Amazon Basics 16" Pedestal Fan with Remote for Bedroom, Living Room, Office, Adjustable Height, Dual-Layered Blades, 3 Speeds, 3 Modes, Timer, Tilt Head, 60W, Black

I recently decided to purchase a 2nd pedestal fan & was surprised to realize that its been 5 yrs since I purchased the 1st one. It still works great. Very easy to assemble, maybe 5 minutes work. Quiet, easy to clean & a bargain at this price.

Wonderful effective quiet fan. Easy to control from a remote device. I placed it in front of an open window and it cools the room to the outside temperature. Moving air is better than still air even in overly warm weather. The telescoping height is great to reach the window. It stays inside.

This fan is awesome 😎😎😎 come with remote three speed gears it's deluxe and built with quality also has 3 modes one mode that is my favorite is the sleep mode it's so peaceful 🤓

It's a decent fan. There are 12 settings but you can't feel anything under setting 5. So really, more like 6 settings. The remote control also turns on my tv, but that's just a minor first-world problem. The fan is relatively quiet, but not as quiet as my Honeywell. The higher settings are definitely too loud, but 5-7 is tolerable. It's still a pretty good fan, I just wish it was a little quieter.

Well, here I am a year later to report this oscillating fan suddenly decided to do something VERY bad. It put out a loud electrical 'snap' & the fan blades stopped working. Oh, it still oscillates but it can't go fast enough going just side-to-side to generate a breeze. Of course this happened just one week past it's one year warranty. (LOL) I do like the fan, so I'll probably buy another next Spring. As to my original review: If you’re looking for a very nice oscillating fan with an excellent remote this one is a very good value. HOWEVER, first you have to assemble it. If I didn’t know better & it didn’t have the AmazonBasics® logo I swear the instructions were designed by IKEA®. [Anyone who’s ever tried to assemble that particular brand of furniture knows what I’m talking about.] I guess when they say 'Basics', they mean it. For those who are considering purchasing this item & wants to escape [most of] the assembly frustration here are some of the high points NOT covered in the instruction manual: 1) Go ahead & unpack everything. You will find all the parts there… someplace, somewhere. 2) Assembly of the base is dead easy. Pg. 6- 7. Unscrew the knob off the bottom, insert the stand & tighten the knob. 3) Following the directions…what little there are…slide main unit onto standard & tighten those knobs. I should mention that the LOWER knob is the one you loosen/tighten in order to extend the fan higher or lower. The other knob secures the main housing to the extendable arm. This isn’t mentioned till page 13. But, so far, so good. Now comes the good parts! 4) Remove the large fan blades off the back of the unit. Remove the Star Trek insignia shaped piece of plastic which is clipped to the blades. (I couldn’t for the life of me figure out what that thing was doing there or if I should take it off. It certainly looks like it belongs but it eventually it dawned on me this was just basically excess material.) Go ahead and toss it because it’s what’s known in the vernacular as a pocket part…just something they stuck on & it looks like you need it but it’s never mentioned. Put the blades aside for now. 5) Look on the shaft sticking out on the base. That’s where the knob you’ve been looking for is. It's not mentioned but you need a pair of pliers to hold the shaft while you turn the knob RIGHT in a reverse fashion to unscrew it. DON’T mess with the pins sticking out of the shaft, you’ll need them later. [Note: this is the opposite of the normal ‘lefty-loosey, righty-tighty’] 6) Now that you have the knob off go ahead & slide that black sheath off the post. Guess what, you get to throw that away too! It took me probably 15 minutes to figure out the blades’d never fit on the shaft with the sheath on. Turns out that piece wasn’t needed, either. Please note its presence is not mentioned anywhere in the directions. 7) Now that you have all the nice things they never told you about out of the way, go ahead and unscrew the fixing ring of the main unit’s front. You can do this by hand. Mount the rear fan guard onto the shaft with the 2 pin holes facing up & the single pin facing down.[You’re still on page 7] Screw on the fixing ring [not the small screw you took off the shaft] until it’s hand tight. 8) Now slide the large blades onto the shaft. If you look on the base of the fan blades you’ll see a small notch which has to be aligned with the pins on the shaft. You have to twist around & back to see the slot. Line them up & slide on the blades. 9) The smaller blades (this is a dual blade set) slide onto the shaft next with the tiny teeth facing out. [Didn’t think I’d make you guess, did you? The manufacturer did.] Now use that small knob you took off the shaft in Step 5 to affix all the blades in place. Remember, this is ‘left-to-tighten’ instead of the normal ‘turn right for tight’. 10) NOW comes the super fun part & it's definitely not in the directions. Take the main unit back OFF the base and lay on something flat like a bed or the floor. At this point I needed a VERY small Phillips head screwdriver (~1/32”), a 2nd person & a few strips of duct tape to manage this step. 11) There is a rubber strip with a screw at the bottom you have to wrap around the back fan guard, blades and all & the front one at the same time with everything EXACTLY lined up. The part with the screw goes at the bottom of the guards. You can’t hold the 2 parts together easily, so that’s where the duct tape comes in. I used 3 1”x ¼”strips, [though if you strip 2 or 3 twist ties down to the wire & use them to secure pieces I think they’d work even better], just enough tape to help plus my spouse to hold the front & back guards together while I fit the rubber ring around them. This step took more than 30 minutes to accomplish with the guards sliding all over the place, the duct tape coming loose because you can’t leave it on, trying to open the ring just enough to let it go around the 2 pieces, fitting the ring's track around both while my husband’s using a magnifying glass to see well enough to tighten the screw all while I’m trying to hold everything stable with pillows stuffed around the base to keep it from turning & twisting. Get the idea? I think we both learned a few new 4 letter words with this last step. If you don’t have the type of screwdriver in your home toolbox you can get one in the eyeglass repair kits at the local CVS or Walgreens. They’re about 5 bucks so. Once you get it tightened, you should be done. Don’t bother looking for a nut on the end of the screw as there isn’t one, which is a very strange design. Normally this means you can’t keep loosening/tightening the screw without stripping the mounting. I wouldn’t know; once we got started with tightening of the screw we just kept going as best we could until we got both guards together. 12) Replace the main unit back on the stand & tighten the knobs. 13)The remote is nothing after all that. Slide off the cover, pop in 2 AAA batteries, slide the cover back on & you're good to go. I will say it’s really nice to have a remote-controlled oscillating fan. I can control on/off, speed, mode, isolation & a timer for sleep. I just wish somebody taught AmazonBasics® how to write directions.

