Amazon Basics 16-inch Quiet DC Motor Standing Floor Fan for Bedroom, 12 Speed with Remote, 3 Breeze Modes, Adjustable Height, Dual-Layered Blades, Timer, Energy Efficient (28W), White

You know how, when you angle a fan to blow at you, after a little while, that constant flow of air gets a little uncomfortable? Well, I don't know how I missed this specific feature of this fan, but it has a "nature" mode where the fan cycles periodically through the different fan speeds to vary the flow. This has been a revelation to me! It is really a wonderful feature and feels almost like a "natural" breeze, rather than just a constant flow. I've never heard of such a setting on a fan, and this is really fantastic. There are an additional 2 modes: one, where it's just like a normal, constantly-blowing fan; and another, called "sleep" where it cycles through the low and medium speeds. These mode functions are really cool! I didn't know fans could do that! The build quality is really solid. It's actually a much heavier fan than I was expecting. Not so heavy that it can't be easily moved, but it feels really solid and stable. The base is smaller than other fans I've seen, but it is heavy enough that it still is really stable without wobbling around. It wasn't difficult to put together at all, though I did have to set the grill a couple of times in order to line up the label properly. It's not a criticism, and if you don't care about that sort of thing, you can just slap the grill (cage?) on any old way. I'm not sure what the function of the little blades that go on top of the larger blades. Don't really know what it does... But I'm surprised at how quiet it is. Much quieter than even my window fan and little desktop fan. I'd say the size is kind of medium-large, but it really moves air like a larger fan! The oscillation is wide, too, and the head can be angled quite high and low. This isn't a wholly "budget" kind of fan, but it's not too expensive either. I'm really pleased with it - as a kind of step up from my old cheapie fans. Highly recommended!

Great fan for hot summer months and air circulation anytime. Appreciate that we can adjust the height and the angle, and the remote is perfect for turning it on when I'm already in bed. It's super strong which makes it kinda loud, but its great white noise. I love the timer and oscillation, but tbh I don't understand the different modes haha so I just use the regular mode. Great product

