**** PLEASE NOTE THAT I HAVE AN ERROR ON THE FUSE SIZE DUE TO RELYING UPON THE MANUAL LINKED TO THE FAN I PURCHASED. I corrected my review later on when I discovered this error.JUNE 15, 2025….ALSO, I thought I’d post my experience after purchasing a container of fuses, which unfortunately didn’t solve my problem. I can’t imagine getting a container of 15 bad fuses, I patiently tried each and every one of them and my fan was silent. I still give this fan 5 stars because I plugged it in and honestly don’t recall ever unplugging it until it had gotten cold outside, so I got more than my moneys worth out of it.I recall reading other reviews about the difficulty of being able to throughly clean this little fan, so I decided since mine quit I would look into taking it apart so it could be cleaned. It’s actually very easy and it can be put back together without any damage to the fan.There’s one tiny Phillips screw holding the front grill in addition to four built in clips on the front grill that snap into place when put together with the back grill. The first thing you should do is loosen the Phillips screw by going in from the back grill to where the screw sits on the inside of the grill rim. It doesn’t need to be completely removed, just unscrew it enough so that it is separated from the front grill and then leave the screw in its place so you can put back together after cleaning.Around the grill rim you’ll be able to see where the two pieces separate. I had to use a tiny regular screwdriver to slide in between the two grills and a flashlight helps to see the four different areas where they snap together. I was able to slide the screwdriver into each place and gently lift and let the clip move past and gently separate the two grill pieces as I went around the fan edge until I had the front grill removed so it could be cleaned easily. After cleaning just align the grills starting with the Phillips screw being lined up first and tighten slightly until you make sure the clips and brackets are in line and they should just snap back into place one at a time! I hope this helps those of you who still have your little fans going 😌⚠️❗️OF COURSE MAKE SURE THE FAN IS UNPLUGGED FROM ANY ELECTRICAL OUTLETS BEFORE ATTEMPTING THIS!!! 🚫Last May 2024 I purchased two of these little fans for personal use even though we have ceiling fans in every room in our house it’s still nice to have a nice little breeze all to yourself because not everyone has the same preferences especially when it comes to sleeping with a fan on.I found this one to be very close to ideal as far as noise level goes. In fact in my opinion it doesn’t make enough noise for me when I go to sleep but not everyone likes to hear the humming of a fan to lull them into sleep.For such a little fan it moves a lot of air. From the moment I received mine it was up and running 24/7 from early May throughout all of the Spring, Summer, Fall and all through Winter.I open my windows every day even in winter for 5-10 minutes just to get some fresh air in the house, so the little fans have been helpful for circulating the fresh air.I decided while I was going to use the air compressor to blow out the dust from my ceramic tower heaters and store them away, I would also blow the dust out from my fans at the same time.I plugged my fan in the other day and it wouldn’t turn on and I thought I had done something to it but realized that it’s more than likely a blow Fuse that’s located in the cord plug 🔌. It shouldn’t be so difficult to locate the correct fuse on Amazon (for a 2.5 Amp 125 Volt fuse) but every item I’ve looked at has a notice stating customers have returned, so I wish I could get some insight on which ones to purchase because it’s a huge hassle trying to send something back when there’s no UPS drop off locations near my home.Amazon please consider including an extra Fuse with this fan, or even possibly linking the correct fuse as a companion purchase with this fan.Most people are not accustomed to noticing they have a sliding door on their plug 🔌 for a fuse to go in. I’ll just be happy if that’s what’s wrong with my little fan 😊!!!!!!! UPDATE !!!!!!!PLEASE TAKE NOTICE THAT I HAVE LISTED AN INCORRECT SIZE FUSE ABOVE!!!Amazon needs to pull the manual connected to this item because that’s where I got the fuse size.THE CORRECT SIZE IS LISTED ON THE WHITE TAG ATTACHED TO MY CORD.It’s 5 Amp and 125 volts.Having the correct size definitely makes it much easier to find and purchase what I need to keep on hand!!I still think they should include an extra fuse.

Like everything else, simple fans are nowadays too expensive. When I started looking, the fan I liked was a very modern design, with a very high-tech look, like a drum. But it cost almost twice as much as this simple Amazon Basics fan, and if there are any real advantages of that other fan, they probably don't amount to much. I wanted a simple fan that I could set either on the floor or a table, and with three speeds. There are lots of fans with just two speeds, and I don't think that gives you enough choices. Fan noise needs to be judged relative to the air output and speed, and on this basis, this is a quiet fan. There is no way for me to know how long it will last. What I do know and can tell you is that this is a perfectly good fan for the size it is, and that the value is good. Ultimately, the value is always what matters most, and this fan is definitely a good value. Recommended.

This fan is so powerful! I bought this fan to help keep me cool at night because I am such a warm bodied sleeper. Even having my room set at 67, I still get hot when I sleep. So I bought this fan to help keep my room colder and let me tell you.. this fan's range is amazing!! I have it on my desk blowing towards my bed and even at a good distance, I still feel the fan breeze on me. I used to sleep with a large fan blowing on me while i slept for many years and I loved the soft sound of the fan too while i slept. This fan on the lowest setting is actually pretty quiet and is very soothing to hear. I only use the first setting of level 1 while I sleep and it blows really far and well all night. The size is pretty decent too as it doesn't take up much room on my desk.

This is my first time trying this fan that arrived today. It is crazy powerful for such a small fan. I did a test on it, by putting it on my kitchen counter.Level 3, I went across the room about 18 feet, and it blew my hair and was plenty cool.Level 2 was still blowing very well at 12-15 feet.Level one blew comfortably at 7-10 feet. I saw that a few people said it didn't last long. As for me, I'd would buy it every couple of months if that's as long as it last.At this price point, it would be worth it to me. The only reason for the 4 stars is that it doesn't tilt downward very much but that is not a game changer to me. I would definitely recommend this fan.

As good as the far more expensive brand! I used Vornado fans exclusively for years, because the quality was so high and the performance was excellent. I needed a smaller version for a specific location and Vornado was sold out, so I bought one of these little fans for cheap thinking it would be better than nothing until the Vornado was back in stock. To my astonishment, it is equal to the Vornado in performance in every way. I still have that fan, and have purchased a few more for other locations, and one to keep in my car in case I go somewhere too hot (most houses here do not have AC, and I overheat easily. It is easy to transport. Small, but mighty!

No issues. Turned it on max setting as soon as receiving. A standard basic fan that can also work under computer monitors which is what I intend to use it for. Blows air strongly.I purchased the smaller fan and it's larger than expected (in a good way.) The blades are nearly edge to edge meaning the shroud isn't taking up 20% or more of the housing.There isn't any automatic movement feature but that's ok for the price and it looks to be decently built. Nice stold base.My only gripe is that the controls are to the rear of the fan, and not easily manipulated one handed.
