I was already a big fan of SwitchBot’s big circulator fan I recently reviewed, and now we’re getting the SwitchBot Battery Circulator Fan 2 Pro. Priced at $119.99, it ditches the height-adjustable stand but increases battery life, throw distance, and wind speed while adding native Matter-over-Wi-Fi, allowing it to join your smart home without needing a separate SwitchBot Hub.
The compact Fan 2 Pro is designed to be carried anywhere and move air around medium-sized rooms, a balcony, or family tent. It features a big 3,600mAh battery for up to 70 hours of very quiet (21dB), cordless operation at low speed, or four hours on max. It can operate even longer when connected to a USB-C power bank or large power station. The blades, filter, and front & rear housing are fully detachable for easy cleaning, and there’s even an integrated nightlight.
The Fan 2 Pro can move air up and around thanks to its ability to continuously oscillate 90-degrees vertically and horizontally. It has the highest maximum wind velocity (6.5 m/s or 21.3 ft/s) and the longest throw distance (33.5m or 110ft) of any SwitchBot fan to date. It does, however, move slightly less volume (477 CFM vs. 489 CFM) than the original Battery Circulator Fan it replaces, but easily… blows the Standing Circulator Fan away (323 CFM).
Availability of the SwitchBot Battery Circulator Fan 2 Pro is limited to North America. The UK and European model will arrive later with a built-in negative ion generator designed to reduce airborne dust and static electricity.
