    This fan is awesome. It’s quite but cools like no other fan I’ve had. It rotates up and down and side to side. Buy this fan with confidence you will not regret it.

    I love this fan, one of the things I love the most about this fan is that you can program it to be on automatically for a certain time and this has helped me to save light when I go to bed I just program it to be on for two hours and it turns itself off.

    We are very happy with this fan, it is just the right size in our bathroom. It is quiet on the first three speed settings, four and five are a bit louder, but not needed in the smaller room. It would be a good fan for larger rooms also. It moves a lot of air quitely. The fan has a place in the back to store the remote. The remote has separate buttons for horizontal and vertical that makes much easier to set the fan at a fixed position, the base has one button to set the fixed position, it takes multiple taps and is more difficult to control, you cannot move the fan up or down left or right manually. Up and down - and left and right can be on or off independent of each other. You cannot adjust the degree oscillation in any direction, it's on or off. (more expensive fans controlled by an app can be set to oscillate so many degrees up and down and so many degrees left and right) For our use of this fan, we are five star happy!

    Summer Lifesaver

    I am someone who’s very intolerant of the heat. Any temperature over room temperature gives me painful migraines. I decided to get the “WOOZOO Compact Globe Oscillating Fan w/ Remote” to help with this summer heatwave, and it’s been such a lifesaver! The first three speed levels are pretty quiet. You don’t really hear the fan until the last two speed levels, but I don’t mind as they become white noise in the background. The remote makes the fan extremely convenient since I don’t have to constantly get up to adjust it. This fan was delivered on June 6, 2024, and it’s now June 25, 2024. Almost three full weeks of use, and I don’t regret this purchase at all. Love this fan, and I can’t imagine another summer without it! Unfortunately, I did have to take one star off because there was a jumping spider feasting on a dead fly in my package. They were on the fan box when I opened the outer cardboard box. Took me half an hour to catch the spider because it kept hiding in the bubble wrap. This was not a pleasant surprise, but I’m not mad about it.

    This is by far the BEST fan Ive ever purchased! I live in a 2-level townhome condominium on the 3rd and 4th floors. Due to the elevation it gets really hot even when running my air conditioner. This little baby is a GAME CHANGER. I’ve literally had to turn the air to about 74 or 75 or it gets cold when using the fan. It’s small but the most powerful fan I’ve had!

    just as other reviewers who raved that this does a great job of passing the wind ,, i agree .. and i bet it is because of the engineering or design make it works .. i got this because of the remote ,, as this is in my bedroom and i can turn it on and off while in bed ... perfect .. the other added nice feature is definitely the panning and tilting up and down ,, all features making a worthwhile product ..

    I love these fans… this is my second one.. only “complaint” is that I wish I could turn off the lights on the fan. I have another version of this fan and that is an option.. the lights are bright when the room is dark but it didn’t sway me from purchasing.

    This fan has many features that are great. However, a couple major items that make me hesitant to recommend it. The fan on 4 and 5 speed settings gets significantly louder. The led lights on the fan base is very bright at night and the remote control does not have the turn off lights button shown in the product's listing. Considering this not a cheap fan I would recommend looking at alternatives.

    THE WOOZOO GLOBE FAN ~ COMPACT WITH BIG POWER!

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

    I was so happy to have received this fan as my old tower fan had taken a fall and broke. Perfect timing! It has 5 speeds and the lowest (which I will be using mostly at night in my bedroom) is extremely quiet which is perfect for sleeping. The highest speed truly blows out tons of air which is surprising for something this size. Conveniently it also has a remote control which offers all the fan functions and well placed buttons. The fan is very responsive to the remote and because I will be using it at bedtime the remote is so handy. There is an Hours Timer setting which can be 1-2 or 4. If not set the fan will stay on continuously. Another super thing is the oscillate feature. It will move the usual side to side but amazingly it will also oscillate up and down! This is the first fan I've ever owned that moves vertically too. Really awesome! Because of its smaller round form factor it doesn't use up much space on your table, dresser, nightstand or wherever you choose to place it. In the nice included instruction booklet there are some FAN PLACEMENT ideas offering six different ways you can use the fan to get the most out of it. See my attached photo for detailed descriptions but here are the 6 they suggest: 1. USE WITH AIR CONDITIONER 2. USE WITH A HEATER 3. CIRCULATION 4. VENTILATION 5. TWO ROOM CIRCULATION 6. DRYING LAUNDRY This WooZoo Globe fan is one of the best fans I've owned. Compact but so mighty ~ it gets the job done beautifully. I am very pleased and absolutely love it! Will be purchasing another for my TV room which gets really warm in the summer months. Reasonably priced and highly recommended!!

