FS40-16JRG

Wow, I'm shocked that this is as robust as it is for the price, and so far (it's been about a month), I have only one minor complaint. PROS: + Fan is CRAZY strong. Super impressed. One second it's all muggy and the air feels like a nest of boa constrictors languishing on your tan tropical shoulders - next minute? - SCHWAMMMPAMPAMPAMWAHHH! Pakaa, the Hawaiian god of the window, is screaming silently into the room (like the scene in the Mummy where the sandstorm rises to devour the plane) and all the boas have been blown a block away. + Construction quality is A+. I don't say this lightly. Almost the entire fan is made out of solid, seemingly quality metal parts. + Remote is an unexpectedly useful feature for someone who is physically disabled and works reliably from 6' away, as long as it's exactly pointed at the receiver, on the same horizontal plane. CONS: - The one part that noticeably *isn't* metal, for some strange reason, is the threading of some key components. So when I was attempting to set up the stacked rotary components, I nearly stripped part of the threading and couldn't take the part off later when breaking it down later. This ended up being a minor thing - after all, you don't need to disassemble it often, if ever. But it could have been broken very easily at this juncture. Note: Make sure you have a screwdriver (ideally not a drill) to securely attach the rotary head to the stand. Everything else is pretty self-assembling, but for the head to stay attached to the stand and not separate when you pick it up, you will need a screwdriver. We didn't have a screwdriver so did a Hail Mary and used a drill as gently as possible. This was risky with the plastic threading but it got the job done. Immediately bought a second one, based on the quality of the first and the inevitability of climate change.

If I could give this fan 10 stars, I would. The output is amazing on LOW, so it's really good when on medium or high. It does make noise, but that's 75% of the reason we buy a fan. Or maybe 95%. But the noise is a good brown noise range, and not annoying or hard to sleep with. The remote works well, and it's a good solid fan with only off and on and three speeds and a timer. I haaaaaaate having all the ridiculous options on a fan like breeze or trees or whatever. We just want a fan that has good output and makes good background noise to sleep to, and this one is PERFECT. Easy to assemble, and it's going to be easy to take the cage apart to clean the blades when necessary. 10/10 - highly recommend!

We use this fan every day. I use it when I’m at my desk, and then, we use it at night for sleep. Moves air pretty good and has a nice sound. Controls are easy to use and the remote is nice to have. Well worth the price and has been running great for over a year.

Overall a very nice fan for the price. I had an older Lasko fan that finally gave out so I ordered this Pelonis 16" fan to replace it. It's practically the same fan, though the older Lasko fan didn't have a remote, but only a 3-speed dial on the top and the oscillation control. I don't think Lasko is around anymore, and both Lasko fans and Pelonis are both made by Intertek, so they are probably the same company. Overall the quality of the fan seems good for the price. The remote works well. Remote requires two AAA batteries, which are not included. The base for this fan is nice and heavy, but not overly cumbersome. I owned an old Lasko fan about 12 years ago (not the one I replaced) and it had an extremely wide plastic based that was almost twice as large as the base for the new Pelonis, so that was nice. Everything is mostly part for the course except for two things which I will explain now. First of all, I use a fan mainly for the noise it generates so that I can sleep. I am very sensitive to outside noises and like to have the sound of a fan to sleep to. This fan is definitely louder than my old Lasko fan. I even removed the Pelonis fan blades and put my old Lasko fan blades on, which helped slightly, but the fan is still pretty loud, and I've noticed that it takes me longer to fall asleep, and when I was up in the morning, I feel like my ears and brain have been overstimulated during the night. I'm not sure if this will improve as I get used to the fan, but I'm hoping it will. So I'm really on the cusp about recommending this fan for people who want a quiet fan for sleeping. It's much louder than my old fan, but given my old fan has been dying a slow death, it may have slowed down a bit over the past 6 months or so. I have been running the fan on the high speed setting to break it in, then using the low speed setting for sleep, but now I'll discuss my next complaint. The three fan speeds are not much different. Low, Medium and High, or 1, 2, 3, or whatever you want to call the fan speeds, well, they're honestly not that different. Yes, I can hear the fan speed up slightly, but there really isn't much of a difference between the three speeds, both in speed and sound. I'm not sure if this fan is working as intended or not, but it may be an issue requiring me to return the fan back to Amazon or the manufacturer. I'm just not sure yet. For the time being, I'll keep the speed at low while I sleep and see if I get used to it. If I don't after two weeks, I'm going to need to order another fan and try something else instead. I also found myself appreciating the remote control. It's fairly basic. You can turn the fan on/off. Set the fan speed, and also set a timer. I'm not sure what the duration of the timer is, but I think 1, 2 and 3 hours? Maybe not. It's not a feature I intend to use, so it's irrelevant for me. You can't control the oscillation from the remote though, so not sure if that is a deal breaker for anyone. So overall, it's a nice fan. A bit on the loud side if you plan to sleep with it turned on in your bedroom. If not, then that shouldn't be an issue at all. There isn't much difference in fan speed or sound between the low and high settings too, so that might be an issue for some. I think if Pelonis addresses the speed issue, then there wouldn't really be anything to complain about with this fan and would have earned a 5-star from me.

