Powerful Tower Fan
We would like to get a powerful tower fan for our garage office, Philips CX5550 didn't let us down. It's silent, sleek and oscillates very wide. It's definitely good money's worth. Very happy and highly recommended.

The Philips 5500 Series Tower Fan is a slim, easy-to-place cooling option for bedrooms, living rooms and home offices. It suits households wanting broad airflow, simple remote operation and overnight timer control. Key strengths are its 80° oscillation, compact footprint and portability.

Things to consider
It covers everyday cooling needs well, but it is less suited to buyers wanting app-based smart controls, premium air purification features or highly specialised airflow modes.
Bedroom quietness score
8/10 - low operating noise of 24-44 dBA makes it well suited to most bedrooms.
Room size suitability
Best for small to large rooms where wide oscillation helps distribute airflow across shared spaces.
Portability rating
8/10 - at 4.9 kg with a slim shape, it is easy to reposition around the home.
Ease of assembly
Easy - tower fan format is generally straightforward to set up and place.
Key benefits
- 80° Oscillation: Helps spread airflow across a wider area so cooling reaches more of the room.
- Remote Control: Lets you change settings from the bed, couch or desk without walking over to the fan.
- 1-9 Hour Timer: Makes it easier to schedule cooling for sleep time or automatic shut-off later in the day.
- Slim Tower Design: Fits neatly into tighter spaces where a bulkier pedestal fan may be less practical.
- 100.6 cm Height: Positions airflow higher than many compact fans for better whole-room circulation.
- 4.9 kg Weight: Light enough to move between rooms when cooling needs change.
- 5 Speed Settings: Gives you flexibility to choose gentler airflow or stronger cooling depending on the weather.
- 24-44 dBA Noise Level: Supports quieter day-to-night use, including bedrooms and work spaces.
Q: Is this tower fan quiet enough for bedroom use overnight?
A: Yes. Philips CX5550/01 is listed at 24 to 44 dBa, so lower settings are better suited to night use than the highest speed. It still moves air rather than running silently, so noise will be more noticeable when stronger airflow is selected.
Q: Does it cool the whole room or just nearby?
A: It is designed to circulate air across more of the room, not just straight ahead. Philips CX5550/01 combines 80 degrees of oscillation with a maximum airflow of 2370 m3/h, but it is a fan, not a refrigerated air conditioner, so it moves existing room air.
Q: Can I set the Philips fan to turn off overnight?
A: Yes. Philips CX5550/01 has a timer that can be set from 1 to 9 hours, so it can switch off after you fall asleep or at a set point later in the night. It suits scheduled use, but it does not add app-based routines or smart automation.
Q: Will this fan fit beside a bed, sofa or desk?
A: Yes, in most cases. Philips CX5550/01 has a slim base footprint at 158mm wide and 172mm deep, so it suits tighter floor spaces than bulkier fan styles. It is still a full-height tower, so allow room for the 1060mm body and airflow around it.
Q: How easy is the CX5550/01 to move between rooms?
A: Philips CX5550/01 weighs 4.9kg, so it is light enough to carry from a bedroom to a living area when needed. It is easier to shift than heavier floor appliances, but it is still a full-height tower fan rather than a compact desktop model.
Q: Does this Philips tower fan have app or voice control?
A: No. Philips CX5550/01 uses a handheld remote for control across the room, rather than app or voice assistant control. That keeps operation simple, but buyers wanting phone-based scheduling or smart-home integration will need a different type of fan.
