Great price. I put this together in seconds. Works very well. Light enough for me to carry upstairs. Very pleased with this item.

This fan was a good buy,it worked perfectly during the summer without any fault,I recommend

When a product has 16% 1-star reviews you start to worry ... but that seems par for the course at this end of the market, so I took a punt and ordered it. Maybe I was in luck but inside the box I found: - assembly instructions written in actual English (not a computer translation); - all the promised bits; and - everything worked. You will need a cross-head screwdriver. I found that a PH1 was perfect. Assembly is a step-by-step process. You also need to use your judgement. If you see a couple of pins sticking out of the metal spindle that emerges from the motor unit, those pins fit into slots at the back of the fan blade unit when you push that on. There are also a couple of plastic thingys that engage into slots on the rear safety grille when you put that in place. It's all there, but you need to be patient. Mine came with the inner (extension) pole inserted into the main pole, so that saved five seconds. When you're fitting the rear grille, the knurled plastic ring that secures it tightens onto the metal motor spindle in the usual way (clockwise). The *other* ring, which secures the fan blade assembly, tightens *anti-clockwise*. Bear that in mind. I nearly broke it. The most fiddly bit was fitting the front part of the grille. It has a lot of clips around the circumference, and you need to loosen them (you may need pliers) to get it lined-up correctly with the rear part. You also need to ensure that the tiny screw 'ole at the bottom of the front part lines-up with the 'ole on the back part. I resorted to bad language and leaning the whole thing against a sofa at 45 degrees to see what I was doing, but I got there. Oh yes - and before I started all this I connected the motor and ran it to be sure it seemed OK. How does it perform? You get a fair blast of wind, and quietly, on the lowest setting. The mid setting is more powerful, but still pretty quiet. On maximum it's a bit noisier, and you start to get that angry buzzing you can hear with propeller aircraft ... a bit like cardboard hitting the spokes on a bike wheel. For my needs (getting the air to move on a hot day) the first two settings are ample. I am sure it won't be a problem to sleep with the fan running. Build quality? About as good as you can expect. The motor housing and switch panel feel 'plasticky', and the switches are too squishy for total confidence. You can disengage the gears that cause the head to swivel (switch off, then lift the knob at the rear of the motor housing) and I would always do that to reduce the load on the 50W motor. You can also adjust the angle (up/down) of the fan, but only by about 10 degrees. I'd have liked 45 degrees or more up-angle to get the air bouncing off the ceiling. The cable is around 130cm total. That's short. With the fan at maximum height, the cable hits the floor and then runs just 50cm sideways. If your sockets are at skirting board level, you won't have much room to position the fan. Overall this fan feels stable, thanks to its long legs, and about right for the cash. It gets a comfortable 4 stars. I had the feeling that for another quid or two they could have beefed-up the switchgear and lengthened the cable. I have posted the assembly instructions in case they help anyone.

Used this across hot shifts, home setups, and van-side cool-downs—fan’s quiet even on high speed, with no rattles or wobble. Oscillation’s smooth and covers a wide area, ideal for keeping air moving in tight spaces. Three speed settings give decent control, and the airflow’s strong without being overpowering. Height adjusts easily, and the base is stable—no tipping or sliding. Assembly’s quick, and the build feels solid for the price. Ideal for drivers, site workers, or anyone who needs reliable cooling without the noise. Perfect for bedrooms, garages, or workstations where you want airflow without distraction. Minor gripe: no remote or timer—manual controls only, so not ideal for hands-free setups. 👍 Pros ✅ Quiet operation—good for sleep or work ✅ Smooth oscillation—wide coverage ✅ Adjustable height—easy to position ✅ 3-speed settings—decent airflow control ✅ Sturdy base—no tipping or wobble 👎 Cons ❌ No remote or timer—manual only ❌ Basic design—no digital display ❌ Plastic build—feels light but not premium

I purchased this fan around 2 weeks ago and have been using it frequently ever since. The pros - First of all the price is great for the type of fan that it is and I cannot fault it on that. The fan height is also adjuatable which is great so it can work with wherever it is. There are 3 settings of speed and it delivers a good steady blow of air and as far as fans go it isn't too noisy. The cons - The instructions are confusing, unclear and badly written, however the fan is still easyish to put together with a little bit of common sense. The stand of the fan is extremely unsteady and cheap looking, and the plastic feet fall off easily - again leaving it unsteady. The base section of the fan has 4 legs, all of these twist and turn which again makes the fan unsteady and wobble slightly when on the oscilating setting. For the price the fan itself is great but the base of the fan could be improved massively. I would purchase again but I would definitely look at other options first!

Fan came the next day very quickly via DPD,the box it came in feels very cheap so my expectations was drop for this product but I was wrong ,as the saying goes "never judge a book by it's covers" and this is very true in this case, when I opened the package I was greeting with a numerous number of parts,which seems to be made of good quality the parts that came with it feels relatively strong except for the legs they seems a bit flimsy but for the price its really good and well worth it,the installation process is as follow 1) (Create the base)- join the both legs and install it between each other making a cross pattern, after grab the leg of the fan(the piece that's holds the fan itself) and install the 4 screws,install the finisher that cover the screw...BASE COMPLETED 2)Slowly pull the inner metal from the leg of the base which will reveal the stand itself in which the fan will be mounted 3)Take the motor if the fan and install it unto the crime plated piece in which you just pulled up from the leg 4)attach the fan bladed together and tighten securtly Over use the threads might become loose what I did was used some medium strength thread locker on all the fasteners and that should do the job very well All in all this fan is very good for its price for someone who wants a good fan but don't have the resources to buy an expensive one,this fan and the fan from Argos is almost the same but this one is more powerful and way cheaper from the one from argos

good
