16-Inch Black DC Motor Quiet Pedestal Fan

A bit of backstory, I've spent the last month looking for a new bedroom fan to replace the ten year old junk fan we had. I've bought about 10 different fans ranging in price from $30-75 from Walmart, Amazon, Sam's Club and Home Depot. Tried 3 different Lasko 5 blade DC motor fans from Sam's too. Every single one had badly balanced blades and mediocre stability. The AC motor fans weren't much more efficient than our old junker. The old 16" fan used 20-60w between the 1-3 settings. I took a chance on this Pelonis based on the reviews and the manual. The base is heavy and stable, the motor is quiet and as efficient as comparable DC motor fans, the features all seem to work well, and it's super quiet. Using my power meters, this fan pushes an impressive amount of air under 10W and tops out at roughly 37W at max power. Half of the power range is under 10W and moves a great deal of air. It's impressive how quiet everything is and how nicely balanced the blades were. Even the packaging was better on this unit vs everything else. The assembly wasn't too bad, the fit between the main post and the motor unit was a tad snug. Working the fan cage ring on took a few minutes too, but overall I'd say it was quite easy. The only negative I can see is the price and the 1 year warranty, but I feel that I got my money's worth if this lasts a few years. Either way, the power savings are significant. Old fan at "2" ~40w running almost year round = ~$40/yr in electricity Old fan at "3" ~55w running almost year round = ~$56/yr in electricity New fan at "6" ~10w running almost year round = ~$10/yr in electricity - similar airflow to "2" New fan at "8" ~15w running almost year round = ~$15/yr in electricity - similar airflow to "3"

I have purchased many stand up fans over the years as I have a big family! I was hesitant at first to purchase this fan as it was a bit more expensive than others I have bought at my local Costco, Sam’s Club, Walmart or Target however, I did and I am very happy. Here are the Pros and Cons. *Here Are The Pros: This fan is very easy to assemble and I have really bad arthritis & fibromyalgia and I was able to assemble it with no problem. It took 5-10 minutes at tops. I really like the base as it was heavy duty and not going to crack or cause the fan to wobble or fall over. This was a big plus as I have purchased other fans where the base was flimsy or eventually cracked, causing the fan to fall to the side rendering it useless. The fan speeds are a great option and all seem to work well. From the lowest speed to the highest speed, I was pleased with all levels of air. This fan is for a 12x 15 living room and it was very strong and did the job. The noise reduction feature was also a big plus. *Here Is The Cons: The snap to hold the fan together at the base of the fan is plastic and I would have preferred it to be metal. Also, with such a beautiful fan and all the bells and whistle‘s that it offers, I would have liked a nice slick black remote for this fan. It came with a bright white plain, cheap looking remote. *Overall: With that being said... I still gave this fan (5)*****STARS! It is a heavy duty great fan🤗 UPDATE: Many have stated in their reviews that the “Remote Control” needs to be right in front of the fan in order to work! I found this to be the case as well. It needs to be directly in front of the fan within a few feet away. It will not work from a far distance or behind. I still will stick with my 5*****’s as it is a great fan! Just needs those couple miner tweaks in its manufacturing of this nice fan🤗

I’ve used a beloved Windmere pedestal fan I got at Costco at least 25 years ago which is still chugging along but needed a second one. Very happy with my choice. The only things I don’t like are that the cord emerges from the middle of the pedestal vs from beneath it so is ugly. Will prob use some black electrical tape to secure it to the pedestal. The base is a lot wider than my old Windmere so takes up more floor space. Unfortunate, but not going to ding a star on info that was there before I bought it. Assembly was a little annoying. The bolt that secures the fan actually tightens counter-clockwise. Took a while for me to catch on; thought I had managed to strip the plastic piece that screws on to the metal. Yeah, felt dumb because I wrestled with it longer than I’d like to admit but who knew it’d be ‘leftie tightie!’ Then, took quite a few tries to get the front and back grill to attach properly (design could be better, but okay ...) Now to the things I really like. It’s quiet (so is my Windmere) so I can hear my outdoor fountain over it which was vital. The remote is basic and works, with my only challenge figuring a strategy not to lose it! If I do, at least the controls are midway up the pedestal vs on the base like my Windmere so far easier to see and operate. Love the 12 speeds. The lowest yields the slightest air movement and the highest a serious blast. Way better than the 3 speeds of my other fan. Digital readout is helpful, and appreciate that when one starts the fan it remembers the last setting so no need to keep cycling through speeds. Bottom line? I’ve made this fan primary and relegated my beloved, trusty Windmere to secondary status.

Lo compré por las características de bajo ruido y en verdad que es excelente

Excelente ventilador con 12 niveles de potencia. Silencioso, y con regulación que permite un viento suave , sin sobre ventilar el cuerpo. Muy recomendado y su precio muy favorable

My very beloved fan crossed the rainbow bridge about two weeks ago and I took shopping for its replacement very seriously. I'm happy I found this one. This fan does it all. It can be quiet, it can be reasonably loud. If you're like me and enjoy feeling like you're standing in a wind tunnel or very pleasant tornado while you sleep, this fan is wonderful! But don't worry if you're not; the lower speeds offer just a slight breeze. It's much prettier than my old one (RIP) and the remote is a nice touch. The fact that I don't have to get up to change the speed in the middle of the night is a game-changer. I can also change the direction! Just brilliant. Minor criticisms for buyers to beware of: 1. The beep whenever you change something— if you're putting this in a child's room or nursery, you might wake them up when you change speeds, make it swing, or set the timer. It's pretty loud. 2. The remote is really uncomfortable to hold. Granted this doesn't really matter since you won't be spending much time holding it at all, but... definitely could've contoured a bit and rounded the edges for a better hand feel. It's also huge for a remote with only four buttons— I've seen TV remotes smaller— but maybe that was unavoidable. I'm no remote expert. The pros definitely outweigh the cons, and I'm quite happy with my purchase. If anything goes wrong I'll update here (like the motor stopping or something breaking) but I don't think it'll happen. Seems well-made and sturdy! Edit: Still using and loving this fan in 2024!

A major upgrade from a crappy Canadian Tire special fan I purchased a few years ago. The set up was quick and painless if you've ever set up a pedestal fan before (if not, instructions were good!). Very quiet, 12 speeds is probably overkill. Only complaint on initial impressions is that the remote only works under 10ft from the fan. Not so good for large rooms and kind of pointless for me. This will be going in my bedroom so I'm happy it's quiet!

Tengo poco tiempo con él por lo que no se que pase al año o mas. Por el momento todo muy bien. Bonito y silencioso (suficiente para dormir)
