GoveeLife 42'' Tower Fan for Bedroom, Smart Floor Fans with 150° Adjustable Oscillating, APP & Voice Control, 5 Modes 12 Speeds up to 26ft/s, 24H Timer, 27dB Quiet Fan for Cooling Home Office Silver

I'm loving this fan. I've only had it about 2 weeks, but so far it works as advertised and is simple to schedule and customize.All of the fan's features, and there are several, are adjustable via the app or on the fan itself, but I've mostly used the app so far.It is ETL listed (similar to UL) which is something I look for in any electrical appliance.It has 12 speeds - speed #1 is a very, very light breeze, just barely noticeable, and #12 is hurricane force winds. I think #12 could blow you off your chair, so if you have a large area or are outdoors, 12 will definitely cover it.The nightlight can be turned off, set to one of hundreds of colors, or even a 'scene' where it changes colors. The display showing the fan speed can be turned off as well so that it doesn't bother you at night if you use the fan in your bedroom.You can set it to turn on/off on a timer, and you can schedule it to go on and off on whichever days and times you like, with settings for the nightlight, oscillation, etc. that you can program it for. You can customize each day of the week and any time of day for various operations. Very cool feature.The only "remote" is your cell phone/pad using the Govee app, or, you can control it manually on the fan itself. You can connect it to Alexa (she recognized it without me even doing anything) and Google and Matter. Apparently there's specific instructions to connect it to Matter (which I don't have). I think there was something in the box with instructions on how to do that.Programming it and using the app is easy. I'm 65 years old and have had no problem programming Govee products or using the app (the app took some getting used to, and they change it up now and then, but you can figure it out if I can).It is very quiet on the lower speeds (1-3) and as loud as any other fan I've had on high speeds.I'm using this fan in my bedroom, which is at least 15' x 15' in size. The fan is about 10' from the head of my bed, and on speed #1 I can feel a very gentle and quiet breeze on my head. Speed setting #3 is probably the most I would need to go in my bedroom, in the dead of summer.Right now I have it scheduled to come on Mon - Sun at 10 pm, speed #1, oscillating at 15 degrees on one side and 30 degrees on the other, with the nightlight on at 50% (that's the glow near the top of the fan in the photos), and for now I have it scheduled to turn off at 1:30 a.m. because it's still a bit cool where I am. In the summer I'll program it to go all night and turn off in the a.m.You can adjust the oscillation feature so that if you have it in a corner, you can make it stop rotating when it gets to the wall(s); or, have it oscillate 'X' degrees to the left and a different degree to the right. It's a really nice feature! (See my screenshot/photo.)The air blows from the fan starting about 6" from the floor I guess; in other words, my dog laying just a couple of feet in front of the fan won't directly feel the air. Step a few feet away though and you can feel it closer to the floor.I haven't had any squeaks, rattles or other unwanted noises from the fan, but time will tell if that stays true.The actual operation of it is quiet, but of course the fan/wind noise increases as you get above 3 or 4, as you would expect. My living area/den is about 20 x 20, and I wouldn't need it on higher than 3 to get a good breeze there, but in my bedroom 3 is the max I need.The aroma sticks are a nice feature, and they work. You soak a stick in essential oil for about 3 or 4 minutes to let it soak in, place it in the little silver 'tube' and clip it onto the front of the fan. It does give off a nice scent, but I imagine you have to repeat the process frequently if you use it daily (you can reuse the stick many times; it comes with 12). I tried it and it made my bedroom smell really nice, but I took it off because my dogs are in there with me at night and I it's not good for them to have that scent going on in a closed room. But I can clip it back on and run it for a bit during the day when they're not in there to freshen the room up.The fan came very well packaged and putting it together was a simple as snapping the two pieces of the base together, attaching it to the base of the fan with one big 'screw' thing, and plugging the power cord in (be sure to run it under the base like the instructions say so that the fan isn't sitting on the cord). It probably took all of 5 minutes for me to do. The fan is light in weight, and although I'm pretty weak in the arms these days I had no problem getting it put together and carrying it to my bedroom.This fan is a bit pricey, but imo, it's well worth the money for so many features and customization.If anything changes, I'll be sure to update.

I was immediately impressed the moment I turned out the fan the first time. This thing is powerful, enough for me feel cold while it's almost 80 degrees outside. I have to keep the fan at maybe a level 4. A level 12 inside my apartment feels like a legit wind storm. At level 8 and below, the fan also is quiet, appropriate for work and socializing.The ambient light doesn't serve any purpose besides aesthetic but I'm still very glad to have it because it's such a nice touch and it makes the fan belong to the rest of the nearby govee devices. The fan looks nice in the living room.And ofc, Alexa connection is also smooth, it took less than a minute to set the fan up with the rest of my devices.I also have a $250+ Dyson fan. For cooling only purpose, Govee fan definitely took the crown here.I cannot speak of the longevity yet because I have had the fan for a couple of days but I have had other Govee products for years and the hardwares hold up.Overall, I think this product is great for the price. I'm happy I got just in time for the summer.

GoveeLife 42'' Tower Fan for Bedroom, Smart Floor Fans with 150° Adjustable Oscillating, APP & Voice Control, 5 Modes 12 Speeds up to 26ft/s, 24H Timer, 27dB Quiet Fan for Cooling Home Office Silver:I really like the Govee app, well designed and easy to use. There is a lot of customization, but I found I only use the normal setting after initially playing around for a few weeks. I use it in the bedroom where I run it at level 5 at night and 8-12 (high) sometimes to cool off. It does have a nature setting that moves from slow and high to simulate wind, but I like the constant noise at night.Being able to control the oscillate feature is really nice. I can set it to just swing across the bed, not waste time reaching too far. You do have to watch it a bit to see where the center is/ swing goes initially setting it. You can set swing speed at low or high, I use low. You can even make it not symmetrical.Night light is a cool feature and you can change colors, but I like no lights at night. I also like being able to turn the indicator lights off too to keep it completely dark. I really like being able to control it with Alexa/echo devices, never need to find the remote or even open the app. I could set scheduling through the app or Alexa but just use voice when going to bed or waking up.Other notes: sound level is probably about the same as my other fans. It is hard to see where the center is when starting oscillation. I do wish it was a little longer/taller or adjustable but at 42 inches ok, good for wind over the bed.
