20 Best Stand Fans For Home (Jan 2023 Update)

Pros: Nice air feel. Very quiet. Simple, minimalist design. Good size. Lightweight. Enjoying being able to control via the app. Cons: Was expecting the height to be easily adjustable, rather than needing to remove a part to make it shorter. I did not like the sound of the beep, but was happy to be able to disable this via the app. Overall: We have been using this for a few days now. Very happy with this purchase. Best fan I have owned.JinkiC

While setup was a little finicky, once configured and on the wifi (must be 2.4ghz) it is awesome. Can add to siri shortcuts and control on/off, oscillation, fan speed, and breeze mode, although that took a bit of googling to find out how. (via the automation menu, add manual, choose command, and once automation is saved it can then be added to Siri). Build quality is great, albeit mainly plastic. Performance wise it destroys the standard type fans, and the natural breeze option works a treat and actual feels really quite realistic. No regrets about this machine at all.BenB725

Have been using this for about a week or 2 now, and I must say, its a lot quieter than our tower fan that we have been using. (Kambrook tower fan). Fan settings go from 1-100, so far iv been using it between 10-20 for a light breeze at night. The mi home app can control turning left and right, the delayed turn off timer and notification sound. It's not completely silent as you can still hear the light whirl of the fans, but substantially quieter than the tower fan. Also surprisingly covers a wider than expected horizontal area. One thing I'd like to point out though is there are two heights – Desktop fan and standing fan, no I between, but has been fine so far with a small vertical tilt. TLDR: Worth the buy as long as you have a smartphone that can run the mi home app (most will).Shayshay95

This fan is a nice fan for a small room. What I like the best about this fan is how quiet it is. It does get a little loud when it is on the highest setting, but it is still quiter than most fans. The lower the speed setting, the quieter it is. There are five speeds, an oscillation, and a timer mode. The timer mode can be set for 1, 2, 4, and 8 hours. This fan doesn't cool very well since its speeds are so low. Even its highest speed setting is lower than I like. It doesn't cool a room very well unless the room is small. I like that it came with a remote, so I don't have to get up to turn it on or off. The slim design is nice since it doesn't take up that much space. It is sturdy for the most part, but it is easy for my kids to accidentally knock it over. The setup was easy and didn't require any tools.HannahSha

Honestly the best fan I have ever owned. Not only is it extremely quiet, it has so many other great things about it! This fan can cool your entire room! You can control the swivel if you want it faster, to turn and lock, slower, etc. It requires absoutely no tools to set up. (Perfect if your like me and own about 2). It was super easy to figure out! It has an auto timer, and dimming options for night time! Even comes equip with a handle if you want to take it to each room your in. (Pratically weighs nothing if you can't carry much.) I love everything about this fan, but my favorite part is it has a remote control! You can of course pre-set your timer to turn it off, but if you get hot in the middle of the night (or cold) you can switch it off with the remote rather than getting out of bed! A definite must have!Krae13

Honeywell has a large line in home climate controls. The QuietSet tower fan is very impressive for its overall size. The tower is narrow and takes up very little floor space. The top controls are easy to understand and use. The included remote control is definitely handy. There are 5 different speeds, a timer and rotation options.The fan is super quiet. Even on highest setting the noise is very low compared to high air circulation. The only piece I dont love is the base. While it does make the unit more modern looking, it just doesn't do it for me. Maybe it's only functionality is to give the fan more height to increase where the air reaches. While most people generally read instructions before using, at the very least read the tag attached. There is a red nut that needs to be removed from the fan bottom when you take it out of the box. Without it the fan will not stay on the base. The base also comes in 2 pieces you have to snap together. Again, I'm not a fan of this base. It seems like an afterthought and I really wish Honeywell opted for a solid attached base.Katz76

