This is the second one I got from Amazon. The first one had a horrible clicking sound during oscillation which was distracting at night. Returned it next day and got a replacement. Can’t fault Amazon customer service there.
The fan itself is tall which is great as we now no longer need to stand in a box at night in order for it to easily blow across the bed.
It’s not quiet even on the lowest setting but it’s still quiet enough to be able to fall asleep to.
Sleep mode is a bit irritating so we don’t use it. The constant speed up and slow down is noisy.
The remote control is great. Always like to have a remote for things like this so you don’t need to get out of bed
Overall it’s a decent fan which is much taller than others out there which might just be its best feature. Other than that it’s just a standard upright tower fan. Does what it should.
The packaging was so tight around the fan, my mam and I struggled to get it out. After a tug-of-war with the fan and its packaging, the fan is very good. It does what it should and has an extra automatic variable wind setting.
Great product does the job. Slightly loud if you are watching tele in same room. No a major issue turn tele volume up. I think this product would be slight better if it had a 4th option which was just a breeze at a lower capacity which would make it quieter but overall pleased with this item.
I bought this fan for my daughter’s bedroom as I already have this model and love it! I have found that the newer version is even quieter than previous. Nothing bad to say about i
Decent fan, has diffrent levels, so can adjust, air feels cold which will be a bonus as we come into summer, hopefully it will stay that way, but overall good fan. The remote is handy too.
I’m not sure why this arrived packed like y’alls were shipping an ancient artifact, but lemme tell ya nothings gonna bust this thing up in transport! After a hilrious struggle trying to actually get the box open, I found this little folded card explaining how to open the box. Which made me laugh even harder. Took about 30 seconds to set it up, took a hilrious 20 minutes to unbox it. Thanks for a much laugh though. Who knew buying a tower fan would be fun.
Fan is excellent by the way!
This fan is perfect for use in a bedroom. It is extremely quiet and has the advantage of a remote control. The output vents are high so you get full benefit of the cool air.
I do not use the sleep mode or timer.
Very impressed with this fan. Yes it is a little expensive but definitely worth it. It’s very quiet as well which is bonus too. I got this fan as my bed is quite high up and this fan manages to reach me.
Arrived promptly, well packed, easy to assemble. Works well not too noisy, looks great too. I am very pleased with it ,ready for the heatwave .
Excellent fan, very tall so check dimensions but I really like the fact that the actual fan is off the floor so it’s a lot more effective. It’s also very quiet and I think we will be buying another one, I really recommend.
I bought this for an investment flat of mine where the flat gets very hot in summer. All tenants since then have not complained about the heat in the flat, so my assumption is that the fan has done the job.
Amazing product , I love it , don’t know how I lived without i
Bit expensive for a fan. But brilliant in the bedroom as the cold air starts above the bed and not underneath i
Really strong wind even on the first power but can be a bit loud
Love this fan. We have survived this years heatwaves because of this machine. Looks sleek and modern in our living room. Strong air comes out even on the first settings. It has timer and oscillating settings. Easy to use, even my 4 year old knows how to switch it on and make it turn. Would recommend for anyone looking for a really good quality tower fan.
Bought for use in a bedroom, primarily, this tower fan was efficient and effective.
Pros:
Good turning circle to move air around a room
Easy to control
Relatively quiet on low setting
Timer function
Lightweight so easy to move from room to room
Cons
Almost impossible to get out of the packaging – instructions tell you to pull, but the packaging has the product firmly sellotaped to the inside of the box
Not that quiet on the higher settings (and not, as a result in sleep mode)
Great cooling fan, good quality & looks great, all the features add to its effectiveness & usefulness in the hot weather. Would recommend. Easy to assemble the base which is sturdy for the height of the tower.
The fan Produces strong wind and not very noisy, it also has a good height which is perfect for the bed.
The only thing that could be improve is the lights which are strong so not very good for the night, I’ve fixed it by covering the light.
I would strongly recommend this fan, very good product for the price.
This Dimplex Fan was great over the hot weather we thought we would try this style to see if it was any good, It was easy to fit the base and its very powerful. I really like the idea it has a choice of 3 speed settings which you can have it oscillating , and you can put it on a timer for up to 8 hours also it has a handy little remote. It has a powerful fan which the dog seemed to enjoy and unlike some other brands it wasn’t that loud and it doesn’t take up much room.
