SwitchBot 立式循环扇：值得你为它“大打出手”
It’s quiet, battery powered, smart, and moves a decent amount of air for its size. 它安静、电池供电、智能，且在同等尺寸下能提供相当不错的风量。
I can’t remember the last time I got excited about a fan. Normally, I just buy whatever Vornado or Dreo model fits my budget, but that was before I started testing the battery-powered Standing Circulator Fan from SwitchBot. 我不记得上次对一台风扇感到兴奋是什么时候了。通常，我只会买任何符合预算的 Vornado 或 Dreo 型号，但在我开始测试 SwitchBot 这款电池供电的立式循环扇之前，情况确实如此。
As the name indicates, the SwitchBot fan is a 3D circulator — a fancy way of saying that it can tilt up, down, left, and right to push a decent amount air around a room. It looks okay, despite all the plastic, is relatively quiet, runs for hours on battery, has an integrated nightlight, transforms from a desktop to standing fan in seconds, and works on its own or as part of a smart home. There’s a lot to like here. 顾名思义，SwitchBot 风扇是一款 3D 循环扇——这是一种时髦的说法，意味着它可以上下左右摆动，从而在房间内推动相当可观的气流。尽管机身全是塑料材质，但外观尚可，运行相对安静，电池续航长达数小时，内置小夜灯，能在几秒钟内从桌面风扇变身为立式风扇，既可独立使用，也能接入智能家居系统。它有很多令人心动的地方。
Over the last month, I’ve been testing the Standing Circulator Fan in a variety of scenarios at temperatures up to 34 degrees Celsius (93°F) and I’ve gotta say, I’m impressed. It’s so versatile, quiet, and portable that it’s got my whole family fighting over who gets to use it. It’s not cheap at $129.99 (though it’s currently discounted to less than $100), but you’ll be hard-pressed to find a more capable fan for less. 在过去的一个月里，我在各种场景下测试了这款立式循环扇，环境温度最高达到 34 摄氏度（93°F），我必须说，它令我印象深刻。它功能多样、安静且便携，以至于全家人都在争抢使用权。虽然 129.99 美元的定价并不便宜（目前折扣价不到 100 美元），但你很难以更低的价格找到比它更出色的风扇了。
Like many, I still associate SwitchBot with those button-pushing robots. But that’s a disservice to a company that’s branched out into everything from robovacs to doorbells and smart locks. The Standing Circulator Fan is just the latest smart home device in a burgeoning portfolio that now includes Nanoleaf’s lighting gear. 和许多人一样，我依然将 SwitchBot 与那些“按键机器人”联系在一起。但这对这家公司来说有些片面，因为他们已经扩展到了从扫地机器人到门铃和智能锁等各个领域。这款立式循环扇只是其不断增长的产品组合中的最新智能家居设备，该组合现在甚至还包括 Nanoleaf 的照明设备。
The fan head quickly attaches directly to the battery-powered base to create a desktop fan. You can also screw one or two vertical segments in-between to create a standing fan up to 100cm (39.4in) tall. Assembly takes seconds. 风扇头可以直接快速安装到电池底座上，变成桌面风扇。你也可以在中间旋入一到两段立柱，将其变成最高 100 厘米（39.4 英寸）的立式风扇。组装过程只需几秒钟。
Turning it on produces a respectable amount of airflow for a relatively small unit — up to 9.15 cubic meters per minute (about 323 CFM), wind speeds of 6.1m/s (about 20ft/s), and an airflow distance of 27m (about 89 feet), according to the spec sheet — and it can oscillate up to 90 degrees horizontally and 100 degrees vertically. That makes it a medium-duty fan suitable for a bedroom or home office, but it’ll struggle to circulate air in a large living room. 开启后，对于这样一个小巧的设备来说，它产生的风量相当可观——根据规格表，每分钟风量高达 9.15 立方米（约 323 CFM），风速为 6.1 米/秒（约 20 英尺/秒），送风距离达 27 米（约 89 英尺）——并且可以水平摆动 90 度，垂直摆动 100 度。这使它成为适合卧室或家庭办公室的中等功率风扇，但在大型客厅中循环空气会显得有些吃力。
It’s very quiet thanks to its DC brushless motor and fan blade design. When standing about one meter away, I measured 50dB when running at max speed, and a whisper quiet 28dB on the barely audible “Baby” preset I typically use at night. 得益于直流无刷电机和扇叶设计，它非常安静。在距离约一米处测量，最高转速下噪音为 50dB，而在我晚上通常使用的、几乎听不见的“婴儿”模式下，噪音仅为 28dB。
The fan can be controlled from the app, via touch controls built into the base, or with an included remote control that magnetically attaches to the back of the fan. It can also be voice-controlled through Alexa, Google Assistant, and Siri when paired with one of SwitchBot’s Matter-compatible hubs. Unfortunately, Matter only lets you turn it on and off, not adjust any settings, but it’s still useful for automations and scheduled events. “Hey Siri, turn on the standing fan,” is something I’ve been repeating several times each week. 这款风扇可以通过 App、底座上的触摸按键或随附的磁吸式遥控器（可吸附在风扇背面）进行控制。当与 SwitchBot 的 Matter 兼容网关配对时，它还可以通过 Alexa、Google Assistant 和 Siri 进行语音控制。遗憾的是，Matter 目前仅支持开关功能，无法调节设置，但对于自动化和定时任务来说依然很有用。“嘿 Siri，打开立式风扇”，这是我每周都要重复好几次的指令。
One reason SwitchBot’s fan is so compelling is its USB-C rechargeable battery. That makes this standing, articulating fan usable anywhere, no AC outlet required (but you can always plug it in). It helped keep me cool on an outdoor terrace, for example, on one particularly hot, windless day. SwitchBot 风扇如此吸引人的原因之一是其 USB-C 可充电电池。这使得这款立式、可调节角度的风扇可以在任何地方使用，无需交流电源插座（当然你也可以插电使用）。例如，在某个特别炎热且无风的日子里，它在户外露台上帮我保持了凉爽。
The battery lasted 1 hour and 45 minutes with every feature maxed out. That means the nightlight was set to bright and the fan set to high while swiveling through its full range of motion. Battery life can be extended dramatically by dialing things back. In my testing, it easily lasted through the night when set to Baby mode and SwitchBot claims over four days of continuous operation when the rechargeable base is plugged into a standard 10,000mAh USB-C power bank. 在所有功能全开的情况下，电池续航为 1 小时 45 分钟。这意味着小夜灯调至最亮，风扇调至最高档，并处于全范围摆动状态。通过降低设置，电池续航可以大幅延长。在我的测试中，设置为“婴儿”模式时，它轻松撑过了一整晚；SwitchBot 声称，当充电底座连接到标准的 10,000mAh USB-C 移动电源时，可连续运行超过四天。
