IRIS USA, Inc. PCF-M18U Woozoo Oscillating Circulator Fan, White, 7"

The fan I bought is to be placed on my nightstand at night. I've been having difficulty finding a small, relatively quiet oscillating fan, and this seemed like a viable

The first thing that surprised me is that it is a bit bigger than I had anticipated. can come up with is that the advertised sizes are apparently applicable only to the blades and not the entire fan. There is a significant increase in size when the fan housing is added my 5 inch screen is even larger. I thought I was buying a 5" model, but I may have been buying a 7" In conjunction with the housing, the size is 5". I was not expecting to see the fan size listed by how big the blades are. This may be common practice, but I just wanted to point out that it was not what I expected. A second feature is that the entire base oscillates when the fan is running. That has been cited as a positive feature by some reviewers, and personally, I think the novelty factor is great, but that means the control buttons are also oscillating when the fan is running. I understand that novelties like these are appealing, but I can also understand the difficulty of trying to locate controls in the dark while half-blind Their backs are to the center of the universe and they are sleeping. A second issue with the oscillating base is that on the fan I had, the plastic attached to the stationary part of the base rubbed against the moving part, which resulted in a scraping noise. I must admit that the sound was not incredibly loud but the fan blades themselves are so quiet on the lowest setting that I could keep up with it quite well. There is no such thing as a quiet oscillating fan unless it oscillates quietly, and this model In addition, the scraping caused the oscillation to be noticeably jerky, rather than smooth. Although I had some issues with these things, it was the quality that really troubled me. When I received the fan, I immediately tested the oscillation and silence with it for a few minutes. It started producing loud metallic squealing noises within a few minutes, last for a few seconds, and then stop. It took another few minutes for the fan to begin to sound like it is oscillating. I think this is not a good sign for any fan, but it is a dealbreaker for the one I was going to place closely to my head as Depending on what you get closer to, this should be a decent fan for an office or another room where noise and moving controls are not an issue, if you get a better one than the one I received.

Having a stuffy bathroom with a windows facing south, I bought this to distribute air. A clear distinction can be drawn between the speeds. The good thing is that some fans come in multiple speeds and sometimes they can blend together. The sound level of 1 is similar to a light breeze and is relatively quiet. The 2 is still quite silent, but it is pushing strong winds. In my opinion, 3 is much more powerful and louder than 2. Great for powerful, fast airflow, but not so great for light, slow It is great that it can be directed very high and that the oscillation is The overall impression is positive. The design is also both cute and minimalist, while it's a perfect mix of modern and retro. ***UPDATE 5 MONTHS LATER Since I bought this oscillating fan and air circulator a while back, it's been quite a while since I did so. When I would work on my computer I would use it as a desk fan when it was level 1 in my bathroom and an oscillating fan to get a slight breeze. The first time I used it as a circulating fan was quite some time ago, and to be quite honest, I had underestimated its potential! With a room that varies from medium to large, this little guy really helps with the airflow. Whenever he is positioned at the correct wall, I feel like the air moves more freely. In fact, I can feel a breezier environment around me, and my skin is feeling lighter. My ceiling fan does not work as well as this device. For good air circulation, I consider level 2 to be an appropriate speed. 66 dB is the maximum sound level of the fan at this level. It was loud. The sound of fans doesn't bother me, but I am not particularly sensitive to them. On level 2, it does move quite a bit of air. There's a lot of noise at Level 3. I haven't gauged the intensity using a dB meter, but I estimate maybe 75-80 dB The level 1 is whisper quiet at 42 dB (instead of 82dB). When I have the lowest setting, I don't need it. Despite my opinion about its oscillation feature, I still recommend it, and I'll probably never use it because I think its main strength is As a final update to the year I'll post another update in July. As it will be in the heat of summer, we will see how this fan holds up under some heavy use.

I am amazed at how powerful this little fan is. The dial can be adjusted in three ways. This is a very quiet machine, and I do not need to change the setting. As I have a very sensitive hearing, this fan is perfect for me. The blades can be adjusted to the right or left. I don't have to put it on my end table because it has this feature. Thanks for the purchase. I'm happy I made it.

I was surprised to receive the product earlier than I What an amazing thing. As the fan was enclosed in a very well-padded box, it was scratch- and damage-free. What makes this fan unique is that it is made of wood There is an actual oscillation of the base! I love how quiet it is! It has a particularly slick modern design too - I like it very much The fan is so different from any other. That was one of the greatest purchases I have ever made! It's great that it comes with a dust-cover. I'll buy one for my office. I mean it.

It is used in my sun room, where my office is located, as the air conditioning in the rest of my house does not reach This little guy had been on my wish list to put in the sun room, but I ended up buying a separate unit My favorite part is that I got to do The unit is much cheaper than a portable ac unit, and it does what it should for the moment. It is a very good program, and I recommend it highly.
