Amazon Basics Oscillating Standing Pedestal Fan, 5-Blade, 12-Speed, DC Motor, Remote Control, Height Adjustable, 40cm, White

This is the best fan, easy to assemble even for a 60+ woman with barely any diy skills, just followed the instructions. It's the hottest day of May today (So far) and I have a South facing living room. Fan works beautifully, love the different settings and I'm cool for the first time today. Base is sturdy but not too heavy to lift on carpet and wooden floor. Oscillating feature works well with no squeaks, fan is not noisy either. The sleep mode is great too.

This fan is excellent, although it is labeled 'Amazon Basics' it is way ahead of its rivals. The build quality is very high as are the functions. Assembly was straight forward & everything fitted well. With current demand I had to wait from 18th July until 14th August for delivery but it was well worth the wait. If you can get one go for it you won't be disappointed.

This pedestal fan is very well-built, and feels quite solid. My only issues are that, being a remote-controlled device, you'd at least expect it to remember the previous state (speed setting, etc). It fails to do so even if left in stand-by. Also, the speed between the 4th and 5th setting is wildly different, and you'd expect a slightly gentler curve as you go up the speed levels. The buttons on the unit itself are just symbols which can take a bit of getting used to as to what each one does. Another issue I had was fitting the front grille cover, as it is quite fiddly to align, and doesn't use the usual slide-on friction-fit type clips you get with more common desk fans. I didn't quite get the front nameplate lined up as straight as I'd like, and there was no way I was going to disassemble it again, only to faff around with it for another half an hour! Other than that, it's a good fan, and the remote is very useful. It certainly got us through the June heatwave of 2026!

Good variety of osciallation speeds, many of which are quiet enough to have on during the night without disturbance. The remote control is a really useful feature, being able to turn it on and off, set the rotation and speed without having to get out of bed. Height adjustable, doesn't take up too much space and doesn't seem to consume a high amount of power. No issues with reliablity and it has been used most days

Excellent fan. Terrific value and a godsend during recent heatwave. Use in bedroom on low setting and it's so quiet! It can also blast out on the high settings if needed. Very pleased with this.

This fan is probably the best fan I have ever bought, it seemed expensive at the time but I still have it cooling my bedroom in this hot weather quietly and efficiently. You are spoilt for choice on how many speed settings and there are 12 in all. It is whisper-quiet when it's on sleep or low speed 1, I don't understand how anybody can find this fan noisy. It has different settings as the fan slowly increases then decreases speeds, but when in sleep mode you can't hear it. The display lights go out after a minute so there are no blinking lights on at night to interrupt your sleep. It is the quietest fan I have ever had when on sleep mode you can barely hear any noise at all, in fact, I got up the other morning and totally forgot to switch it off as I couldn't hear anything to remind me to switch it off, such as my old fan which made noise. It was pretty easy to install if you have a bit of common sense. In all I am very happy with this choice, it is super quiet, super powerful if needed, all at a fairly reasonable price considering the quality. Very happy with this purchaser and would definitely recommend it, if I had to nitpick it is a little on the large size and kind of dominates wherever you should decide to put it. I am considering buying another while it's still available and I would recommend even with the initial highish price. As they say you get what you pay for and this is a quality piece of kit and well recommended.

We have gone through 2 fans (which were more expensive) before finding this one. And it's AMAZING. It's very quiet. Would buy again 100% 😊

Bought this as I was fed up of cheap Pedestal fans that make a racket and don't last before bits start falling off and the oscillating mechanism starts rattling. This looked like it was well built (which it is) and I liked the round weighted base design, no more thin metal legs to trip over. The fan is well packed and easy to assemble. Everything feels high quality, including the grille which is a thick steel mesh, and the blades which are a much thicker plastic than the norm. I also think the extra front blade is a good idea and it does increase the airflow. It could do without the obvious Amazon branding, but that's easily covered with a bit of vinyl. It has a couple of downsides. There are 12 speeds, but the gap between the lowest speeds and the high speeds is quite significant. The speeds would be better if they were more even steps. The fan also doesn't remember the speed you had set when you turn it off and back on again, even if you leave the power connected. You have to re-enter your settings every time which would be fine if every press of a button or turn of the speed knob didn't trigger a loud 'beep' that becomes incredibly annoying. I'll end up removing the circuit board and removing the piezo beeper inside, so I can operate the fan in blissful silence. Why every modern electronic device has to indicate each function with an irritating beep is beyond me. The remote is better than average, though it doesn't have a high standard to meet, and duplicates the functions on the main control panel. The buttons on the remote itself and the fan are all real buttons, not a touchscreen thank goodness. I haven't used the selectable modes, nor the timer, but both work as advertised. All in all I'm pleased. It could be cheaper, but you do get a well built fan for your money albeit with the inconveniences detailed above. If the manufacturer added some memory to store the chosen settings when the power is switched off, made the selection of speeds more evenly spread, made the branding more subtle and provided an option to disable that irritating beep, they'd have one of the best fans on the market.

Nice fan. Can’t turn it on as this fan is for use in Europe. No where does it mention this. The reviews did but I failed to read them. You can by an adapter so maybe in a week I can see if it works Way to go Amazon. You should have made this plane somewhere Poor job

Excelente aparato, bonito, fácil de montar y eficaz pero la sorpresa del enchufe británico en Mexico!!!!

La verdad creo que amazon basics tiene muy buena calidad con sus artículos y con precios muy competitivos y adsequibles.

You're kidding me, right? This is a 240V fan. I either need to have my house re-wired or unplug my oven to use this? This is a big mistake, right?

Buena construcción toma de corriente inglesa