Fast shipping. Worth every penny. Near silent all night even without using the night setting.\nEasy assembly. Base's 2 parts snap together and twist onto the bottom of the fan. The little nubs on the bottom of the fan body fit into the slots of the base. Line up the wire's exit hole in the base with the rear of the fan. With a small twist it snugs onto the fan. Make sure the wire runs out of the fan through the center hole of the base and through the opening in the bottom of the base towards the rear of the fan. Easier done than explained. No tools required. Don't forget to remove the remote. It's wrapped with the wire. 2 AA req'd. May operate on the same frequency as your fireplace remote. Unplug the fireplace for the summer.Joseph

No tools needed to assemble. This is my 3rd lasko tower fan but without the ionizer and without that little slider lifter that can adjust the airflow to go up or down. This one shoots air straight forward and rotates at the push of the button. It's got a a timer with many hrs to choose from. I personally think its quite enough to run on high speed and sleep. It has a remote control that can hang on the back. I have 1 of 2 of the hottest rooms in the house and it works great.Bunchu

Definitely not dissatisfied with making this purchase. The fan blows out great quality control breeze on either setting. The remote control is an added pleasure to turn off, on, rotate or breeze level wanted at the time of use. The slim wood grain feature adds elegance to my living room as it blends in with furniture color scheme. A 100 percent five star review for my wants and needs.Frances

The legs have never stayed on . I'm constantly having to unscrew the plastic bolt out then lay the fan down put legs back in trying to keep them from popping out as I'm confusing reassembling the floor legs and tighten this back in. Now I'm down to leaning it on something to.prevent fall overs at night. Don't want it to break totally, or new an electric a fire hazard . And all this , That defeats most of the fans purpose of total air flow being clear . I didn't get around to shipping it back in time, because I'd physically have to go stand in line at post office where I live. There are No mail returns from my apt complex and no FedEx or UPS in my town it's more than 20 miles away. We are in a virus pandemic. I'm a breast cancer and lymes patient. Scary to go out anywhere that requires you have to stand in line in public to return things that don't work right !!!. Just informed this week my apartment complex of 60 has 4 quarantined renters with covid ( just great!!) Really wanted this product to be a succeed. In all my years shopping with QVC I've only returned 3 items and been disappointed in less than 6 out of hundreds. I bought this based on the companies reputation . At 63 years of age , I'm not into buying anything that won't last . My apartment runs hot , located with large windows facing the South in addition.. the cancer med I'm on messes with my hormones and causes excessive heat in my body and top that with having to wear a full face sleep apnea machine mask to breath while I sleep . I have A.C. But need something to circulate the air in my bedroom. I live in the Midwest and don't turn my thermostat on until it's below zero outside , because it just stays hot in the apartment, I was so looking forward to gaining some physical relief from this fan, my objective was to have it standing right next to my king bed on the side I sleep on. But because the legs don't hold the fan up without coming out I have now leaned the circulator fan against a leg on a small trampoline I leaned against my closet doors so the back of the fan can still pull air through. Believe me it took weeks to try different ways to get into a leaning on something not to fall and still blow towards me during sleep. If I move the fan to get in my closet I have to start all over fanagling, it to stand up again. I just wanted something quiet ( which it is) not giant to fit in a path to my bed that stands up on its own ( that's basic which it does not .Qvcshopperforlife21

I heard so much about varnado fans. I finally bought this one. However, the heigh adjuster was stuck as soon as i finished putting it together so the fan is stuck at max height. The quality of this product is really bad. it's exactly what you would find in a cheap plastic fan. What's worse is they have prepared nothing to help customers during a pandemic, despite me telling me that i live with people in high risk category, their solution was to go to the store. i understand the products can be defective, but a company that can't be compassionate towards their customers during a time like this can't have good ethical practices otherwise. Anyways, i wouldn't recommend this product.Sumit

I love this fan a friend of mine introduced me to this master piece! I can save some money by turning off the A/C unit. This fan is worth every penny. I ordered a second one for my living room.Lattea

Honestly this is just a piece of garbage the fan is so cheaply made… trust me you don’t want to buy this fan if you do decide to buy it you will regret it lol.Angela

The reviews were mixed, so i hesitated on buying this fan. I am glad that i did. The control is great. other reviews said the fan rattles but is does NOT rattle at all. my last fan was loud, this one is not. Puts out a good amount of air , perfect in the primary suite. Just buy it, its worth the price and the features are greatLoveToOrganizeThings

I wanted something to supplement my airflow and keep me from having to use my AC unit so much during this time the assembly was extremely easy it provides an oscillation that immediately cools the airJackie

My cream standing fan just arrived, took two minutes to assemble, and is working like a dream. Visually stunning, really quiet and so cool. I’m so relieved I ordered it when I did, it took 3 days to get to me, I’m super impressed! Thank you for great service and a fabulous fan..Di R.

