Best WindChaser WC163C Standing Misting Fan


WindChaser WC163C High-Velocity 16-Inch Outdoor/Indoor Floor-Standing Misting Fan

Customer Service is even worse than their product!!!!!!!!!!!

This is the biggest piece of junk you can buy. It will drown you from lack of wind to disperse the mist. The base is all cheap plastic and if you need support from them forget it. Their support is worse than their products. Pay more for better fan but at least you will have something useable. Mine is going in the garbage this week, I have been waiting 11 days for a reply to emails I sent because they will not talk to you on the 800 Customer service number. GAG!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Doesn't hold up --

Fan worked well at poolside, but you have to sit at least 8 - 10 feet away or you will get wet. Construction is cheap, with lightweight base and flimsy plastic in critical stress areas. We kept fan covered when not in use, but fan grate and screws started rusting within 6 months. Plastic cracked at rotating shaft housing in our second season, and the fan head finally fell off today. Did not last two full summer seasons.

Holmes HAWF-2041


Holmes HAWF-2041 Twin Window Fan
Holmes, Twin 9" White, Window Fan, 3 Speed Setting, Electrically Reversible For Intake, Exhaust Or Air Exchange, Comfort Control Thermostat.

Customer Review: twin fan

The fan functioned reasonably well but we felt the speed settings did not allow for a high enough speed to feel a big difference. It was easy to set up and had an accordion type extender on one end and a fixed slide in extender on the other which did a good job of filling the window space.

Customer Review: Blows just fine

A great fan for the window. Like the exhaust/intake option and temperature controls. We use it at night to intake when the air is in the 60s-70s. We've had ours several years and it seems to create a breeze just fine.

Best Soleus Air FT1-30-44 12-Inch Metal Table Fan


Soleus Air FT1-30-44 12-Inch Metal Table Fan
12", Metal Fan, Retro Looking Table Fan With Durable All Metal Construction, 3 Speed Setting, Adjustable Tilt Fan Head, Built In Carrying Handle, Whisper Quiet Operation.

incredibly quiet fan

If you are looking for a qiet fan this one is for you. I have bought 7 different fans that state they are quiet but that hasn't been the case. I decided to purchase this one because I have never heard of the brand before and boy was I impressed. We bought this fan for our bedroom but we needed a quiet one so we could sleep through it and it is literaly perfect. My last fan lasted 7 years before it burned out I plan on buying 2 more just to store just in case I need more. low speed sounds like a quiet whisper. the other 2 speeds are not much louder.

Customer Review: High quality fan

Made from metal parts, sturdy yet quiet. Exceeded my expectations. The only negative: I requested the bronze finish, however the black chrome arrived instead. I chose not to bother to exchange it. Jackie

Honeywell Black 16" Osc. Stand Fan


Honeywell Black 16" Osc. Stand Fan - Black
Customer Review: This is a good fan.

It arrived promptly and was very easy to put together. It is quiet, and puts out a nice amount of air. Rarely do I need more than the low speed. Being plastic, it is light weight, yet sturdy. I carry it out to my covered patio when I'm spending time out there, and use it indoors to augment ceiling fans.

Customer Review: One of the best osc. floor fans available.

I've own other floor fans which have died within a year of purchase, but the Honeywell stand fan I own (which I think I purchased from WalMart about 8-10 years ago) kept going strong. The motor finally died, but the poor fan was so neglected that the dust it collected inside the motor is probably what did it in.
The only difference in this fan and the fan I own now is the color. (Mine is Hunter green.) However, when my fan finally died, I decided to replace it with the exact same model, which I'm purchasing today.

    Perfect work fan

    Tthe Stanley Blower Fan

    This fan really works, and works hard. Occasionally, I will go in my garage work shop, and I normally would turn on the window air conditoner.
    Now,however, I put this blower fan about 12 feet away, turn in on, and I can work comfortably for the short spurts of work I usually do. This fan is well made, and is as advertised. I would not hesitate to recommend this model to anyone.
    very satisfied. Joe B
