So many great reviews misled me [Posted on 2008-07-10]
So many great reviews saying the fan "pushed a lot of air" led me to buy two. The first broke during assembly - all the little plastic "flanges" that are supposed to connect the fan to the base broke off; I'm a frail arthritic old lady; anything I can break is very flimsy. Thankfully, there was also one screw to attach the two pieces, so now I have a somewhat unstable, but useable fan. When I plugged it in, I was shocked. It pushed less air than a $12.95 20" box fan. Yes, it does oscillate a full 180 degrees. Sitting 15' directly in front of it, I can barely feel the air move about the time the fan completes the second 90 degree arc of it's oscillation.
It is quiet. So is a palm frond waved gently thru the air. They create about the same breeze.
Needless to say, the second fan was returned unopened. Since the first is broken, I can't return it.
Great fan, but the base needs a redesign [Posted on 2008-07-13]
This is a very nice fan that runs day and night in my home office with no mechanical issues whatsoever. I've owned it for a little under a year or so and it really is a workhorse.
However, the design for the base connectors is a joke. There are six little plastic flange-like clips that interlock with the base at the center. But there is no way to lock them permanently into place and if you move the fan, the base will often slip right off and then you're forced to flip it over and fasten the thing on again. After a few moves in my office, two of the clips broke off and now it's very difficult to get things seated securely again. This is an absolutely boneheaded design, in my opinion. It detracts from an otherwise quality product.
But aside from this poor bit of engineering, I'm still inclined to give kudos where appropriate. Especially for the price, this is a good fan.
Good but not what i expected [Posted on 2008-07-24]
good silent and stylish fan but only problem is its not powerful enough..Dont expect it to cool anything other than your bed ( that is if u keep it near your bed)
Nothing special ... [Posted on 2008-08-11]
I ordered it and had high expectations after reading the other reviews. I have the desktop version and it is insane! The low speed is way too much wind for me usually
This one however is nothing special. And is actually a bit short which is annoying, i have to keep it on a chair to have it at a good level.
It does blow wind, but i expected better performance.
We went back and bought a second one. [Posted on 2008-09-05]
We bought this at Home Depot for 49 bucks.
Both the wife and I loved it so much we went back and got another one so we dont have to keep carrying it back and forth from the living room to the bedroom at night when we go to bed.
I never thought I would use the remote, but I had to have a surgery on my foot and am on crutches for the next 5 or 6 weeks at the least, and has is it ever a life saver.!!!!
I can get all my pillows into place, jack up my leg and still adjust the fan from my jacked up command center.!!!
At night or when the noise level is low the breeze feature is a bit annoying, but otherwise nice.
I have not had oppertunity to use the timer or the temp setting as it has still be hot enough that you either need the fan or you dont. So I look forward to those features in the next month or so.
This fan is very quiet and its lowest setting is very nice and look forward to its use this winter for moving heat from the dining room (where we have the gas heater) into other areas of the house.
I dont think you will regret buying this fan, but its out there to be had for a lot less than they are asking here.
We loveboth of ours.
