I can't understand why wall fans are so difficult (impossible?) to find in stores. If you need a fan in a cramped space, or just want to use your desk/shelf space for something else, you need a wall-mount fan. I have a small office, and this 12" fan was just what the doctor ordered. The person who wrote the fan was "wobbly" probably did not mount it properly. You need to read the directions for mounting, because the proper method for mounting is not intuitive. However, once mounted properly it is unusually solid and stable. I'm not sure if I would go so far as the reviewer who wrote that, once the fan was properly mounted, you could hang from it, but that's not far from the truth. This fan has an extra-long cord so you probably won't need to use an extension cord. I like the fact that it has a pull-string to instantly turn off the fan, regardless what speed it is on. It is reasonably quiet and very powerful for its size. I rarely use it on anything more than the lowest speed.

I have to disagree with the wobbly fan person. If you mount it correctly, per the instructions that are included, you can hang from the fan if you wanted to. Now I have two of these in my sun room and they are out of the way mounted on the wall and much more powerful than those cheap fans you get at home depot. Pull string lets me change the fan speed with a short tug I recommend these to anybody with a home garden.

I could only find two fans this size for wall mounting. Unfortunately, it is wobbly. On low speed it is not too bad. But at mid or high speed it is very noisy, rattling against the wall. I think the center axle is slightly off-center, but it could be the plastic blades that screw onto it. I am planning to call the manufacturer to see if they will exchange it.

I purchased this fan to get rid of all of the cords my wife had running across the sinks in the bathroom. After showering she'd overheat while doing her hair/makeup in the steamy bathroom. I opted with mounting it on the wall between the sink basins and running the wiring through the wall and into the attic to connect. Yes, the fan is not whisper quiet, but is no louder than most and a great deal quieter than many. You can tilt it to some degree and it is reasonably attractive as oscillating fans go. My wife leaves it on almost continually and I've had no issues with vibrations.

Since it is hard to find a small fan that mounts to a wall, we decided to go with this one. It looks good but on high speed, it is extremely noisy. We can hear it vibrate through the wall and into other bedrooms and across a hall.

I purchased two of the Air King 12 Oscillating Wall Mount Fans and proceeded to assemble them. Plastic rear guard- Metal front guard that fits loosly into plastic clips and rattles. Plastic knobs to hold fan on, easy to cross thread, 1 unit came with switch in wrong position- difficult to change and risk breaking. Biggest problem: Excessive Vibration at all speeds and excessive rattling. BOTH VERY NOISY. I'm sending them back and I guess it'll cost me postage and a possible 15% restocking fee.

I've had this fan for a couple of years now and have no complaints. It was easy to install, works as advertised, and is pretty quiet. It is installed in our basement gym and gets used about twice a week on average.

This fan is Wallmart quality junk, the word commercial should not be in the name of this fan. I wanted to return it but it was not at all easy to figure out how to return it and when I did figure it out there is only a 21 day return policy.

i mounted this as per instructions and it hit a frequency that rattled the whole house on high, its a loud hum on low , it makes this fan only usable in the day, i believe its off-center a bit
