Dr. Prepare 16-inch DC Tower Fan

Great fan for night as very little noise

Works on 110v, need converter to make it work on 220v (using converter is not safe). Product details not clear, bought and returned.

UPDATE: I've had this fan almost a year now. It has been running constantly last summer into fall (on high) and 3 months so far this year (mid to high setting). I have had no issues with unusual noises, odors, or failures. I've been using the oscillation continuously as well for the last 6 weeks (all day, all night, every day as I did last summer/fall without oscillation) For $40 I consider this a good purchase and would buy another if/when needed. The only improvement suggestion I would make to the manufacturer is to increase the range of the remote. You have to be fairly close; approx. 3-foot range directly in front of the sensor on the front of the unit. I haven't needed to change the battery in the remote, however as it runs continually, I'm not using it to turn on/off daily, but this year have occasionally changed the speed between medium and high using the remote. Original rating of 5 stars; no change. ORIGINAL REVIEW: I've only had this fan for a couple weeks, but it has been running on high setting 24/7 the entire time without the oscillation. So far (🤞), no noises or issues with functionality. It does provide a little background sound (like a fan will do) but it's not out of the ordinary/excessively loud. It's used in a respectably-sized bedroom, not overly large, but roomy, with a second fan on the other side of the room to create circular air flow while the AC is out. It's July and hot in the south and although fans don't cool the air like AC, I'm not sweltering with this set up. One is set higher than the other as this one isn't very tall, but also doesn't need a large surface space either. This would be a nice fan for a small office space or smaller bedroom alone with AC. You do need to point the remote directly at the LED readout (not from the side) for it to respond, but that isn't odd. The remote came with a battery installed; I can't speak to the longevity of the battery provided yet. The LED readout is a little bright (white not blue) but isn't a problem for me as it isn't right next to my face. If used on a bedside table it might be bothersome to some if facing the bed. It lights up, but it doesn't "project" a lot of light. Speed tests from approx 6' away: Setting 1 is hardly audible, but useless unless you are right next to it; air flow is miniscule at 6'. Setting 2 isn't much different from 1, but might be fine sitting at a desk with this by your feet or on the desk for slight air movement. Still extremely quiet. Setting 3 still quite quiet with a light breeze close up Setting 4 start to hear the fan, light breeze close up Setting 5 starts to sound like a fan is actually running and begins to put out air flow many other small fans might on low. Setting 6 slightly higher than 5 in sound and air flow. Setting 7 a bit louder than 6, as some small fans might sound on medium or high with air flow felt 6' away. Setting 8, sound gets louder, but quieter than some fans on medium with a definite breeze 6' away. It won't blow you over, but this isn't a shop fan either. With AC, this should provide air flow in a small room without another fan, or cooling effect up close by the bed or on a desk. With 8 levels, oscillation, REMOTE, & small footprint, if this unit lasts a while it will be worth the $40 price tag. However, if you need a lot of air flow across the room, a large fan (Vornado) or multiple small fans (I also have a stationary 8 or 10" by this maker for $20) would be recommended. A small fan isn't going to do the work of a large fan, but this one does a pretty good job for it's size. The few small fans with remotes are more expensive. The big test is how long will it last. With my continual use, if it lasts thru the end of the summer on high I'll consider it a good buy for the price. I've had other less expensive small fans that worked great but did not oscillate or tilt (stationary) and certainty didn't come with a remote... or a strange name! Lol If it quits working in a short amount of time, I'll update my review.

Un ventilador muy superior a mis expectativas ya que es muy silencioso en cualquiera de sus 8 velocidades y emana bastante aire desde la velocidad 1 y que decir de la distancia a la cual se percibe el aire fresco. En la 1 llega hasta los 2 mts de distancia eso en la 1 velocidad a la 4 alacansa los 4 mts y de la 5 a las 8 hasta los 10 mts de distancia. Claro paulatinamente va subiendo la distancia acorde ala velocidad elegida. Se puede apagar el dispuesto desde el control remoto para que en la noche no moleste la luz. Y crean que el ruido es casi imperceptible en la noche y eso que no hay ruido que lo disfrace. En realidad un oeqieño fan que cumple y supera lo descrito en la publicación. Fabricado con excelentes materiales de plástico y pequeño que cabe muy bien en la mesita de noche. O cualquier escritorio para el trabajo. Yo lo uso en mi buró de dormir y me a encantado me mantiene fresco toda la noche y reitero sin ruido y con bastante aire fresco. Lo recomiendo ampliamente.

EXCELENTE, realmente lo recomiendo porque es súper silencioso, lo que buscaba, tamaño perfecto estoy encantada
