Manufacturer’s product description
Especially during the warm summer months or in poorly ventilated rooms, powerful fans are a useful addition to living or working spaces. The two-in-one model tested here. tower fan with air purifier function combines classic air circulation with integrated H13 HEPA filters, which are designed to additionally reduce dust, pollen, and fine airborne particles from the room air. As a result, the device is aimed not only at people seeking cooling but also at those with higher standards for air quality.
The manufacturer promises quiet and energy-efficient operation thanks to a modern BLDC motor, a total of twelve wind speeds, various operating modes, and convenient control via touch panel or remote control. The features are complemented by 60° oscillation, a timer function, and an integrated temperature display.
With a price of €134.99, the device is positioned in the mid-range segment of modern tower fans.
Our test was designed to show how the model performs in everyday use in terms of noise level, airflow, ease of use, stability, and ease of maintenance, and whether the combination of fan and air purifier has been effectively implemented.

The product is shipped in a sturdy cardboard box that reliably protects the fan. Inside, custom-fit Styrofoam inserts ensure secure support during transport. Additionally, the fan itself, the power cord, and the remote control are each individually wrapped in plastic film. While this ensures very safe shipping, it also generates a relatively large amount of packaging waste. More sustainable materials would have been preferable here.
The contents of the package arrived complete and undamaged. In addition to the fan itself, the box contains a remote control with a battery, two filters, and an instruction manual in German and English. The manual is clearly organized and explains all functions in an easy-to-understand way, making setup a breeze.
Overall, the device makes a positive impression upon unboxing. The packaging reliably protects the sensitive components, and the contents are complete. In particular, the included filters and the battery for the remote control are customer-friendly and allow for immediate use after unboxing.

Visually, the tower fan has a deliberately simple and understated design. The device is available in black and white. We tested the black version. Both color options have a modern and neutral look, allowing the fan to blend seamlessly into living rooms, bedrooms, or offices.
The build quality makes a good overall impression. There are no visible material defects, rough edges, or other manufacturing flaws. The housing is made entirely of plastic, yet it feels sufficiently sturdy and is cleanly finished. The controls and filter covers fit snugly with no noticeable play.
Overall, the device conveys a high-quality impression without appearing unnecessarily flashy. The compact design relative to the unit’s height is particularly noteworthy, allowing the fan to remain comparatively space-saving despite its size.
The manufacturer does not provide specific details regarding the sustainability of production or the materials used. However, due to the high build quality and long-term reusability, the product can at least partially be classified as sustainable. Additional information on material origin or recycled content would nevertheless be desirable.

In practical testing, the tower fan impressed particularly with its versatile adjustment options and the pleasantly even airflow. At low power settings, the unit operates almost silently and is therefore very well suited for bedrooms or home offices. However, at around 50% power and above, the fan becomes significantly more audible, even if it remains within the noise level specified by the manufacturer. Operation is pleasantly quiet, especially in sleep mode.
The airflow performance is impressive overall. The twelve wind speeds offer a noticeable range of intensity, while the 60° oscillation distributes the airflow evenly throughout the room. Thanks to the tower design, the air is also dispersed over a larger vertical area, ensuring that no single point is focused on. Additional features such as a timer, various wind modes, and the integrated air purification round out the positive overall impression nicely.
The stability is impressive despite the comparatively narrow design. Thanks to the wide base and low center of gravity, the unit stands securely on various surfaces. However, caution is advised in households with small children, as tipping over remains a possibility. A positive aspect here is that there are no exposed rotor blades, as found on traditional fans.
Cleaning and maintenance are straightforward. The two filters can be removed, cleaned, or replaced without tools via side flaps. The exterior surfaces can be easily cleaned with a dust cloth or microfiber cloth.
We did not notice any significant heat buildup, even during prolonged use.
Overall, the device impresses with its good airflow, ease of use, and high suitability for everyday use.
