About this deal
You can never bank on getting hot weather in the UK but, when it does come, it can come with a thump. When the mercury rises and the air stays still, it’s almost impossible to escape the humidity and heat, yet – for most of us – air conditioning is overkill. Get hold of a fan, however, and you can get a breeze going inside your home and make the temperature a bit more bearable. Put one in the lounge and you can properly chill out; get one in the bedroom and you might just get some sleep. LIVIVO are a company known for several products, including fire pits. However, some of their more popular products include tower fans and many other electronic goods. Among them are their 40" and 47" Titanium Digital Tower Fans. Our fan tests start with a battery of airflow tests, where we measure the speed of the air pushed through the fan at a distance of 1m with an anemometer. We test at maximum and minimum fan speed settings, plus a medium setting in-between. We also measure sound levels at these settings, along with power consumption at the highest and lowest. From there, we use the fan in a selection of different rooms to gauge how effectively they work in different situations and layouts. We also try out any special modes and get to grips with both the built-in controls and the remote control, if supplied. What controls and features should you look for? As the name suggests, this fan also has basic smart features through the Climate Wizard smartphone app, but these don’t extend beyond remote control functions and a timer. Enable the Alexa or Google Home skills, and you can also turn it on or off or change the speed using voice controls, but you can’t switch between the Normal, Sleep and Natural modes.
Not only does it allow the option of turning the fan on and off at your convenience; it means you are able to pre-cool your room whilst you are out and about, as well as staying cool all night long. In addition, some people have had remote control issues. This mostly occurs in the cheaper, 40 inch model and is significantly less rare in the 47 inch version. Highly Capable Cooling: Despite its compact size, this tower fan is a powerhouse. It effectively cools and circulates air in your room, thanks to variable speed settings, multiple operating modes, and automatic oscillation.This isn’t the perfect fan for sleepers, as even on its lowest setting it’s far from silent, but it’s fine for cooling down a small living room or taking some heat out of the bedroom before sleep. Looking for maximum cooling for a minimal cost? The Igenix is pretty hard to beat. LIVIVO 47" DIGITAL TOWER FAN WITH REMOTE CONTROL, TIMER AND MULTIPLE AIR PATTERNS - This sleek, slim, and highly modern-looking titanium themed digital tower fan has a very small footprint on the floor compared with other larger pedestal fans making it perfect for smaller areas where space is at a premium As well as offering multiple speed settings the LIVIVO Digital Tower features a 90 Degree Oscillation function, turning the breeze from left to right so that cool air can be evenly distributed across the room. SPECIFICATION - 47" Height, Small Footprint, Remote Control with Holder, Multiple Operating Modes including Oscillation and programmable air flow patterns, 50W Power, 240V/50Hz, UK mains plug, SPECIFICATION - 40" Height, Small Footprint, Remote Control with Holder, Multiple Operating Modes including Oscillation and programmable air flow patterns, 50W Power, 240V/50Hz, UK mains plug,
Oscillation is the other key feature. Nearly all tower fans oscillate, turning slowly from side to side to cover a larger area, but they differ in how wide the angle of oscillation is. Again, the bigger the space you want to cool, the wider you want it – and you can always turn oscillation off if you just want to keep yourself comfortable.

EASY TO READ DISPLAY - The control panel to the front of the unit is equipped with an easy-to-read extra large LED display indicating the ambient temperature, and the inclusion of a remote control means you don’t even have to get up from your armchair to see the status or operate the unit, while the whisper quiet operation makes it suitable for most areas of the home - even the bedroom or nursery. With the summer heat becoming more intense, and recurrent heat waves becoming more common place in the United Kingdom, there is no better time to be looking out for a great way to cool off. Instead, the best reason to get this fan is that it pushes so much air out over such a high and wide area, thanks to the sheer size of the fan, a 2.4m/sec maximum airflow and an 80˚ degree oscillation feature. It’s just a shame that it’s noisy, putting out 46dB at its highest settings and 40dB even in Sleep mode, while the Natural mode is plain distracting, constantly revving up and revving down the fan speed. Still, if you want a fan for a large space and noise doesn’t matter, this one’s a keeper, and one of the few tower fans we’ve tested that can rival a pedestal fan on reach and range. It doesn’t take up as much space, yet it’s a serious tower of power.Oscillation - The fan has a 90 degree oscillation option. You can choose to cool a specific area with the function off, or cool a wide area with it on. Sleek and Space-Saving Design: The LIVIVO 32" Tower Fan boasts a modern neutral white color and a slim profile, making it perfect for smaller spaces where floor space is limited. Speeds / Modes - You can choose from three fan speeds - Low, Medium and High. There are also three operational modes - Normal, Natural and Night Mode. Normal runs the fan constantly at the set speed. Natural cycles through these speeds to mimic outdoor conditions. Night Mode starts off on high speed but lowers the speed over time, helping you to get to sleep. Decided that a tower fan is for you? Well, now your choice comes down to size and features. Generally speaking, the larger and taller the fan, the higher the airflow and the bigger the room it can cool, with the added bonus that you might not have to push it so hard to have the same effect. This means you can run the fan at a slower speed with – usually – less noise. That’s handy, as noise is the second-biggest factor. A noisy tower fan can be distracting in the daytime, but a real issue if it stops you dropping off to sleep at night. Integrated 2-Hour Timer: Set the timer for up to 2 hours of operation and enjoy a peaceful night's sleep knowing that the fan will automatically shut off once you're asleep or when you no longer need it.
It’s easy to use, has a timer and a great natural breeze setting, and is reasonably powerful by compact tower fan standards; we measured the maximum airflow at 2.2m/sec. It’s also light enough to lug around everywhere, which is handy in a heatwave. Throw in low energy consumption, even at higher speeds, and this is the best of the compact options. Our Tower Fan features a 90-degree oscillation function, which means it distributes cool air evenly across the room by swaying the breeze from left to right. Say goodbye to hot spots, and revel in consistent cooling no matter where you are in the room. Take full control of your cooling experience with the integrated 2-hour timer. Set it to your preferred time, and let the fan work its magic. Worried about forgetting to turn it off? No problem – the automatic shut-off feature ensures your peace of mind and energy savings. Whether you're in a cosy apartment or a compact living space, our Tower Fan's slim profile and unobtrusive design make it the ideal choice. Enjoy a cool and comfortable atmosphere without sacrificing style or floor space. Don't let sweltering summer days get the best of you. Upgrade your home comfort with the LIVIVO Digital Tower Fan, your reliable companion for a refreshing and relaxed environment. Stay cool, stay comfortable, and take control of your comfort today! The fan further benefits from a remote control, enabling the user to stay cool and stay put, while the timer function, with automatic shut off, gives you much more flexibility with how you can get the most out of your fan. The problem is easily fixed by getting larger screws from a local hardware or DIY store, however it's not a problem that should really exist. Even if the small footbase is convenient and compact. Our ReviewNATURAL AND NIGHT-TIME MODES - When set to ‘natural’ mode, the fan will automatically fluctuate through the 3 speeds emulating the gusts and lulls of wind for a natural feel, while setting ‘night’ mode will slowly decrease the intensity of the air flow over time Another issue we encountered when buying both fans for review, was the manual assembly required. Some or all of the screws for the base tended to be ill fitting, leaving the base unstable and causing it to make a rattling noise. Vented Blade Guard - The unit has a vented safety guard which protects the blade (and fingers) from damage, whilst ensuring maintained air flow. Efficient Cooling: Don't be fooled by its size; this tower fan offers impressive cooling power, ensuring you stay comfortable during hot days and nights.