Pretty good fan, definitely a life saver during the hottest days! The quietest setting is just about quiet enough for sleep. It got docked a star because my white unit is actually a light lilac colour. Not sure why it’s discoloured but it looks a bit odd in my otherwise white room.
Best buy for the money love this . So easy to use and works so well
These fans are excellent
Have now ordered four
The last one for my 90 year old mother as the remote is perfect for her.
This product works very well and did its bit during the recent spell of hot weather with no problem. Noted the problem others had with the packaging! Recommend opening the package down its long side rather than at one end. Makes life a lot easier.
Whoever thinks this is white is clearly colour blind. Is the black one orange I wonder?
Colour aside it is easy to assemble, hardest part was extracting it from the box. Unit works well. Being used in kitchen so the height is ideal
Great sleek full size fan at a sensible price. I love the timer function, especially during this heatwave you can fall asleep knowing it will switch off.
So glad I bought this during the winter in expectation of a heatwave or two. This stands in our room, me working in one corner, the guinea pigs living on the other side, and we can all feel the benefit of the cool airflow wafting about.
It feels cool, although there is no actual cooling mechanism. Just shaded room, and moving the air around.
The steady mode means it’s easy to consign the sound to a background noise. I tried it on the variable setting, and couldn’t get used to the stop-start effect.
Although I’m a light sleeper I reckon I could use this in the bedroom, since not sleeping for the heat is not easily fixed: not sleeping for sound, well – earplugs!
You need to be able to store it in an upright position, since the careful instructions on unpacking it are partly to stop you damaging it in its lying down position. But I found them reasonably easy to follow, although sliding the machine out of the close-fitting packaging would have been easier with someone on the other end!
The remote is easy to use and there’s a neat holder for it at the back of the tower. If only I’d noticed that before I stored it somewhere safe!
Altogether I think this is an excellent buy, and I’m so glad I got it before I needed it. The guinea pigs approve too, now they are used to it!
Good fan, I like the height so that it reaches you if you’re on the sofa or in bed. I wish there was a timer option for only 30 minutes as an hour is a bit too long sometimes. Noise isn’t too much of an issue if you’re trying to sleep but the lights are very bright!!
Amazing fan, it is quite loud if you have it on the highest setting but if I’m honest I only ever have it on 1 or 2 as it’s very powerful! Also like the fact I can set a time on it and the little remote is handy.
Excellent product. Nice cool breeze option is fantastic. Still a touch noisy but one soon gets used to it. The best fan I’ve ever owned.
Nice and slim so easy to move around if needed. It’s also reasonably quiet and the remote control is perfect for night time use
Highly Recommended. I bought this fan for my office. Everyone liked it
Its a good fan.
I use this in the bedroom to keep cool and this fan with the extra height works very well
First unit broken on arrival. Awaiting replacement. Collected by Hermes the day after I requested replacement, Working unit received the day after that so was very prompt.
PROS: Black Fan looks very smart and is easy to assemble. Great air flow, three good power settings. Timer works well and the remote is handy (it has a convenient storage space under the control unit on the fan itself). It’s tall enough so that it can be used in a bedroom and the airflow blows over the bed rather than under it. It is quieter than a pedestal fan.
CONS: Natural and sleep modes are a bit pointless so won’t be using. Blue light on the top may disturb some but we don’t have an issue ourselves. It also beeps when using the controls, so if you have someone else asleep in the room when changing settings it may disturb them (again not a problem for us). Packaging really hasn’t been thought through despite the unpacking instructions.
NOTES: Unpacking requires cutting the box to extract the product (i suggest running a knife down the seam corner so it can be taped up should you need to return it). On assembling the base, when you push the 2 halves of the base together you may see a ridge on the top. Put a palm top and bottom and squeeze til you hear them snap into place. Don’t forget to put the cable through the cable guide on the bottom of the base, to allow the cable to pass through without making the stand wobbly. It really is a decent product for the price provided you get it unpacked properly and use a bit of common sense when assembling the base.
An excellent fan that I would highly recommend. I bought two of these devices and they have proven to be excellent purchases; they have 3 power settings for the fan, and several timer settings at varying increments from 1 to 8 hours. The remote control works well and enables power, timer, and other settings from the comfort of your chair.
The fan is fairly quiet, and the rotation helps to cover a good angle to keep a whole room cool. However one of the best assets of this fan is it’s size; tall enough to ‘fan’ over most tables and sofas, but with a very compact base so it can fit into almost anywhere.
