Levoit Launches Temperature-Sensing Smart Tower Fans
Levoit has launched two new tower fans in Australia, and both come with a trick that sets them apart from the dumb oscillating fans most of us grew up with: built-in temperature sensors that watch the room and adjust the airflow on their own. Announced on October 18, 2026, the 42-inch Classic Pro Smart Tower Fan and the 36-inch Classic Tower Fan pair powerful airflow with set-and-forget automation aimed squarely at bedrooms and living rooms.
Two sizes, one idea: the fan adjusts itself
The headline feature on both models is temperature-sensing technology. Integrated sensors detect changes in room temperature and automatically raise or lower the fan speed to match, so the breeze stays comfortable as the room warms up or cools down — no more waking up at 3 a.m. to fumble for the remote. On the 42-inch Classic Pro, the Advanced Sleep Mode takes this further by continuously tuning airflow to the room’s temperature through the night, while a Thermal Comfort Index translates sensor readings into intuitive fan-speed recommendations, reducing the need for constant manual tweaks.
Both fans deliver airflow speeds of up to 7.9 metres per second and run on brushless DC motors, which tend to be quieter and more energy-efficient than the AC motors in traditional fans. The 42-inch Classic Pro adds 90-degree wide-angle oscillation to spread air across a room. Both models offer four running modes — Normal, Turbo, Auto, and Advanced Sleep Mode — with 12 speed settings each.
Built for the bedroom
Noise is where these fans make their case for nighttime use. The 42-inch Classic Pro bottoms out at 25dB, and in Advanced Sleep Mode its display switches off after five seconds while selection tones are muted, so nothing glows or beeps in a dark room. The 36-inch Classic goes even quieter, dropping to 20dB at its lowest speed — a figure backed by Quiet Mark certification, the independent noise-reduction award program.
Control options differ between the two. The 42-inch Classic Pro can be run from its onboard panel, the included remote, or a smartphone app, making it the genuinely “smart” member of the pair for anyone who wants to adjust cooling from bed or build it into a bedtime routine. The 36-inch Classic keeps things simpler with an LED display and remote. Both include an adjustable timer from 1 to 12 hours.
Practical design gets attention too. Both fans have detachable parts for thorough cleaning — the 42-inch model comes apart at the back cover and blades, while the 36-inch version has a detachable back cover and filter. Anyone who has tried to dust the inside of a sealed tower fan will appreciate that.
Availability and pricing
Levoit has not announced pricing for either model. The launch is Australia-focused for now, with the company pointing buyers to its Australian channels, including its official online store and Amazon. Levoit’s products are also sold in Australia through retailers such as JB Hi-Fi and Harvey Norman. There is no word yet on a North American or European release.
“Comfort is not simply about having more airflow; it’s about having the right airflow for different moments throughout the day,” said Frank Cheng, APAC Regional Director at Levoit. “With these new tower fans, we’re bringing together powerful performance and temperature-responsive technology to help make everyday comfort more intuitive. We want to give consumers greater flexibility in how they manage their home environment, whether they’re relaxing, working or winding down for the night.”
Why temperature-sensing fans matter
Levoit, the smart-appliance brand under VeSync, built its name on air purifiers and humidifiers before expanding into fans and heaters. This launch continues a clear strategy: take an ordinary appliance, add just enough sensing and automation to remove daily friction, and keep the price within reach of mainstream buyers.
The temperature-sensing approach is part of a broader shift in home comfort. Air conditioners have long modulated output based on thermostats, but portable cooling has lagged behind — most fans still blow at whatever fixed speed you last set. Auto-adjusting fans close that gap in a small but meaningful way: a fan that ramps down as the room cools overnight saves energy and avoids the too-cold wake-up, while one that ramps up on a hot afternoon keeps a room livable without babysitting.
Levoit is not alone in this direction. Premium competitors like Dyson have offered auto modes tied to air-quality or temperature sensing for years, typically at several times the price. Levoit’s play is to bring the same idea to the mid-range tower fan segment, where most models still top out at a remote control and a timer.
The smart home angle
The 42-inch Classic Pro’s smartphone app control is the feature that earns the “Smart” in its name and gives it a foothold in connected-home setups. App-based scheduling and remote control mean the fan can be folded into daily routines — cooling the bedroom before bedtime, for instance — without walking over to it. Levoit has not announced voice-assistant or smart-home-platform integrations for these models, so buyers hoping for Alexa, Google Home, or Apple Home tie-ins will want to check the specs before assuming.
What to watch
The open questions are price and geography. Levoit sells heavily in North America, where its purifiers and humidifiers are fixtures on Amazon bestseller lists, so an Australian debut may well be a prelude to a wider rollout. If the company can land these fans at its usual aggressive pricing, the combination of temperature-sensing automation, sub-25dB sleep modes, and app control could make the Classic Pro a strong pick for anyone whose current fan strategy is “set it to medium and hope.”
For now, Australian shoppers get first look. Everyone else will have to watch Levoit’s announcements — and hope the temperature-sensing trend keeps spreading to the rest of the lineup.
