HOLMES 16 Stand Fan With Remote Control, Black

Fan is beautiful and to spec, but the settings on it should read Gail force, hurricane and tornado instead of low, medium and high.

I purchase this fan to replace a 10 year old metal fan that was made by another company and was starting to wear out. This van arrived in great shape, fairly easy to assemble and works great! Feels nice and sturdy and operates very quietly and effectively! I expect this fan to be with me for many years to come

I bought this fan after I saw it at a friends house. It puts out legit cold air, I love it! If you like a constant stream of cool air while you sleep this is the fan for you.

what I expected

This fan was great while it worked. It unfortunately broke about 6 months after we purchased it. The motor just stops working randomly while other times it sends to start up just fine.

This is the second of these fans I have bought. The first one burned out after over a year of almost continual use. Nothing against the fan for that, I did not clean it often enough. This construction of this fan seems to be different. The bolt that connects this fans base to the tower tube stripped out the nut in the base the first time I tightened it. The tower then flopped around uselessly. The tube that connects the tower to the base should have a longer collar inside of the base. Luckily I had not thrown out the old fan and I swapped out the tower tube, everything works correctly now. The construction is solid on the fan body but the bolts used to attach the motor cover to the motor is a special bolt head Ive never seen, you need a triangular shaped bit to open it up, that stopped me from being able to clean out the motor.

all metal.great thanks

Looking at the long list of reviews under this stand fan page, its puzzling since most refer to other products like desktop fans, USB fans, etc. My review is of the 16 inch stand fan only. This fan is built very solidly. Its all metal. Metal base, metal pole, metal motor housing, metal fan blades, and metal fan guards. Not plastic like most are these days. The controls are very simple. One three position switch for fan speeds (no electronics, no touch buttons, no programming, no remote control, etc.). This makes for a very reliable product that should last far longer than many others. The only other control is the one to have the fan go back and forth or not. Again its a simple mechanical control. This fan moves a bunch of air. Its not as quiet as some but it really moves air. I use it to cool off while on a treadmill and the air movement is really appreciated. The built in fans on treadmills are really not good enough. So how do I know its all metal? Simple, use a magnet. Wont stick to plastic. Final comment is this is a very good fan and I expect it to last far longer than the more complex one it replaced. If you want remote controls, programs, etc. then this is not the fan for you however.

Doesn’t look cheap and seems sturdy. Working great so far. Noisy as any other fan out there, but more powerful than most. The design and look is exactly what we wanted

I bought this fan in May 2017 at Target for $60 and it did take some time to assemble it but it was worth the money and time cause it’s a very good quality fan. It is very sturdy since the motor does not burn out and the stand and the grill cover don’t not come off easily after having those problems with my plastic fans in the past that’s why I switched to this and there’s no going back. 4 years later still running like new and I have had no problems with this fan. :) Best fan and purchase ever!!!!
