PELONIS PFS45A5BBB 18 inch 5-Blade Oscillating, Adjustable Standing Pedestal Remote, LED Display, 5 Speed Setting and 7-Hour Timer Fan, Black

I got this fan because it was a cheaper (at the time) than a high velocity fan with metal fan fins. Despite this fan having plastic fins, it actually throws a lot of air, even on the lest setting. I actually had to lower the fan speed, because amount of air being propelled at me was giving me a headache. I previously bought a smaller pedestal fan for about the samepeice, but determined that the smaller size wasn't worth the cost, as it was around the same as this Pelonis fan. Returning that fan, and getting this on, has totally been worth it so far. I, personally, do not think the fan is very loud. It does produce an audible fin/turbulence noise, and the highest setting will definitely mufflen TV or conservation, but it is definitely not anywhere near the loudest fan I have heard/had. I can use the lower settings while watching or talking, and the higher settings while sleeping. Assembly a little more involved than other fans: you have to attach the back grill, tighten a knob, attach the fan propeller, tighten another knob, then attach the front grill. It is pretty straightforward, to the point where you do not need the instructions, which aren't great. The fan also feels flimsy initially, particularly at rhe base, but once you turn it on, it becomes more stable. I can't comment on durability yet, since I haven't had enough time with it, but I will update this review if fails, or has any other substantial issue in a short period of time from the purchase. So far, good fan overall

Upgraded from a Lasko 16" so pretty much anything would be better. But in all actuality, this fan is the ultimate dream. The Lasko only had 1850 cfm... this bad boy has 3600, making the air reallly circulate! So many wonderful modes. My favorite is natual. A nice mimic to being outside. Seems like it's just more refreshing. Never thought I'd spend such an amount on a fan, but now I can see why people do. I highly recommend this fan. Don't waste your money on something that just doesn't quite cut it when this can really fill all them ticks!

This fan is a beast! It’s so powerful & so strong. The pendulum on my clock struggles to move if it’s directed that way. The little window sun charms have blown off if it’s directed that way! It’s so strong!! This is a really good fan. I really love it. It has a nice loud sound to it, I like it loud to help me sleep. It comes with a really nice remote. You can put a timer on and obviously change the wind speed. I highly recommend this fan. I love it so much. Best purchase I ever made for fans.

I previously had a Pelonis 16", 26-speed, DC motor fan that went bad after 4.5 years. This black 18" Pelonis with AC motor is my chosen replacement and it differs in a few ways. Even if you didn't own a Pelonis before, this review might help in terms of comparing 16" to 18" fans, generally. It's 18", so it blows a lot more wind. It's very noticeably louder at higher speeds, but not ridiculously noisy. I could sleep with this fan at top speed, but I'm used to fan noise and it doesn't bother me a bit. It's whisper quiet on the lowest speed. If you want a fan strictly for your bedroom and you hate fan noise, better skip this one and get a 16" fan with DC motor instead; you'll lose a lot of cooling power but they're much quieter. This fan remembers your previous settings when turned on, which is a great feature not all fans have. Also when changing speeds, it goes back to 1 from 5, so you don't have to reverse back downward which was a major pain on some fans I've had. The grill is all plastic, whereas the other one was metal. It's a much heavier grill, but not so heavy that it won't stay on the tilt angle you set it. I don't mind that it's plastic, since it's well-made, sturdy, and thick. The Natural Breeze mode, which changes speeds randomly, is different on this fan. The 16" Pelonis kept it limited to low speeds only; this was a bummer in hot weather, but was great for colder weather when I just wanted a soft, gentle natural breeze without making the air chillier. The 18" fan breeze mode uses significantly higher speeds (adjustable from 1 to 3 as the highest speed used in the cycle) which makes it better in hot weather, but will rule out usage in winter; it'll blow too much wind. It's a noisier natural breeze mode, but even so, I prefer this natural breeze mode to the one on the 16" fan. I don't use the other modes such as Sleep, Timer, or the Auto-ECO temp control mode, so I can't comment on those. This fan has a device on the back to start/stop the oscillation, which is common with 18" fans. With the 16" fan you could control that with the remote. Could be an annoyance for some people who turn oscillation off & on regularly, but not for me since I have mine oscillating all the time. Also this one oscillates much faster than the 16" fan, which is great. When a fan oscillates slowly, you're not gonna feel the wind directly on you as much as it should be, and that was a constant annoyance with the old fan. That problem is now fixed with this fan. My previous 16" fan had a DC motor. I once believed it saved me significant energy, but now I'm not so sure. Over 4 years of running that fan 12 hours a day, my power bill didn't go down like I expected. So I'm okay with this 18" fan being AC. I think it *has* to be, to get the serious wind power it has; DC motors are quieter but they use less energy and don't have the power to get to turbo speed. The only 18" fan with a DC motor I could find on Amazon was a Lasko, which has terrible reviews, and there's also a Costway 18" with AC motor that's very similar to this Pelonis but it has a small extra fan blade attachment, only 3 speeds, and is $30 more than this Pelonis. I've had a fan with 2 sets of fan blades; it's just a flashy gimmick, it doesn't increase wind power at all. After thoroughly comparing all 3 fans, I advise to go with this Pelonis. I got almost 5 years out of my last one, which is not great but at least acceptable for a computerized fan. I prefer this 18" fan to the 16". On very hot days, the old 16" Pelonis just wasn't strong enough to do the job. This 18" fan will definitely cool me down much better and might even eliminate my having to turn on the air conditioner. If you want big wind and multiple modes and speeds, go with this one despite the AC motor, because with a DC motor you *might* save a few bucks on your energy bill but they just don't have the power to really cool you down on a sweltering hot day.

