| Review | Rating | Last Updated | not a fan for those who enjoy quality fans
I am a college student and these fans are cheap and at Target, so most of my friends have at least one. The downside is, they are horrible, cheaply made, and downright dangerous. The base is too small for the fan, making it extremely top heavy. As a result, if the fan is on an uneven surface or ledge, like a windowsill, any jolt sends it toppling to the floor, or your head, really whatever is underneath. Moreover, it is loud, blows at very limited angles, and really doesn't move that much air. Even the cord is short.
<br />
<br />Seriously, don't buy this fan. | 1 | 755 days ago | A great buy!
I use fans mainly for the white noise they produce (I live right next to a construction site and either wake up the minute they start or have my fan!) I've been very happy with my Honeywell fan--it's compact enough to not take up a lot of space in my bedroom, but very strong for the size. One of the few downsides I could see if that if you like your fans to be absolutely silent, this one does generate some noise (for me, that's a plus!) I've had this fan before and it's lasted for years with some heavy use. Would recommend! | 4 | 755 days ago | Powerful, but believe the reviews that say LOUD!
I've read the reviews that this was a loud little fan. I wanted it to quietly circulate the heat from the fireplace around the family room and away from the underside of he mantle. So I figure; it's small, how loud can it be? Well I just received it and yes, it is very LOUD for such a small fan, even on it's lowest setting. But it does move quite a bit of air for such a small fan. If, like many people, you want to use it for 'white noise' during those hot summer nights with the windows open, this is the fan for you. If you want quiet, go fo the Lasko 3525 (I also have one of them) but it's only two speed, doesn't move nearly the same amount of air, and it's more expensive. | 4 | 755 days ago | Fan
couldn't find a fan in any local retail store because it is winter. not only did I find it on Amazon, but it was shipped and delivered in 2 days. great product and quick service | 5 | 755 days ago | SUPER FAN !!!!
I have had this fan for 7 years, going on 8 ... This little fan has been going strong ever since with the exception of one summer two years back Oddly enough it went through a phase where I thought it was going to die and had to jump start it with a pencil... but this summer it has had no problems. OCCASIONALY there is a louder noise that would be what some of the other reviews are talking about, but it goes away.
<br />
<br /> I have never had it tip from being top heavy and have propped it purposfully on uneven tables to drastically change the position with out a problem.
<br /> The lowest setting is still very effective and I just can't stress enough how long this fan has lasted... it runs almost constantly and is still going strong... in fact it's cooling me off at the computer right now! | 5 | 740 days ago | Excellent for its purpose
For ten bucks, I can't imagine anyone finding a better fan. It is loud at highest setting. At its lowest setting, it's still pretty effective, and the noise level is reasonable.
<br />
<br />I disagree about this fan being unstable. If it sits completely on any surface, it's quite stable. If someone tries to balance it on a window ledge that is only half the width of the fan base, well, duh-- it's going to fall.
<br />
<br />The big complaint I have is that it is wall mountable, but only in the horizontal position. Because this fan only pivots up and down (not side to side), it means that the location on the wall must be directly opposite from where you want the fan to blow and you can only aim it from floor to ceiling in that one direction.
<br />
<br />If it accommodated a vertical mount, that would turn the fan "sideways" on the wall, which would let you angle it toward any part of the room.
<br /> | 5 | 740 days ago | Loud loud LOUD!
I bought this fan for my dorm room before starting my first year of college, mainly because it was so cheap (a fifth of the price of a quality Vornado fan). However, this little fan made such noise (even on its lowest setting) that I regretted not spending more money for a better-made machine. I regularly had to sit down and attempt to clean out the layer of dust it accumulated on its blades - I've never seen dust like that on another fan.
<br />
<br />Bottom line, it's a cheap piece, don't bother unless you're already deaf. | 2 | 740 days ago | Powerful and Durable
I've had this fan for about 2 1/2 years now. After spending some white noise time in the bedroom it is now downstairs in my basement. We have frequent dinner parties and the like and the basement is the smoking room. Since we never use the fireplace in the basement I have the fan sitting on a small table blowing straight up into the flue. On the medium setting, which is barely audible from the lounger and only if there's nothing else on, it will clear the smoke out of the air in about 30 minutes acting strictly as an exhaust fan through the chimney.
<br />
<br />This thing will blow some air, no doubt about it. It is not quiet and makes for a great white noise fan but I've been using it as an exhaust fan for about 1 1/2 years. The last party we threw was for St. Patrick's Day. I forgot to turn it off afterward and it's been running ever since. I'm letting it run out of curiosity just to see how long it will go. I have not turned it off in four months and it's still running like a clock. | 4 | 740 days ago | BIG performance in a small package!
This little thing is great if you want a high powered fan that takes up a little bit of space. It's cute, powerful, and well worth the $10 that I paid! The only thing is that it is a tad loud, but don't let that stop you from buying! | 4 | 740 days ago |
