If you’re looking for a circulating fan that can move air around your home better than the average model, Amazon has marked down the SwitchBot Standing Circulator Fan to $89.99 (usually $129.99) for Prime Day. The battery-powered upright fan tilts vertically and oscillates horizontally, and it is adjustable from 18 to 40 inches in height, giving it more versatility than other fans at this price point. The brushless motor has enough power for a bedroom or home office and ranges from a faint 28dB to 50dB at full speed from about a meter away.

A quiet, battery-powered fan that moves a lot of air despite its small size, the Switchbot Standing Circulator is a surprisingly versatile smart home addition.
Like other SwitchBot products, the circulator fan can connect to your Alexa, Siri, or Google Home setup through a Matter-enabled SwitchBot Hub. Unfortunately, the only accessible control is turning the fan on and off. To adjust the power or oscillation settings, you’ll need to use the onboard controls or its remote, which is magnetically nested at the back of the fan, surrounded by an optional night light. The rechargeable battery lasts about two hours with the speed at its highest and with all the features on, but easily lasts through the night at the lowest speed. If you’d prefer not to worry about it dying overnight, you can use a USB-C power bank to keep it topped up.
