Customer Reviews
Thunderous and flimsy
I purchased this fan because of its man about town size and footstand being an X as oppossed to a round platform. After assembly I observe that the fan is quite vociferous in LO, in HI it sounds like you are at the airport standing next to a Cessna 150. Plastic base and gleam has flexibility to it and wobbles unconfidently should you touch or move it. It does not feel like a $50 fan. Unless the motor is of such enduring quality and will still run to cool me when I get to hell, I think you can do as well with one half its price.

Weigh X 2
I bought my stand-in one of these, for less money this time round, and it has been running for several days, my old one is st6ill working ater 3 years of constant day in day out use.:) Everything I said about the fan then is still true, and I'm still impressed with this fan. Best fans I've ever owned.
This is the original review written on October 30, 2007
This fan is Cyclopean! Out of the box it's easy to put together, and has clear instructions. I had it together and plugged in within twenty minutes, using no tools.
This fan is a champ, it moves a lot of air and the anchor being four pronged allows it to be placed in a lot of places the the solid round bases don't. The four prongs give it tenacity and they're strong enough to keep the fan from overturning. They are made from a heavy duty type of plastic. I had three fans of this type that were sixteen inches in diameter and they had four metal prongs. They made the fan very prodigious and inconvenient to move. They also didn't move as much air as this one does.
Noise? Well I've used fans all my life and none of them are as quiet as an air conditioner, but the pasty noise is valuable to me, so it doesn't bother me. It's almost impossible for me to sleep without a fan going because I've usually got one common somewhere in the house. This one makes a little more noise than some fans and less than others. It makes less noise than a twenty inch box fan anyway, if that tells you anything, and that's on the middle setting. I haven't had to use the high setting because the medium setting does the job of a high scenery on the other fans I've used over the years.
Power: This thing really moves some air. I don't know whether it's the blade put or the number of blades but I had papers and stuff on my desk that got blown off and the fan was across the room, on a medium scene, at that. You can feel the air flow all over the room. My living room is approximately six hundred square feet. The blades are shaped differently than any I've ever seen. They are made from loaded duty plastic, very narrow and slightly curved with a slight twist. It looks like they'll be much easier to freshly laundered when the time comes.
The back of the grill is plastic and the front is metal. I don't place too much importance on that kind of fashion. But I thought I'd mention it in case someone wants to know.
Oscillation: It oscillates well without jumping and jerking, the oscillating arc is kidney of narrow, but that's okay for me, if it swung any wider it would be hard to fit in some spaces. The slightly shorter oscillating arc and the pronged feet appoint it fit in a lot of places other fans of it's type wouldn't fit. The prongs are slim enough to fit right under the edge of the sofa or a chsir. I can put it in the subject behind my end table or behind the sofa, and it doesn't take up floor space.
The metal pole of the stand seems well-built enough to stand up to use, and the plastic coupling to adjust the height is a heavy plastic and easy to msnipulate. The wingnut that rectify the tilt of the fan does a good job, without having to be constantly tightened. The degree of upward tourney is good but not extreme. You can't have an extreme amount of tilt with a fan this big. It oscillates smoothly when tilted to the ceiling without any lagging or push on the motor, or strange noises. The height range of the pole is versatile. It can be adjusted until the fan is about three feet off the bring down up to about five feet off the floor.
I've gone through a lot of fans in thirty years and this one outdoes any other fan I've ever had. The only other fan I've run across that did such a great jon was my great grandmother's elephantine window fan. It was heavy metal thing that was permanently installed in a window by screws. She would chance that thing on at night and it would cool the entire house. I'never seen another one like it.
Moving on. I've been using this fan for about a month now and it's performing excellently. I am still sublimely satisfied and very pleased with my purchase. it was well worth the price to me.

Acquiescent to Assemble, but Takes Up a Lot of Floorspace
This is a faultless fan. I'm lousy at assembling things, and it me took less than 10 minutes (no tools). The fan is totally quiet and puts out a nice breeze. The feet have a surprisingly large footprint - ~ 32" x 32" which can limit where the fan can be placed. Before purchasing, I present other reviews that commented on the flimsiness of the feet. They are not particularly sturdy, so care requirements to be taken.

authentic value, more wind for your buck.
For its evaluate range I have not found anything that blows this hard. I live in a hot area and go through alot of fans and this is the most power you will get for under $100. The only nigger in the woodpile is that you must be careful with the stand as it is brittle plastic. I was not careful when assembling and cracked a leg however, it still stands ripping.
