Amazon Basics 16" Pedestal Fan with Remote for Bedroom, Living Room, Office, Adjustable Height, Dual-Layered Blades, 3 Speeds, 3 Modes, Timer, Tilt Head, 60W, Black

I purchased this Amazon Basics 16" Pedestal Fan for my home, and I'm actually using it right now as I write this review! Living in Texas, the summer heat can be intense, and this fan has been a lifesaver. It keeps my room cool and comfortable, making those hot nights so much more bearable. I can finally enjoy a pleasant night's sleep without constantly waking up feeling overheated. The airflow is strong yet quiet, so it doesn't disturb my sleep, and I love being able to adjust the settings with the remote without getting out of bed. The adjustable height and oscillation help cool the entire room, and it was very easy to assemble. This fan has definitely saved me from the Texas heat, and I couldn't be happier with my purchase. I highly recommend it to anyone looking for a reliable, quiet, and effective fan for a comfortable night's sleep.

I'm actually impressed with my new Amazon Basics 16" Pedestal Fan with Remote. This is a well-made fan for the price. The base is quite heavy so it doesn't vibrate and shake like my old standing fan. It's much larger and taller than my old fan, too, so measure your spot so it fits. The cord (two-pronged) is plenty long enough at a bit over 5', I'm guesstimating. There is an oscillating option with a telescoping up and down fan height pole, and the head tilts up and down a small bit as well. The pole is the one thing I find ugly as everything else is black but the pole is shiny silver -- nothing earthshaking though and I like mine set very low so the pole doesn't show anyhow. The interesting feature is the "Mode" option which varies the fan speed to mimic the rhythm of natural breezes, according to the manual. There is a sleep option as well which I haven't yet tried but should come in handy. The one con is that it comes in many pieces and in a heavy box that is inside an even heavier, larger box. For me, a 5' 0" grandma with a hip replacement, it wasn't easy to get it into the house and out of the boxes, but I managed. I'll post pics of the many pieces you must put together. It's not as bad as that might sound. It probably took me a little over 40 minutes BUT I was taking many photos and a video in that time as well. The included booklet has very good instructions. It is a little clumsy at times when building it solo -- the head and guards wanted to roll around -- so I just propped them up with pillows and voila! The remote works great, but be aware that the two AAA batteries for the remote are NOT included. Also, you need a small Phillips head screw driver for one step but that also is not included. This fan makes a very pleasant sound, nothing harsh, but boy it can really move the air! Hi-speed nearly knocks me over. :) TIPS: Remember to remove the shipping piece off the back of the blade before assembling-- kinda looks like a black plastic clothespin! (See pic) Also, when you are assembling the 2 fan blade guards (round wire covers), make sure you have the "nubs" lined up in the fan guards' grill in back and front. (See pics) There are two plastic fan blades, a larger and a smaller one. When assembling the smaller blade onto the larger blade, you'll be screwing a large plastic "nut" onto a metal spindle (looks like an upside down end of a large bolt). This secures the second, smaller blade. That nut must be turned CLOCKWISE or it won't go on at all. (Another pic) Hold onto the larger fan blade to make things easier. I posted many pics and a video for the fan sound and remote. Really, it's not as intense as it might sound.

You know how, when you angle a fan to blow at you, after a little while, that constant flow of air gets a little uncomfortable? Well, I don't know how I missed this specific feature of this fan, but it has a "nature" mode where the fan cycles periodically through the different fan speeds to vary the flow. This has been a revelation to me! It is really a wonderful feature and feels almost like a "natural" breeze, rather than just a constant flow. I've never heard of such a setting on a fan, and this is really fantastic. There are an additional 2 modes: one, where it's just like a normal, constantly-blowing fan; and another, called "sleep" where it cycles through the low and medium speeds. These mode functions are really cool! I didn't know fans could do that! The build quality is really solid. It's actually a much heavier fan than I was expecting. Not so heavy that it can't be easily moved, but it feels really solid and stable. The base is smaller than other fans I've seen, but it is heavy enough that it still is really stable without wobbling around. It wasn't difficult to put together at all, though I did have to set the grill a couple of times in order to line up the label properly. It's not a criticism, and if you don't care about that sort of thing, you can just slap the grill (cage?) on any old way. I'm not sure what the function of the little blades that go on top of the larger blades. Don't really know what it does... But I'm surprised at how quiet it is. Much quieter than even my window fan and little desktop fan. I'd say the size is kind of medium-large, but it really moves air like a larger fan! The oscillation is wide, too, and the head can be angled quite high and low. This isn't a wholly "budget" kind of fan, but it's not too expensive either. I'm really pleased with it - as a kind of step up from my old cheapie fans. Highly recommended!

