indoor temperature more uniform, but also help reduce the power consumption of the air conditioner.
For families that keep the air conditioner on for long periods of time, this combination can actually improve overall comfort. In addition, users can also remotely turn on the device through the App before going home to cool down the home in advance and feel the cool air when they enter the door.
In terms of appearance design, Mijia Smart Inverter Fan Pro continues Xiaomi’s consistent minimalist style. The overall thickness is reduced by about 35% compared to previous models, making it look cleaner.
In addition, this fan also supports height adjustment and can be switched between floor fan mode and table fan mode. As long as the structure is adjusted, the height can be changed according to the use needs, so that one fan can cope with different scenarios.
One of the biggest headaches for many people after summer is to store electric fans. The Mijia Smart Variable Frequency Electric Fan Pro has a simplified structure in its design and can be disassembled and assembled in only 4 steps. The official also comes with a storage box, which can completely store the fan during the season change and reduce the space occupied.
For those who live in an apartment or a small house or want to take it camping, this design can indeed reduce a lot of storage troubles.
At present, the Mijia Smart Variable Frequency Electric Fan Pro has been launched in the Chinese market through crowdfunding, with a recommended price of RMB 599 and a crowdfunding discount of RMB 429. Judging from Xiaomi’s past product strategy, if it is introduced to the Taiwan market in the future, the price will usually still maintain a good price/performance ratio, so many people are looking forward to it.
