Schallen 16" Electric Oscillating Floor Standing Tall Pedestal Air Cooling Fan (White)

Sitting in our conservatory on a very hot day this week with the temperature outside at 32, our fan finally failed. So looked on Amazon to see what we could get and quickly and reasonably priced. Found this one with reasonable reviews and a good price. It arrived ahead of time and was very well boxed up. Everything was in the box and it came with a good set of instructions, but as we have put many similar fans together over many years assembly was not an issue. All went together easily and whilst a few parts looked cheap such as the feet and base fixing cover they are more than good enough. Once assembled and installed switched it on and the first reaction was how quiet it was and’s on its lowest setting how much air was being pushed through by the blades with the top setting being incredibly and really not necessary to use to get the perfect flow of air. One observation is that the motor housing vibrates in use which is not an issue but it just does, and has no effect on the fan operation. It has been run now for 10 hours on each of the 3 speed settings in order to see if there are any out of box problems but all is still good and it’s running perfectly. As mentioned, very quiet and moves a lot of air through all the 3 settings, and this has not been our experience with other such fan purchases. All in all we are very happy with this purchase and only time will tell just how robust this fan really is.

For the price I can't complain, it's sturdy enough, looks good, easy to put together. It works well and does what it should. Feels a bit cheap when putting together but it is a cheap fan.

Having recently purchased this fan, I can say I have could not be happier. It is by no means perfect, but for the price I found it to be wonderful. As I live in an area with a lot of nighttime noise and traffic, sleeping with the window open is impossible; however, with this fan I have found no need for that this year. I have personally slept every night with the fan on its lowest setting, which provides plenty of cool air due to the large size of the fan. It is very quiet (at least comparative to previous fans) and I currently have it positioned next to the bed yet sleep soundly all night. It has made the summer heat bearable and I am very glad I bought it. Only criticisms I can offer is that the foot supports are a little weak due to being made of a cheap plastic, but if you intend to position it on a flat surface this shouldn't offer any issue. The fan has three settings all of which are relatively quiet. Overall, it's an ideal fan if you're looking for something cheap and simple - it quickly and easily cools the air even on the lowest setting and is ideal for anyone looking for a fan to run at night over the summer.

I ordered x2 Schallen fans due to the fact a friend of mine had bought one for his flat and it was great, however I didnt get sent the schallen ones I got sent ground level and only one fan, I'm not sure if it's exactly the same as the one I wanted but the brand disc makes it look cheap and tacky, trying to assemble it was an absolute nightmare as the instructions arent worth the paper they are written on what good is it having a numbered instruction booklet yet no numbers on the actual pieces? All you get it's a sketchy picture which was absolutely useless. I ended up with 4 small screws that I couldnt find a place for them to fit anywhere and it made me wonder if the manufacturer had just chucked them in the box to add to further confusion! Unless you know how to assemble fans this is going to be like the krypton factor the pieces arent the best made either with some parts not screwing on the way they should, I ended up taking it apart about 4 times and it's still not right so after assembling then taking apart so many times I think this next time will need to do, it seems to be working okay but I've visions of the rotating part flying off! It's a very simple fan once you eventually manage to build it up (if anyone can shed light on where these tiny screws are meant to go let me know) however when I tested it it was great much better than the expensive tower fans I had previously bought from argos , it exceeded expectations in the cold air department and well worth the money for the fact that despite it having cheaply made parts it actually blows out alot of cold air which is exactly what was needed, now to tackle taking it apart again and tightening it all up for the 5th time and hoping that this time its put together correctly

This fan has been excellent join the hot weather I could never have been without it. It’s good quality and stands well. Only one problem is the bottom pieces can drop out the little pieces that go in the socket. But that’s easy to fix..

This fan was easy to put together. However the components are made of cheap plastic, the base is particularly flimsy. It does pack a punch as a fan though and the 3 settings are good increments in the increase of breeze. It is not hard to move around, but the base is a trip hazard and I am not sure how long it will last. Is it too much to have a metal base? But OK, for the money, and if you want so fast moving air in the heat then it is worth it. It is height adjustable too. No remote control sold with this product.
