Igenix DF1655 Pedestal Fan – 16” Oscillating Stand Fan with Quiet Operation, 3-Speed Settings, Adjustable Height, Energy Efficient 40W Cooling – Ideal for Home & Office – White

Works great on even the low settingEasy to make upOnly gripe is that the screw hole is not perfectly central so the decal looks wonky once made upI thought I had 2 parts missing at first but these are on the units themselves so the instructions could do with updatingAbsolutely thrilled for the money and like the fact it oscillates - bought 2 one for downstairs and one for upstairs as so cheaply priced and very happy with the performance

Lasted 5 years before it started getting a little loud so sadly I retired it, keep in mind I had this fan on 24/7 and slept with it on so it was bare able at night. This is a no frills fan which is a complete steal at the price. Currently looking for a better sleek look for my bedroom but I'd happily buy this again. Easy to assemble and does the job very well!

When a product has 16% 1-star reviews you start to worry ... but that seems par for the course at this end of the market, so I took a punt and ordered it. Maybe I was in luck but inside the box I found:- assembly instructions written in actual English (not a computer translation);- all the promised bits; and- everything worked.You will need a cross-head screwdriver. I found that a PH1 was perfect.Assembly is a step-by-step process. You also need to use your judgement. If you see a couple of pins sticking out of the metal spindle that emerges from the motor unit, those pins fit into slots at the back of the fan blade unit when you push that on. There are also a couple of plastic thingys that engage into slots on the rear safety grille when you put that in place. It's all there, but you need to be patient. Mine came with the inner (extension) pole inserted into the main pole, so that saved five seconds. When you're fitting the rear grille, the knurled plastic ring that secures it tightens onto the metal motor spindle in the usual way (clockwise). The *other* ring, which secures the fan blade assembly, tightens *anti-clockwise*. Bear that in mind. I nearly broke it. The most fiddly bit was fitting the front part of the grille. It has a lot of clips around the circumference, and you need to loosen them (you may need pliers) to get it lined-up correctly with the rear part. You also need to ensure that the tiny screw 'ole at the bottom of the front part lines-up with the 'ole on the back part. I resorted to bad language and leaning the whole thing against a sofa at 45 degrees to see what I was doing, but I got there. Oh yes - and before I started all this I connected the motor and ran it to be sure it seemed OK.How does it perform? You get a fair blast of wind, and quietly, on the lowest setting. The mid setting is more powerful, but still pretty quiet. On maximum it's a bit noisier, and you start to get that angry buzzing you can hear with propeller aircraft ... a bit like cardboard hitting the spokes on a bike wheel. For my needs (getting the air to move on a hot day) the first two settings are ample. I am sure it won't be a problem to sleep with the fan running.Build quality? About as good as you can expect. The motor housing and switch panel feel 'plasticky', and the switches are too squishy for total confidence. You can disengage the gears that cause the head to swivel (switch off, then lift the knob at the rear of the motor housing) and I would always do that to reduce the load on the 50W motor. You can also adjust the angle (up/down) of the fan, but only by about 10 degrees. I'd have liked 45 degrees or more up-angle to get the air bouncing off the ceiling.The cable is around 130cm total. That's short. With the fan at maximum height, the cable hits the floor and then runs just 50cm sideways. If your sockets are at skirting board level, you won't have much room to position the fan.Overall this fan feels stable, thanks to its long legs, and about right for the cash. It gets a comfortable 4 stars. I had the feeling that for another quid or two they could have beefed-up the switchgear and lengthened the cable.I have posted the assembly instructions in case they help anyone.

It is a pretty cheap item but will do the job. The stand part isn't very well designed with the base being made out of very light weight metal. There are plastic feet like things at the end of each of the cross made by tge two pieces of metal that form the base. These plastic things just clip in and I would think are in danger of falling out if you move the fan about. The extending chrome post is very small and only allows the fan to increase in height by 18 cm. This puts the top of the fan at 1.27 metres above floor level. It is when the fan is not attached possible to push the chrome post inside the other part of the base and then you need to dismantle it a bit to retrieve it. The screen is held together with sliding clips that probably wouldn't take much abuse but do the job. A tiny bit and bolt on the rim of the screen act as a final aid to keeping the two pieces together. This is a really fiddle little thing and a self tapping screw would have been much better and easier. The actual fan runs quite smoothly and quietly and produces good air flow. It will tilt but only to point upward, it won't point downward and normally it is blowing air parallel to the floor. The switches make a nice positive click and are push to select. It will oscillate from left to right through about 90 degrees, a sweep takes about 5 seconds.I don't need the fan to be any higher than what it is, once the screen is assembled it probably will stay that way but if the nut and bolt annoys you a small self tapping screw will probably work, if the plastic feet falling out is a problem press the fairly thin metal in between finger and thumb to help the clips on the plastic get a secure grip. The screw on the bottom of the fan assemble will keep the fan securely on the chrome pipe. Maybe the commentator that said it didn't had the chrome pipe in upside down, as there is a grove in it at one end for the screw to grip. Conclusion : For the price it is not a bad little fan, the base is a little flimsy but sufficient.

This will be a detailed review - I bought this because we are expected 29 Degrees next week and I live in a static so it gets very warmAt first - Its reasonable priced - £20 - Cant go wrong right ??? Wrong !!Easy to put together yes but There is either a piece missing or its a very poor design - the bit that the blade sits on just spins through the blades and does really spin the blades well , I tried putting this rubber sleeve over the bolt thing but it just melted , makes aloud noise , doesnt spin well and the fan is just rubbish - not worth the money - tried to call customer services but useless as always.Size is fine , nice big and tall enough to put at end of sofa , and the legs and pole seems very stable and sturdy but the fan itself is just rubbish - I honestly either missing a part to make the blade spin properly or very poor design - dont waste your money honestly not worth the hassle

Super fast delivery!Decent fan, quite sturdy, easy enough to put together. Works well! Not horrifically loud. Happy with it
