Customers are mixed about the sturdiness of the fan. Some mention that it has a heavy base that makes it very sturdy, the build is top-notch, and it's stronger than an average ceiling fan. However, some say that certain components felt flimsy and the fan wobbled slightly during operation. The remote is very cheaply made and doesn't work all the time. The blade was broke on arrival and the box was torn.

Works great, but the instructions are a pain
5 Stars
Works great, but the instructions are a pain
Once I finally got the thing together correctly I’m really happy with the purchase.My confusion came from the instructions. The drawings are not super clear with the head of the fan. I ended up not putting what I thought was just a guard for safe shipping back on to actually secure the head.This was influenced from needing to remove a guard in a previous step (that isn’t listed in the instructions) and it having no use other than safe shipping.At the end of the day it’s a really simple setup with no screws. (There’s 1 but it doesn’t really do anything considering there are clips to secure the cage sides throughout.)So if you mess up like me you can easily disassemble without having to worry about breaking anything and fix the problem and put it back together quickly.Another plus is the Amazon basics logo is a very muted gray, not the white listed in the picture. I’m happy with that as I don’t want any white logo sticking out on a black product.Also it’s fast. The lowest speed gives off quite a bit of wind, so if you’re wanting a gentle breeze maybe you can stick it all the way across a big room or something. Definitely faster than what a lowest common ceiling fan would give you.I’d say the lowest speed on this fan is equivalent or more than what you’d get on the highest setting of most ceiling fans.Remote is great. I didn’t know it came with a remote until after I ordered it so huge plus, however it doesn’t come with batteries and you will need 2 AAA.Haven’t used the timer setting yet and not sure I ever will but it sounds like a nice feature maybe.In terms of sturdiness… the base is pretty heavy so that’s good. But at the end of the day it’s just a simple screw holding the fan in the base (not screwed to the base) with a knob on the bottom. So if you have kids or animals that could run into this thing then maybe you want something sturdier. But I didn’t expect an industrial strength quality at this price point.Overall very happy with what I received for the price. If I had to buy another one for another room tomorrow I would without hesitation.

Easy to assemble. Crisp design, doesn’t take up a lot of footprint. My previous Lasko fan had a huge base that made it tough to move around. This one is much smaller and sturdier. I like how tall this gets - makes it great for a living room, or in my bedroom where I have quite a tall bed. The speed variations are good. It performs reasonably quietly even at the highest speed. It also doesn’t have that annoying long static position at the end of an oscillation - it changes direction fairly quickly. Only design flaw I would say is the lack of on device storage for the remote control. Would have liked a magnetic base or a slot to clip it. Overall, a great find at a very good price

Reviewed in the United States on September 22, 2019
Color: BlackVerified Purchase
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.

I've bought many fans thru the years. This one is amazing. I was prepared to hate it... and I've only used it one night but I am so impressed!

I had no problems with the instructions. It was easy to follow.
Here's why I love it...
The fan has a remote! Bonus!
The fan has wind speed.
The fan is very quiet.
The fan has a timer.
Best part... the fan has modes! You can use normal, nature (switches from low to high wind randomly like a breeze outside), and sleep (does gradual cycles thru medium and low breezes).

It's only day 1 but I plan on buying a few more.

Love it!

I love this fan!!! My old fan I'd had for years conked out and in-between seasons a fan is important! Assembly was easy up until installing the blades. The instructions weren't clear but a helpful Youtube video got me together. When I turned on the fan I was blown away! LOL This fan is powerful but quiet! Worth the money and I'm happy with my purchase.

Only thing is the upper base isn't sturdy as my metal post didn't have a hole to secure at the twist knob. If I forget and lift it by the base it will come apart. Otherwise, the fan is perfect!

This fan has great airflow that is pushed in a strong, concentrated stream. It really is much quieter than most fans at this price point. The swivel function seems to have been designed and implemented using some method that is just sturdier and of higher quality than similar fans

I did not care about the remote when I bought it but it has turned out to be a useful convenience. The natural breeze function works fine if you are into that. I am pleased with my purchase and believe this fan is a great value. You would be hard pressed to find a better floor fan for the price.

It's so good for the price. The floor is heavy, so it's stable and the quality is not bad. You won't regret it if you buy it.

 Lo recomiendo ampliamente, está muy bonito, los materiales son de muy buena calidad, el ensamblado súper fácil, la base me encantó por qué es más pequeña que otros ventiladores de pedestal pero trae una placa que le añade de peso y le da estabilidad, es silencioso y bastante potente, las aspas son de plástico, una es transparente y otra color blanco y las protecciones de metal, lo volvería a comprar sin dudar

For some reason, I wasn’t expecting anything else out of the ordinary. But this product surprised me. It is build nicely, easy to assemble, made with durable plastic, the features are pretty cool, specially the “nature mode” that constantly changes the fan speed to simulate a natural breeze. I won’t have to buy another fan ever.
