HOLMES 16 Stand Fan With Remote Control, Black

I use this fan nightly and have had no problems in the few weeks that Ive had it. On the lowest setting it is quite windy and sounds like a small prop plane but I dont mind it. Sturdy construction and has a retro appeal.

I have this in my bedroom and it looks nice. Not cheap looking like all the other fans which are made of plastic. Very powerful too and creates a nice white noise making it easier to sleep.

Motor feels heavy enough to run cool. The noise level is purely the sound of air turbulence, the fan and motor are near silent. Arrived scuffed around the base, packaging was not damaged. Aside from that, a step up from the usual plastic fan. A solid three stars for this fan, I would recommend.

I got the 16” pedistal fan. Disappointed because it came with scratches on the bass and it’s not a bronze color it’s more of a silver. It puts out very good air and is relatively quiet, the instructions are horrible.. I am trying to decide if I’m going to keep it or return it. I may keep it because it is attractive, it has very good airflow and it would be a hassle to box it back up. Really wish it were bronze instead of silver and they should not of sent me a fan that has scratches on it. Not impressed with this company so far.

My 2nd same exact metal fan, my 1st fan lasted me years is why I bought another of same exact brand, blows strong, made of all metal and easy to clean

If u want air movement, consider this fan. Wish it had a remote

We bought the 16 oscillating fan and when assembling it found the fan guard locking pins didnt fit onto fan motor housing correctly. It appears that there was a manufacturing problem with the rear fan guard. It was returned back to Amazon for a full refund.

In summary -- nice shell with a PoS motor... Fan wasnt cheap -- expected it would be built to last given the price and its metal construction. Instead the motor windings shorted because the manufacturer was super cheap and skimped on insulation between them. When it did work, it moved air well. Its certainly a little louder than plastic fans (this should not come as a surprise from a metal fan). I wasnt particularly thrilled that low speed was equivalent to high speed on any other fan model. If you turned up the fan all the way up to actually be on high speed you could probably power an air boat or hovercraft (and yes its just as loud as you might imagine one of those being). Contacted this company 8 days again to see about a replacement motor... yet to hear back. Will update review either in a week or when I hear from them.

broke within a week and do not have box so can not return waste of money.

It’s a good and reliable fan