Great product, this is my second time purchasing. First one lasted about 4.5 years with being on a majority of the time. Easy to move, plenty of speed settings for me. I never used the timer feature, but it does have one. I'm a fan!

Needed a new pedestal fan and saw this one on sale? Is that a REMOTE I see?? For same price as cheapy Lasko fans?? SOLD! Assembly was simple, I’m sorry but anyone having difficulty putting this together (I’m looking at you one star review with video) should really just focus on converting oxygen into carbon dioxide and nothing more. Remote is great, and you’ll need it because you’re gonna wanna park this little oscillating a** kicker a fair distance away as it blows harder than your uncle after a few drinks going on about politics. Low setting is defiantly higher than most, and high approaches gale force gusts. Fine by me, but I can see how it may be too much for some people. Coinciding with that, the noise is also slightly elevated but not by much. I like fan noise, but if you’re looking for silent in low, this isn’t for you. Timer is nice also, but this baby runs 24/7 so Ill probably never use it. All in all great fan though, let the good times blow!

The base is heavy and sturdy. I’m buying a second one for another room. Love the white! I use it all year round and it helps me sleep. Highly recommend!

This is the second time I am buying this(helped a friend to order) it is a very nice fan that doesn't make noise and with speed. The height can be manipulated as needed, it is easy to couple together.

No es tan silencioso como su hermano de 12 velocidades, pero tampoco es tan ruidoso como las versiones enclenques de los centros comerciales que tienen aspas demasiado delgadas, no necesita herramientas, es facil de armar y el peso de su base lo hace firme y estable pero complicado de cargar para un niño o una abuelita. Lo que pudiera incomodar o llegar a ser molesto, si quisieras ser discreto o silencioso, es el "beep" que hace cada vez que presionas un boton y no se si se pueda desactivar.

This fan is a lifesaver! I do not have AC in my house and the summer heat has nearly killed me int he past. Distributes air very well and I often only need to use the lowest setting to receive powerful relief. Remote has good range. Very easy to set up too. Only downside is that the beeping noise when changing settings (or turning ON/OFF) is obnoxiously loud.

I get all the breeze I need on the low setting. Very powerful fan. I love having a remote to control it. It is kinda loud though.

Je suis de celles qui dorment avec un ventilateur 365 jours par année, peu importe la température... Quand mon ancien a rendu l'âme j'étais bien désamparée face aux didférents produits offerts et aux commentaires qui parfois se contredisent. Pour le bruit, c'est moins fort que mon ancien. C'est constant, pas de cliquetis ou autres variations, ce qui, en ce qui me concerne, favorise mon sommeil. La puissance est vraiment bonne, je dois dormir avec un bandeau dans les cheveux pour ne pas me faire chatouiller quand ceux-ci pognent dans le vent!!! La manette était un extra non essentiel, mais je ne m'en passerais plus! Le pied en rond évite de se cogner les orteils et est très stable. Bref, je suis charmée et je fais de beaux dodos!

Este es un ventilador que en su nivel más bajo y silencioso resulta suficiente a 3 y 4 metros de distancia. El control remoto funciona a 6 o más metros de distancia (en otros equipos de torre más caros -que al año ya no funcionan- el remoto no llega no a tres metros). Hoy es el primer día de uso así que puedo decir que es una excelente compra plr el precio, sin poder comentar aún de su durabilidad.
