Reviewed in the United States on September 29, 2015
I am in the process of moving to a new apartment (almost complete...yay). One of the few things I was disappointed with in my new apartment was the lack of a ceiling fan (or overhead light fixture) in the bedroom. So I knew I had to buy a fan. It's the off season for buying fans, so I didn't have many choices locally. I did my comparison shopping on Amazon, and decided on this one, based on reviews.
When I received the box, I opened it, and saw I was going to need a phillips head screwdriver, and that was all the tools needed. The fan part of it comes as one big piece. All you have to put together is the pedestal and base, and then screw the cord clip in to hold your cord in the correct spot so the cord comes out of the notch and doesn't get in the way of it sitting flat. It took me a total of about 10 minutes from the time I pulled it out of the box until it was plugged in and running.
The fan is pretty quiet for the amount of air flow it provides. There is a bit of a clicking sound sometimes if you have it on oscillate, but it's a sound you can very easily get used to. The 3 fan speeds are spot on. Low is a nice gentle breeze, medium is just about perfect for sleeping, and high gives a strong wind that is very cooling, but not so much to blow things around.
The remote control works well, but my fan is close enough to the bed that I won't likely ever need to use it. There is, however, a space in the back of the fan where you can store the remote so it won't get lost.
I doubt I'll ever need any of the other features (sleep mode, timer, breeze mode) but it's nice to have them if I want them.
Overall, I'm very pleased with this purchase.
