    Clear marking on gray round knob for high to low speed would help to see which way to turn. Gray marking on gray know makes not clear

    Broke one week after I bought it. The fan constantly unscrewed itself and the blade falls off.

    Purchased fan for my RV. It leaked oil from the main motor and I had to put it on a small soft cloth to catch the drip and so the cheap base would not scratch the wood counter top. Fan works great, but not worth the price.. Disappointed in the cheap plastic base and leaking motor.

    Another defective item purchased from Best Buy... I can't be the only person who gets defective items when I purchase from Best Buy... Seems just about everything I purchase from them is either bad When I get it home or goes bad within a few days! This fan Died in 3 days and Best Buy would not allow me to return due to being flagged for returning too many items. So out in front of the house it went .... Have pretty much written off Best Buy.

    Motor burned up within a few months of owning it. The dial knob could've been placed in a different area and the knob to stop rotation did not like to stay locked.

    Ok Fan, but Noisy

    Posted .
    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    This fan provide good air movement, has multiple speeds, tilts, and oscillates. Those are it good features. Unfortunately, it has some issues. The instructions say "insert lower end of the fan stem into the centre hole of the base until locked in place." It doesn't warn you about having to align the retaining clip. The parts are badly sized and I had to bang on it to get it assembled. I thought the plastic would break, but luckily didn't. The on/off/speed combo swivel switch is awkward. The fan is noisy! Very nosy on high and still noisy on the lowest setting. Too noisy for a small office or bedroom.

    Question

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    I am trying to figure out the CFM (actual air speed). Does anyone know this information? Thank you!

      We do not provide a CFM rating for any of our fans as there are too many factors which would make the results unreliable. Unfortunately at this time, we do not perform any testing in relation to determining a CFM, and we apologize for any inconvenience this may have caused. holmes
