I can't believe the people making or testing these products have kids or even sleep at night. They must be vampires. We recently replaced Vornado fans . The older model had a basic mechanical switch -- silent, tactile , works 100% of the time, works in the dark. The new model has a capacitive touch interface that only works 30% of the time when touched. Impossible to operate in the dark. The worst part is the deafening shriek whenever you adjust the fan .
They should have advertised on the box: wakes your kids and your wife at 2am!
Yeah I can't imagine a touch interface for fans. God. Atleast the ones which have a proper switch in your house, and then also let you control it with some random app are slightly better.
