Russell Hobbs 16" Plastic Pedestal Fan in White

I bought this Russell Hobbs desk fan after my old fan finally gave up. After reading some of the reviews, I was a little sceptical, but I'm glad I took the chance because it's been a massive improvement over my old fan. The airflow is excellent and much stronger than I expected for a 12-inch desk fan. It moves plenty of air around the room and does a great job of keeping me cool on warmer days. What really surprised me was how quiet it is. Even on the higher settings, the noise is low enough that it doesn't become distracting while working or trying to sleep. The oscillation feature and adjustable screw works well, the controls are simple, and the fan feels lightweight while still being sturdy enough for everyday use. It really keeps the air flowing around my room at night. Overall, despite some of the mixed reviews, my experience has been very positive. Great airflow, low noise, and excellent value for money. I'd happily recommend it.

I purchased this fan because I already had an older fan in another room and needed a second one for the warmer weather. After using it for a while, I'm very pleased with the purchase. The fan arrives disassembled in the box, but don't let that put you off. Assembly is straightforward and only takes a few minutes. The instructions are easy enough to follow, and the only tool required is a screwdriver to secure a single screw that holds the front mesh cover in place. One thing worth noting is that the plastic nut that secures the fan blades to the motor axle uses a reverse thread, which may catch some people out during assembly. Once you realise that, everything goes together without any issues. In operation, the fan performs very well. It's noticeably quieter than my older fan, which was a pleasant surprise. Even at higher speed settings, the noise level is low enough that it doesn't become distracting when working, watching TV, or trying to sleep. It produces a steady airflow without excessive rattling or vibration. The airflow itself is more than adequate for a desk fan of this size. The three-speed settings provide a good range of options, from a gentle breeze to a stronger airflow. The oscillation function is also smooth and consistent, helping distribute the air evenly rather than concentrating it in one spot. Being lightweight and portable is another advantage. It's easy to move between rooms when needed, and the compact design means it doesn't take up too much space on a desk, table, or bedside cabinet. Overall, this is a solid, no-nonsense fan that does exactly what it's supposed to do. It's easy to assemble, reasonably quiet, provides plenty of airflow, and offers excellent value for the price. If you're looking for a reliable fan for everyday use during warmer months, this is a great option.

Does the job. It's fairly quite and has a good oscillation range, so is ideal at night as it provides good white noise to aid sleep. Setting 1 is a bit too weak for my liking but 2 are 3 seem powerful enough so far and provide adequate airflow. I can't attest to it's longevity as we haven't had it long enough. It was relatively simple to assemble but the tiny bolt at the bottom was fused onto the cage. Luckily we had the tools needed to remove it, but it was difficult and would have been impossible without proper tools. This would have meant that anyone else may have had to return the item due to not being able to complete the assembly. The fan itself remains sturdy without the tiny bolt in place though, with the fan on the highest setting the unit remains stable.

Amazing price, good size. Cools down my very large and spacious bedroom. Only downside is it’s a bit noisy but you’ll get used to it. Also it collected some weird brown stuff on the fan after using it for a week not sure what that’s about.

I didn't expect that amount of sound from a small 9" fan. Very light. Both fan speeds vary on it's own. Nbr 1 is loud and nbr 2 is louder. Especially from Russell Hobbs ??? Sounds like a mini outboard motor. I've taken it apart and reassembled it again, following instructions very carefully. It works ok if you can put up with it but don't expect to use it in a bedroom and sleep. I'll put it in the kitchen out of the way. Tiny screw and nut on the cover is very difficult to align and screw together. The oscillation does 'work' but not smoothly and sometimes moves at a sensible speed then goes fast. For a Russell Hobbs I am disappointed. Could have bought one from a Chinese website instead for much less and probably got similar results.

I purchased this for £26.50. It's very powerful and great quality for the low cost. The only con is that it's noisy but wouldn't expect much noice reduction at this price.

I bought this fan during the start of the heatwave, not expecting much for the price. It arrived quickly, was easy to assemble & it is actually very quiet for its size! I was surprised how quiet it actually is & im shocked at how powerful it is too! Setting 3 makes my room icy cold, not even joking! Even keeping it on setting 1 gives me goosebumps! The air is so cold and breezy. If you’re thinking of getting this, just do it. I’m blown away. Literally!

Light and a bit flimsy but does the job perfectly!

Saving my life during this summer heatwave. I cant imagine these past few weeks without it! Not expensive, plastic is sturdy, no whine and its as loud as the speed you set it to, simple as.

AmXing little fan for a very reasonable price. I have it it on the lowest setting and can notice a huge difference in my therapy room. Very quiet also. Would definitely recommend thank you :)

A fan is a fan, it blows air, I get cool, not rocket science! Protective cage screw was missing this was annoying, not going to bother sending back a product over a missed screw !

It is well worth the money
