Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

With its slim, attractive, tower design, this oscillating fan offers wide-breeze cooling to any room in the house while taking up very little floor space--great for high-traffic areas like the kitchen, living room, or TV room. The unit comes equipped with a powerful three-speed motor for low, medium, and high settings, plus a 30-inch-diameter fan blade that efficiently circulates air. Use the fan for cooling relief on a hot summer day or to help dissipate odors in the kitchen when cooking. Other highlights include simple push-button controls, a recessed carrying handle for comfortably transporting the unit from room to room, and an easy-to-clean design. The tower fan, which assembles in minutes, measures approximately 9-1/2 by 9-1/2 by 31 inches and carries a one-year limited warranty.

5.0 out of 5 stars Space saving and quieter than I expected, October 2, 2007

The fan comes in three pieces and a couple screws. The base is made up of two semicircles that snap together around the power cord which comes out of the bottom of the fan unit. The base screws into the fan to hold everything together. It does wobble a bit when you touch it, but it stands up just fine on its own.

There's an indentation on the back of the fan near the top which acts as a handle. One big plus is how easy this fan is to move and reposition compared to a regular top-heavy floor-standing fan.

To me, it sounds about as loud as any normal oscillating fan, but it probably moves a little less air. It's also pretty short compared to a tall oscillating fan. If you place it against a door, it comes up to about the height of the door knob (see my picture in the gallery above). It rotates less than 90 degrees, probably about 70 degrees.

When I first started up the fan, there was a slight rattling noise, but it went away after the fan picked up speed and now I don't hear it at all anymore. Aside from that, I haven't heard any other odd noises from this fan.

I've been using this fan for about 10 hours a day for the past few weeks without problems. I usually keep it on the lowest speed, oscillating all night, positioned about 3 feet away from the foot of my bed. It pushes enough air to actually make me cold after just a few minutes.

Overall, it's a great buy, although I thought it was a bit pricey.

Edit: I've had this fan for over a year now, and it's still going strong. Every once in a while, I'll get a light rattling noise from it that goes away on its own after a few minutes.

3.0 out of 5 stars good for a bedroom, not for a living room, July 2, 2007

By	KLMinMN "KLMinMN" (Hugo, MN United States) - See all my reviews

It's easy to assemble & runs very quietly. The air current is strong enough to keep a bedroom cool, but I didn't feel any air movement at all when I tried it in the living room. For smaller rooms it's okay, but I wouldn't buy it if you were trying to cool a larger area.

5.0 out of 5 stars GREAT FAN, August 15, 2007

By	John Northcutt (GEORGIA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

I LIKED THIS FAN SO MUCH THAT I HAVE FIVE OF THEM. I HAVE ONE IN MY OFFICE, TWO AT MY LAKE CABIN AND TWO AT HOME. WELL WORTH THE MONEY AND VERY QUIET. TO ASSEMBLE, YOU ONLY NEED TO SCREW IN THREE SCREWS.
