Great fan for small space
This fan was very easy to assemble. Just need a screw driver for one screw on the base. Once I turned it on, it was running perfectly. The three power setting is simple and easy to use. There's a oscillating setting as well. I love the size for small space and it makes it perfect to store away in the cooler months.

my review of Pelonis 12" Model FT30-8MBBV fan
hah hah said Nelson from Simpson; they sent two front guards, no rear guard; don't have the transportation to send it back so what I did was drill a concentric hole (the diameter of the screw thread housing) centered to one of the snap-in Pelonis name plate, then snap that back in to the guard and obviously place that as the rear guard; worked; then just put the fan together as normal, however had to twist-tie-wrap the halves together; I do that anyway since it makes it simpler to remove the guards and blade for cleaning; I also left the front Pelonis plate cover off the guard using as the front piece, because all those plates do other than safety is catch dust; the fan is whisper quiet by the way, doesn't vibrate, though I did take the front housing off to add a drop of oil to the shaft; historically have learned to do that, it extends the life of the motor; this was my experience with the order of this fan; have included a cellphone taken phone here, hope it takes

    everything you need in a desk fan
    While I'm not crazy about the fact one has to fully assemble this desk fan, I can't knock it too hard because the setup was pretty easy. This is a pretty standard desktop fan - there are no special features to it, and it has the standard variable speed and off buttons at the bottom. It's sturdy and built to last - no wobbly joints or shoddy construction. Very minimalist design, so it blends in easily with any decor without clashing. Would be great for a bedroom or office. Blows really well, and it's been helping the air circulate in my living room when the overhead fan is turned off.

    Cool table top fan
    I received this item as a sample for review. The fan came in several pieces out of the box. But they are easily assembled in 5 minutes without any tools. Fan control is very basic with a switch for on/speed, and the other for oscillating. It's quiet and has a fairly small footprint to put on the desk top. It does what it suppose to - to cool on a hot day. Would recommend this.

    Quiet functioning fan
    As always the item came packaged secure and undamaged. The black has a high glossy appearance. The oscillation covers a wide area, IT has been 80-84 degrees this week in N.C. and I have run the fan on the 1st. setting and it has kept me cool in my 15×18 living room. I am not one who likes to run the central air all the time. This fan also is extremely quiet on the 1st setting, each setting gets a little louder but still quiet compared to other fans I have owned. This fan will be excellent for an office or bedroom because of how quiet it is. Again has 3 settings oscillating, turns and fan head goes up and down. Thanks spark review program.

    Great table top fan
    I had never tried one this size and I really like it as a personal size fan. It is the right size for bedside or next to you on a small end table. I have included a picture with a pen to show Size. It was easy to put together right out of the box. It has 3 speeds. The #1 is low and it is very low. So if you don't want anything but a very gentle speed it is perfect. Then of course it has med and high and they put out about the same as any other fan. This is a very quiet fan also even on high. You can't hear it on low. So if you need the sound to sleep this is not the one you want but if you want a quiet one this is the one you should get. I liked that this one has the adjustable up and down for air flow and it also has the button to pull up on the back to stop the rotation left and right. I would highly recommend this fan. Have had no problems so far.

    FANtastic!
    This fan is fantastic! It is 12” diameter with a nice long cord; a good size to blow a decent breeze around a room. It's lightweight plastic; the cage around the blades is metal. I brought it to work for my cubicle and it's perfect to keep the air flowing. It's super quiet while it's blowing as well as oscillating. The fan head oscillates side to side and easily clicks up and down as well. The speed buttons are on the front of the fan, clearly marked and easily pushed for setting the speed. The button on the back pulls up or pushes in to keep the fan head steady or allows it to oscillate. I definitely would recommend this fan for any room. It's quiet and breezy and it looks nice, too.

    This fan is exactly as described. It's easy to put together with just a glance at the instructions. No tools needed. It all slides or clicks in place. The oscillating button is easy to use with just a pull or push to start or stop the oscillating. 0 setting is off, then settings 1 is the lowest but projects plenty of air. 2nd is a little more forceful and then 3rd moves the most air. It's a good size for a small area or if you need it as a bedside fan for sleeping like me. It's pretty quiet even on the highest setting it's barely hum in the air which was surprising compared to the amount of air it moves.

    Good, simple, old-style fan
    This 12" fan is nothing fancy, it's pretty basic and old-style but it does the job! It has three speeds and a 180 degree oscillating head and it's perfect for our fitness room, it's just what we needed to cool ourselves down while exercising. There is a bit of assembly to do, out of the box but it's pretty straightforward and instructions are easy to follow. We are happy with this product, sometimes simple does it!

    Very Nice Fan
    This is a very quiet fan.I was a little put off by that because I love the big, loud ones but this one packs a punch.It moves the air in the room so well and keeps it nice and cool.You do have to put the fan together but there is no tools involved,I had it together in a minute or two.The blades are made of plastic but the cage is metal and the sleek jet black finish is tasteful and blends with any décor nicely.This could be used in a office because it is so quiet or in any good sized area because of the fans oscillating power.Overall I am very pleased with this product and recommend it to those who enjoy a strong but silent fan.
