In the commotion of all the air conditioners and futuristic fans, the solid standing fan is sometimes snowed under. That’s a shame, because it is and remains an incredibly handy device. This Philips Standing Fan 2000 Series proves this, which combines powerful cooling with nice looks. Reason enough to ask the Review.nl Test Panel to try it out extensively.

The Philips Standing Fan 2000 Series is basically exactly what the name suggests: a fan that stands on a high leg. Because of that extra height, it has a greater range than small fans on a foot. In fact, the 2000 Series has a range of up to thirty meters. This way, you have a nice cool breeze throughout your home – very pleasant during a hot summer.
But that’s actually doing the fan a disservice. The 2000 Series is a real 2-in-1. You can just as easily shorten the stand to make it a table fan, which you can place on your desk or coffee table. The fan is also designed in such a way that it fits seamlessly into any interior.
And you don’t have to worry about it bothering you. The blades are made according to SilentWings technology. This is a technique based on the wings of an owl, which can fly silently through the air. The blades are therefore 30 percent quieter than a regular fan.
Add to that the silent mode, which keeps the fan running even softer for half an hour, and you have the ideal bedroom companion. You can also choose one of the three normal settings, and there is a special mode that simulates a natural breeze, so it almost feels like you are sitting on the beach.
Furthermore, a handy timer has been built into the 2000 Series. This allows you to plan up to twelve hours in advance, and you don’t have to worry about the fan staying on all day. This also saves on the energy bill, which is already a lot more pleasant due to the low energy consumption of the fan.
So much for the facts. How did the Review.nl Test Panel Philips Standing Fan 2000 Series experienced?
First impression
Straight out of the box, it is clear to the test panel that the 2000 Series is a fine device. “The fan arrives in parts in a box, putting it together is done quickly,” says one tester. “With the clear manual that comes with it, it is done in no time.”
The eye also wants something, and the 2000 Series delivers on that. “The design is robust and looks high-quality,” says one tester. “In addition, it stands still and does not wobble at all.” A fellow reviewer agrees: “The base on which it stands is nice and heavy, which is very nice. It is a very solid and sturdy fan.”
Use
Looking at the actual use, the test panel is also full of praise. “The three settings are well-adjusted,” says one of them. “You can easily switch between the different settings, and the third setting is really powerful.” This reviewer has come up with an extra clever setup: “We tested it in a situation where the air conditioning cools the upper floor and the fan blows the air into the two bedrooms. That works very well.”
The special mode that simulates a real breeze also met with much approval: “In the natural wind mode, different speeds are applied alternately. That is pleasantly refreshing, literally and figuratively.”
And then there’s the silent mode, which the panelists also used a lot. “The silent sleep mode lives up to its name: it’s really quiet and still gives a fresh breeze.” Another tester agrees wholeheartedly: “The silent sleep mode for the bedroom is really ideal. Of course you can still hear it, but that’s minimal.”
This is largely due to the special SilentWings blades. “We were pleasantly surprised by the silent wings,” said one tester. “As a result, it makes much less noise than a regular fan.”
Extra’s
The extra built-in options are also mentioned several times by the panel. One of them is the child lock. “If you, like us, have small children, you will be happy about the child lock that you can activate,” says one of the testers. “This keeps the settings, even if the children are at the controls.”
The test panel also made extensive use of the timer function. “That’s a handy extra,” says one reviewer, “which automatically switches the fan off after the set time. That saves energy and is convenient.”
The adjustable height was also appreciated. “A clever feature is that you can leave out the spacer,” explains one reviewer. “This allows the fan to be lower, which is handy for use in different rooms.”
And then there’s the automatic rotation mode, another nice option for the panel: “The fan can rotate, which makes it able to cool a large space effectively. That works perfectly, both for large and small rooms.”