    I’ll start with I like this fan so much, this is my third! I now have one in every room in my house. It is the perfect size, puts out the perfect amount of air and it's the perfect sound to drown out my snoring when we are sleeping (speed 4) more on this below. There are five speed settings along with what they call a Natural Breeze feature that automatically cycles through what I believe to be the first two settings. This is supposed to replicate the feeling of a fluctuating wind pattern. I find this to be an interesting feature - it works but it's not a feature I use regularly. The most interesting feature about the WooZoo Globe fan is the oscillation. Not only does this fan sweep side to side but also, up and down. When both are selected it make a figure eight motion moving air though the whole room. The last nice feature of this model is the shutoff timer. You can choose 1, 2 or 4 hours to shut the fan off. All these features are also usable via the included remote control. I use this fan in my main room to supplement heating and cooling and the size is perfect for this. Using the middle speed (3) helps maintain a more consistent temperature throughout the space. If I need a bit more cooling I just speed it up for a more forceful breeze. If I'm being picky, my only complaint with the WooZoo Globe is the brightness of the indicator lights. Using this in the bedroom to sleep at night, the indicator lights are extremely bright so I covered them with tape. My issue however is that there is also a model that allows you to turn the indicator lights off but this one does not have it. This should be standard across all models. Otherwise, having three of these, I absolutely recommend it to anyone looking for a compact powerful air circulator.

    A Mighty Mite

    I was surprised how effective such a small fan could be. First of all, the Woozoo fan is full featured, with 5 speeds, breeze mode which varies the fan speed to mimic a gentle breeze; both horizontal and vertical oscillation and a timer which allows you to set shutoff times of 1, 2 or 4 hours. The fan also includes a small but versatile infrared remote control and so requires line of sight to operate. How does the fan perform? As I mentioned it has 5 speeds. The lowest speed is virtually silent but one can still feel the effect 14 feet away. The second speed is nearly silent and the third speed is fairly quiet. Only the 4th and 5th speed make much noise, by then you are moving serious amounts of air. The oscillating feature is great, allowing movement to both the right and left and/or up and down. You can also set horizontal and vertical oscillation at the same time. The timer function works very well, I tried the 1 hour setting and at the end of the hour, they fan just quietly shut down. I was pleased with how effective the fan is. I'm using it in my bedroom and even at lower speeds you can feel the effect of the fan. I love being able to control the fan using the remote control, I can adjust the fan from my bed without having to get up. The quiet operation is a plus for bedroom use with the first two fan speeds virtually silent.

    WooZoo -Compact Globe Oscillating Fan w/remote 5 speed. I love this little fan! It has been amazing I put it on my desk at work even though it was raining they turn the heat up and it is hot in the office. It has 5 speeds, the fan can tilt 80 degrees straight up, and it can rotate left to right 80 degrees. You can choose if you any just one rotation direction or can do both at the same time. It has three timer settings, natural breeze setting. It's small compact and super quiet! It says you can feel it up to 82ft away & room coverage is 352ft, in an enclosed room definitely can feel the fan to keep cool but it does not replace an ac I did however put it in front of the portable ac I have at home to blow air into the next room and it seemed to work very well. Helped cool of the kitchen when I was baking set it up on the window seal to suck the hot air out and it was the coolest I've had the kitchen in a while with having to have the ac full blast. The remote control it comes with is fully functional for all of the fan settings no need to go back & forth to the fan to change certain settings. This little fan is perfect for so many uses cause of the size and power.

    Ridiculously powerful & ultra-quiet; just get one!