Definitely worth purchasing, highly recommended and at a reasonable cost.
stands anywhere in youre room . Looks good and definitely keeps you cool .
Great fan very low noise too . Does blow quite some distance too. A great buy as got this on an amazon deal of the day
I Don’t very often give out 5 star reviews but for this fan I will. This is my second fan only having to replace it after 10 years service from my old one! And trust me it gets used a lot espcially as I have to have a fan on a lot at night. So worth the money.
It is a great fan with 3 different fan speeds plus 1 setting that cycles through the different speeds & a night mode. It also has a timer.
For me because i go to sleep with a fan most nights the noise does not really effect me but I personally think it is not to load to go to sleep with.
I love this device! It really does cool — even though it supposedly shouldn’t because it’s not an air con.
I’m using it in a British (London) summer. Last year (2019) was hot and humid for most of the summer months, and it was a lifesaver in both the office and the bedroom.
This year have not needed it as much, but overall, very, very happy.
Great fan just what I wanted. No noise great features, arrived the next day what more could you want. Throughly recommend.
As other reviews, I agree it is difficult to remove from the box. The box also came damaged but the fan was alright. It keeps the air moving on hot days. The fan is loud and honestly I don’t think the other functions do anything with the noise. Also it has a very bright blue light on the top that annoys my light sensitive husband. I think it is a good fan.
Brilliant fan. So pleased to have this during the hot weather. It’s very quiet, doesn’t keep me awake at night and doesn’t interfere with the tv.
I’ve had a Dimplex tall tower fan for years bought from Argos for around 60 but then they stopped selling it and I really wanted another because of how good it was. If this new one is anything like the old one I’ve been using for years then this will be perfect. I’ve noticed the controls have changed slightly but you get the exact same functionality as before.
Struggled to get it out of packing and had to cut box not ideal if needed to return it.
Putting it together really needs two pairs of hands. I really struggled on my own. Would have liked the timer function less than an hour which is the minimum. Fan plenty powerful and not too noisy. Oscillation seems to work but not very wide.
I bought this fan for my bedroom, its great , its slimline so fits in quite easy anywhere you want it. also not that noisy so perfect for sleeping with and as a timer function which is useful and you can press for a natural breeze which is great. should have bought one sooner!
We have purchased 2 of these fans previously and they are great because the cooling air is nice and high. Previous fans were both black, but we thought we would go for a cleaner fresher look and ordered the white. However, they are the strangest colour of white I have ever seen and have a definite pink hue, which is very frustrating. Wondering if anyone else has the same issue?
Easy to assemble, lightweight and does the job, which is to cool down the room during these warm nights!
I already had this in black, and decided to go with another in white for the bedroom. It isn’t exactly white, more a very pale lavender/lilac colour, but it suits my room and I like the colour. Does the job and is very good at cooling the room.
The fan arrived fast, as expected, and it’s really good, I choose this one because a friend has it since 3 years and it’s perfectly functional. I found it a bit difficult to assembly the lower part(stative) as there’s no instructions about it, and I saw many customers complained about it’s not stable. Once you put the screws right, it’s perfect. I attach a photo of how they should be assembly. To take it out of the box was easy(two people pulling on one side, and it didn’t break the white protection at all:)
It’s silentios, and I think I will use it on the most low speed, as it makes a strong wind.
Good product but fan may struggle in large room during hot weather. Good value and attractive product.
Excellent reliable and neat design Helps relieve my swollen feet/ankles as i suffer from raynard’s and the time rant air flow cools and aids speedily
It’s very quiet, which is welcome compared to most fans. T feels a little flimsy, thus only 4 stars. But generally better than the cheap tosh you get in Tesco and b&q when the temperature rises.
I was looking for a fan that would stand on the floor and be height enough to reach over my bed, perfect!
Amazingly effective and quiet too very useful as it moves air around over a far more vertical area than most cooling fans
Works well
Remote easy and works well
Keeps room cool
Noise level not too bad
Good buy
Better fan than a round type
This fan is perfect for the bedroom as it provides cool air above bed level. There is some noise but it didn’t affect my sleep as much as being too hot did. Very happy with this.
A great fan ..nice and cool for the hot summers ..noise levels low nice and slim..on thing I would have liked is that it came in white..but other than that a great buy..