I recently purchased a second of these fans having bought one about six years ago. Just as good and effective. However I had problems with one part of the assembly. The four screws which hold the fan in place have to be removed to fit the fan. I found that very difficult, indeed impossible, using a standard Phillips screwdriver. Fortunately my neighbour is an engineer with a range of screwdrivers and he was able to help me. I suspect the average person, such as myself would struggle with what should be an easy task.Robin B.

Hi I was very excited to purchase this product as its such a reputable brand. Firstly I was promised that it would be next day delivery I ordered on Thursday morning and didn't receive it till Tuesday because of the poor service from Hermes. Secondly eventually when it did arrive the box had been taped up and it was clear to see it had been returned on top of that when I opened the fan it had all finger prints on it. So I was sold a used product when I thought I was buying a new one. I'm very disappointed I just hope its going to be OK and worried why it was returned and then resold.Awais A.

This baby moves a ton of air. I leave it on low next to my bed and it's very quiet…..even on high it's not very loud.Very slick design- I'm very happy with this one.braves37871

Easy to install and perfectly great ventilation air. like the weight that is light weight. and you can move it upright to the top for air . you can move it easy to another place …gerarda8126

I would definitely recommend this fan to help cool off when the ac isn't cutting it. This fan is definitely powerful even on the lowest setting. The remote is an excellent feature that definitely makes for easy adjusting between feeling too cool or too hot. I had no trouble with the grills and putting them together like some other reviewers said. The base not being attached to the pedestal for moving from one place to another is slightly off putting but it goes right back in place after moving and has stayed sturdy and in place each time we've moved it. Not to mention makes storing it easier if you need to. The 4 speeds are great and there is one reviewer on here that said something along the lines of higher setting will blow leaves off the trees and he's not wrong lol. The oscillating feature is also nice as well as being able to tilt the head at different angles. Overall great fan. One thing no one in other reviews that I read mentioned is that when turning it on, it always starts at highest speed for a second before going to set speed you had it on. Don't know why it does that as it seems it would be harder on motor but so far it hasn't bothered us enough to matter and has exceeded all other fans we have tried in terms of power, quietness and having a remote control so it really checks all the important boxes.Stephanie Z

Fan cools very well. I normally use a box fan for white noise as I sleep but this one is a tad loud for that. I prefer the metal exterior of this to the plastic box fans I had been looking at. Great price for a great fan.macla_3240

Much more than a mere Fan. This moves High Volumes of Air, around, or In/Out, of rooms, or entire Homes, when properly set-up . Think along the lines of a Home Sized, Wind Machine. It works great on clearing rooms, or entire Homes of stuffy, or hot air. This is not a quiet a fan to use while trying to watch TV at low sound levels. It's a Brute of a Fan, that considering the quality of construction, is a bargain, for how much hot, or stuffy sir it can displace from a Home, or Workshop. It's well worth the Price I paid. And it also is great for getting rid of burnt smells that occasionally come from pans, or cooking sheets, in the oven. Just open a nearby door, and a window, or other door, and it will quickly move the annoying heat, or smoke from the areas effected. This is no meek, light breeze style of Fan. This is a near Professional Grade Air Circulation Device. I whole heartedly recommend it's purchase, and use. I have another lightweight quieter box type. For times when a mere fluff of air is enough.w_a_m_2005

