Product Description

Amazon.com Review

Tall, slim, and shapely, this 55-watt fan uses little space but cools a room easily with high-performance centrifugal blades invisible inside the fan's gleaming, hard-plastic housing. Electronic controls, available either on the fan's control panel or the remote control, provide exceptional versatility. There are three speeds, an on/off button for the wide-range oscillation function, a timer, and two special modes (breeze, which varies speeds, and sleep, which gradually slows the fan down). The timer works in half-hour increments up to 7-1/2 hours. Combined with the breeze and sleep modes, the timer will work wonders. You can program the fan to gradually slow down over a four-hour period, for example. The fan stands 40 inches high and measures 6-1/2 inches square. It assembles easily with eight screws (included) and carries a five-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack

Product Description

Why take up valuable table space with a fan when you can tuck this tall, slender model just about anywhere? With the convenience of a timer and a remote you'll be able to bask in its cool breeze without having to move a muscle.

5.0 out of 5 stars Great air circulation!, October 10, 2001

This fan offers great air circulation and takes up very little floor space! It keeps the room quite comfortable for sleeping ( & breathing!). I use it in my bedroom to make it more comfortable when it is stuffy but not warm enough for the A/C, when it is the warmer season. When it is cool or cold outdoors I find I use it quite often, to keep the air circulating and more comfortable to counteract the drying gas heat. The remote control is great! I do not have to get out of bed to adjust the fan to my comfort. This is the second fan of this exact type I have purchased. I have the second one in the other bedroom. I also have the model without the remote control in my foyer, it keeps the bathroom (where there is no window) delightful! You cannot go wrong with this fan, for sure.

1.0 out of 5 stars Great start, bad ending, March 19, 2003

By

This review is from: Bionaire BTF40RC Tower Fan with Remote Control (Kitchen)

I bought two of these fans from a major electronics/appliance retailer. I liked the look and I liked the features of this model. For months I was very pleased with these fans. Then after six months of faultless operation they both died within two weeks of each other. It was like they had a "death chip" in their controller or something. After reading the reports of similar sudden fan extinction from other owners of this fan I can say that I will never trust this manufacturer with my hard earned cash again.

5.0 out of 5 stars Nice Fan !, August 2, 2002

This is my second tower fan. The first fan i bought was from [another vendor], it seems to be the same fan, except the [other] fan has a built-in compartment for the remote... What a deal! We use this fan to help distribute the cool air from the A/C. The fan is quiet and with its tower design it doesn't get in the way. We had a regular fan and it was loud and always got in the way. The 3 speeds is satisfactory as is the oscillation feature. We rarely use the timer mode or the the breeze mode. The remote control is a nice feature too, but now i have 5 remotes on my table! It was easy to put together with a screwdriver. Everyone that sees this fan wants one... I would definitely recommend this product!
