The display can be reactivated by pressing the control button. At the lowest speed, the fan produces only 13 dBa and thanks to the double blade design, the cutting wind noise is reduced. It’s up against some stiff competition in the stellar Meaco 1056P, however, which has a little more welly and slightly lower power consumption for a slightly lower price. Your choice really comes down to which style you prefer and whether you think app and voice controls are worth the extra. Either way, you’re getting an exceptional pedestal fan.

It also seems consciously chosen for lightweight and strong ABS plastic to minimize the operating sound, which is a huge difference with metal fans. Remote control also works as it should and operation is simple, so that the smart section is completely unnecessary for my situation and opinion and is not worth the additional price. The telescopic stand is also an advantage with this model to easily adjust the height and was another reason not to go for the Smart. I am happy with my choice for this Duux, also because this turns out to be a Dutch brand and as a Belgian I like to support our friendly northern neighbors with their beautiful and efficient product design! Beautiful and very quiet as described, in terms of sustainability I can’t tell anything yet, but this also looks good given the design and choice of materials!

The Duux Whisper Flex is essentially a pedestal fan with a clever modular design, enabling it to work effectively as a room fan or a smaller floor-level fan. The motor unit sits on a mount that swivels both horizontally and vertically, allowing it to oscillate in both directions, and this connects through a tough plastic stalk to the base where the onboard controls sit.

Like the Meacofan 1056, the Whisper Flex Smart produces a consistent and reasonably focused column of air. At the minimum speed, we measured this at 1.9 metres per second (m/s) from 15cm, falling to 1.5m/s at one metre. At full speed, this rose to a mighty 5.8m/s at 15cm and 4.4m/s one metre away. Even at two metres, we still recorded a blowy 3.3m/s – even more than we measured from the Meacofan. If you’re tech-savvy then you can also connect this fan to your WiFi, whereby it's compatible with Google Assistant and Alexa. So you can shout at the controls rather than angrily pressing buttons to make it do what you want.
