I have had 5 of these fans and every one burned out the main fan bearing. There must be a fatal design flaw. Chuck Hird
This fan is not worth much. I guess that is why they are so cheep. My job purchased 22 fans and more than 50% are not working after 9 months after purchased! I do plan to use the 3yr warranty for this product! I agree, we get what we pay for, however the problems associated with this product such as insuficiant hardware or missing hardware to put this together and 3 of these fans burning out shortly after use and the rest later during 9 months, should not be happening! The manufacture must take a good long look at their product before putting out to general public if they want a good review!
When i got this fan and was putting it togther i was noticing that all of the parts were plastic and that the fan was cheeply made. When i turned the fan on i was very dissapointed because it did not move hardley any air, I thought that it might be becaust of how small it is. But i have a 12in table fan (that is the same size) and it moves twice as much air. I have another windmere fan and it doesnt move hardley any air either.
Fan works fine, is small and not intrusive into room space and is admirably quiet even at medium speed (significant other dislikes fan noise at night and quiet operation is thus essential). I would have given it a higher rating if it moved more air; although I recognize it is a small fan and has an inherently lower cfm output than larger fans.
YOu get what you pay for with this fan. I plugged it in and five minutes later noticed the motor start burning and smell hot. IT then blew. NOW THE FAN WONT EVEN GO ON AND ITS NOT WORTH RETURNING FOR 15 bucks!
