How to choose
Match fan size to the space
The picks here come in 24-inch, 52-inch and 56-inch spans: the Orison is 24 inches, the reiga and Sofucor are 52 inches, and the Autoday is 56 inches. The Sofucor suits indoor rooms from 12 ft by 12 ft to 20 ft by 20 ft and covered outdoor spaces. Measure the space first, then match the span to it, since a fan sized for the space moves air across the whole area.
WiFi, app, remote and voice
WiFi control means changing speed, light and direction from a phone instead of walking to a switch. All four picks offer app control plus a remote: the reiga and Sofucor also answer Alexa voice commands, and the Sofucor also answers Google voice commands. Check that the app covers the settings you use daily, such as dimming and reverse airflow, before buying.
Reversible airflow and outdoor ratings
Reversible airflow lets a fan push air down in summer and pull it up in winter to recirculate warm air near the ceiling. All four picks reverse airflow. Outdoor ratings differ: the Autoday carries an IP66 rating for fully exposed areas, while the reiga carries an IP44 rating for covered outdoor patios and porches.
FAQ

What fan size do I need for my patio?

All four picks reverse airflow, so they can push air down in summer and recirculate warm air near the ceiling in winter. The Autoday also has a Sleep Wind Mode that lowers speed every 30 minutes.