    This is the third WOOZOO oscillating globe fan we’ve acquired over the past 2 years, and it seems that each one is just a slightly different iteration from the last, though nearly all functions and physical design features have remained the same from model to model. So, what is it that makes this latest little vortex-producing dynamo so great that I gladly went for a third? Let’s get right to the heart of the matter…you should absolutely believe the hype--this fan is SUPER powerful (for its size). No, it doesn’t provide the same gale-force cooling breeze as one of those huge prop fans you might see in an airplane hangar or waiting in line at Disney, but for a personal fan that doesn’t eat a lot of tabletop real-estate and won’t leave your ears ringing with ultra-loud motor noise, its performance ABSOLUTELY warrants the purchase price it commands (I bought our others at full retail and don’t even regret not waiting for a sale) whether you need direct or diffuse cooling for a small, medium, or even large-sized room. The construction is all plastic, naturally, but it doesn’t feel cheaply so; and the design is decidedly professional-looking, so it won’t seem out of place at all on an office desk or credenza. The grey, swirl-patterned vortex grille on the front offers a splash of tasteful contrast from the all-white colorway and is rounded outward to keep the lines/shape of the fan head completely spherical. The slats do not seem to constrict airflow at all (like I said, this thing pumps out a powerful enough gust to be surprising given its petite stature), but they are small enough and arch far enough away from the fan blades that the only way curious fingers might possibly get clipped by a blade is if you purposefully break the grille to get at them. The first two WOOZOO fans we bought featured a built-in carry handle at the back of the globe. This time around, there is a cutout slot in the carry handle to hold the remote control as well. It’s a subtle change to be sure, but you can move the fan from place to place without having to carry around the pocket remote separately…nice! Otherwise, there is a small array of intuitively labeled soft-touch buttons and LED indicators on the top surface of the fan’s pedestal; the iconography is duplicated on the remote which makes it easy to remember what control does what. The WOOZOO offers 3 timer settings (1, 2, and 4 hours) as well as constant operation if you just want to keep it running nonstop; a handy 3-segment green LED display corresponds to the timer setting that is currently selected. I usually forget I have the fan running because it’s so quiet (more on that later), so I set the 4-hour timer at my office desk in the morning and again after I get back from lunch so I don’t accidentally leave it running all night long. At the opposite end of the controls is the oscillation button…this control toggles through 3 settings so you can run the fan without oscillation at all, or spread the love around through vertical, horizontal, or vertical/horizontal combined oscillation settings. Again, a small LED illuminates over the horizontal and vertical oscillation icons indicating which setting/combination was selected. For all our WOOZOO globe fans, this one included, the horizontal and vertical movement is smooth and quiet without any creaks, groans, or stutters--and the last two we've had running daily for a few years now. There are 5 fan speeds marked by a 5-segment blue LED display with the option to both speed up and slow down with the double-ended control—this is a nice step up from some cheaper remote fans we use where the only option to slow down is to toggle through all the faster speeds until the slower one comes around again. The first 4 speed settings keep things quiet with very slightly but reasonable/expected increases in fan noise as you go higher, but nothing that I would call distracting. However, the fifth speed setting is like “super-turbo,” and it can really move the air around—but that setting runs the blades so fast and the motor so hard it *does* start to get intrusively loud and even begins to rattle the fan itself. I would probably only use that high setting to air out a particularly hot and stale room that I wasn’t going to be in for a while (or for very long). Technically, there is also a 6th speed setting which WOOZOO calls “Natural Breeze.” It’s my favorite feature of these fans and the one I now use almost exclusively for desk-side cooling. Instead of a steady, droning blast of air that can frankly get tiring or even produce enough chill to turn uncomfortable at times, this setting offers randomly and gently increasing and decreasing “breeze strength” cooling that honestly keeps me more comfortable for longer periods of time in front of the fan—and as an added bonus, it’s the quietest setting of the bunch. Now, the box-art makes some bold claims about being able to feel the WOOZOO a full 82 feet away. I don’t know about that as I don’t have an 82’ tape measure lying around. But I can tell you that even at 25 feet across my office, I could still feel the fan running at the lowest setting, so it can definitely keep pace in those “heavier-weight” configurations suggested in the manual like drying laundry, two-room circulation, augmenting an air conditioner, etc. Honestly, the only thing that I wish WOOZOO hadn’t changed with this latest version was the illumination control. The second WOOZOO globe fan we bought had an extra function on the base and remote that allowed you to turn off the LEDs entirely. For many people, this may not be a big deal at all, especially if you use the fan primarily during the day. But my wife uses one of these fans at night from over on the bedroom dresser, and the LEDs are legitimately bright enough in a darkened room that they could be distracting. We originally put some black electric tape over the blue fan speed indicators (which are MUCH brighter than the green LEDs used for the rest of the displays) which did the trick perfectly—but the LED on/off switch was a really nice feature we weren’t expecting to find on the last WOOZOO we bought, so it is definitely missed here this time around. Still, that one niggle aside, this fan is absolutely top-drawer! I would love to see WOOZOO fancy things up a bit more in future offerings, like adding Alexa or Google Voice controls, or a programmable timer that lets you go worry-free for more than 4 hours at a time. And if they use this current globe fan as a starting point, I’d be ready to give them even more of my money--DEFINITELY RECOMMENDED!
