> 3 dayThe front and rear grill is not perfect matching. It spends me time to assemble them. It push hard to clip them. I am a little worry about how to disassemble them if I want to wash the blade.

> 3 dayOn high speed the whole fan vibrates and makes the motor cover vibrate..Loudly. I wedged in some cardboard between the fan cage and motor to stop the noise. Its a $35 fan.

> 3 dayI bought this fan to run in my bedroom. It does the job and I’m happy with it but a few things to note: -The swivel is mechanical and does not turn on or off with the remote. - The fan had 3 speeds and there isn’t much variation between the 3. -While the fan is not loud, it is not silent. There is a noticeable drone while running. Which is fine for me but I figured people should know. -You have to put it together yourself. Not a problem, just make sure things are snug or it’s gonna rattle. The hardest part was putting on the fan guard. I fought with that the most, since it’s a snap in and uses the pressure to stay on the fan. Other than that, it does it’s job for the price!

> 3 dayI’m really happy with my purchase! The packaging was easy to open and the assembly directions were clear. It was pretty easy to put together. The metal cage around the fan blade comes in two circular halves and requires pushing the two together until they snap in. One of the circular halves was a little bent/distorted from shipping which made this a challenge, but it was possible to do with a little effort. I’ve caught my finger in the fan blade at full speed and survived to tell the tale with no injury so I’m pleased with its safety. The four cats in my house have yet to knock the fan over which is a testimony to how sturdy it is while still being light enough for me to easily move it around. The fan at the top bends down and up easily and the height can be adjusted although it’s kind of a pain to do. It comes with a remote to change the fan level but you cant change the setting from rotating 180 degrees to a still position from the remote. You have to physically pull/push a plug at the top of the fan. It’s not silent but it’s quiet enough to sleep with it on. Overall pretty good.

> 3 dayIt does its job, but its too loud on the highest setting. I keep it around the middle setting, and its fine.

> 3 dayI had this fan for one year, and last week - interesting that I got reminded to review it a week after this happened - the ball bearings seized up and locked it completely. When it worked, it worked beautifully (minus the loudest beep on a fan ever, and it sounds off for every button you push). So quiet with very effective air flow, great spread of oscillation angle, and many, many features for tilt, timer, and speed control that I loved. The remote worked at almost any angle, too! That it died so abruptly was disappointing in the extreme. Having an engine guy for a husband, he opened it up to see if he could get things going again, which is when we discovered it was most definitely a goner, and of course it was out of warranty. For the price, I cant say I recommend it. With a life span that short, when there are cheaper options that last much longer? Not so much. Your mileage may vary.

Greater than one weekThis fan has a remote? And its $35? Im in. It was about the best price for a fan when I was shopping for this a few months ago. And as a fan, it moves air, so thats good. So its a good fan for $35. Heres some issues, though: 1) The remote doesnt adjust the side-to-side swivel. Thats handled the usual way by pulling up on a knob thats at the back of the fan. 2) After you turn off the fan, it forgets what speed setting you had it at. When you turn it back on, its full blast. 3) If you have it on a smart plug, it will forget that it was on when you power it off. (That is to say, the controls for speed and power are digital.) So when you turn the smart plug back on, youll also have to turn the fan back on. Then adjust the speed. This isnt a deal breaker for me. I still get to turn the thing off using Alexa. But if you have a fan in your bedroom like I do and want to control it with Alexa, this isnt the fan for you. 4) I find the noise level to be good. By that I mean its not too loud. When you turn it off after sitting near it on a warm evening, you will notice that its off, if you know what I mean. But you can generally hear the TV well enough (by turning up the volume a bit) so thats good. 5) I couldnt figure out how to put the grills on properly. The back goes on easily enough, then you simply screw on the fan. But the front grill gave me a load of grief, so I just left it off. (I dont have pets or kids so I can get away with that.) I had it on there for a bit but it started to rattle, so I yanked it off. Summarizing, if youre looking for a fan and $35 is a good price point for you, then this will work. The remote is a bonus, and it does the job. But it has its limitations which may or may not affect you.

> 3 daysolid fan. Very easy to put together and love that it has a remote. The only thing that bothered me was when you wanted to switch settings, the buttons made such a loud noise. For someone who mainly just uses the fan to sleep, the buttons being loud was quite annoying. The fan itself works very well and keeps rooms cool
