Amazon Basics 16" DC Motor Fan, 12 Speed Fan with Remote, Floor Fan, Standing Fan with 3 Breeze Modes, Dual-Layered Blades (10 Blades), Timer, Energy Efficiency and Quiet DC Motor (28W), White

This fan is awesome its quiet but very efficient and producing airflow. I like that it's sleek and the cage is made out of metal so it's a quality product. Plus it comes with a remote.

The media could not be loaded. My son accidentally broke my pedestal fan, so I needed a new one. Based on the good reviews this one had, I decided to purchase it, and I'm glad I did.I just received and assembled the fan. It was very easy to assemble, however, the assembly instruction booklet has an error I need to point out. On assembly step 5, it indicates you need to connect front guard (part A) with rear guard (part D). Part D is actually the small fan blade. Part B is the rear guard. See images from instruction booklet.There is a decent amount of weight to it. It's not flimsy at all. I like the fan size and the fact that the blades are clear. I've never seen clear fan blades. The small fan blades are white.I purchased the 12 speed setting one, but I feel I didn't really need so many speeds because setting #1 is sufficient right now. From a distance of about 10', my vertical blinds are swaying from the breeze and the fan isn't facing them directly. I'm sure when it gets hot, I'll use the higher settings, but for now, setting #1 gets the air moving and provides a gentle breeze. I tested it on setting #12 and it's very strong! It has quite a bit of power! This fan is very quiet in the lower settings, but gets louder at the higher ones.The remote is easy to operate. It requires two triple A batteries which are not included. I love the fact that it has a timer function. Sometimes I don't want the air on me all night.I don't think I'll regret this purchase.EDIT: I had to take off one star because each time I turn the fan on or off, it makes a bit of a clunk sound. I feel like it's going to fall apart. It only makes the sound the moment I push the power button on or off. Once it's on, it doesn't continue making the sound until I turn it off. I just took a video so you can hear it.Also, for those who say they don't like the beep when turning it on or changing the settings, you can turn the beep off. On the remote, you press and hold the oscillating button for around 3 seconds.Edit #2: I disassembled and reassembled the fan. It seems to have worked - no more clunking sound - so I'm upping it back to 5 stars.

I'm very impressed with the excellent quality build of this fan. The base is stable and solid, the fan guards are made of metal which contributes to it being quieter than most others using the plastic cages. The double fan blade design definitely improves the air movement and makes this a fan that really runs quietly. The process of attaching it together included well thought out fastenings, like securing the base to pole with a knob screw (as opposed to just "seating it" by pushing into a plastic base), the knurled screws to secure the pole for height and mounting the control panel assembly to the pole are metal, and the last step to fasten the fan guards together uses a metal screw as well. Over all, the instructions were clear, well illustrated and easy to follow. I was able to assemble this and had it running within 15 minutes, no problems whatsoever.The function of this fan is phenomenal, with excellent air flow. There are many options for controlling its operation, and these all can be accessed by either the remote or the control panel mounted on the fan's pole. Oscillation can also be controlled from the remote on this unit. I am delighted with this fan and hope it lasts many years. Now that's a fan!

We’ve had this for about half an hour now, and we’ve already decided it’s getting thrown back in Amazon’s face. I don’t appreciate having my time wasted like this.I wish I’d seen bill m’s fairly comprehensive review of this fan’s inflated specs. Unfortunately, this appears to be a design/implementation issue rather than a fault with his.or my fan - this 24-speed fan really *is* as 12-speed in real life. That’s not as advertised, and it’s so blatant that it’s a lie - you can just listen to the pitch of the fan blade noise to know that speeds 1 and 2 are as identical as makes no difference, same goes for 3 and 4, 5 and 6, etc. Just because the number on the display changed, that doesn’t mean that’s a new speed. It’s such a bald-faced, outright lie.If this were its only fault, I’d consider keeping it. After all, there’s enough of a range in 12 speeds to be useful. However, because there are 12 dummy speed settings, each actual change needs two clicks of the control wheel or two taps of the remote button rather than one. That’s going to get annoying *real* fast.Worse, the beep that accompanies each speed change (even the ones that don’t do anything) is ridiculous. It’s not even a small, unobtrusive beep, either - it’s seriously loud, and this thing will end marriages if you put it in a bedroom and dare to adjust it at night.Speaking of the beep, the control wheel is hilariously bad. The fan beeps on each Ned speed setting, so turning the wheel from one end of the speed range to the other results in an endless beeeeeeeeeeeeeeep so long as the wheel is turned. I have no clue who thought this was a good idea, but if the individual beeps are likely to end marriages, then this is going to get someone killed in a fit of rage.And it gets better. Instead of being limited at the bottom end of the speed range, the control wraps around. If the speed is currently at the fastest setting, then attempting to increase it either with the dial or the remote results in it dropping to the lowest speed before increasing. You could take the view that this is a quick way to go from min to max speed or vice verse, but it has a very important and annoying result that you can’t turn the fan up to full blast by cranking on the dial until it stops - you have to take note of the setting and stop at the right time. Ugh.And to add insult to injury for the speed settings, the fan forgets what it was last set to when turned off. Say you have it turned down and turn it off, then decide a bit later to turn it back on. VROOOOM! Straight to setting 18.It’s truly impressive how many faults they’ve managed to pack in to a single feature. It’s like they deliberately worked at making it this bad, as I don’t see how it’s possible to accomplish this by accident.Finally, build quality is nearly non-existent. A height-adjustable stand sounds like a good thing, but this is so flimsy that if I were to keep it, I’d leave at its bottom setting; the thing weeble-wobbles around like crazy at any higher setting.Edit: perhaps 8 spoke too soon by saying “finally” - this thing obviously knew it wasn’t long for this world and decided to finish with a flourish. I went to check the claimed power draw with my trusty kill a watt, and it’s dead. When the power button is pushed, the fan blades jerk by about an eighth of an inch at the tips, then the display turns off again. It knows it’s headed back to the mothership, and it’s done cooperating.When it worked, it was reasonably quiet, though it was a little weaker than I’d like at full chat. However, it lasted for all of about an hour before it died. I suppose I might have known - I was looking for a replacement for our old infinitely-adjustable vornado that died after about 12 years of daily use, but I’ve been scared off vornado about a year ago after a really bad experience with one of their then-new DC fully adjustable fans. They’re still solid, but the motor noise was unacceptable for what is a premium-proiced product. I suppose this serves as a lesson in not knee-jerking too far in the opposite direction.Utter garbage.