Great fan doesn’t take up much space, reasonably quiet, would be 5 stars but for the very bright blue led light on top, now covered by black tape
Really please with this . Bought as a replacement for a heavier duty one that had packed up this is possibly more efficient at a good price. My only real criticism is that there is no where to store the remote but as i tend to use it when in bed it sits on the bedside table
Nice slim fan work’s well . Little bit noise but its a fan. The blue light is a bit bright but didn’t bother me. All in all for the money good value.
Good item and keeps the room cool but very noisy. I bought 2 and 1 is a lot louder than the other. Maybe a fault but can’t be bothered with the hassle of returning g it as all its functions still work.
Great fan. Remote control broke. Can’t find replacement. Otherwise excellent but as my mum is bed ridden a remote is a must. Please get in touch to get a replaceme
Great fan, with it being taller, you get the air where you want it, rather it just cooling your legs, I have mine next to the tv so not too noisy, having a remote is a bonus.
Happy enough with this. Not overly noisy. Don’t like the ‘random breeze’ setting. Definitely worth the purchase if you considering a Dyson. This is slim and stands in the corner of my bedroom. Hardly notice it. The remote is great. My only gripe is the LEDs at night. This was overcome by putting a hat on the top.
Not a bad fan but I’ve had better! It’s not that quiet if you want to use it throughout the night and also the illuminated control panel is quite bright if you like a pitch black room.
I bought 2 and they were delivered on the hottest day of the year so far. One of our bedroom and one for child’s room.
Bladeless fans eliminate some danger for people or animals but I guess it’s still possible to be knocked over.
As per other reviews, it is packed tight and I recommend opening both ends of the box and push it through (ironic that the instructions for how to get it out of the box are in the box).
3 fan speeds (I wouldn’t say weak but not powerful either).
Even on 3, it’s not that loud, especially if you compare it to a blade fan. Can quite easily fall asleep with it on 1 (could probably sleep on 3 but I’m not the best judge on that).
Timer function is great and reliable, as is the remote.
Looks pretty cool too.
I’d buy another one if I needed to and would recommend it.
Arrived early and although not silent running it’s a lot quieter than our previous fan. Not too keen on the blue light when it is on and if there was a function to turn it off it would be bette
My wife and I were feeling the heat badly due to our advanced ages so ordered the ‘Mont Blanc’ fan on the spur of the moment…we are well pleased with it…….our only wish is that it ‘fanned’ us when we were a lot further away from it now and again but we perhaps should have chosen a far more expensive model to meet these needs! For what we paid it is excellent. We don’t have any complaint re the packing as others appear to have…….there was a note on the outside explaining ‘how to unpack’ which helped us! Always STOP and read the instructions first! Many thanks to all concerned in the manufacture, sales and delivery..
Received it ahead of delivery date & was initially happy as it WAS quiet the first night BUT on the second night an hour after turning it on it made a clattering noise like with an old desk fans blade hitting the guard…. Can’t send it back as it was so tightly packed in its box…. there was no way of getting it out without tearing the box down the seam. Guess I’ll have to see what I can do to sort the problem as doubt they’d take it back without the original box.
can now use this in bedroom as it higher than the bed so benefit from the cool air, little bit noisy but worth it,had fun getting it out of box.
Such a lovely sleek design. With having a new puppy I was very conscious of having a warm house so was quick to find a fan that suited my house. After looking at different designs and models I loved the style of the Dimplex and was not disappointed when it arrived. Quick assembly with only having to put the base together and works like a dream. Tucks away in the corner with no hanging wires. The wire runs from the base with a clip to run it smoothly through and out the back. Would 100% recommend.
Very easy to put together and perfect height, has stumped my toddler (who enjoys turning off my old pedestal fan and watching me slowly sweat to death), as the control panel is on top and higher than most toddlers can reach.
Looks very chic and takes up very little space and is very quiet.
It’s perfect-the correct height and evenly distributes cool air around my front room. It’s not noisy and it’s sleek. The best bit is that I can use the remote to change the settings so no more getting up and down to switch it up or dow
Great product, very slimline, fits anywhere, air is actually very cold, which is great. Remote is very easy to work out. Easy to put together – one thing though, the instructions as to how to get it out of the package – is in the package!! We opened both ends and pushed it through the box. It’s well packaged and in fairness – it has to be.
Writing this review after several years and the fan is still going strong. Hope I don’t jinx it, also lite use which may be the reason why it lasted so long
This was an absolute live saver during the recent heatwave. It actually produces cold air. It is not just recycling the warm air in the room. Very slim and stylish compared to what else is available . Should be easy to store away in the winter. Lots of different programmes. I just stick with the basic one.
