Excellent, I can't imagine the heat of summer without it anymore!

I purchased this Amazon Basics 16" Pedestal Fan for my home, and I'm actually using it right now as I write this review! Living in Texas, the summer heat can be intense, and this fan has been a lifesaver. It keeps my room cool and comfortable, making those hot nights so much more bearable. I can finally enjoy a pleasant night's sleep without constantly waking up feeling overheated. The airflow is strong yet quiet, so it doesn't disturb my sleep, and I love being able to adjust the settings with the remote without getting out of bed. The adjustable height and oscillation help cool the entire room, and it was very easy to assemble. This fan has definitely saved me from the Texas heat, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, quiet, and effective fan for a comfortable night's sleep.Ver más

Dose what fans more than twice the price.

I have only had this fan for a few days, however it was well packed and and easy to assemble. It appears well built from the very sturdy base to the sturdy fan cage. The motor is silent and the controls work well. As far as the air flow, it is extremely strong if you want or a mild breeze. The airflow is also very complete from the edges of the blades to the center. I very much appreciate that efficiency. The double blades send a high volume where you want it and spread at distance. I am using it to replace a two year old different make that did not do what it advertised. The fan is helping keep air from a large room that gets more warm or cool air from winter hearing and very hot summers. My forces air hearting and cooling needs another zone to keep a better balance and even after adjusting the dampers it's still uneven. Adding a zone is extremely expensive and a fan that looks nice isn't really noticed. It has the features of fans twice the price. For now I will spend less than $50 and get the airflow that would cost me several thousand. It is moving air approximately 30' with no issue. So far I highly recommend.Ver más

High-quality fan that is easy to assemble with no tools.

For its price point this fan exceeded my expectations.Unlike other pedestal fans I had purchased in the past, this one has a sturdy, square, not round base that is weighted for stability.The pole, it made of quality metal, not plastic like other brands with height easily adjusted by a simple easy to turn screw.But not so heavy that it cannot be easily moved and it even comes with a remote so you can easily change the fan speed, it has three from across the room.Unlike other pedestal fans this one actually has two fan blades for greater cooling and the fan even at high speed is whisper quiet and can be set to either stay in one position or oscillate.No tools are required to assemble the fan, but I do think the instructions on assembly included with the fan could have been more detailed.Note: When installing the second smaller fan blade make sure you screw it on, COUNTER clockwise which is not clearly explained in the instructions.I fought for 5 minutes trying to screw it on clockwise with a small illustration with no explanation showing it in the instructions.Conclusion, I highly recommend this pedestal fan for anyone looking to purchase a quality fan at a reasonable price.Ver más

4 year review

This fan has helped me through heat waves and helping me dry clothes. I will be ordering another one when I can.It is very sturdy and has very good air flow. It is also pretty quiet.Its been 4 years of constant use only being turned off to move it or clean it. I am shocked it has lasted this long. But today I noticed it not on. I think I just ran the motor out. It still turns on electricity but nothing moves nothing makes noise of trying to move. It was working perfectly fine last night still strong after the 4 years so I would say it is a very good product and worth the moneyVer más

The Fan Is Great. Their directions SUCK but here are better ones ;)