Edmonton was hit with a lot of rain in a very short time and my sub pump wasn’t able to keep up. Well it overflowed and soaked carpets in two adjoining rooms. We had around 2-4 inches of water. By the time we removed the contents, pulled the carpet and under lay and bought a bigger pump (from 1/3 to 1/2 hp) all the industrial fans you could rent in town were taken. Seems everyone was dealing with flooding. Both by pumps and floor drains. Checking online yes I found some but I couldn’t wait 5 days, others I could get same day but we’re $200+ so I checked Lowe’s and found this one. After reading reviews it seemed like it might do the trick. So I bought two and crossed moly fingers. Yes I can hear them (sound like propellers) throughout the house on highest level but they are doing the job! Had them running almost a full 24h with no problem. Still going strong and drying the cement floor and wood trim. Can barely see any moisture on the floor joists. Can I say pleasantly surprised?! I’m really thankful for these. Bought two for $120 and could still use as a regular fan if I wanted later on. Great product. Would definitely recommend to a friend.MGEM

Not bad for the price. It’s design, as a standing fan, is relatively compact. The fan I got, doesn’t look like the first picture shown. This item has 5 different photos of different fans. Not sure why for one fan. The 5th picture, is the fan I received. The controls are beside the oscillating lever. Making for a slimmer stand. Grate is made entirely of plastic, as opposed to metal. And snaps together, rather than the traditional tabs keeping them in place. Setup was pretty simple. Took me about 10min. At max setting, the force of the air is about average for a fan at this price range. Not strong, but also not bad. It does the job. I usually keep mine at setting 1 (of 3). Noise of the fan isn’t as loud as my last one. But it isn’t quiet either. At about a foot away, it’s 60dB. At 6 feet away, it’s 50dB. Overall, this fan is acceptable for the price. How long it will last, is yet to be determined. If I can get at least a couple of years out of this, I’ll be satisfied. My only gripe about this fan, is the controls. It’s a knob. It starts at 0 (Off), then goes to 3, 2, then 1. So I have to keep turning the knob all the way to get to the lowest setting. That’s kind of a dumb setup. Preferred it go 0, 1, 2, 3.Guss

The Comfort Zone 3-Speed 16-inch Oscillating Pedestal Fan was easy to have up and running from unboxing. This fan oscillates and has three speed controls to adjust the flow of air however I want it. It also can tilt to angle the air flow exactly where it's needed. This fan cooled off a fairly large area and was really efficient. You can adjust the angle of the fan head and the height as well to direct air precisely where you want it. The base folded very easily and this fan is compact enough to store easily when not in use. The fan was fairly quiet and powerful. Highly recommendwogsll34

I am very glad I got this fan. I have limited table top space, so something on the floor was needed. The size is just fine for helping cool my 100sq ft bedroom. I don't often use the oscillation so I can't really comment on that: it works fine. The head is a little floppy and to click it up and down, I hold onto the stem and the back of the fan and click it up or down carefully. If I don't do it carefully it feels delicate like it might break, but I can't say for sure because it hasn't yet. I keep it aimed at the middle of my double-sized bed, so a sleeper on each side can feel its breeze. I keep it 1, the lowest speed, and that's enough. It is not noisy, it is attractive. It's foot profile is low enough that the feet on one side can fit underneath the bottom of a small bookcase I have in the bedroom; it takes up less space that way.CrowBreeze

Returning this fan. For a few reasons- one being the amount of sound coming from the motor is higher then other fans I’ve owned. I spoke with Lasko customer care and they said they don’t measure the fans in decibels but I hope they would. It’s a deal breaker for a fan that I need for sleeping and also I’m audio-sensitive. Secondly, it’s output of air is huge! The low is like a typical high speed. I just needed something to circulate the air, not lower the temperature in the house. Overall, its great quality and easy to assemble and customer care with the company was amazing!!! Just too loud and strong for our purpose.MaZenVibes

The biggest problem with this fan is that it makes an incredible amount of noise with almost no air flow. I had to stand just inches from the fan in order to feel any kind of real air. The other problem I had is that the cage around the blade is plastic which snaps together. I take my fans apart every few months to wipe down the blades. I would be afraid to take the cage off this fan for fear of the tabs that snap into the back section would break after a short time. IMHO all in all this fan should be sent back to the drawing board. The only thing good about it is the height of the stand.Michelle

