 A Very Durable Fan June 13, 2006

I've had other similarly priced or slightly cheaper fans
operating throughout the summer and they never lasted for more than one season. Holmes has been operating flawlessly for three years now and counting. It's worth a little extra money!

Call me crazy, but I love this fan! Finally, there is peace again in my small apartment. Three months ago I purchased a Sunbeam fan, Model SSF1600RC (see my review of that fan on amazon.com), and it so disturbed my peace, that I ordered this Holmes fan. The other one will be stored away for emergencies. I previously had a Holmes 19" fan, and I noticed it was quieter than all the other brands I`ve tried, so I really hoped this fan would also be quiet. It did not disappoint. In fact, this is the quietest fan I've ever owned. Now I don't have to bother my neighbors by playing the TV loud, in order to hear it over fan noise. If you turn this fan up to High, it's as noisy as my Sunbeam was on low. The Low and Medium speeds are pleasantly quiet. The Low speed puts out enough air flow that you can feel it 10 feet away.
The strange thing is, this Holmes fan is manufactured by Sunbeam, according to the instruction booklet. The warranty is covered by "Sunbeam Products, Inc., doing business as Jarden Consumer Solutions". For some reason, their Holmes fans are in a totally different class, as far as noise levels.
If I had the storage space, I would buy another one of these now, because these fans only seem to last 2-3 years. I run it about 15 hours a day during the warmer months, and clean it regularly. Unfortunately, the motors always freeze up on me anyway. It sure would be nice if a fan would last longer than the warranty period. Maybe I'll get lucky this time.

Purchased this fan to help cool a small computer room. Fan is quieter than the computer fans and keeps the air moving. We've been using the fan for 6 months now and haven't had a problem.
Quiet motor, easy setup, great room fan February 22, 2010

Wonderful fan and very quiet. Easy to setup, very sturdy, with options to pan or stay in one position plus the ability to tilt up. When I use the medium setting, fixed position, pointed over my head I have the advantage of room circulation without distracting background noise or blowing items on my home office desk.

It has always amazed me that companies like Amazon want a rating on a product when you have only had it for a few weeks. This fan works great, it is quiet, was easy to assemble and it was delivered promptly but what about four months from now. Based on what I know now, it deserves a five star rating and a great recommendation but if you buy it based on the ratings, keep in mind the limited amount of experience that we users have had on which to base our evaluation. I hope I am just as happy with it a year or more from now.
