HurricaneOscillating Pedestal Stand Fan for Home & Bedroom, 16" Supreme, White - Portable Standing Electric Fan for Indoor & Outdoor Cooling

This is the best oscillating fan I have ever owned. It is very heavy duty and of excellent quality. It is quiet with a very soothing sound. I am in love with the remote control! If sitting up in bed I can just use my remote to turn off and on and to even change the speed from low to medium to high. I am thinking of getting another one. I am age 77 and put it together by myself so it is easy to assemble. The air coming out is so cool and I can't say enough about this fan! I highly recommend it!

I have wanted to get a pedestal fan for use on my Florida lanai and also indoors. After reviewing numerous Amazon listings I chose this one based on reviews, price, features. It arrived well packaged and relatively easy to assemble. The written directions aren't great but the schematic is easy to follow. The positives are it's very quiet, the remote works well, it's high quality, it's attractive, it moves a lot of air with 3 speeds, it rotates or can be stationary. The negatives are at maximum height it's a bit top heavy, the low speed should be lower (even some distance from me it's strong), cord is too short (I use a heavy duty extension). I have only been using it for a few weeks so can't comment on longevity. To date in very hot Florida summer on an un-air conditioned Lanai I am very satisfied.

The media could not be loaded. My first order came in with a broken button that snapped off that controls the oscillation of the fan, I immediately sent in a request for a replacement and I am taking this one back to return. The company VERY quickly sent me another fan. It only took minutes to put together. As a note, the white nut that holds the fan blade on, turn that to the RIGHT to get off initially to put on the fan blade, screw back on counterclockwise. That little bit threw me for a sec, but other than that, VERY easy to put together. Sound is key to us, we like the "white noise" at night and it makes a nice sound. It has 3 good speeds, oscillates nicely, raises higher if you need and has a small but sturdy base to it so it doesn't take up a lot of space. LOVE THE REMOTE too! I uploaded a video for anyone who would like to hear the sound on lowest speed. Might not do it justice but it does sound nice.

Pros:- PLENTY of air, even on Low!!! (I barely need to use Medium let alone the High mode except to possibly air out my hot room somewhat faster at night during a California heat wave.)- Nice, quality feel overall- The floor base is heavy which provides sturdy support (but almost too heavy)- Easy enough to put together with or without manual.- Remote works pretty well- Fan design is decent to look at, but nothing super fancy (could be a pro or con)Cons:- The cord is easily too short. Maybe 2-3 ft shorter than our 10-yr-old cheaper Lasko pedestal fan. (Expect the short cord to be dangling in the air if you don’t put the fan right next to the AC outlet without an extension cord.)- Low speed is a bit loud/powerful for the lowest setting, at least from what I am used to. All the speed modes have this constant propeller plane type of noise to them. But again, it pushes A LOT of air even on Low mode, and that I am used to a bit cheaper fans that are hardly noisy at all on Low. When setting this fan to its maximum height, the fan pushes back a bit even on Low. Also, the Low speed is between a quieter fans’ Medium & High mode. Honestly! (Either from blade noise or the motor noise, or both.)- The fan and remote buttons give off a high-frequency sound and can be irritating to hear all the time. You will know when someone is pushing the fans’ buttons, perhaps across the hall or another room depending upon how sound travels. You might wake someone with these beeps too! (I wish there was a way to turn the beep mode off! You listening, Hurricane?!)- I can tell this fan is going to be quite a bit heavier than previous models, especially due to the heavy base. Not a big deal for the average person like me, but the weight difference vs other pedestal fans is quite noticeable.- The plastic, removable remote holder is a bit flimsy, especially when you want to lower the fan, since the plastic remote holder attaches to the pole beneath the controls. It just feels cheap and unnecessary. (Might I suggest a DIY velcro job for this remote and set it on top next to the oscillation switch?! Hint hint!)- The all-metal grills, when put together, can sometimes cause an annoying metal vibration/rubbing sound even on Low mode. It happened when I first put the fan together in June, and again September after rinsing off the dust. Hurricane should have put some sort of dampener(s) on the contact points to prevent this. The vibration sound usually will go away if you take off the front grill and replace it slightly and rest as you go. I am sure one could install some dampeners, but I haven’t tried any myself.- Unless you are a small child/person, the fan controls on the unit itself will be blocked by the bottom portion of the blade grill; especially if fan is low to the ground. Just a minor annoyance really, but our cheaper Lasko fan didn’t have this design flaw! (Something I noticed after use this summer.)Installation:So, upon first setting up the fan out of the box and using it the first time, I had no issues. The only thing that kind of annoyed me was that the 2 metal grills would clearly be vibrating on one another when the fan would start up, but the vibrating grills would quickly quiet down after a second or two. I just had to realign the front metal grill a couple times to stop the vibration noise. Again, the fan worked fine, and it’s such a minor thing, but I am glad the minor grill noise stopped. I am used to fans with plastic grills, or a metal front that connects to a plastic back side grill. Since it’s a new fan, I just wanted it to be perfect haha. I guess if the metal grills make noise in the future, I could always put some sort of dampener between the two metal grills. I am guessing here that it’s a common thing with all metal fan grills, and not a knock on quality toward this specific brand or model.I just wish it was available in Black color. It says it has the color on this page on the last photo to scroll through up top. Although White color looked clean, and I wanted to try this brand for a change. I guess I am used to darker colored fans, so the White color stood out to me too much. It looks great, make no mistake, but that was how I felt.This would be the near perfect fan (for the price) if it had:- a longer cord (2-ft longer at least)- no button beeps (or ability to turn the beeps off)- a five blade design instead of the common three- a 5-speed selection where the lowest speed wouldn’t be quite as loud- a less heavy ground base that still provided good support so not to feel cheap or fall over- a less flimsy remote holder design choice- the Black color available as well!!!(Updated/Edited on Sept 5th 2022.)NOTE: This fan has held up really well in a near 90°F room during the summer in Southern California as a heat dome boils the area. This fan is an awesome alternative to using AC all the time, as well as being a great help to cooling down/airing out the 85-90°F room I sleep in before getting to bed later at night. It has been on maybe 20 hrs of the day if I am there and has held up wonderfully. It’s still pretty new, so I don’t expect it to break yet, but thank you Hurricane for this great fan for the summer months!)

Like I typically do, I bought this, and THEN I read the reviews! lolPeople were saying it is a good fan and very quiet! I fully agree with this! I keep it at about 50% of its max speed, and it’s more than enough for my apartment!The main complaint I see people reporting, is that the remote doesn’t work, or you have to be really close to the fan for it to work. I had this same problem when I first got it, but I replaced the battery in the remote and it worked fine from across the room! So, if you’re looking to buy one of these, you may wish to pick up a CR2032 battery, and replace it if the remote isn’t working.Other than that, great fan that is medium size, yet blows big!

This fan arrived just in time for our first heat wave of the season and it has been a godsend! It has pretty good power and does a good job of moving the stuffy air around and making it feel less stifling. There have been times I felt almost a little chilly because it blows so well! Definitely glad I decided on this particular fan, especially for the price. I checked some reviews for some others in a similar price range, and this one has overall pretty good reviews. And I would say I concur. So far, it’s been great! It was super easy to put together; has a remote, and does what it is supposed to do. I was going to buy a second one like the other one I have in my home I bought a few years ago, but this one was about $15 cheaper, so I took a chance. I’m not disappointed in my decision.

I had this fan out of box and working in less than 10 minutes. No batteries included for the remote. This is a quiet and strong fan. Lower setting is many others products too speed!