Well, here I am a year later to report this oscillating fan suddenly decided to do something VERY bad. It put out a loud electrical 'snap' & the fan blades stopped working. Oh, it still oscillates but it can't go fast enough going just side-to-side to generate a breeze. Of course this happened just one week past it's one year warranty. (LOL) I do like the fan, so I'll probably buy another next Spring. As to my original review: If you’re looking for a very nice oscillating fan with an excellent remote this one is a very good value. HOWEVER, first you have to assemble it. If I didn’t know better & it didn’t have the AmazonBasics® logo I swear the instructions were designed by IKEA®. [Anyone who’s ever tried to assemble that particular brand of furniture knows what I’m talking about.] I guess when they say 'Basics', they mean it. For those who are considering purchasing this item & wants to escape [most of] the assembly frustration here are some of the high points NOT covered in the instruction manual: 1) Go ahead & unpack everything. You will find all the parts there… someplace, somewhere. 2) Assembly of the base is dead easy. Pg. 6- 7. Unscrew the knob off the bottom, insert the stand & tighten the knob. 3) Following the directions…what little there are…slide main unit onto standard & tighten those knobs. I should mention that the LOWER knob is the one you loosen/tighten in order to extend the fan higher or lower. The other knob secures the main housing to the extendable arm. This isn’t mentioned till page 13. But, so far, so good. Now comes the good parts! 4) Remove the large fan blades off the back of the unit. Remove the Star Trek insignia shaped piece of plastic which is clipped to the blades. (I couldn’t for the life of me figure out what that thing was doing there or if I should take it off. It certainly looks like it belongs but it eventually it dawned on me this was just basically excess material.) Go ahead and toss it because it’s what’s known in the vernacular as a pocket part…just something they stuck on & it looks like you need it but it’s never mentioned. Put the blades aside for now. 5) Look on the shaft sticking out on the base. That’s where the knob you’ve been looking for is. It's not mentioned but you need a pair of pliers to hold the shaft while you turn the knob RIGHT in a reverse fashion to unscrew it. DON’T mess with the pins sticking out of the shaft, you’ll need them later. [Note: this is the opposite of the normal ‘lefty-loosey, righty-tighty’] 6) Now that you have the knob off go ahead & slide that black sheath off the post. Guess what, you get to throw that away too! It took me probably 15 minutes to figure out the blades’d never fit on the shaft with the sheath on. Turns out that piece wasn’t needed, either. Please note its presence is not mentioned anywhere in the directions. 7) Now that you have all the nice things they never told you about out of the way, go ahead and unscrew the fixing ring of the main unit’s front. You can do this by hand. Mount the rear fan guard onto the shaft with the 2 pin holes facing up & the single pin facing down.[You’re still on page 7] Screw on the fixing ring [not the small screw you took off the shaft] until it’s hand tight. 8) Now slide the large blades onto the shaft. If you look on the base of the fan blades you’ll see a small notch which has to be aligned with the pins on the shaft. You have to twist around & back to see the slot. Line them up & slide on the blades. 9) The smaller blades (this is a dual blade set) slide onto the shaft next with the tiny teeth facing out. [Didn’t think I’d make you guess, did you? The manufacturer did.] Now use that small knob you took off the shaft in Step 5 to affix all the blades in place. Remember, this is ‘left-to-tighten’ instead of the normal ‘turn right for tight’. 10) NOW comes the super fun part & it's definitely not in the directions. Take the main unit back OFF the base and lay on something flat like a bed or the floor. At this point I needed a VERY small Phillips head screwdriver (~1/32”), a 2nd person & a few strips of duct tape to manage this step. 11) There is a rubber strip with a screw at the bottom you have to wrap around the back fan guard, blades and all & the front one at the same time with everything EXACTLY lined up. The part with the screw goes at the bottom of the guards. You can’t hold the 2 parts together easily, so that’s where the duct tape comes in. I used 3 1”x ¼”strips, [though if you strip 2 or 3 twist ties down to the wire & use them to secure pieces I think they’d work even better], just enough tape to help plus my spouse to hold the front & back guards together while I fit the rubber ring around them. This step took more than 30 minutes to accomplish with the guards sliding all over the place, the duct tape coming loose because you can’t leave it on, trying to open the ring just enough to let it go around the 2 pieces, fitting the ring's track around both while my husband’s using a magnifying glass to see well enough to tighten the screw all while I’m trying to hold everything stable with pillows stuffed around the base to keep it from turning & twisting. Get the idea? I think we both learned a few new 4 letter words with this last step. If you don’t have the type of screwdriver in your home toolbox you can get one in the eyeglass repair kits at the local CVS or Walgreens. They’re about 5 bucks so. Once you get it tightened, you should be done. Don’t bother looking for a nut on the end of the screw as there isn’t one, which is a very strange design. Normally this means you can’t keep loosening/tightening the screw without stripping the mounting. I wouldn’t know; once we got started with tightening of the screw we just kept going as best we could until we got both guards together. 12) Replace the main unit back on the stand & tighten the knobs. 13)The remote is nothing after all that. Slide off the cover, pop in 2 AAA batteries, slide the cover back on & you're good to go. I will say it’s really nice to have a remote-controlled oscillating fan. I can control on/off, speed, mode, isolation & a timer for sleep. I just wish somebody taught AmazonBasics® how to write directions.

I definitely would recommend this 16” fan. Overall it’s relatively easy to put together, packed well, and weighted base for stability. Seems to be made with quality material. I was going through fan speeds and very impressive performance. Moves lots of air. On low setting across a 15’ room my plants were swaying gently and was very quiet. Of course the higher settings would have a bit louder. Can’t imagine needing High setting but we’ll see what the summer brings! Only have 1 Con and that is the screw attachment for the back and front guards. Maybe have an easier method to attach them together making it easier to take apart to maintain clean blades. I tried to change to 5 stars but couldn’t for whatever reason

