HOLMES 16 Stand Fan With Remote Control, Black

Looking at the long list of reviews under this stand fan page, its puzzling since most refer to other products like desktop fans, USB fans, etc. My review is of the 16 inch stand fan only. This fan is built very solidly. Its all metal. Metal base, metal pole, metal motor housing, metal fan blades, and metal fan guards. Not plastic like most are these days. The controls are very simple. One three position switch for fan speeds (no electronics, no touch buttons, no programming, no remote control, etc.). This makes for a very reliable product that should last far longer than many others. The only other control is the one to have the fan go back and forth or not. Again its a simple mechanical control. This fan moves a bunch of air. Its not as quiet as some but it really moves air. I use it to cool off while on a treadmill and the air movement is really appreciated. The built in fans on treadmills are really not good enough. So how do I know its all metal? Simple, use a magnet. Wont stick to plastic. Final comment is this is a very good fan and I expect it to last far longer than the more complex one it replaced. If you want remote controls, programs, etc. then this is not the fan for you however.

The quality was horrible screws were stripped and it was very wobble did not blow hard at all do not buy

I like this fan. :)

We bought the 16 oscillating fan and when assembling it found the fan guard locking pins didnt fit onto fan motor housing correctly. It appears that there was a manufacturing problem with the rear fan guard. It was returned back to Amazon for a full refund.

Love this fan, works great, easy to assemble, looks beautiful.

This is an absolutely excellently made, heavy duty fan. I think it is even light weight stainless - whats not to like! Remember to read reviews with one eye on the mirror. Some of we folks cant screw on a lid properly. Much less put something together or understand the why of it. Ive been buying floor fans for years.....this is hands down the best. Is beyond my budget; Im saving up for another.....I expect it to last for years.

Fan Is Made Of Metal, Thats Good! Fan Blade Is Coated, Thats Bad Hard To Clean

Durable

Really, its wonderful. Looks like a fan from a bygone era, and sounds like a smooth running old fashioned jet airplane...but I love that too. It has personality and melts my heart.

This fan broke within a few hours of using it, it’s complete garbage material. Very upset.
