SwitchBot battery-powered smart fan rollout
Overview
In late July 2026, SwitchBot announced the Battery Circulator Fan 2 Pro, a portable tabletop fan with a rechargeable 3,600 mAh battery offering up to 70 hours of low‑speed operation and native Matter support for direct integration with major smart‑home ecosystems. Priced at $119.99 in North America, the device was also promoted in Europe, with coverage in Italy and the United Kingdom.
By early August, the fan became available in Germany, maintaining the same specifications and a €119.99 price tag. The same report also highlighted the launch of the Güde Ventilator V 18‑0, another dual‑power (mains or battery) portable fan sold on eBay for €39.99 after a 33 % discount. The German release expanded the European market presence of battery‑powered smart fans and introduced a lower‑priced alternative.
Overall, the snapshots trace the initial product launch and its rapid expansion across European markets, alongside the appearance of a competing portable fan offering similar flexibility at a lower price point.