Great fan!! Looks smart, sleek and delivers air well. A little noisy but it is a fan…. kept us very cool during the hot summer months.
Decent quality tower fan for the money. Runs very quietly, and can cool a regular sized uk south facing lounge in the hot weather we have been getting this year.
Remote stores itself in a recess at the rear of the fa
I already have one of these. They are quite quiet and easy to use (they have a remote control). A bit tricky to assemble but worth it. I got it to keep the dogs cool as one of them is frightened of a conventional fan. Good price
The fan was brought for my lounge so looked for a fan that also looked good as well as cooling.This fan looks a bit like an upright speaker and blends in very well.The remote control is an added bonus as you can adjust speed and direction from the comfort of your seat.It works well and is not to noisy on the bottom speed.I gave it 4 stars instead of 5stars as the base is a bit light which can make it easy to knock over especially if you have children or pets but other than that it is a good product.
Nice looking fan, the remote is very handy, we are using the fan in our bed room, the height where the air come is perfect height for it to skim across the bed.
The breeze is gentle, you do have 3 setting. 8 hour timer, you can set the breeze to blow like real wind, soft and strong.
It’s quiet, but the oscillating is too much of a degree so you wait too long for the breeze to get you, perfect for a busy room not laying in front of it.
The remote does allow you to position the fan whilst laying in your bed making it perfect to position. I would recommend this product.
power is average, noise levels are average – but it is sleek and can sit in corner all year around. I bought this because I wanted a tower fan for the kitchen, where needs to cool when standing up. I still find i need to tilt it a bit, but, its ok for that task. Also good for the breeze reaching you over furniture. That really is the reason for buying this over other models, aside from the fact that its one of the few models you can actually find in stock – well done british commerce.
Oh, and getting it out of the box is absolutely ridiculous – never experienced anything like it.
This was one of the best buys I’ve made.
Love this thing, the fan is really strong – there are 3 speed settings and I’ve yet to bother setting it higher than the first. There is some wind noise but its not disruptive in the room and one can sleep comfortably.
The height of the unit is brilliant, the fan accounts for around 50% of the unit height (top, starting just below the controls). Its general styling is very neat, modern and smart.
I was initially weary of this unit as some of the reviews mentioning rattling, noise etc, but I was looking for the height. After unboxing it and general testing, I oiled the bearings (they were a bit dry) and put a frictionless strip under the bottom ring where the plastic cowling can sometimes just catch when rotating – not a single rattle or squeak.
Considering the price and value against other one to three hundred, plus, Pound fans out there – where you’re paying more for the brand than anything else, I give it : 4.5 awesome stars.
Easy enough to put together (but do be sure to read the enclosed instructions). The remote control is my new bff – I can adjust everything without having to move more than a finger which is great during a heatwave There are lots of settings to give a gentle waft to a hurricane and everything in between. It isn’t terribly noisy……obviously on a high setting, it gets a little fierce but on the night setting it’s perfect for a good nights sleep. I can’t rate it highly enough!
Pretty good fan! Little deceiving as the fan does not run the entire height as it would appear. However this lifts the blower to blow over low standing furniture. Have been using in lounge pointing directly at us in this heat to provide some relief. Not to loud.
Stylish, smart looking & compact. Taller than expected, but happy. Quieter than an average fan. I would have given it 5 stars had it arrived with batteries for the remote (as stated on here & in the booklet) & if Hermes hadn’t delivered it a few doors away because they couldn’t tell the difference between the number 5 & 9 or they didn’t want to walk a little further.
The delivery from DPD was not good. The promised txt advising of the 1hr deliver slot never materialised the result being, the first delivery attempt was missed. The 2nd attempt was left where requested although the door was not padlocked afterwards as mandated in my instructions. The box had been damaged and resealed with depot tape.
As others have stated the product packaging is a nightmare – everything should slide out of the box but the reality is it doesn’t so, be prepared for a bit of a fight.
The product: well mine had slight cosmetic damage down one side and due to the state of the packaging I’d guess this occurred during transit. I am very happy with the product itself though. The base needs to be assembled but this is a quick easy one person job. It is, as other reviews have stated, a pretty flimsy, light weight plastic base. Due to the height of the fan this does cause it to seem a little unstable. The fan itself has a good range of power sending out a nice soft breeze. Is it noisy? Yes it makes a noise. Its a mechanical object. It is not as noisy as a pedestal oscillating fan though nor do I find the noise irritating. There are some settings I’m not convinced I’ll ever use but it’s always nice to have the option. The fan looks nice; there’s certainly nothing horrible looking about it. It is slimmer than many on the market and so useful if floor space is tight.
