This Wireless Half-Fan, Half-Lamp Saved My Hot Office This Summer
That’s what I was interested in the brand’s latest wireless standing fan, which offers even more features and stands several feet high so you can put it anywhere in the room. The SwitchBot Standing Circulating Fan ($130) quickly became a staple in my office, offering not only app-controlled, customizable cooling for my hot summer (all the better when I can’t open a window during wildfire smoke), but also a built-in lamp for extra illumination. After charging up, the fan can last for a full day of operation anywhere I put it, and on lower settings it’s incredibly quiet.