Well, here I am a year later to report this oscillating fan suddenly decided to do something VERY bad. It put out a loud electrical 'snap' & the fan blades stopped working. Oh, it still oscillates but it can't go fast enough going just side-to-side to generate a breeze. Of course this happened just one week past it's one year warranty. (LOL) I do like the fan, so I'll probably buy another next Spring.As to my original review: If you’re looking for a very nice oscillating fan with an excellent remote this one is a very good value. HOWEVER, first you have to assemble it. If I didn’t know better & it didn’t have the AmazonBasics® logo I swear the instructions were designed by IKEA®. [Anyone who’s ever tried to assemble that particular brand of furniture knows what I’m talking about.] I guess when they say 'Basics', they mean it.For those who are considering purchasing this item & wants to escape [most of] the assembly frustration here are some of the high points NOT covered in the instruction manual:1) Go ahead & unpack everything. You will find all the parts there… someplace, somewhere.2) Assembly of the base is dead easy. Pg. 6- 7. Unscrew the knob off the bottom, insert the stand & tighten the knob.3) Following the directions…what little there are…slide main unit onto standard & tighten those knobs. I should mention that the LOWER knob is the one you loosen/tighten in order to extend the fan higher or lower. The other knob secures the main housing to the extendable arm. This isn’t mentioned till page 13. But, so far, so good. Now comes the good parts!4) Remove the large fan blades off the back of the unit. Remove the Star Trek insignia shaped piece of plastic which is clipped to the blades. (I couldn’t for the life of me figure out what that thing was doing there or if I should take it off. It certainly looks like it belongs but it eventually it dawned on me this was just basically excess material.) Go ahead and toss it because it’s what’s known in the vernacular as a pocket part…just something they stuck on & it looks like you need it but it’s never mentioned. Put the blades aside for now.5) Look on the shaft sticking out on the base. That’s where the knob you’ve been looking for is. It's not mentioned but you need a pair of pliers to hold the shaft while you turn the knob RIGHT in a reverse fashion to unscrew it. DON’T mess with the pins sticking out of the shaft, you’ll need them later. [Note: this is the opposite of the normal ‘lefty-loosey, righty-tighty’]6) Now that you have the knob off go ahead & slide that black sheath off the post. Guess what, you get to throw that away too! It took me probably 15 minutes to figure out the blades’d never fit on the shaft with the sheath on. Turns out that piece wasn’t needed, either. Please note its presence is not mentioned anywhere in the directions.7) Now that you have all the nice things they never told you about out of the way, go ahead and unscrew the fixing ring of the main unit’s front. You can do this by hand. Mount the rear fan guard onto the shaft with the 2 pin holes facing up & the single pin facing down.[You’re still on page 7] Screw on the fixing ring [not the small screw you took off the shaft] until it’s hand tight.8) Now slide the large blades onto the shaft. If you look on the base of the fan blades you’ll see a small notch which has to be aligned with the pins on the shaft. You have to twist around & back to see the slot. Line them up & slide on the blades.9) The smaller blades (this is a dual blade set) slide onto the shaft next with the tiny teeth facing out. [Didn’t think I’d make you guess, did you? The manufacturer did.] Now use that small knob you took off the shaft in Step 5 to affix all the blades in place. Remember, this is ‘left-to-tighten’ instead of the normal ‘turn right for tight’.10) NOW comes the super fun part & it's definitely not in the directions. Take the main unit back OFF the base and lay on something flat like a bed or the floor. At this point I needed a VERY small Phillips head screwdriver (~1/32”), a 2nd person & a few strips of duct tape to manage this step.11) There is a rubber strip with a screw at the bottom you have to wrap around the back fan guard, blades and all & the front one at the same time with everything EXACTLY lined up. The part with the screw goes at the bottom of the guards. You can’t hold the 2 parts together easily, so that’s where the duct tape comes in. I used 3 1”x ¼”strips, [though if you strip 2 or 3 twist ties down to the wire & use them to secure pieces I think they’d work even better], just enough tape to help plus my spouse to hold the front & back guards together while I fit the rubber ring around them.This step took more than 30 minutes to accomplish with the guards sliding all over the place, the duct tape coming loose because you can’t leave it on, trying to open the ring just enough to let it go around the 2 pieces, fitting the ring's track around both while my husband’s using a magnifying glass to see well enough to tighten the screw all while I’m trying to hold everything stable with pillows stuffed around the base to keep it from turning & twisting. Get the idea? I think we both learned a few new 4 letter words with this last step.If you don’t have the type of screwdriver in your home toolbox you can get one in the eyeglass repair kits at the local CVS or Walgreens. They’re about 5 bucks so. Once you get it tightened, you should be done. Don’t bother looking for a nut on the end of the screw as there isn’t one, which is a very strange design. Normally this means you can’t keep loosening/tightening the screw without stripping the mounting. I wouldn’t know; once we got started with tightening of the screw we just kept going as best we could until we got both guards together.12) Replace the main unit back on the stand & tighten the knobs.13)The remote is nothing after all that. Slide off the cover, pop in 2 AAA batteries, slide the cover back on & you're good to go.I will say it’s really nice to have a remote-controlled oscillating fan. I can control on/off, speed, mode, isolation & a timer for sleep. I just wish somebody taught AmazonBasics® how to write directions.
