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

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. 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. There are some thoughtful touches such as the compartment where you can dock the supplied remote, the carrying handle and the soft-glow indicators at the top, where they won’t shine in your eyes as the fan oscillates from side to side.

An indoor appliance with three fan speeds, three operating modes, an oscillation function and a timer. We also try out any special modes and get to grips with both the built-in controls and the remote control, if supplied. 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. You may find other settings that vary the speed to give you the feeling of a natural breeze – although the rise and fall of the fan noise tends to spoil the overall effect – and sleep settings designed to minimise the hum and keep you cool without keeping you awake. Still, the old-school mechanical timer works surprisingly well, and if it’s not the most refined of fans, you’ll appreciate its icy blast as the temperature soars.

You can never bank on getting hot weather in the UK but, when it does come, it can come with a thump. 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. 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. Luckily, with just three speed settings, a timer and a choice of three modes, you shouldn’t need to use them all that often. All in all, the LIVIVO Tower Fan is a slim, sleek and stylish appliance with plenty of scope and features.

It also oscillates and has a two-hour timer, although the latter’s an old-school mechanical effort with a quiet tick. It offers plenty of choice with regards to cooling, including three fan speeds (Low / Medium / High), three operational modes (Normal / Natural / Night Mode), a 90 degree oscillation function and a countdown scheduling timer. metres per second to cover more vertical space than most tower fans, and across a 60 degree arc with oscillation.We also measure sound levels at these settings, along with power consumption at the highest and lowest. height, its built-in ioniser mode and its rather classy brushed copper finish – even if it’s just a coloured plastic.

Put one in the lounge and you can properly chill out; get one in the bedroom and you might just get some sleep. 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. Tower fans aren’t your only option – desktop fans, floor fans and pedestal fans can all be great – but they’re often the most practical. That’s a lot of cooling power, even if we’d say that the airflow is strongest relatively low to the ground.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. 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. The ionisation feature is designed to discharge negative ions that attach to positive ions to freshen-up your environment.

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. And it will also do so relatively quietly, and often more efficiently than the equivalent pedestal or floor fan. 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.

Vented Blade Guard - The unit has a vented safety guard which protects the blade (and fingers) from damage, whilst ensuring maintained air flow. 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. Their air management appliances include air coolers, tower fans, desk fans, stand fans, humidifiers, and more.
