Review on Floor fan Xiaomi Mijia DC Inverter Tower Fan EU, white by Bogusawa Jajeczna ᠌

Revainrating 4 out of 5

A good and high-quality product, but there are disadvantages.

It is really unfortunate that Alice's Smart Home does not know how to operate this fan! However, beginning on June 18, 2022, people started to notice this device and propose to add it to a smart house. He continues, but he is unable to control it and has no idea that this is a fan. They received word of the occurrence. I'm hoping they can find a solution to this issue. Let's get to the point now! The fan has a problem, as many have stated here and even others who gave it 1-3 ratings. Bulk. It's not even a marriage, either. If this defect in the design is not corrected, you'll want to toss this fan away after a week of use! The unnecessary noises that this fan creates at 1-2 speeds are the root of the issue. shown by a chirping, clicking, or tapping sound. The rotor (impeller) appears to be in contact with the housing. I only needed to remove the rear grille, remove the rotating rotor, and carefully pull down the rubber "glass" into which this shaft is inserted at the attachment point of the upper shaft of the rotor to fix the issue in an hour. However, doing so is not required. The self-balancing plain bearing, which has two components—the rubber cup itself as mentioned above and a plastic bushing inserted inside it—is the main component of the construction. This sleeve is the exact source of all these unpleasant noises. On the outside, it resembles a nearly spherical with a hole in which the rotor shaft turns. This hole's walls have a number of longitudinal grooves with sharp edges (in which lubricant is embedded), which produce this chirping sound while the shaft rotates. It is necessary to replace a good bushing with an identical one (ideally made of fluoroplast), but it is simpler to unscrew, clean, replenish the lubricant, and rotate the plastic bushing 180 degrees. Replace the top and bottom positions, then reinstall the rubber cup about 5 mm from the end without pressing all the way down (until it clicks). All. Dispute settled!

Pros
  • Design, small footprint, strength, intelligence - functions within the Mi Home network, energy efficiency, and quiet* (see below). I chose this particular design on purpose since, in contrast to traditional floor fans, it greatly conserves room. In the Mi Home smart home ecosystem, this fan also works for me and is fully automated in accordance with the scenarios that have been defined.
Cons
  • It has a design flaw, which is why it taps and crackles at low speeds (as if the impeller has made contact with something). the information below.

With its pros. Quiet, light, strong wind. Doesn't wake up at night, made a schedule for switching on / off - beauty. Some cons: For some it may be a disadvantage: - Chinese plug (order adapter immediately) - only Chinese region in Mi home.

Has some pros Functional, quiet, can be controlled remotely Cons: Weak, not even enough for 10 sq. M. room, if you like a light breeze, then it will roll

Has pros: Beautiful design, the fan does its job well Has some cons There is no control through Alice, because for some reason does not add this device, periodically there is noise (hum)

Different pros: A good column fan cools a room of 20 sqm calmly. Has some cons Noisy at 3/4 speed. At night it is worth putting the “noise of trees” even at maximum speed (it will be easy to fall asleep)

Has some pros Quiet, beautiful, powerful. Really helps in the heat Its cons: It is very sad that the fork is Chinese. And I had to tighten the antennae so that it would not fall out of the adapter
