Schallen 16" Electric Oscillating Floor Standing Tall Pedestal Air Cooling Fan (White)

Sitting in our conservatory on a very hot day this week with the temperature outside at 32, our fan finally failed. So looked on Amazon to see what we could get and quickly and reasonably priced. Found this one with reasonable reviews and a good price. It arrived ahead of time and was very well boxed up. Everything was in the box and it came with a good set of instructions, but as we have put many similar fans together over many years assembly was not an issue. All went together easily and whilst a few parts looked cheap such as the feet and base fixing cover they are more than good enough. Once assembled and installed switched it on and the first reaction was how quiet it was and’s on its lowest setting how much air was being pushed through by the blades with the top setting being incredibly and really not necessary to use to get the perfect flow of air. One observation is that the motor housing vibrates in use which is not an issue but it just does, and has no effect on the fan operation. It has been run now for 10 hours on each of the 3 speed settings in order to see if there are any out of box problems but all is still good and it’s running perfectly. As mentioned, very quiet and moves a lot of air through all the 3 settings, and this has not been our experience with other such fan purchases. All in all we are very happy with this purchase and only time will tell just how robust this fan really is.

Comes in Kit form, but pretty easy to assemble. The fan works really well and has three variable speed options. The base is a little flimsy, but so long as you are careful when positioning it, you'll be fine.

Assemble: I had a nightmare putting this together not because it is hard but because of the instructions not being clear enough. I had to watch a YouTube video to resolve this. I did not realise the silver height adjustable tube has to be put through the bottom first and brought back up instead I was putting it from the top up and the white plastic bit did not fit the body just in case anyone has the same problem as it was not explained well in the instructions. Sturdiness: It is not an amazing quality as it rips quite easily however for the price it is amazing and actually looks more expensive when put together. Value for money: I would absolutely recommend this. My partner bought a fan in Argos for £50.00 and this is very much like it if not better. It is great value for money. It provides nice cool air needed for the summer hot days and is not louder than any other fan that you would have. I’d say don’t bother spending any more money on other fans and get this because this does an amazing job for an amazing price.

Having recently purchased this fan, I can say I have could not be happier. It is by no means perfect, but for the price I found it to be wonderful. As I live in an area with a lot of nighttime noise and traffic, sleeping with the window open is impossible; however, with this fan I have found no need for that this year. I have personally slept every night with the fan on its lowest setting, which provides plenty of cool air due to the large size of the fan. It is very quiet (at least comparative to previous fans) and I currently have it positioned next to the bed yet sleep soundly all night. It has made the summer heat bearable and I am very glad I bought it. Only criticisms I can offer is that the foot supports are a little weak due to being made of a cheap plastic, but if you intend to position it on a flat surface this shouldn't offer any issue. The fan has three settings all of which are relatively quiet. Overall, it's an ideal fan if you're looking for something cheap and simple - it quickly and easily cools the air even on the lowest setting and is ideal for anyone looking for a fan to run at night over the summer.

Bought this fan a few months ago but only just got round to unpacking and assembling it. Really poor quality - flimsy cheap plastic, the bits don’t fit together properly, the whole thing vibrates and it’s really noisy. I wouldn’t even use it if it was given to me for free. It has been too long to return it now so it will be going in the bin.

Fiddly to assemble (beware some sharp edges); instructions are only partial & are poor. It works well enough, but motor CLICKS quite NOISILY whether or not the fan is oscillating. Slow speed is too fast & not much different from the other 2 speeds! Overall, not too impressed, but cheap & does shift the air

Just bought my third of these fans, two last year, one this year. Now we have one in each room. Honestly it’s super quiet, unlike it’s mentioned in the other reviews we think they’re pretty sturdy, basic but does the job brilliantly! You can adjust both the height and the tilt so you can aim the flow as needed 🙂

For the price I can't complain, it's sturdy enough, looks good, easy to put together. It works well and does what it should. Feels a bit cheap when putting together but it is a cheap fan.

Didn’t know it was a US plug so I couldn’t use it
