The biggest difference between Xiaomi and other mobile phone brands is its huge ecosystem. The company has already told us that it plans to expand this bit by bit and we’re seeing more and more devices available on its website.

The last one we tried was born out of a personal decision. This year in Seville it is very hot and already in April we started thinking about air conditioning the house. It wasn’t warm enough to put on the air conditioning but it was warm enough to need a fan.
In my house I have lots of ceiling fans, but there aren’t any in the living room, so we decided to buy a freestanding one. Looking around I remembered that Xiaomi had one for sale and set out to investigate. In the end, it turned out that there were four different models, with different prices and features and, considering the functions, power and design, they were not expensive.
So I said to myself “If it’s something that I missed, surely there are more people who are interested in it”. Said and done, I asked Xiaomi for a few days for a unit to analyze it and I was with it in my living room. I already tell you that as soon as I leave my house, I return to the offices of Xiaomi Europe, I will buy one.
Small and elegant
One of the things I like the most about Xiaomi is that, without being a luxury or expensive brand, it takes great care in the design of its products. We have already seen it in the airfryer, the blender or even in vacuum cleaners.
Here you can also enjoy, with a minimalist design, in white, both plastic and metal, which fits perfectly into any environment.
Of course the size caught my eye, I expected it to be bigger. It is not that it is necessary, in fact, it is appreciated when you have to put it near a piece of furniture.
At the top we have four buttons, which give us access to the same functions that we have in the application:
- Alight.
- Spin.
- Power.
- Breeze / gust.
The power of the blades is very high, for the living room, when I am alone, with phase 1 and 2 it is sufficient, with the outside at 32 degrees. In the summer we surely want more power, so those extra steps are appreciated.
However, the sound it emits is very weak, and in the first two levels we can forget that the fan is on, except for the air it gives us, of course.
Control the fan from the mobile
Like almost everything Xiaomi sells for the home, the Mi Smart Standing Fan 2 can be integrated with the Mi Home app.
This allows not only to turn it on or off from the mobile, but also to configure its functions.
We can make it turn or stay still, and in the first case we can even choose the angle of rotation, perfect for the passes to be as precise as possible.
You can also change the power of the air, and choose whether you want a direct gust or a natural breeze, which makes the air less powerful. We even have more speed stages than the four of physical control.
Of course, it can be used without having the mobile nearby, thanks to the buttons and LED lights on the top of the fan.
Alexa and Google inside the fan
We can also control this Mi Smart Standing Fan 2 from our favorite voice assistants, although there is a difference.
Integración con Alexa / Integración con el Asistente de Google
En el caso de Google, podemos encenderlo o apagarlo. En el caso de Alexa, también podemos cambiar la potencia de las aspas, algo que no podemos hacer en Google Home.
La integración es sencilla, pero se echa en falta que podamos controlar el resto de funciones, aunque con las básicas vamos más que sobrados. En resumen, que no tendrás que levantarte del sofá si no quieres.
Precio y versiones
Este Mi Smart Standing Fan 2 es el modelo medio de la familia de ventiladores de Xiaomi. Su precio normalmente es de 99.99 dollars, pero en muchas ocasiones lo hemos visto rebajado a 73.99 dollars.
Hay tres más, dos de ellos muy similares, ventiladores de pie, y uno en forma de torre.
