Seville Classics UltraSlimline Indoor Bladeless Oscillating Tower Fan Quiet Cooling LED Display Space-Saving for Home w/ Remote and 7.5H Timer, Black Combo, 40" 4-speed / 17" 3-speed (75 degrees)

This was the top-rated household fan on The Sweethome, and I needed one, so I decided to try it out. I'd have to agree that it's a great fan.First of all, it's quiet for the amount of air it moves. It's certainly quieter than my Dyson AM05, and moves more air.The fan has "natural" wind" mode that varies the intensity of the wind in a pattern that is predetermined, but that seems random. My wife and I have taken to using this mode when we sleep; it's still cooling, but it doesn't seem to have quite the drying effect that we usually get from having constant wind on us all night.We use this mode in conjunction with the timer function. You can set a timer on the fan in 30 minute increments, anywhere from 30 minutes to 7.5 hours. This is nice because it's not uncommon for the temperature to drop during the night, so what started out as a comfortable amount of wind eventually becomes too cold by the time morning comes around. The timer allows us to have the fan shut off during the night, before it becomes "too cold".This fan also includes a remote control that allows access to all of the fan's features, and which stores conveniently on the back of the fan. We actually don't end up using the remote very often, but it's nice to have.There some ways that this fan could be improved:* The fan could remember the last amount of time that you set the timer for. As it is, since we usually have it run for seven hours a night in the summer, I still have to tap the timer button 14 times to set it. And it beeps every time you press the button. And I have to do this every night. There's basically no way anyone else in the room is not going to wake up when you're doing this. If pressing the timer button once would just bring up the amount of time you set it for last time, that would be preferable.* It could be easier to hit the controls when the fan is oscillating. As it is, when the fan oscillates, so does the control panel. You know what's not easy when you're half asleep? Hitting a moving button 14 times. It's easier to just turn oscillation off, do what you need to do, and then turn oscillation back on.* The remote could be more usable in the dark. It has an LCD display, but you really can't tell what you're pressing or what mode the fan is in without a light.All in all though, this is a great fan. Try pairing the "natural wind" mode with a thunder/rain noise machine, and you're practically sleeping in a storm. Surprisingly relaxing.

I love this fan. I'm not only writing this review for this fan that I recently purchased, but also for the same fan that I purchased nearly 8 years ago that is still running like a champ. Last year I bought the new 2-fan set from Costco and they were crap; the larger fan has already died and is in the garbage. The Seville Classics fan seems more sleek, quiet, powerful, and just more elegant. It serves its purpose just fine, and has a great amount of options to increase convenience. I love the single push button for On/Off power, 1 of my biggest pet-peeves with the old fan was that you had to toggle through all power levels simply to turn the fan off.It's worth noting that the ventilation holes on the side of the fan are large enough for children to get their fingers through (I have a 10-month old). I don't know if they could reach the internals and hurt themselves, but you should at least be aware that this is a risk. I don't think this is worthy of a lower rating because all fans need ventilation to work; just be careful.My only gripe is the remote control for the fan. It's more odd than irritating. Pressing the buttons on the remote toggles through the settings on the remote, regardless if your fan is reading the changes or not. For instance; if your fan is off - you block the IR signal (it's an IR remote) and hit the power button.... the remote thinks the fan is on even though the fan hasn't actually turned on (you blocked the signal!). Unblock the signal and hit power again and the remote sends the "Off" signal to the fan, resulting in nothing because the fan is already off. So the remote toggles through the setting irrespective of the actual fan settings, which is weird. Again, not worthy of lowering the rating. It's a great fan.

After going through many review sites and seeing a few fans in person, we settled on this Unit for our Texas home. If it's good enough for a Husky and wife that needs air on her constantly I'd say this is a definite repurchase if ever need be. Speed setting are perfect, level 1 and 2 are where I prefer where enough air is moving and quite as a mouse. Level 3 does get a little bit noisy but news or music on medium on an Echo 2 drown it out with ease. That level 4 is definitely going to be noticeable but is nowhere near as loud as our circular fan which on its first level moves just as much air but quite a bit louder!Other than this rotation is solid as it can cover our small kitchen and dinning room where the dogs hang out. Speaking of, the Husky loves this and with the heat already hitting 100s in South Texas, this was a great addition to getting the most AC to her spot. The wife loves it too and unless you are that sensitive to noise, we can do a level 3 and sleep through the whole night with no issues.Only complaint is there was a couple of days in which it would randomly downgrade the speed to 1. Thought it was the outlet or surge protector but after a block wide power outage, it came back to normal usage.Usually is on all day long and doesn't give any more issue aside that hiccup mentioned above.Note on the remote, there is an infrared bar in the front you must hit and works a nice couch companion for the weekends.Again would very much repurchase for it's well off size to performance for the price!

We love this fan because it really moves air around and has plenty of great features to customize for different needs.Multiple speed and variable speed capabilities can go from gale force wind to breezy summer afternoon. The oscillating feature allows you to adjust air direction without moving the base. The remote is ok, and handles the same functions as the main unit.The only downside is that it is on the old side. But unless you’re willing to pay Dyson money, I think all fans will be around the same noise level. Small price to pay for a quality and powerful fan.
