1780 Tower Fan, Sophisticated Brushed Metal with Remote Control

Just got my Miallegro 1780 fan. Installation was quite easy. It took me about 5 minutes. Basically, you unscrew, put the base on, and screw 6 bolts back. There was nothing else to be done.Compared to a regular fan, it is relatively quiet. But it is not super quiet as some of the comments stated. When the fan is set at low you CAN hear the fan running during the day. If you have some people over and have music on on the background, maybe you won't hear the fan running. When the fan is set at high the noisy level will be equivalent to a regular fan at Medium speed.The amount of air the fan is blowing was of my primary concern when I ordered the item. The concern was immediately gone when I turned it on the first time. Note that this fan is not a complete room air-circulating fan. It is to keep one or two persons cool. Well, very cool.The fan looks fantasitic. It's quite tall! The entire fan has the "Made In Italy" look except the bottom of the fan, the buttons on the fan body, and the remote control. They have the cheap "Made In CHINA" feel. But then those are small parts relative to its entirety.The 5 operating buttons on the fan body changes their colors as the mode changes. For example, set at low speed, the fan button goes red. set at mid speed, it goes orange (but it looks redish). high speed changes the color to green. Set at 2-hour timer, the timer button goes red. set at 4-hour timer, the button goes orange (again it looks almost red). Set at 8-hour timer, it goes green. There are 5 buttons: Power On/Off, Fan speed(low, mid, high), Osil. On/Off, Timer(off, 2hr, 4hr, 8hr), Wind type (fixed air flow/natural air flow). Set at Natural air flow the fan changes its speed automatically (low to high to low to mid to high to mid to low) as if it is simulating outside wind. I can't think of any circumstances where I would use that functionality but.. It's there for some people.The bottom line is 1) it looks great! 2) good air flow! 3) relatively quiet! 4)it looks like a $95.00 fan!I hope its durability is as good, too! We shall see!

1. It is pretty and it arrived on time. Nothing else good can be said about it. Impossible to assemble properly. Meant only for use in Venezuela.2. The buyer must attach the cylinder upright to a slippery, two-part base. This is a feat of imagination thanks to practically non-existent instructions.2. After three fruitless hours of manipulating the eleven accompanying screws, it occurred to me that the only screws left that might fit and hold in the crucial holes were already inside the bottom of the cylinder. They looked permanently fixed, but when I tried them with a Phillips screwdriver I found that they were loose and could be pulled out. Eureka. (This is not the actual word that I used).3. Now the monster lives. It does not live well because it is a fragile, tottering masterpiece of Chinese junk.4. There are more holes and perhaps if the left-over parts fit them the wobbling might stop. I have several short screws and a long one. And a strange, small rubber tube. Don't know what they do, so I've put them in a plastic bag and stapled it o the owner's "manual."5. The creature was accompanied by a long list of authorized dealers in Venezuela and a one-year warranty valid only in--you guessed it--Venezuela.6. I have owned such fans before, and it never occurred to me that this one would not take the same AA or AAA batteries in its remote as the others. This one, however, requires two expensive button batteries (included, thank you very much).7. The remote has a shorter and narrower range than any I have used before and its buttons sometimes require several hard punches before they will work. The whole %#@* thing is too heavy and unwieldy to wrap up and send back. I simply blew $95.00.8. DON'T THROW AWAY YOUR MONEY ON THIS ONE, AS I HAVE. Buy a cheaper, user-friendly fan.

We bought this fan because it looked really nice and matched our decor nicely. It's very sleek looking and does the job of a fan when it works. Sadly, ours stopped working after 2 weeks of using it. Amazon always has amazing service and offered a refund for us to return this item. I hesitant to order this fan again, because I'm afraid that it may stop working again after a short time. It looks like this is a common issue with this fan looking at other reviews.

For some reason I thought an expensive, sleek looking fan would be quiet because of the fan design, but that didn't really end up being the case.Pros -Fan blades are pretty quiet, and concealed, no worries about hurting yourself.I like the options this has, rotation/speed/timer, kind of standard but not all fans have timers.Looks nice, low profile, a standard fan really does take up quite a bit of profile when it rotates, this stays out of the way nicely.Comes with a remote that you can store in the back of the fan, it's nice to be able to adjust the fan remotely.Cons -Motor is noisy, I don't think I got a defective one either, but anything over the lowest setting and you can really tell this motor is cranking, it's distracting, I can hear it quite a ways away on medium settings.This fan is a bit expensive for what you get, honestly I had one very similar to this at nowhere near the price that lasted me 4-5 years. I've only had this one for half a year now, but I doubt it's going to end up being worth the money in the end.

i like this fan, it looks great, perhaps the best i was able to find on internet or in stores and works great as well. on the lowest position the sound is really minimal. i gave 4 stars because of the remote control, it is small- not comfortable, and the white paint came out in 4-5 days after i started to use it. otherwise great fan.

This is a very attractive tower fan that sits in our living room. It isn't super powerful but I don't expect a slim tower fan to be. It does create a nice breeze and the right amount of air movement for us, enough that we often use it on the low setting. It is quiet, but can be heard.
