Duronic Pedestal Fan FN30, Air Cooling Electric Cooler Summer Floor Standing Fan, Oscillating Rotating, Height Adjustable, 16 Inch Tilting Head,60W, ideal for Home of Office

An excellent fan, and really pushes the air. It's neat and tidy, with a heavy circular base that you won't trip over; (a smaller "footprint" than some). The base is covered by a nice but quite thin white plastic cover. This cover is quite easily split, cut, or damaged however if you bash it accidentally when pushing the stand around the floor (before or after assembly). For me, the first hurdle to negotiate in assembling the fan, was to find the shiny metal extension pillar shown in the contents parts list and diagram. I couldn't find mine at all in the packaging, so I assumed that this extension piece must already be installed inside one of the two main halves of the stand, ready to be pulled out, but it was however nowhere to be seen! After ransacking the cardboard box and all the remaining packaging again with no success, and contemplating returning the fan to Amazon as "incomplete", I returned yet again to the two main pillar tubes where again only black plastic met my eyes; no shiny metal. One last determined examination of the plastic, and a firm tug on one of them finally revealed the missing shiny tube, hidden out of sight, and sulking quietly beneath! It surrendered with little protest, and joining the two main tubes with it was then straightforward. The rear half of the safety cage, and the five bladed fan were easy to install, and of course the screw thread for the blades is the reverse of normal direction (so that torque doesn't unscrew the blades when running). Fitting the front half of the cage proved a different matter though. Most domestic fans rely on a simple metal hook/flange at the top to hang the front cage onto the rear part; two or three swing clips secure the two together, then a small discreet nut and bolt at the bottom prevents the cage being removed accidentally (in particular by curious children). This has always worked well. This fan however adopts a different style. The two halves of the cage have no swing clips or latches of any kind; they are held together only by a surrounding plastic strap which is suitably profiled to fit around the rims, and is tightened finally into place by a small bolt and nut. It's a perfectly good arrangement, except that without someone's help to hold the reluctant parts together while you tighten the nut, they will between them defy you to the last! However, if you've got someone to provide that extra hand or two, you'll find things much, much easier! Having said all that, the fan is very good once you've got it together. It's good value in my opinion, and certainly does the job you want in hot humid weather. As for noise levels, I don't think, even on the fastest speed setting, the fan could be accused of excessive noise, though the level is a little greater than less powerful fans. I'm pretty experienced at assembling things out of a box, but having put this particular fan together, I'm now suitably humbled, even embarrassed, at not locating the "missing" extension tube for the best part of half an hour or more!. So, regarding this tube; if only the manufacturer had added a bold note somewhere on the illustration and parts list, "This item is located within the lower main tube beneath a plastic insert", things would have gone much better, for me at least. I hope that others locate the extension tube faster than I did, and can successfully do battle with the fan covers!

This is a proper 60w fan. Most fans you get are 40 to 45w. It is noisy but the air throw outweighs the nuisance. Been using it for more than 2 years now and still going strong. The base is sturdy. The build quality is sub par but I bought it for £20 and at that price it is worth more than the price. Now it is 35 quid at which price I will spend a bit more and get proper metal one. No way I'll pay that price. It does slow down every 2 weeks or so due to dust build up but then I live on the main road. You might not have that problem. Great fan if not the best , but not worth 35 quid for sure. If you are dead set on spending no more than that , then this is the one yo go for.

This is a decent budget fan and does the job well. The fan is a little tricky to assemble on your own but is pretty straightforward. It’s of a good quality for the price and very sturdy. It did smell of plastic for a day or so but this soon went. It is very powerful and produces a good breeze. We have it on the lowest setting which is more than adequate. One minor point is it is quite loud on the highest setting and sounds like a light aircraft taking off! All things considered we are very pleased and would recommend it.

Fan is fantastic! Sturdy, powerful in a great price. On setting number 1 I am cooling large living room area with open plan kitchen. It is very powerful. Assembly was easy and pdf instruction must be downloaded from company website, which is actually environmentally friendly. I switched fan for a few seconds on number 3 and it was too much wind power but I think it will be useful when heatwave will come. Only issue I found during assembly it was with that round plastic that supposed to hold both blades covers. I was trying to follow instruction and eventually managed to attach both covers but I suggest to stick the top part of the fan on the pole, then attach second cover. It will be easier.

Easy to put together. It’s nice and sturdy. Very cooling and quiet. Very pleased with it. Highly recommend
