Duronic Pedestal Fan FN45 | Oscillating/Rotating | Three Speed Settings | Floor Standing | Height Adjustable | 16 Inch Tilting Head | Timer Function | Electric 60W | Home/Office Cooling For Summer

Hi there. This is the second one of these fans I have purchased in 18 months, so impressed with the first that I bought for my mother that I got myself one. Now if you check the bad reviews of this product, many of them are from folks that had difficulty assembling the item or on occasion had a part missing. Quite how this can be the case in terms of difficulty assembling when it has very few parts I am at a bit of a loss to understand when reading them. So, if you buy this fan, some tips for happy duronic fanning: 1. Lay out all the parts, keep in mind you will have to undo a small holding screw that is holding the fanblade and cages together during transport. It seems many have come a cropper due to this. 2. Take your time, assemble the fan from the bottom up. 3. When it comes to the cage, put the back cage housing on BEFORE you put the fan blades on. Dont forget the nut to hold the cage on the motor housing, then pop your fan blades on. 4. Remember, when putting the fan blades on, the fan blade nut tightens counter clockwise. 5. When putting on front cage section, do not adjust the rubber strap. Just pop the strap on the front cage section over its lip, hold that up to the back part and you can pull the rubber strap over both cage sections lips. After that you can tighten it via the adjustment screw if needed but it should be pretty ok as it is, unless yours came real lose but the two I bought were fine, no adjustment needed. Missing parts: This happens to many a seller and product, it's life. The fact that people wasted their time and money and carbon emissions sending items like this back for a missing part (as can be seen in reviews) is just bonkers to my mind. My second fan turned up with a missing nut to hold the back part of the cage on the motor housing. I contacted duronics here and told them of a missing part. I expected 48 to 72hrs for a reply but I got one within 12hours of sending, they apologised and sent over an exploded diagram of the fan with the parts you get sent and numbers on them. I sent back the part number I was missing that same day, and they had the part to me within 72 hours after that. What more can you ask for from customer service?? at least give em a chance to solve the problem eh. Sending things back without at least trying to get the missing part, then bad reviewing a good product with good service, is just stupid in my book as such good service is rare, but this is what some are like I guess. Anyway, these are good fans, overpowered for the size, usually 16 inch fans = 40watt motors, these are 60 watt. V few are at this size so if you want a real strong breeze from a relatively small footprint simple to use fan, these would tick that box. Best wishes. and p.s. No, I do not work for duronics, nor do I have any family nor friends nor know anyone who does, don't even know where they are based, but good product and service is worth my time to commend.

I saw a lot of mixed reviews for this fan so I was skeptical. This is the most simple fan I’ve ever put together. As long as you screw everything nice and tight, it won’t wobble or move. Very sturdy, powerful and great price! The only downside for some people is that it’s not very quiet, but I prefer this as I use the fan noise to help me sleep!

First and most importantly this is absolutely NOT a quiet fan despite the five-bladed design. It is significantly louder than our comparably sized Rowenta 'Turbo Silence' but, it is also around a third of the price so we obviously weren't expecting the same quality or performance. That said, it is very effective at moving a nice wide stream of air without the excessive choppiness or buffeting common with cheaper 3-bladed designs. The lowest setting is also more than adequate for cooling and ensuring air circulation in a a moderately large living room. The base is stable, assembly was straightforward and no more complex than any other fan I've owned and the construction seems tough enough for home use. Do note that on anything above the lowest setting the quality gap becomes more apparent as the poorly balanced blade begins to vibrate, becoming even worse at the highest setting. However, given that the lowest setting is so effective it's unlikely we'll ever use it on the higher settings. Acceptable quality, decent performance and a fair price. Not much to argue with.

I purchased this fan expecting decent quality given its price, but I was let down. For context, I own another fan that cost less than half as much and feels far sturdier and better made. The assembly process for this fan is frustrating, especially the fan blade cover. Instead of using multiple clips for easy attachment, it relies on a single plastic strip that you have to awkwardly fiddle with to secure both covers. This design choice feels cheap and poorly thought out. The fan itself is just okay. The plastic blade and overall build feel flimsy, and the screw holding the top part in place seems fragile, like it could strip or break easily. At £15, I might have overlooked these flaws, but at its current price, it’s simply not worth it. I’m disappointed with the quality and would not recommend this fan for the cost.

Arrived next day. Works well, very powerfull but a bit to noisy to have on all night
