The weather is getting hotter and the temperature is beginning to approach 40 degrees. In such a hot temperature, many people are used to turning on the air conditioner, and the temperature is set very low, so it is easy to get air-conditioning disease. In addition, when returning from the hot outdoors to indoors, turn on the air conditioner directly, and you will catch a cold when the cold wind blows. At this time, it is best to blow the fan for a while. Recently, Xiaomi launched Mijia Smart Standing Fan 1X, which is known as “simulating natural wind”.
How does 1X simulate natural wind? Can it really bring us comfortable natural wind? Tookfun takes everyone to experience it.
The installation is simple and takes 2 minutes.
The packaging is very simple, common corrugated cardboard outer packaging. Printed with product name and product line diagram.
All components after unpacking. Including motor + pillar, front/rear fan cover, fan blade, base, fan blade knob, wrench, bolt, power cord, and manual.
【Installation】
Although this standing fan needs to be assembled by yourself, the installation process is very simple.
There are roughly eight steps to installation. The first is to assemble large objects together. The base and fuselage support rods are screwed together by bolts.
Then install the rear fan cover on the motor, and tighten the knob of the fan cover clockwise.
Then align the fan blade with the motor shaft and insert it, and tighten the fan blade knob counterclockwise.
Then directly insert the front fan cover into the rear fan cover. Rotate clockwise to align and complete the installation of the standing fan.
It should be noted that the screws must be inserted into the holes at the bottom of the fan cover to fix the fan cover. In this way, 1X is installed in just a few steps. Just plug in the power and use it.
There is natural wind at home
After installing the 1X, we see that its appearance still continues the design style of the previous generation Mijia smart standing fan. Simple and clean, suitable for most home decoration environment now. The white body also brings a refreshing feeling in the hot summer.
Although the size of 950*343*330mm is slightly higher than the previous Mijia standing fan, it is still relatively small compared to ordinary household standing fans. I carry 1X, which is very light. Looking at the official data, it is only 2.8kg, even girls can carry it at will.
In the physical control area on the top of the fan, there are a switch button, a wind speed/mode switch button, a head shaking button and a timing button. The settings of these four physical buttons are also clever. Wind speed/mode switch key, long press to switch between natural wind and standard wind, and then short press once to switch between 4 wind speeds. The four indicator lights on the front can display the current wind speed well. The timing button can be set to close at 1, 2, 3, and 4 hours, also indicated by the four indicator lights on the top.
Since 1X claims to be able to simulate natural wind, we must first know what natural wind is. Generally speaking, the wind blown by an ordinary fan is the wind formed by stirring the indoor air. Although it can take away the body’s heat when blowing air, if the heat circulates indoors for a long time, it means that the room is still hot. The natural wind uses air convection to supplement the lower temperature air flow to the higher temperature place, changing the overall temperature in the environment. Obviously, natural wind is much cooler than standard wind.
How does 1X do it? The secret lies in the changes in fan blades and wind speed. 1X uses a specially customized 7-piece large-area airfoil profile leatherleaf, which can bring more dense and uniform airflow cutting, and restore the softness and softness of natural wind better.
In addition, because 1X uses a self-developed simulation natural wind algorithm. By using random variables, a completely different natural wind can be generated. Even with the same fan, the wind speed change in the next second cannot be predicted. This is very similar to natural wind.
Now, let’s actually feel the “natural wind”. We adjusted the mode to “Natural Wind”. In the first gear, the wind blowing is very gentle. Even if it is turned to gear 4, the feeling of wind on the face is still very comfortable. In the natural wind mode, it feels very comfortable to blow. Compared with the standard wind of ordinary fans, the wind it blows is very soft. This effect can be achieved because the 1X blowing wind is soft and wide, and the algorithm is used to simulate the irregular changes of natural wind. It will not keep people in a state of high-speed loss of heat and humidity like standard wind. In addition to fixed 1-4 gears, combined with Mijia APP, 1X can achieve up to 100 gears infinitely variable.
On the contrary, in the standard wind mode, the wind at the 1st gear is fine, and the wind at the 4th gear really makes the face stiff, which is obviously different from the natural wind.
Compared with the previous generation of products, the angle of the 1X left and right swing head can be adjusted between 30 degrees and 140 degrees.
The fan can also be manually adjusted in pitch angle. It adopts stepless damping shaft, which is very convenient and easy to use. The ultra-long air supply distance of 14 meters, if used with air conditioning in the hot summer, can evenly distribute the air-conditioning to all parts of the room.
【Smart Operation】
In addition to physical button operation, if you want to accurately operate 1X’s 100-speed wind speed adjustment and precise timing shutdown, you must use the Mijia APP. The connection method is the same as that of other smart homes. Log in to the Mijia APP homepage, click on the “+” in the upper right corner, find “Air treatment” in the add device interface, and select “Mi Smart Standing Fan 1X”. Long press the fan’s on-off key and air volume key, and you can enter the connection state after hearing the prompt tone.
After the connection is successful, you can see many functions in the APP operation interface, such as switching between standard wind and natural wind, and adjusting the wind speed. In addition to these, the APP also has the function of accurately adjusting the 100 gears and fine-tuning the angle of the wind in the left and right directions. (It should be noted that the physical buttons on the fuselage cannot control the swing angle, and can only be turned on/off) There is also a scheduled shutdown function on the APP, which can set a scheduled shutdown of up to 8 hours. In addition, there are functions such as indicator light, indicating sound, and child lock function.
In addition to Mijia APP, you can also use Xiaoai voice assistant to control 1X. The voice control switch can also accurately control the timing shutdown, wind speed adjustment, head swing angle, etc. The experience is very friendly.
【Noise】
1X adopts 7 large-area airfoil profile blades, which can cut the air flow more evenly than the ordinary 3-blade/5-blade fan blade design. The direct wind is strong and the natural wind is soft. At the same time, it is very silent, and you can hardly hear the sound in the natural wind mode when placed in the house.
According to official data, the lowest working sound is only 26.6dB. And when I actually use it, I can intuitively feel its quietness and no noise. The basic use during the day and the ambient sound are integrated, and the sound is more pronounced only when the four-speed standard wind is performed. The standard wind blowing below the third gear and the natural wind in all gears can hardly feel the presence of machine noise. The natural wind in the first and second gears is even quieter than the night environment and can be used when sleeping.
Conclusion
Finally, let’s talk about the advantages and disadvantages.
Advantage:
- Simple shape and high appearance face value;
- The noise control is perfect;
- The setting of natural wind is very interesting, which improves the comfort of the fan;
- It can be controlled by mobile phone App and Xiaoai voice assistant.
Insufficient:
- The power cord is not long enough;
- I don’t particularly like transparent fan blades, because transparent fan blades look relatively cheap;
- Because the pillar is hollow, there is the sound of wire shaking inside when working.
Overall, the experience of Mijia Mi Smart Standing Fan 1X is very good. When the summer is hot, the air conditioner can make the temperature in the home faster and cooler; when it is not very hot, direct natural wind is more comfortable. Low noise and intelligent voice operation have a good experience. The experience bonus brought by Mijia APP is not available in most smart fans currently on the market. The energy of the Mijia ecological chain is indeed quite large, and the advantages of high cost performance, friends who have used Mjia products should all understand. Therefore, friends who are interested can consider buying one. Cool down this scorching summer.
