Amazon Basics Oscillating Dual Blade Standing Pedestal Fan with Remote - Quiet DC Motor, 16-Inch

LOVE IT!

Love this fan. It has multiple setting and its a lot quieter then other fans.

Its a nice fan, and like most fans, expects you to plug it into AC. But this one has a DC motor according to the box, which it does. So Ive bought it to run the fan on DC because thats what I want to do. Should you want to do the same, the fan runs on 24Vdc, no fancy wiring needed. Pop out the ac power supply and put in whatever you want, in my case, I embedded a laptop charger that accepts 10-16v and makes 20v. I lose some speed with 20v but you dont have to if you want to source a different power supply. Well that isnt exactly the solution,the oscillator motor is AC. You can probably make something work, but Ive just left mine without and thats okay.

My husband has to have a fan on at night. I is like a furnace when he sleeps. I have misophonia and hyperaccusis; this fan does not bother me at all. I love that it has a remote because my husband is injured and it allows him to adjust it without having to get up or call for someone.

The Amazon Basics Oscillating Dual Blade Standing Pedestal Fan was very easy to assemble - the only tool required is a screw driver to unscrew the fixing ring. The fan is whisper quiet. I like the idea of having the dual blade. I have found that the dual blade does not necessarily spread the force of the air over a wide area; instead it feels like the dual blade buffers the thrust of the wind. This fan is a very nice fan and worth the cost.

Let Me start by saying that The fan is perfect for the amount it’s currently selling ($55.99) not a penny more. The overall quality is acceptable. I was very curious about this fan noting that the price was fairly good for DC technology. so I got to spend a few hours with it and there are a few things that any consumer who might be interested in it need to know. First of all, the fan is very simple to assemble. You don’t need instructions to put it together. It took me 6 minutes to have it ready and operating. The only tool you’ll need is a Philip screwdriver to unscrew and then re-screw again a security screw that keeps the lock on the guard ring securing the rear guard to it in its place. When I put it together and tested it, it had an annoying rattling but I took care of it. More on this later. Airflow delivery is fair, not as great as those good old fans from the 1980s. It’s acceptable. So don’t expect to get a lot of airflow from this fan. The fan produces a pleasant white noise when set at any speed above the default 18 level which gives the impression of blowing a lot of air. But is not. It’s an illusion. It’s all in the blades that are designed to give the impression of an abundance of air. The double blades is just a marketing gimmick. Having 7” blades in front of the main blades does not improve or increase airflow. As for the levels or speed, this fan is advertised as having 24 variable “speeds” which in reality is more like 11 actual speed/levels. Speeds 1 and 2 are the same thing no increasement or difference at all. Same thing with 3 and 4, which can be considered speed 2., At level 5, You see a third “speed”., level 7 and 8? yep, same thing again 2 levels one speed. It’s not until level 9 that You will notice a significant increase in airflow from the first 8 levels. 9 and 10; speed 4., 11 and 12; speed 5., 13 and 14; speed 6., 15 to 17; speed 7., The Default level 18 has a small increase over 17, 18-19 which would be speed 8., 20 to 22 is speed 9., level 23 another small increase and then level 24 has the maximum airflow. The speed increases are very minimal at the low levels and then it jumps where You can hear (and feel) the difference. The three wind modes it’s more like two modes. The Normal model is basically that, operating at any normal speed., The Eco mode, variates the speeds between levels and recycles it again and The Baby (sleep) mode, slowly increases then slowly decrease to level 3 and stays at level 1 after one hour and remains at level 1 until You change it or turn it off. This could be considered a design flaw but I did notice that it lacks response time between different speeds and modes, the fan changes visually but not operationally, meaning if I change it from say level 1 to 18, it will still operate at level 1 for a few seconds even though The displays shows it’s at speed 18 or whatever speed. But it’s to be expected, this is NOT a high end product. My unit had this vibrating rattle noise whenever it slowed down caused by the guard ring lock as it’s very loose when engage. So I took it off and wrap some clear tape and insert it back and no more ratter when it’s on Eco or “Baby” mode. I’ve thing to think if You have that problem. One thing that really bothers Me is the fact that the fan WILL NOT save previous settings when it’s turn off. If you have a preference speed and oscillation choice set, You will have to set it all again each time You turn it back on. I wish there was a way to hack it so it would save previous settings whenever is turn off and back on. The remote control is a bit tricky. You have to press the buttons hard and be aiming directly into the display screen on the fan stand to make it work. It requires 2 AAA batteries, which are not included. The Materials are AS (Acrylonitrile Styrene) plastic for both blades which are very lightweight, thin and extremely fragile., the body is lightweight ABS (Acrylonitrile Butadiene Styrene) plastic for everything else except the guards, those are thin lightweight aluminum. Durability is one thing that no one knows. But it has electronic components in it and when those fails, it’s either repair it or toss it. So who knows how long will it last. The thing I wish I could do is, hack it to keep it from forgetting the previous settings when it’s turn Off and then back On.

The DC pedestal fan is quiet. It took 10 minutes to assemble. It has a small foot print but it puts out a decent about of air. It has a few different settings such as steady air mode, nature air mode where it fluctuates and also sleep mode. Overall satisfied for the price.

Easy to put together- didn’t bother to read the instructions as it was intuitive enough I didn’t need them. (Am a 70+ year old woman and was able to do it by myself). Love, love the remote control. Works well and I can turn it off before getting out of bed so I won’t “freeze” when I first get up. Lots of speed options and quite operation.

Fan does what is advertised. Remote control is a nice touch, and the fan has many settings. For the money, spend a few more bucks and get this fan, instead of the cheap route. The fan is also well built and sturdy.

I love this fan! It has a beautiful modern design, easy to assemble and it’s the quietest fan I’ve ever owned. It has multiple features and the remote control is wonderful. This is definitely a great buy!
