Amazon Basics 3 Speed Oscillating Portable Tower Fan with Timer , 45 Watts, White

The fan itself is really good for what it's worth. Once you recieve it, it'll just be in a cardboard box, so don't expect a box with the picture on it. The base comes detached, so you'll have to unscrew the plastic-like bolt at the bottom and align the base together so you can re-screw the bolt back on. The right dial with the, LOW, MEDIUM, HIGH, options are on both sides for ease of access I believe, and all options are great. From relatively powerful wind power to a sweat relief blast of air, it's really amazing. The OSC functions greatly too, it does a 90 degree turn from the looks of it which may be a problem for others, but it's fine with me. Now regarding what everyone's talking about, the clicking sound. From what I can see, you can not turn the fan on if you don't have the left dial pointing at 'ON'. However, considering the left dial is the timer, you WILL turn the timer on by doing so. Without setting the left dial to ON, the fan will not turn on. (If you want to turn your fan off, just turn the dial to the OFF option on either dial, but if you just turn it off from the right dial, you'll be met with just the clicking sound). However, I don't know if this is for everyone, but the clicking sound is REALLY quiet if you have the fan even on LOW. Of course, if you turn the right dial to off, you'll only hear the clicking sound, but if you just have the fan on on any setting, you most probably won't even hear it (of course if you put your ear right up to the top of the fan you'll hear the clicking). But this does have a happy ending. If you turn the left dial and set it to the top, 'ON' option, and give your fan maybe 5 hours(?) running, the clicking will stop (It stopped for me at least). Overall, if you want a fan for sleeping, taking care of your sweat or just want to replace yout current one, this one is a steal for what it's worth.

Solid and sturdy. Just have to join 2 pieces around the base of the tower that slot together as its stand. Dials, no digital programming needed. Dial timer, so can set it before bed and will auto turn off whilst you're asleep. The timer is not digital, but makes no clicking noise as it winds down. Noise dependant on if you set from level 1 up to level 3. Having it run whilst you sleep you'll likely want it on level one or it might be too distracting. Cool air levels: 1 - gentle but consistent breeze, very comfortable. Can help cool a small room reliably. 2 - probably more suited to small office, as itll get a bit noisier, but a great cooling effect and strong breeze. Reasonably loud, considering its size, but also considering its size it is pretty powerful. Like a fairly strong wind, but not over the top. Oscillation works fine, turns about 90 degrees rather than 180. That said, for the price, a very good high quality item, especially compared to all the Chinese trash that gets spammed on Amazon these days. If you see super cheap fan systems, make sure to check the item seller's name and store address. Theyll likely be from China and your item will be worthless rubbish that wont work. If you want cheap, go for this kind of thing instead. Stands about as high as a generic kitchen table or thereabouts.

I was considering getting a tower fan for about 60-70 quid but then I saw this one for around £30. Was a little nervous if it would do the job but it's great. This clicking noise other reviews mention you can't hear when the fan is going, never had an issue with it and the fan is very quiet. I sleep fine with it on and it's powerful. For half the price of the other tower fans I'm very happy with it so far. The only small criticism I would have is there is no remote like the more expensive ones but I don't feel its worth paying double the price for a remote, the sleep timer could also be longer its about 3 hours but I get round this by having a timer on the plug socket so it stays on longer but does eventually turn off when I want it too. Update: After a few months I did notice the fan sometimes makes a squeaking sound as it oscillates, this can usually be fixed by messing about with it (tightening or loosening the bottom bit) but is a little annoying, still overall feel worth the purchase.

Brilliant for the price! Really good, strong airflow, cools down a room easily. Also pretty quiet when blowing air. Started off a bit squeaky when spinning but after having it on for an hour or so it definitely has become far less squeaky. The option to use the timer is also a nice touch (but you can also just have it running without the timer). Definitely worth the money, would recommend this product!

Decided to give this Amazonbasics fan a shot and I'm glad I did! The value is amazing. Half the price of most competitors but just as good quality. Very strong build. Good strong airflow that will keep you cool. Very easy to assemble, no tools needed. Only minor setback is no remote. This fan sticks to the high quality of amazonbasics. I may buy another. Very impressed.

5 years later. Still going. Used in the winter to help air dry clothes. Used in the summer to cool down. A+

Really surprised actually. I'm 32 weeks pregnant and was on the hunt for a fan that would be powerful enough to keep me cool through the impending heat wave. I've bought various fans from popular high street retailers which were OK but the air always felt warm. This amazon fan is quite powerful, comes with three settings and a timer and the air that comes out is lovely and cool. I don't think it's overly noisy but then I've slept with fans on my entire life so I appreciate the sound of it. I've just bought another one for my kids room as we've all been fighting over it. Would definitely recommend if you're looking for something a bit more powerful than the average fan.

I work night shifts so just needed a fan that would help me sleep in the day when it's really hot! Didn't want to spend too much since England doesn't have too many hot days but this fan is really decent for the price. Minimal noise (although actually a small amount of white noise does help me sleep) but fairly powerful, definitely does the job and has high/medium/low settings. It also has a timer you can set! Not particularly attractive but it's tall so you get a good span of air, also has an oscillating setting to cover the whole room if you want, and if you stick it in a corner you barely notice it! Great purchase.
