Until… one day I entered a metropolitan gallery for some “eye candy” of the cultural variety and was almost immediately surprised by a pleasant draft of air. I heard nothing and tried to locate the source. Controls are simple, using the built-in speed control on the fan, the remote control, or the app, compatible with any modern device. There are 26-speed settings, a seriously wide variety, as well as the usual variety of function modes, including night settings. On the downside, it’s one of the more expensive fans and if you don’t need one that will heat as well, you could save money with one of the others on our list. Whisper Flex: the first design fan with the option to make it completely wireless. Thanks to the free smartphone app and optional battery, you can use this fan anywhere and take it with you; For example, to your bedroom or that place in your garden where you like to read a book. It is adjustable in height and transforms effortlessly from table to floor model due to the horizontal and vertical swing. And the best part? It’s whisper-quiet, so you can focus on that one book or go to sleep peacefully.

If you’re tech-savvy then you can also connect this fan to your WiFi, whereby it's compatible with Google Assistant and Alexa. So you can shout at the controls rather than angrily pressing buttons to make it do what you want. That same convenience can also make smart fans perfect for the elderly, or anyone who has lowered mobility due to illness or other factors, allowing them to control the temperature in their home without unnecessary strain. Firstly, the fact that you don’t have to get up to adjust it. This might just seem like an excuse for laziness, but it’s also invaluable as a time saver if, for example, you’re working and don’t want to keep getting up to adjust the airflow in your office.

A smart fan is relatively simple to describe. It’s literally a fan that can be controlled through Bluetooth, using your phone or other devices. There are 3-speed settings, a timer that can be set for up to 8 hours, and a scheduling mode, letting you set up your fan to turn on, for example, half an hour before you get home. Is it energy efficient? Another thing that’s easy to overlook, especially if the fan is on the cheap side is how efficient with power the fan is while running. Smart fans generally use less power than normal ones but it’s still something we look into. Assembly is simple and all parts are well and well -arranged. Despite this fan consists largely of plastic, it is in my impression that it has been made sturdy and stable enough and has a nice compact design so that it is nicely absorbed in the interior and also does not stand out due to its silence.

The AirGo Smart Fan was supposedly the UK’s first smart pedestal fan, so has some serious heritage to build on. It’s also Quiet Mark approved, making this one of the quietest fans on the market for its 55W power rating. So should you buy the Duux Whisper Flex Ultimate Fan? Well, this fan is an investment, coming in at nearly twice the price of the second most expensive fan we've reviewed, the EcoAir Kinetic Fan, and over eight times more expensive than the much cheaper Honeywell Turbo Force Power Fan, so it really all depends on your budget and how much you value the Duux Whisper Flex Ultimate Fan's five main plus points. There’s also a timer function that lets you set a time duration between 1-12 hours after which the fan will automatically switch off; a night mode that automatically turns the LCD display off after 10 seconds for nighttime use; and a temperature function whereby the fan will measure the ambient room temperature against your desired setting and will automatically decrease its speed once the goal temperature is reached. At some point I was pleased to hear that Mr Dyson (yes that one) would also be embarking on the shaky path of air travel. The ultimate result of his involvement, however, was downright disappointing. Yes, the design was visually groundbreaking. No fan blades but a futuristic looking ring with a strong airflow coming out of it. But what a noise!! It looked like a hairdryer on full blast….You have four different heat settings and 10 speeds. Despite its slim appearance, you can heat or cool spaces up to around 50m square. In night mode, the display turns off completely after 10 seconds to ensure a good night\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\\’s sleep. The display can be reactivated by pressing the control button. At the lowest speed, the fan produces only 13 dBa and thanks to the double blade design, the cutting wind noise is reduced.