Can’t really rate because housing covering motor was cracked on one side. Got the stand set up and took the motor part out of the bubble wrap, sat it on the pole and then saw the big crack on the one side of the fan . It was so bad that I knew it was going to continue to fall apart in that side. My box wasn’t beat up at all so looks to me like it was sent that way to start with. My previous Lasko fan like this one had lasted me about 8-10 years and still ran and blew great it just kept changing speeds itself and became a little scary. This one seemed more cheaply made. Not as solid. Definitely cheaper plastic. Returning it and now I’ll have to do w/out a fan again as it’s winter and can’t just go pick one up somewhere.lesa

This fan has saved us from sweating all night in bed. This summer has been so hot and hard to keep the cold air circulating. The fan has a remote I can operate without having to get up, which is great for bedtime usage and changing settings throughout the night.Amyeve13

This Hurricane Supreme 16 Inch Oscillating Stand Fan with Remote Control is perfect. It is easy to install it and it is very quiet. It has easy options for high, medium and low speed and provides a cooling breeze. It is easy to adjust the height and it can easily be locked in one position. The settings are easy to adjust with the remote control. It has a nice sturdy base, and the fan circulates the air nicely through the room without a lot of noise. This fan is well made and of excellent quality. It has a very nice air flow and keeps the area cool. I highly recommend this fan.Hendrika

My room is the warmest in the house because it's the farthest away from our split heating system. I put this near my open door for some additional cool air and it's perfect. I get just the right amount of circulation without feeling cold.Immortalb4

Currently I love this fan, because you can fold it up into a compact shape and take it with you and the best part is that it will run on batteries. It's also nice that you can raise and lower the fan so that it can function like a desk fan or a fan that you sit in the corner of your office to keep your head cool. Also for its size it puts out quite a bit of air pressure. Enough that when I have my headsets on I can hear the wind through the headsets. One thing I didn't like about the fan though is that it didn't come with a charger. Instead it uses a USB cable and then you can use that to plug into your phone charger or laptop/computer.Jereome

I love this little fan. It WORKS exactly as advertised. I can carry it all over the place and it has good output. A charge lasts me a long time. Exactly what I needed for my stuffy office space.tsmith21114

Boy was I pleasantly surprised with the power and convenience of this fan ! Right out of the box I was amazed at how small it folded up and thought about how easily it can be stored. Opening it up is easy…just pull it apart and it opens right up. You can leave it small for a desk top or table or open it up as a floor stand fan. Charging it is easy…just used my usb cable that I use for my phone. I set it up in the bedroom and it was reasonably quiet and for its size it produces a good breeze. The charge made it thru the night. Even my wife was amazed at how powerful and convenient this fan is. This fan takes up little space when folded up and can be taken anywhere. I highly recommend it.BOBMERCU

I love this fan!! I got it for my bedroom cause sometimes I crawl in bed and forgot to turn on the fan so I love that it has a remote! I have 3 boys and now they each want one lol. I wish it was a little bit more louder lol but you can hear it really good just not too loud and the air flow is strong and awesome!!mamawanda

I jumped at the chance to own this fan at a 50% discount price on Ebay. The fan was easy to assemble. I had it assembled in twenty minutes. I had a tough time with the remote. It took me twenty-five minutes to open the latch in the back of the remote control to insert the battery. I did not want to break it. Eventually I did get the remote control open. This is an exceptional fan. There are times I forget it is on because it is so quiet. A couple times I almost forgot to turn it off when I was leaving my home. I looked over at the fan and I saw it oscillating. The fan blows air througout the room keeping you comfortable. I love the 26 or more options for air speed. I am really intrigued by the "Natural" air feed option which blows high, then low, then medium at random. Very unique. The only aspect I wish Avalon would changed about this fan is when you turn off the fan on the setting which it was on it will not come on again at that setting. It will default to the company setting of "10". When you turn the fan on again you have to change the settings back to your preference. You should definitely consider the Avalon High Velocity 16-inch fan. It is somewhat expensive at its regular retail price but if you want quality it is a great investment.tterry17

