It looks good, slots into corners, and blends into various types of home decor with ease.
The Govee Smart Tower Fan almost perfectly ticks this box.
Looks- and size-wise, its subtle enough for you to stick it in a corner and forget about it.
And thanks to its 26-foot air range and 75-degree oscillation, it can cover most medium-sized rooms with ease.
This didnt really detract from the convenience of the voice controls, but it was frustrating at times.
This could be a deal-breaker for some.
One optional extra is the addition of Auto Mode.
It costs $89.99 in the US and 99.99 in the UK (about AU$140).
There are also smart tower fans from Dreo andDysonthat offer similar features and are much more expensive.
With its all-black design, the Govee Smart Tower Fan is attractive yet subtle.
This gives it an air of luxury that makes it look more expensive than its price tag would suggest.
The power button sits bottom left.
The central column controls the fans timer function, and the right-hand column controls the fans speed.
There is then an oscillating button, plus the option to lock the timer or speed setting in place.
you might also turn the lights off if you need or want to.
These provide more options than the built-in panel.
This added customization is welcomed but it soon becomes frustrating when you dont have your phone to hand.
Connecting it to the app is easy and intuitive, as is the app itself.
The app is the only way to see the full range of features and customisations.
Onto the speeds and modes.
The Govee fan comes with three standard modes: Normal, Nature, and Sleep.
Especially at night when it felt like a light breeze.
I preferred this Nature mode over the more gentle, quiet Sleep mode.
It also depends on the bang out of flooring its placed on.
In our dining room, on the wooden floor, it was louder than on our carpeted bedroom floor.
We havent ever noticed this with any other fan weve used.
Govee Smart Tower Fan: Specs
Should I buy the Govee Smart Tower Fan?
This means it can be tucked away in a corner while still cooling a medium-sized room effectively.
Even on Sleep mode.
It has 12 speed settingss, four modes and four oscillating degree options.
It is also our best budget buy.
It has three speed prefs and can turn by 360-degrees so there’s no oscillation.
I used the built-in controls, the app and used voice commands.
I tested it at night, while I slept, on all three standard modes.
All dials and buttons were pressed to see what they would do as well.
