Fan
Small fan, light weight. It really cools us off. Plus it is a oscillating fan. I am very happy with this item. Would purchase it again.

Very Quiet Oscillating Fan
The Star Elite Holmes 16” Big Breeze Table Fan is an oscillating table fan. It is reasonably quiet, even on high and oscillates smoothly. This fan has six blades rather than the typical 3 or 4. The fan has three speed settings. The fan comes unassembled. But assembly is easy, does not require any tools, and there are basic instructions included. At first, I was a bit put off by the fact that the stand, housing, fan cage, etc. are all plastic. I reconciled this a bit as I discovered how much quieter this fan is than my comparison fan that has a metal fan cage. Things I like: • The fan tilts by simply pushing the fan head/cage up or down. There are no thumb screws to loosen and tighten and no set “click” stops. It seems to stay where I adjust it without slipping during operation. • It is fairly quiet, compared to a similar fan I already owned. • When you turn the control knob the first stop is low. One of the things that annoys me about my old fan is that you have to go from off past high and medium to get to low. On the Star Elite Holmes 16” Big Breeze Table fan, you go from off to low, then medium then high. I like this much better since I normally run the fan on low. Summary: I would recommend this fan to anyone needing a large table fan. It is quiet and seems well built in spite of the plastic base and housing. The fan oscillates quietly too, with no click click click as it moves back and forth.

Great product
This fan works wonderfully. It is quite a large which is bigger than I thought. The assembly of this fan only took a few minutes which surprised me. Instructions were definitely easy to understand! The fan is quite heavy so make sure ypu place this fan somewhere sturdy and safe away from children. This fan definitely packs a punch of air when you use it. There is 3 levels on this fan and they work great. I placed this fan in my bedroom and it cools off my bedroom in no time. Level one is the perfect setting for bedtime and the fan is super quite. Level three on the other hand could blow you away but great for those super hot days. I love how it moves throughout the room. This fan is perfect for any home to add to any room. It is definitely a big fan which is to big for a table but it does get the job done. Big breeze that definitely cools you off quickly. Great to use around pets which my dogs absolutely loved the big breeze that this fan gave off. They would lay infront of this fan for hours and well so could i.

Powerful oscillating table fan
The 16" Holmes Oscillating Table Fan is a great addition to any room that needs a boost in airflow. This fan provides a powerful breeze that can cool down even the stuffiest of spaces. Its compact size makes it perfect for small rooms or personal use, while its oscillating feature ensures that the breeze is spread evenly throughout the room. One of the things I love about this fan is how easy it is to use. The simple controls on the bottom of the fan allow you to adjust the speed quickly and easily. The fan is also very quiet, so it won't disrupt your activities or conversations while it's running. The fan's design is sleek and modern, making it a stylish addition to any room. The black plastic body is easy to clean and maintain, and the sturdy base keeps the fan stable on any surface. The main drawback was that the fan was not easy to assemble. The plastic fan casing was difficult to snap into place to the rear. However, this is a one-time problem since once assembled you don’t have to deal with this problem again. Overall, I am very pleased with the Holmes Oscillating Table Fan. It provides a powerful and refreshing breeze, is easy to use, and has a sleek and modern design. I would definitely recommend this fan to anyone in need of a reliable and efficient cooling solution.

Nice Fan but Problematic Assembly
This Big Breeze fan does in fact provide a nice breeze with its six fan blades but getting it assembled can be a challenge due to the large use of plastic parts. Overall the fan moves a lot of air and is reasonably quiet. The three speeds along with the tilt and oscillation make this a very usable fan. The downside of this fan is that it has a lot of plastic parts that need to be fitted together to complete the assembly. I was able to get mine assembled and I do like the fan but there were definitely some head scratching and frustrating moments getting it assembled. If you good at assembling things and don’t mind the plastic then this is a decent fan to get. If however you aren’t good at assembling things I would not recommend this fan. The base, fan blades and the front and rear fan blade guards are all made of plastic. The fan comes in several parts; the motor assembly, the base, the blade assembly and the front and rear blade guards. The base and blade assembly were simple enough to attach to the motor assembly. The frustration starts when you try to get the front and rear blade guards to snap together. They are both large circular pieces of plastic and mine weren’t quite the same roundness so I had to push and pull as I tried to get the plastic tabs to interlock with each other. I found the best way to assemble this was to start at one end and interlock one tab at a time as I conformed the plastic pieces into alignment. Like all plastic parts just as you get a tab inserted another one comes undone. Once I got all the tabs inserted the guards felt reasonably solid but knowing these tabs are the only thing keeping the front guard in place is a little concerning.