This is a different creature to the normal pedestal oscillating fan and personally, I much prefer this option.
Initially difficult to get out the box without ripping the packaging, so i had to just rip away, then i was worried incase i needed to return it.
Once opened it was easy to assemble, it took about 5 mins, only 4 screws. The stand is a little flimsey but its doing the job.
It look well, stands in the corner of my bedroom and dosn’t take up much space.
Iv’e tried all the settings and its more than powerful enough to cool my room.
Its noisey on setting lll but i use it on number l overnight and im pleased to say it has not kept me awake. Although i thought it might.
After using it for only 4 nights i do love it and would reccomend it. The remote is tiny but works well at a distance.
I did consider the dyson fan but im pleased i tried this first bacause for a fraction of the price its keeping my room cool. (Menopausal and finding it difficult to sleep). The dyson would have been my first choice but at 400 its so expensive.
If you want a decent fan on a budget that stands in the corner of a room, go for this, i dont think i will regret this purchase. (Unless anything goes wrong with it).
Purchased 4 of these from Amazon.co.uk for 49.99 each. An excellent upright tower fan; I purchased four of these in the end and had to open them up to disable / reduce the brightness of the LEDs and muffle the beeper. It seems this is identical to the Xpelair Mont Blanc XPP Tower Cooling Fan, 40 W, White, albeit in black colour.
The fan is well designed and a good height for an upright tower fan. Note that only the upper 2/3rds of the tower unit house a fan – the lower 1/3 is just casing.
When using in a bedroom, the blue LED lights are very bright and tend to light up the room at night. This was easily solved by removing the screws and opening up the top unit, and using black electrical tape to block out the “Power” LED, and white electrical tape to dim the other LEDs. Otherwise, at night, it is like leaving a blue tourch on pointing at the ceiling. Electrical tape over the beeper also helped to reduce the “beeping” noise it makes whenever a setting is changed.
The units seem easy to clean and some directed WD40 oiling helps to keep them running smoothly. However, I did notice that some of them do “rattle” a little more than others, especially on high settings.
However, I do have one by the bedside about 1.5 metres away and found that on a low setting, it is not disturbing to me whilst sleeping. But it does seem to vary from unit to unit, as some of them are more noisy, even after oiling (so your mileage may vary!).
The remote control works well and as they are all identical, you can use one remote for all of the units if you have several.
I bought this to replace an old unsightly pedestal fan which was stored in the loft when not in use. This is much more modern and better looking so can stay in the front room next to the telly all year round. All of the fans functions work via the remote control so you can put it in an inaccessible corner never needing to touch it again.
Nice fan, good for use in the bedroom as it is taller than standard fans and blows air nicely over tall diwan beds. The base comes in two parts which require some asembly to form the round baseplate you see and then the fan unit connects to that base with screws. Noice levels are not so bad, about average for any fan and base is sturdy enough for most uses. Comes with a remote controller as well.
Sits very neatly in the corner of our bedroom. Blows well, even on the lowest setting. Helps to make the room feel cooler at night. However, the centrifugal fan is quite loud even at the slowest setting and I don’t like the creaking noises the unit makes when it is rotating horizontally. These creaking sounds do stop if the oscillation feature is turned off. There is an optional timer feature, that automatically switches the fan off after a user selectable time period.
The remote control is very useful and effective. Duplicates all the options on the main control panel. It uses a single CR2025 button cell battery and these are widely available in most supermarkets for about 3.
Overall, we are pleased with this purchase.
Got this at the end of summer as our previous cheap desktop fan was developing emphysema and seems unable to snuff a candle at 5 inches.
This piece works nicely, and can aerate a fairly large bedroom. It certainly helps airflow, as does the oscillation and rotation functions to mix things up a little. The power behind this on minimum setting is respectable, and the full power whilst not hurricane level, is still very functional.
The noise levels generated are a little higher than I would have hoped, and is the only reason I will not give a full five stars, I stil certainly do not regret the purchase and it is still quieter than the old useless fan we had.
The remote is handy, though I wish it didn’t beep, as hen I use it to change settings or start it in the middle of the night, it could wake up the wife and lead to death.