Amazing fan! Super easy to assemble, though you do need a screwdriver to be able to put the front guard on properly (I didn't have one, so I just kinda shoved it on there, it's worked for now lol). Very powerful winds from it! The panel lights up when you make changes but dims to black after a few seconds, so no annoying bright lights in your dark room all night.

I was surprised at how good it was for the price. Good air flow and quiet. I would have liked to have about 2 more adjustments to the angle and found the location of the ir sensor to be poor. I found that sometimes the remote control didn't function and determined that the reason was that the ir sensor is directly behind the screw of the fan cage when the fan is set to flat angle. Yes, I can still control by taking that into account and aiming the remote to avoid it. The ir sensor placed half inch lower would have worked better. I considered changing the cage to put screw at different location but that would annoy me every time I looked at the upside down Amazon written across the front. The modes are clever and are nice if you want to vary fan speed without the distraction of oscillation. I do like the ability to start oscillation and then stop when it reaches the desired angle.

This fan works fine. It was simple to put together, despite what the instructions said! It moves the air around nicely. It a little bit quieter than most stand fans. Not sure if the double blades help, but it’s the air flow is generous. The remote is a bonus! It takes up space with its large fan and wide supportive base. If you are limited by space, purchase a fan that’s more compact.

For its price point this fan exceeded my expectations. Unlike other pedestal fans I had purchased in the past, this one has a sturdy, square, not round base that is weighted for stability. The pole, it made of quality metal, not plastic like other brands with height easily adjusted by a simple easy to turn screw. But not so heavy that it cannot be easily moved and it even comes with a remote so you can easily change the fan speed, it has three from across the room. Unlike other pedestal fans this one actually has two fan blades for greater cooling and the fan even at high speed is whisper quiet and can be set to either stay in one position or oscillate. No tools are required to assemble the fan, but I do think the instructions on assembly included with the fan could have been more detailed. Note: When installing the second smaller fan blade make sure you screw it on, COUNTER clockwise which is not clearly explained in the instructions. I fought for 5 minutes trying to screw it on clockwise with a small illustration with no explanation showing it in the instructions. Conclusion, I highly recommend this pedestal fan for anyone looking to purchase a quality fan at a reasonable price.

This appears to be a quality product. Easy, quick assembly. Just a Phillips screwdriver needed. Materials are mostly metal which is encouraging. The one I'm replacing was mostly plastic. This one is heavier but not excessively. Makes me think it will be more durable. Time will tell. The remote is something I've never had in pedestal fan and I think I'm really going to like it.! The most impressive attribute are it's volume of air movement and extremely low level of noise. I'm fascinated by the fan blade design itself. There are 2 separate props stacked together, one larger diameter than the other. (see photo) I wonder if that is the secret to high volume with low noise?

Me sorprendió mucho, refresca super bien, lo recomiendo en lugares pequeños ya que concentre muy bien al aire y lo tira en línea recta, el nivel 1 es silencioso, el 2 y 3 hace ruido pero no exagerado como otros y el control ayuda por la comodidad Totalmente recomendado

Vivo en un lugar donde hace bastente calor en tiempo de verano (no como en ciudades donde sí se requiere un aire acondicionado) y he tenido ventiladores de diferentes marcas, pero este ventilador es una de las mejores opciones. En precio está casi igual y talvez hasta mas caro que otros de "renombre" pero en calidad no les pide nada; Los materiales son resistentes, las velocidades se sienten muy bien, tiene control remoto, en cuanto al ruido pues hace ruido, como todos, pero nada exagerado en velocidad alta, es muy aceptable. Es fácil de instalar y limpiar. También si te interesa algo como la "imagen" es bastante elegante y sutil en color negro ya que lo uso también para un estudio fotográfico y es genial.

Producto de .uy buena calidad! Recomiendo mucho

Muy fácil de armar. Es un ventilador sencillo con oscilación y tres velocidades. Definitivamente cumple su cometido. Hasta ahora no he tenido el más mínimo inconveniente usándolo prácticamente todos los días. No hace mucho ruido en la primera velocidad, pero con las otras dos sí es más ruidoso, aunque yo casi no uso esas velocidades, y cuando lo hago no me molesta gran cosa.

Es Muy funcional hacé nada de ruido y enfría rápidamente una habitación es genial me gusta muchísimo y es de aguante lo prendo diaby noche y super bien todo
