Duronic Pedestal Fan FN45, Electric Cooling Fans, Floor Standing Fan, Lightweight Height Adjustable Tilt, 5 Blades, 4 Speeds, High Velocity Oscillating Air Cooler Stand Fans for Home Bedroom Office

Excellent fan, I was a bit worried that it might not be strong enough but it’s really sturdy, has a good multi speed fan and optional oscillation feature, and also a remote control which is very handy. Easy to use, it’s reasonably quiet and has a heavy base so no chance of toppling over.

Hi there.This is the second one of these fans I have purchased in 18 months, so impressed with the first that I bought for my mother that I got myself one. Now if you check the bad reviews of this product, many of them are from folks that had difficulty assembling the item or on occasion had a part missing. Quite how this can be the case in terms of difficulty assembling when it has very few parts I am at a bit of a loss to understand when reading them.So, if you buy this fan, some tips for happy duronic fanning:1. Lay out all the parts, keep in mind you will have to undo a small holding screw that is holding the fanblade and cages together during transport. It seems many have come a cropper due to this.2. Take your time, assemble the fan from the bottom up.3. When it comes to the cage, put the back cage housing on BEFORE you put the fan blades on. Dont forget the nut to hold the cage on the motor housing, then pop your fan blades on.4. Remember, when putting the fan blades on, the fan blade nut tightens counter clockwise.5. When putting on front cage section, do not adjust the rubber strap. Just pop the strap on the front cage section over its lip, hold that up to the back part and you can pull the rubber strap over both cage sections lips. After that you can tighten it via the adjustment screw if needed but it should be pretty ok as it is, unless yours came real lose but the two I bought were fine, no adjustment needed.Missing parts:This happens to many a seller and product, it's life. The fact that people wasted their time and money and carbon emissions sending items like this back for a missing part (as can be seen in reviews) is just bonkers to my mind.My second fan turned up with a missing nut to hold the back part of the cage on the motor housing. I contacted duronics here and told them of a missing part. I expected 48 to 72hrs for a reply but I got one within 12hours of sending, they apologised and sent over an exploded diagram of the fan with the parts you get sent and numbers on them. I sent back the part number I was missing that same day, and they had the part to me within 72 hours after that.What more can you ask for from customer service?? at least give em a chance to solve the problem eh. Sending things back without at least trying to get the missing part, then bad reviewing a good product with good service, is just stupid in my book as such good service is rare, but this is what some are like I guess.Anyway, these are good fans, overpowered for the size, usually 16 inch fans = 40watt motors, these are 60 watt. V few are at this size so if you want a real strong breeze from a relatively small footprint simple to use fan, these would tick that box.Best wishes.and p.s. No, I do not work for duronics, nor do I have any family nor friends nor know anyone who does, don't even know where they are based, but good product and service is worth my time to commend.

A great fan but have given it 4 as putting the front grill on was not an easy task. A little flimsy to say the least. However managed it and the fan works fine.

Good value for money. Has a good motor and blade speed is fine. Though the overall unit feels cheap in terms of look and feel as the remote unit on the fan feels flimsy, it certainly works. Time will tell on its longevity.

I purchased this fan expecting decent quality given its price, but I was let down. For context, I own another fan that cost less than half as much and feels far sturdier and better made. The assembly process for this fan is frustrating, especially the fan blade cover. Instead of using multiple clips for easy attachment, it relies on a single plastic strip that you have to awkwardly fiddle with to secure both covers. This design choice feels cheap and poorly thought out.The fan itself is just okay. The plastic blade and overall build feel flimsy, and the screw holding the top part in place seems fragile, like it could strip or break easily. At £15, I might have overlooked these flaws, but at its current price, it’s simply not worth it. I’m disappointed with the quality and would not recommend this fan for the cost.

The media could not be loaded. Purchased this wall mounted fan to go into our utility as it gets a bit too warm with the polycarb roof. It's a really good product, a decent sized head on it and, with it being a 5 blade fan, you seem to get a really good airflow from it. Simple to use, the timer function is really useful. Some people have said it's really noisy. Please see the attached video. I wouldn't say it's overly noisy although you need to expect some noise from a fan this size. Ours is mounted on a hollow stud and plasterboard wall and I was concerned that you may be able to hear the "drone" when it was running - you can't hear anything through the wall though so don't be put off by noise.The only reason I have knocked off a star for "easy to install" was, as others have said, the ridiculously short cable length and the fact that it is also coming out of the top of the housing. I ended up putting a longer flex on it and re-routing it through one of the slots in the bottom of the housing (as you can also see on the attached vid) - more appropriate for how we are set up. Other than that, installation is simple. One bracket to attach to the wall and it's job done!I'd recommend this fan.
