Questions & Answers

Is it possible to mount this on a cinder block wall, such as in a college dorm?

Drill the cinder block with a masonry bit, then hammer the appropriate size plastic anchors into the holes and screw the mounting screws into the anchors.

At each fan speed, what decibel level is the fan producing?

I'm not sure what decibel level the fan is at, but I keep it on "low," which is about as loud and powerful as a traditional floor fan on "high."

Is it possible to hang it on the wall without using any hardware?

The fan is hung from the included bracket, which is screwed to the wall.

After two weeks, oscillation stopped working; it will only go up and down, not the other two. Any fix?

Continue to experiment with the modes, and it will eventually become oscillating.

Do not make a purchase
3/5

I had this device for four months before it broke down. The fan motor hums, but the blades do not move unless the front cover is removed and the blades are manually spun. It will work for about a half-hour before shutting down again. I would have returned the item, but it was out of warranty, and I would appreciate it if the manufacturer contacted me for a replacement. Perhaps I received a bad batch of something. I'll update the review if I learn anything new.

Purchase a warranty extension! These are attractive, easy to put together, and perform as expected
3/5

for a period of nine to eleven months I bought two of them for my children's rooms. On the same day, I installed both. They were both used in the same way. Within a year, both of my daughters had left. It started squeaking one day and then stopped working about two days later. I simply re-installed the device, reluctantly and with frustration and anger, both because of the money lost on the replacement and because I hadn't purchased the extended warranty. I had it replaced with the same model that I had ordered. When my son's started making a similar grinding, annoying noise about 2 months later, I saw it as an opportunity for some father-son tinkering time, so we disassembled it. We vacuumed the cage, blade, and cowling every 3 to 4 weeks and then cleaned the insides with an air compressor, vacuum, and tooth brush to remove any dust accumulations that had occurred during its shorter-than-expected life. After that, we re-lubricated all of the moving parts with a light lubricant and re-assembled everything. It was successfully assembled (a very proud day in a father's life - (Full disclosure: the daughter declined the offer to help. ) The fan ran quietly, and all evidence of the previous friction and noise had vanished. I was ecstatic, as was my son. until late in the evening My son awoke me after a few hours to tell me that his room was filled with a haze and a strange odor. It was a miracle the smoke detector hadn't triggered. I took the fan off the wall and placed it on the front porch right away. It was hot and smoky, and I couldn't touch it with my hands. Before anyone points out that I should have used white grease instead of sewing machine oil, let me say this: I get it. I'd respond that I shouldn't have to work on something I'd bought less than a year ago and cared for well since then. Instead of buying the same fan for the fourth time, I switched to a different brand, which has worked out well so far. My son and I (along with my daughter) have discovered new ways to spend our time together.

I'd suggest it
5/5

This is up on the wall in my bedroom right now. Installation is a breeze. You only need to attach a bracket to the wall before the fan can be installed. br>br>My bedroom benefits from the fan's excellent air circulation. It's a little loud, but I don't mind because I'm a huge white noise fan xDbr>br>the remote control is extremely useful. In general, this is an excellent product.

I liked the fan at the beginning, but it was noisy and fell apart
3/5

A professional was hired to install the fan. I went to investigate after six weeks when I heard a loud noise. The fan had come loose from the wall and had landed on the floor. One of the plastic blades broke after the fan cover came off. I missed the return deadline because I had to wait three weeks for a professional to come to my house and properly install it. This fan also produces a lot of noise. It has a nice appearance and blends in well with the rest of the room's decor. But now I'm out of money and have no way of replacing it. What a waste of time.

While it lasted, I was a huge fan
3/5

I liked the fan when it was first installed, but after only two days of use, the Multi- The fan's oscillation feature, which allowed it to oscillate in three different patterns, had stopped working and was only going up. down. This appears to be a common complaint in other reviews. A 1-year parts warranty was included with the fan. Although there was a labor warranty, a refund was issued after contacting Amazon customer service about the problem. I'm not sure I'll buy this brand again, so the refund will be applied to a different type of fan. Amazon's customer service deserves a pat on the back.

For a room with no electrical in the ceiling, this is the ideal solution
5/5

Our house is older, with a cathedral ceiling in the living room and only one electrical outlet. about 20" from the face of the brick fireplace As a result, adding a ceiling fan (which would have been beneficial) was not an option. Here's a fan that you can hang on the wall. We have five dogs and a small living space, so we decided to try something that could be mounted on the wall. This fan has been described as noisy in some reviews, but it is no more so than many other floor fans. The oscillation between up and down and side to side is a real plus. We have it set up so that it cools both the living room and my office at the same time, and we love it!.