Well as many of you probably are , I was also skeptical of this brand I've never bought this brand before, I am a faithful Honeywell customer but I couldn't find a Honeywell pedestal fan so I purchased a Holmes brand pedestal and had my fingers crossed hoping it would work for me but after the first use I was very disappointed and returned it ,I continued to do some research and reading reviews I settled on this fan ,let me say wow I'm impressed it's so powerful and has 5 settings of speed that setting 3 was enough for us to sleep comfortably, and yes it has fan noise but that's what I like ( I need noise to sleep) and w/ remote "come on" I can be lazy all day long , I've only had it for 1 night but like wow, hopefully it holds up , will update after more extended use.... thus far I'm happy with this purchase. Update : 10/13 We still are very pleased with this purchase, I've had zero issues with it and it is still working great and blowing strong. 1/21/26 update Change from a 4 star to a 5 My daughter came to stay for a few days while I was away and she is now buying herself one . Don't hesitate buy it!

Nice fan. Blows a little stronger than I thought it would which is good

All good. Wish it had some lower speeds though, but thats all i can find thats not positive, maybe in the neutral category. But Wow, this thing is meant for hot days.

I chose this fan because I was willing to spend a modest amount of additional money as compared to many base entry level oscillating pole mounted or short stand fans. I'm extremely pleased with this fan for the follow reasons: a) it pushes a HUGE amount of air for a fan of this diameter and seemingly small motor b) it's extremely quiet at all speeds especially the 1-3 speeds. c) it conveniently offers 5 separate speeds enabling fine tune air flow control d) it's pedestal is taller than several many base models d) it was very simple to put together and has no need for lubrication or continual tightening of metal or plastic screws, fasteners or tightening pieces e) it has a hand remote, timer and 3rd feature(?) f) many fans being marketed that have similar features or apparent air flow potential were MUCH more expensive. g) colors a personal preference, yet I like the jet black h) quality, fit, durability all seem excellent I've had the fan for 8 months including nearly a full summertime. I'll definitely repurchase if I have needs for additional rooms. As always, it's cool to be COOL!

Es grande, me refiero a su circunferencia, su potencia es bastante por lo que en el mínimo funciona Perfecto! A máxima potencia si hace bastante ruido pero para la recámara con la mínima y programas apagado es suficiente, además con su control remoto puedes programar la velocidad, “modo” noche y otras funciones. SÚPER RECOMENDABLE!

Esta super bien las velocidades, solo que si hace un poco de ruido

Muy buena compra....el diseño y la potencia me gustó mucho. Leí algunos comentarios del ruido pero no es algo que moleste en potencia máxima

Práctico y útil, aunque muy ruidoso, el control ofrece mucha comodidad a la hora de cambiar la intensidad, pero me gustaría que también controlará el giro.

Es un excelente ventilador con un nivel de ruido acorde a su potencia. Su base lo mantiene estable aún el la velocidad más alta. Muy fácil de armar. Voy por el segundo