I’ve just gotten my second one of these fans, the first one was for my work office, when my husband seen it he wanted one for at home, and when my friend seen it she immediately ordered one as well. It’s honestly one of the nicest fans I’ve ever seen. I feel like the quality is beyond the price. The best part is the smaller sleek design of the base, it’s weighted so it can be smaller than the head of the fan, no wonkey legs or jumbo sized base to trip over. The airflow is great, it puts out more air on low than my previous fan did on the highest setting. The remote is a nice touch and simple to use. And the overall assembly was pretty simple too. The only thing I didn’t like was the one screw that goes in the latch to hold the cage shut. If it weren’t for that screw then the whole thing could be put together without tools.

I use a fan to sleep and this has been great blowing on me for comfort. Airflow is great. The remote control is great too as I've had other fans that had wonky controls. I like this fan so much that I bought another for my exercise area.

I was a little skeptical about Amazon basics at first - however this has been a really good product. It is sturdy and works wells. I use mine all night every night and it has held up well. It has Good speed adjustments and an good air flow. Love the remote control too.

I bought two of these fans two and a half years ago for about $39 each, and initially they were great, easy to assemble, quiet, good air flow. After a year, the metal front and back covers started to rust, even though they are cleaned maybe twice a year? Some dust accumulates, but that's about it. The plastic blades are fine, like brand new. Today I found that one of them (from the bedroom) suddenly stopped working, at least partially. The oscillation function works, but the blades don't turn and the motor doesn't seem to make any noise or heat up like it's trying to turn the blades. No idea why one function works and the other doesn't, but I'm no engineer so I won't try to troubleshoot. The other fan is still working fine. I'd probably rate this a little higher, like 3.5 if that was available. We do lose power a lot here, so the fan just stops when that happens since it needs to be manually started again. Not sure if multiple power outages affected the motor.

Me sorprendió mucho, refresca super bien, lo recomiendo en lugares pequeños ya que concentre muy bien al aire y lo tira en línea recta, el nivel 1 es silencioso, el 2 y 3 hace ruido pero no exagerado como otros y el control ayuda por la comodidad Totalmente recomendado

The Amazon Basics Electric Fan is an excellent buy! It’s powerful, quiet, and so easy to use. The best part is the remote control – I don’t even have to get up to adjust the settings, which makes it super convenient, especially at night. It has multiple speeds and modes, and the airflow is strong enough to cool the room quickly. Assembly was simple, and the fan feels sturdy and well-made. For the price, the quality and performance are outstanding, that's why I bought one more. If you’re looking for a reliable fan that combines convenience and comfort, this one is perfect. Highly recommend!

El ventilador es muy sencillo de armar, para la parte de las aspas si es un poco confusa como lo dijo un comentario la parte protuberante lisa va hacia afuera para las dos aspas. Personalmente lo uso en modo "Eco" ya que esta función prende momentáneamente el ventilador durante periodos, lo que hace que el flujo no deje de cesar, y ahorra energia. Es bastante silencioso a nivel 1, yo lo uso durante reuniones del trabajo y enserio es muy silencioso, cuando la noche es muy calurosa también lo dejo a nivel 1 o 2 y el ruido es poco o nulo. Contras: Maldito pitido molesto al subir velocidades o cambiar las cosas, ya con la pantalla es suficiente, tal vez un día de estos entre para desconectar esa bocina. Sin duda lo recomiendo, bastante calidad precio

So far, this fan is really good.I took it out of the box put it together and slept with it on all night.I like the fact that it has 3 different air types And I like the fact that it has a remote control so when you're exhausted , you can just use the remote control and change the modes or turn the fan off.

Lo recomiendo ampliamente, está muy bonito, los materiales son de muy buena calidad, el ensamblado súper fácil, la base me encantó por qué es más pequeña que otros ventiladores de pedestal pero trae una placa que le añade de peso y le da estabilidad, es silencioso y bastante potente, las aspas son de plástico, una es transparente y otra color blanco y las protecciones de metal, lo volvería a comprar sin dudar