This fan is absolutely amazing. It comes with a remote that does all the work for you. You don’t have to get up or move a muscle. I want to buy everyone. I love this fan. That’s how good it is. Only complaint I have is that it doesn’t blow as strong as I would like for it to blow other than that no complaints whatsoever. It was pretty simple for my dad to put up, but that’s my dad. lol

I have a hard time finding good fans. I had a Lasko that lasted me over 15 years. And every fan I bought after that one finally died was never up to par. They either started leaking, made too much noise down the line, or was no longer blowing strong enough. And incase you're wondering, no I don't do any fan maintenance aside from cleaning the blades and vents. I finally bought this Amazon fan because it was on sale and decided to give it a try. Right off the bat, after assembling it, it blows crazy amount of air which I like. 12 speed is a bit excessive but I like options. The remote is handy but I rarely use it cause the fan is right next to me. When I have it on the lower speed like 4, it's quiet and blows a comfortable amount of air. And of course anything higher and then it gets loud which doesn't bother me. I was hoping the fan blade be a little bigger but that's my fault for not measuring my old Lasko fan before tossing it. The light on the little screen on the body of the fan is bright as hell especially when you try to adjust the speed while being half awake. But the screen does go off after like 30 seconds. Can't say much on the lifespan or durability but I had for like a couple of months and it's still going.

The Amazon Basics Electric Fan is an excellent buy! It’s powerful, quiet, and so easy to use. The best part is the remote control – I don’t even have to get up to adjust the settings, which makes it super convenient, especially at night. It has multiple speeds and modes, and the airflow is strong enough to cool the room quickly. Assembly was simple, and the fan feels sturdy and well-made. For the price, the quality and performance are outstanding, that's why I bought one more. If you’re looking for a reliable fan that combines convenience and comfort, this one is perfect. Highly recommend!

El ventilador es muy sencillo de armar, para la parte de las aspas si es un poco confusa como lo dijo un comentario la parte protuberante lisa va hacia afuera para las dos aspas. Personalmente lo uso en modo "Eco" ya que esta función prende momentáneamente el ventilador durante periodos, lo que hace que el flujo no deje de cesar, y ahorra energia. Es bastante silencioso a nivel 1, yo lo uso durante reuniones del trabajo y enserio es muy silencioso, cuando la noche es muy calurosa también lo dejo a nivel 1 o 2 y el ruido es poco o nulo. Contras: Maldito pitido molesto al subir velocidades o cambiar las cosas, ya con la pantalla es suficiente, tal vez un día de estos entre para desconectar esa bocina. Sin duda lo recomiendo, bastante calidad precio

This oscillating fan works amazing! It gives strong airflow, cools the room quickly, and the oscillation covers a wide area. It’s also surprisingly quiet, so it doesn’t disturb sleep. Great quality for the price – very happy with this purchase

Excelente calidad, la verdad que hasta la velocidad 5 no se escucha nada, y aunque lo pongas en la máxima velocidad, es bastante silencioso y la potencia es bastante fuerte. Super fácil de armar y muy bonito, combina bien con los muebles en mi sala.

Love this fan. I purchased this in the summer and I rarely ever turn it off. It has many different speeds and different settings. Quiet. Would purchase again for sure.
