BLACK+DECKER 16 Inches Stand Fan with Remote

It provides more air and its heavy enough on the bottom so it doesnt tip over easily.With the remote I can turn it on from any distance and its easy to clean

Easy to put together, great oscillation, and a three great speeds. I was shocked when the highest sprees was the indeed fast and strong. This is going to be great for the upcoming heat.

I bought two of these and they both broke where you adjust the height. There’s a piece of plastic under the cap you turn to adjust the height. It’s very poor quality plastic and will break very easily like both of mine did. The plastic buttons on the fan are fragile too. On one, the plastic button below the power button tore open which is a blank button that does nothing but it is still annoying. I wish I could find the parts to fix these otherwise good fans.

Medium speed stopped working. I’ve reached out to black & decker with no response. Should have got protection plan. I would not recommend this one. Choose another fan if your looking

What I wouldve liked to known before buying: (To be fair all this info is probably readily available but I was in a hurry to buy a cheap fan so I wasnt thorough in reading about it.) 1. You CANNOT control the oscillating function (swinging motion) with the remote. You can only control this with a mechanical switch on the back of the fan. Luckily since the switch is mechanical you dont have to press it again every time you turn the fan on. 2. Most of the assembly is easy, but the last step is very difficult and you will NEED 2 people to finish it. The hardest part is putting the wire cover that goes over the blades. Basically the front piece of the fan that says Black & Decker. Youre supposed to get the plastic (back piece) to cover the wire, which is such a tight squeeze. I didnt think it was possible... and it really wasnt just using our hands. We had to use a butter knife to get the plastic around the wire while another person holds the cover in place so it doesnt pop out on the other side... It was like fitting 20lbs of meat into a 5lb sausage casing. The front cover stays on with mostly tension. I personally did my best to get the front logo straight, but it turned out slightly slanted because of the struggle we had getting it in place... I would have to undo the tension to fix it, but its not even slightly worth it... Id rather paint over the logo than have to put the cover back on. 3. If you lose the remote you cannot control the fan speed. There is no button on the fan that controls speed. Just power and timer. Also keep in mind that every time you power the fan on it automatically starts at the highest speed. So if you do lose the remote it will be stuck on high speed. Would I still buy the fan knowing all this now? ABSOLUTELY. It was cheap and its working great for what I need! The power is wonderful and its keeping my room a lot cooler. Its really not noisy and I think its because the blades are plastic. Its not silent, but I wouldnt say its loud or anything. One thing that would bother a lot of people is the LED light on it. It is very bright, and will light up a small room thats in complete darkness. Definitely annoying if the blue light is pointed straight towards you... And I did see the review below that explains how to remove the actual light diodes, but it wasnt really worth the effort to me, and I am familiar with picking apart electronics. I did, however, end up using black nail polish to paint over each light, and it worked great for me. It needed two coats and the light doesnt shine through at all... AT ALL. So if you dont want to open the thing up you can cover the lights with paint, or get creative with something else. If I am being nit picky towards Black & Decker, and giving them a tip for the future: I wish the cord was attached at the base of the fan instead of the control panel. It hangs down from the back and doesnt touch the floor when away from the wall... Its ugly and depending on where you put the fan you might have to step over the cord... But again, its cheap. Its working. Its all I needed! Hopefully it lasts a long time. Will update in the future if anything note-worthy comes up.

Love the remote so easy to use! The fan is also very quite and makes little to no noise.

Bought in May 2020 and three years later after occasional use—when warm but not hot enough for A/C—the fan doesn’t spin although the remote control and lights in the unit both come on. I gave three stars because it was good while it lasted but I’ve had another fan for at least ten years and that one still works.

This fan has saved me from so many sweaty nights during my pregnancy. I keep the remote tucked under my pillow for when I need to turn it on or off. Ill probably buy one for every room this summer.

Great fan that was easy to assemble and not breaking down.

My bedroom ceiling fan died this summer. I live in a hot climate, where a ceiling fan being out of commission is not a problem you can comfortably ignore. I took a chance on this fan just to have a quick replacement until I deal with the ceiling fan. Now were in October and fixing the ceiling fan has been put off repeatedly because this thing is better than the ceiling fan in my opinon. Remote control is a nice extra. It will turn fan on or off, has a separate button that cycles through 3 fan speeds, and a timer button that seems to start a turn off in 30 minutes countdown--I cant say as I run it all night. You might want a button to control oscillation, but theres where youre out of luck. Im assuming that this saves money, and honestly, it doesnt really matter to me -- who is switching between direct fan and oscillating fan over and over anyhow? Just having the remote and adjusting speed from bed is the best part. Noise. It isnt quiet even on lowest speed. If you watch TV at night in your bedroom, you are going to have to turn up the TV and/or turn down the fan most likely. Again, to me this is an easy compromise for live-preserving breezes. Assembly was pretty easy. Attaching the stand pieces together didnt really need instructions if youve ever put anything with a telescoping base together before, but there are instructions. Youll need to attach the fan blade and secure it with a nut, and youll need to patiently work the front cover of the fan into place to keep fingers out of the spinning blade. This was the longest part of the build because it kept popping loose when I almost had it secured. Maybe I just wasnt good at it :-) It certainly wasnt annoying enough to detract from recommending the fan. All in all, it has outlived my intended use for it, and shows no issues. Ive come to like it better than the ceiling fan, and the noise kinda fades into the background (Im usually running on medium or low). If I ever fix the ceiling fan this will be a nice addition to the garage-workshop. If.
