Chinese firms introduce premium smart fan and split air‑conditioner for European heat
Dreame, a Chinese smart‑home brand, released the MF10 premium fan, a bladeless device aimed at improving comfort during intense heat waves. The fan measures about one metre high, weighs 6.3 kg and features two independently pivoting sets of air‑deflecting blades that can cover up to 270 degrees. It connects to the Dreame Home app for remote control, but also works with a handheld remote. The review highlights its minimal‑ist design, material quality and the claim that it competes with high‑end models such as Dyson, while questioning whether its price is justified.
Xiaomi, another Chinese tech giant, offers the Mijia Pro Eco split air‑conditioner, a reversible A+++‑rated unit that cools and heats rooms of 10‑20 m². Priced at €413 on PC Componentes—€126 below its usual €539—the unit integrates with Xiaomi Home, Google Assistant and Amazon Alexa for voice or app control. It uses Inverter DC technology for smooth temperature regulation, can reach below 19 °C in 30 seconds when cooling and above 37 °C in one minute when heating, and includes a turbo mode for rapid response. The review notes its compact white‑mat finish, LED display that powers down at night, and a higher noise level than advertised.