Easy to put together and I’ve been using it most nights in the summer, it has got progressively noiser although it’s not a bad thing as it’s drowns out the clanging of my mum loading a dishwasher at 11 at night. The constant noise is actually quite nice. The only time I’m not allowed to use the fan is when my girlfriend stays as it apparently “irritates” her eyes….. it would be good if the fan came with a little violin that I can play for my girlfriend when she cries.
We bought this for our B&B room as a nicer looking option than a traditional fan and when we have nobody in we borrow it. It blows out lovely cold air and oscillates nicely taking up very little floor space. Not too noisy on a low setting.
One year on we are in a heatwave so we have bought a second one for ourselves and it is really efficient and cools a large lounge down quite quickly on the lowest setting. Stylish and discreet it takes up very little room and will stash in the back of a wardrobe for the winter.
Very easy to setup and install.
The fan power itself is great and cools the whole room down. I have tried the night time mode but I just don’t understand it as one second it’s quiet then the next it ramps itself up I don’t see any difference personally between the night time setting and the other one where it does the same.
I like this fan though and would recommend it.
Great product overall and certainly fits the job we was after it cools the room (or at least makes it more bearable) and looks quite smart, we was after a dyson fan but decided the extra cost wasn’t worth it in the end, and happy we got this.
If I had one complaint it might be that it’s a tad loud but once you get used to it this isn’t really a issue.
This fan does the job while looking very sleek and stylish. The fan is quite loud, even on the lowest setting and for that I had to take a star off. I bought this on reviews saying it was quiet, I think the people who reviewed this before me must be deaf.
Slim and unobtrusive, we have found this fan to be efficient and versatile. Very easy to assemble, we positioned it in a corner of the conservatory where it was hardly noticeable. It takes up much less room than our previous pedestal fan (which had an enormous 4pce foot) and the optional oscillating feature enables you to direct the cooled air exactly where you need it with a choice of air intensity by way of the various speed functions. In addition, it has a timer which we have not yet felt the need to use. All in all a very satisfactory product at a reasonable price.
These are good fans…. the price is a bit ridiculous but I was buying them for a client so I didn’t have to pay for them myself. When you consider these were originally being sold at Cost Co or Argos for 40 you appreciate the build quality better (and also the mark up on them).
They are a bit taller than you expect when you first see them. We wanted tall to help distribute the air better around the rooms. They are certainly at a good height for that.
On the positive they are strong and put out a lot of breeze. The actual fans on top speed might be noisy to some ears.. for me I got used to them quite quickly and it didn’t bother me. There’s a remote control that comes with them and this fits into a little click-in cubby hole space on the back which is a great idea.
On the negative, the bases are obviously a bit wide and this prohibited us from sticking the fan right up against the wall and hiding it behind the curtains when not in use. Also due to the height and weight of it, the fan tends to leaning forward a little until you turn it on to full power where it stands straight upright.
Little bits of black plastic fell out of one of the 2 I bought.. I’m not sure if this will become a problem or not.
The main bad thing about these fans is the noise made by the bottom of the case vibrating. Yes folk, this is what makes them so damn noisy. The good news is you can easily remove them and still have an elegant tower fan. If you prefer the bottom section to remain on then you could possibly come up with a way fix it in place and stop the rattle.
Check the size before you buy.. It’s large & imposing but stylish & useful so merits it’s space. Have this in mind when introducing to any pets.. My macaw hates it… he’ll come round though.
I agree with everything from the first review but I work from home often standing to package items & also with a high gas lift chair at my computer so… I just lift it onto a large 15 inch high corner table – perfect for me..
Having said this I can feel it on my face when on the floor but it’s not really a breeze – I have a 45ft work-room.. half way is a doorway to the hall.. standing in the hall just beyond the doorway I could feel the coolness from it on my face- it was on the floor on the 1st (lowest) setting
I too love the little 7cm x 4cm button free battery suplied remote – it has all the functions & clicks into the top back when not needed, a small push clicks it back out again.
I’m begining to parrot the 1st persons review so I’ll just say you probably will have to raise the volume on your T.V & perhaps speak a tad louder/clearer.
Oviously the higher the setting the louder it is.
It looks like the old heavy bakelite to me which gives it a look of stylish quaility that could be from days gone by
The Ocillate function is great & it moves from side to side smoothly
It sells like ‘hot cakes’ but they usually add more stock quicker than stated.