Heavy Duty fan is not real quiet since it moves such a high volume of air, it seems to be well made. I have added a remote since it is on a shelf near the top of a 22 X 40 steel garage.stormy10953

Moves air well but a bit noisy. I put it in front of my sliding door once it cools off outside and it cools the house in no time.Deidre

Powerful, even at the lowest setting. The circulating air feels like you are out in the open air with a nice breeze, it doesn't feel like it's blowing straight at you which is really nice. Pretty quiet overall. I would recommend it. I am very happy I got it, you can absolutely feel the difference when you compare with regular fans. No assembly required, ready for use out of the box. Portable, easy to move from room to room.patty

Fan is OK… but very noisy !! Seems cheaply constructed. Not worth the price at all. I picked it up to move it and the front fell off !! Do not like the 3 speeds. My old Vornado had a variable speed control and was Super Quiet !!CocoBear

This fan is obviously made of good quality materials; it is logically designed; simple to operate; moves a lot of air similar to a ceiling fan; precisely aim-able; not too heavy; and small enough to stow on a standard depth closet shelf. Cons: it's slightly louder/larger/heavier/less convenient, than my old Vornado model CR01-0012 type 610, which, by the way, is still working fine after many summers of use.Jayhawker

I should have listened to the negative reviews. If you're looking for a fan that you gotta put 6 inches from your face to feel any sort of breeze on the highest setting, then go for it. Otherwise, spend a few more dollars and get a fan that actually works. Not only does it not blow, but the air is actually warm. Like, the fan itself gets warm. 0/10, would never recommend to a friend. Also it doesn't blow continuously, if that makes sense. It's like waves of air, but like waves of someone blowing on your face from across a great distance. The motor is also pretty loud for something that's 1) supposed to be quiet and 2) does not provide airflow. Mine started whistling after a few days of use.Display name

I've had this fan for three months and I love it so much. It is the best and most beautiful fan we have ever had. First, it has a small footprint and is so elegant and well designed that it can sit anywhere in the room, even on top of the coffee table, and look beautiful and unobtrusive. The fan is brilliantly designed and easy to move. You can easily hold onto the top of the fan with one hand (there is a smooth little ledge, like a handle), and you place your other hand into the opening in the stand, which is also smooth and pleasant to grasp. The open stand is lightweight, well balanced, and never falls off. The controls on the top of the unit are intuitive and easy to use. Tap one button to turn it on; tap another button to activate the rotation; tap a third button to change the speed. When you touch the speed button, a blue light will move up and down to show you the level. This blue light goes off as soon as you finish setting the speed, so it doesn't keep you awake all night. The fan also saves the current speed setting, so the next time you turn on the fan, you're good to go. The rotation is smooth, gentle, and even, and it makes a smoothly textured, whisper-quiet sound–even at the highest setting. Best of all, it creates a smooth, silken-soft breeze that moves evenly around the room and cools people off even on a blazing hot humid day (we do not have an air conditioner–this is all we use). Regular fans make a noisy, turbulent blast of air. The wind from this fan is as gentle and steady as a real breeze, and much more cooling than a regular fan. The remote control is also intuitively designed and easy to use even in the dark. As soon as I realized how good this fan was, I bought a second one. I just wish I had discovered it years agoMukti

This fan is a nice fan for a small room. What I like the best about this fan is how quiet it is. It does get a little loud when it is on the highest setting, but it is still quiter than most fans. The lower the speed setting, the quieter it is. There are five speeds, an oscillation, and a timer mode. The timer mode can be set for 1, 2, 4, and 8 hours. This fan doesn't cool very well since its speeds are so low. Even its highest speed setting is lower than I like. It doesn't cool a room very well unless the room is small. I like that it came with a remote, so I don't have to get up to turn it on or off. The slim design is nice since it doesn't take up that much space. It is sturdy for the most part, but it is easy for my kids to accidentally knock it over. The setup was easy and didn't require any tools.HannahSha

