    Fair for the price

    This fan is just ok. I found the assembly confusing. The fan is top heavy. It could easily be knocked over. Also, the fan part itself tilts up and down, but since it is so heavy, it occasionally will drop down if bumped slightly. It makes an odd noise when it osculates. This is an ok product for the price.

    arrived with missing pieces

    This would have been a great buy but it arrived with missing pieces.

    All I got was the crossbars for the feet and the fan part for the top.

    There was no middle part or neck, if you will.

    I guess these companies figure it's too much trouble to send back so I won't because it is, and I have a PVC pole I"m going to use with it's own feet.

    But it was really a drag to not have the part that makes it stand up in the box.

    O2 Cool 2059 Squeeze Breeze Misting Fan


    O2 Cool 2059 Squeeze Breeze Misting Fan - Assorted Colors

  • Assorted Colors
    Squeeze Breeze Water Misting Fan, Pump Action Sprayer, Over 1000 Mists, Ability To Add Ice Provides A Mist 30 Degrees Below Air Temperature, Soft Foam Blades

    Customer Review: poor design

    The spray nozzle is directly behind the fan blades. The fan blades are large. Hence the nozzle is spraying into the rear of the blades more often than not. more water drips down the back of the blades than is blown at the user. Would make a whole lot more sense with thin fan blades.

    Holmes HAOF-90UC 10-Inch 3-Speed Blizzard Table Fan


    Holmes HAOF-90UC 10-Inch 3-Speed Blizzard Table Fan
    Hot time, summer in the city--there's nothing like a powerful fan to keep you cool and collected despite the heat. The Blizzard oscillating fan from Holmes features three speed settings and a hard-working Blizzaire motor to ensure you have the temperature control to keep your wits about you. The fan head features a swirling grill design, adjustable for complete control over the tilt angle, and can oscillate from any position. The fan has a solid, wide base for tabletop or desk use (just don't place it too close to your computer monitor--it will make your display flicker), and we especially appreciate the handle built into the base for easy moving or storage. If your tabletop real estate is at a premium, the fan is easy to mount on a wall, although the mounting hardware is not included. Crafted from durable slate-gray poly, the fan has a three-year limited warranty. --Ariel Meadow Stallings

    Customer Review: know what you're getting

    I can't believe one reviewer said this fan is "quiet." Compared to what? A jet engine? This fan moves a lot of air, but it is LOUD.

    Customer Review: Too loud for the bedroom

    This could be ok for an office, or maybe a busy kitchen, but I wanted something to circulate the bedroom air at night. Although this did the job, the noise couldn't be ignored. After trying an array of other small fans as well, I ended up putting in a ceiling fan, and am glad I did. On low, the ceiling fan is absolutely inaudible.

    This is a great product. I put it in a very drafty room in my house and have no need to turn up the heat. This little dynamo really works!! I highly recommend this product to anyone who needs to warm up!!!

    12" Oscillating Table Fan


    12" Oscillating Table Fan
    Cool off your personal space with a 12-in. oscillating desk fan. Perfect for the office, dorm, or at home with adjustable tilting head and speed control.

  • Oscillating desk fan
  • 3 speed rotary controls
  • Adjustable tilting head
  • Front & rear plastic grill
  • Made in the USA

    Customer Review: Not what was promied

    This fan was reported to be very quiet and reliable, but after I put it together (not a hard task at all), it was considerably noisier than I had hoped. It was about as noisy as other small table fans I've bought. Not terrible, but certainly not the soft hush I had hoped for. The biggest problem was that the fan only worked on two of the three motor speeds!!! Although it created a strong breeze, the lack of quiet and the defective speeds don't make it a great bargain.

    Customer Review: works well

    This fan works well and produces a decent amount of air for my kids bedroom- although that is with it sitting about 2 feet away from them and oscillating. The only minor issue is that the fan is made of all plastic and doesn't seem to be able to tolerate too much abuse (dropping on the floor, etc)- which my kids sometimes do to things. Overall, pretty happy.
