3.0 out of 5 starsWorks Well For 1 Year
Reviewed in the United States on July 18, 2021
I purchased this fan and have run it almost constantly for the past two years. When I first got it, it blew really hard, but when it gets really dirty, it stops blowing nearly enough. It's not super loud, imo, but it does definitely make noise. I LOVE that it has a remote so that when I get hot in the middle of the night, I can adjust it without needing to get up. The oscillating feature works really well and when the fan is not dirty, it is VERY cooling (I made it through a NYC summer with this and no AC).
I've deep cleaned the fan two or three times in the time that I've had it. As other reviews have stated, it gets filthy inside (which is normal) and it's kind of a pain in the butt to take apart because it's really not made for it. I took the entire thing apart, front and back, and when it was freshly cleaned, it started blowing decently well again. It has been 2 months since the last cleaning and the fan is already back to barely blowing air. I purchased a 4-year protection plan with Asurion, which is great for me because I'm getting a gift card to buy a new fan.
If you're able to spend $50 and no more on a tower fan to use occasionally or you don't care if it lasts or not, this one will definitely work. If you only have $50 and need something to last a long time, get a protection plan for the extra $5 and it'll be covered when it craps out. If you have the extra money to spend and want something that will last a long time, I would recommend looking at something with a removable filter.