This small room Atom Tower Compact Oscillating fan is very nice.It design would work in any decor . It appears well made with quality materials.The plus is that it can be a table top fan for individual use or converted by using the included base to become an oscillating fan for the whole room. It is easy to use with 4 speeds touch control on the top. My husband said it worked super well in the garage, where he was working, moving a lot of air.and kept him cool Recommend to family and friends.Maryanne

I like the fan. It's decently quiet, especially on the 1 and 2 settings. I always have fans on the highest settings, and this one is fine with me as far as noise goes. My issue is, no remote? It being on a stand, I'd assume people would be placing these on a corner, right? So, no fan to change settings? At least with how fancy the design is, that they'd have Bluetooth involved. But nothing. The touch controls on top take some time to master, and even still I have trouble working them.Santi

I got and have been using this fan for about 5 days now and am impressed with how much air it can put out to keep my bedroom so cool. I also like that on the 1 or 2 setting, it runs really quiet. On the higher settings, it makes noise to help me sleep and drowns out the outside noise that I don't want to hear all night. In other words, it's perfect. I don't mind that there isn't a remote because I use smart plugs throughout my home and have the app on my phone to turn it on and off. This oscillating fan would make the perfect house-warming gift for any home.TeeMak50

Could not get the fan/motor head part to stay on the stand. It also arrived with broken fan blades probably because someone else had the same problem and blades broke when it fell off the stand. Extremely disappointed because it is supposed to be a BlackSteelergirl127

This fan is nothing special just a basic fan that does what it supposed to. The remote seems to be made out of the cheapest plastic money can buy. If you just need a basic fan for a low price this one will work for youKreamedcorn

I bought two of these fans. They only lasted about a year. The plastic fan guard on the front is wire but on the back it is plastic. After one season the plastic absolutely crumbled in my hands while cleaning. I ran them for another week or so without the guards and then the blades stopped spinning when I turned it on. It didn't have the guards on by then so I would start it by spinning it by hand. That lasted a few days and then both fans died. Beware. Had to replace both fans with Lasko fans. We'll see how those last.Cindy

Positives: 1) Highest setting pushes more air than Honeywell Quietset. 2) The base of the fan doesn't smell as bad as others but still smells a little. 3) Has buttons instead of Holmes twisting mechanism to turn on the fan. 4) Has clips for the grill instead of a plastic ring or screws. 5) Height adjustment is easy to use. Negatives: Needs better manufacturing and higher quality parts: 1) Like other fans the base uses what looks like solidified industrial waste. Mine was chipping small rocks so I had to brush it a bunch to make sure none of it would come off on carpet. 2) Another review complained they couldn't assemble it and that's because the metal rod for the stand needs to be pulled up. This is not obvious in the instructions. 3) The grill had manufacturing defects and had 1/8 inch gaps when trying to put it on with the other half. 4) This was my biggest issue, the fan smells like motor oil when running. Google search suggested that this was because the motor had too much oil in it and during operation it gets heated and sent out. I left my fan alone for a week hoping it would dry a little but the smell was still there. The fan really needs a better odorless motor so the room doesn't smell like motor oil after use. Overall, really good design, and good speeds, but the smell and defects make it unuseable. Hopefully black and decker will get a better manufacturer.Alias

For the simple fact that the most important part of a remote control fan, the remote, did not work upon arrival would be my reason alone to not recommend this to anyone. B&D said they would send me another remote but there has no even been a ticket confirmation since the phone call. The fan works as you would expect, height variation and tilting are all great. The picture above show 2 different fan models and different remotes but I am sure they are the same thing, just rather confusing. This review is simply based on simple things that I believe would have completely changed my experience with this purchase.michael25

I have been trying the new 18 inch Black Stand Fan and absolutely love it! It's a Black and Decker 18 inch stand fan that really puts out the wind. It's great! It has three speeds with a shut off timer. It also has a remote that makes it so easy use. I love that. It's perfect anywhere in the house and oscillates too. I will be getting myself another one just because I love it and keeps my home nice and cool. Thank you Black and Decker for the opportunity to try this product.Sam06
