Does the fan hold up well? I see a review saying it stopped working properly after one year, and completely after four.

I've had my fan for 2 years and I've not seen any problems with the fan or the light. The glass bowl is a bit lopsided but it always has been.. I use it intermittently all year and constantly in the summertime, it makes no unusual noises and spins smoothly without any wobble. It works so quietly that I sometimes turn the fan on accidentally reaching for the light pull, and later wonder why I've a chill. LOL

Used for about 6 months use so far in a severe environment with no problems

Yes I've had no problems for these 2 years maybe 3 quiet and it works fine.

That's an interesting question...the fan seems to be built well enough to last a lifetime, particularly as I probably only have about 20 years to go! But seriously, fans tend to be long-lasting and this one seems well made. It performs very satisfactorily - although louder than I would like at anything but the low setting - still it blows a lot of air at the low setting, doesn't take up much space...yes, I like it well enough to keep it forever!

Julie, I have the whole fan unit that I installed but a customer didn't like it, you can buy the one I have. It was barely used. $30 cash ok? Greg - acrescue@rocketmail.com

can't tell you how long it lasts, but I have been running mine 24/7 since I bought it and it is still going strong. if and when the fan dies you can buy a replacement one on here from coolermaster, or Noctua if you want the best cooling fan

Just bought mine today and turned it on 4 - experiencing a similar problem: Every several minutes the fan will decrease for a second and then go back to normal. It's almost like a power issue, but I don't notice lights dimming or anything else other than the fan noise for that second...

Make sure the fan is not blocked with dust and is working, Mine works fine after I removed the plug on the end and wired it directly to the outlet. I went through 3 of these in 6 months but removed the plug and it works like a champ.

You should have a one year warranty on this. Contact the manufacturer for how to have warranty work done. I also had the fan and display go out - had to return for warranty work.

The cooler part of my two fans are about the only thing that has kept on working. I have returned by fans to the manufacturer at least four times for repairs which is about the only thing you can do if you are having a problem. Wish I had a better answer for you. If you are under warranty, they will do the repairs for free but it is pretty inconvenient having to box up and return the fan. Give them a call and they will send you a UPS label so you can ship it back at no charge. Hope this helps.

Hi sorry to hear about the issue. If you have tried everything with no luck, would suggest swapping it out for another. 1 of 3 I purchased we ended up returning. Now, we got ours at a local store so I didn't have to hassle with repackaging/shipping. My sister bought one and had issues as well. I commented on the table top version of this fan that unfortunately the manufacturer is not very consistent, or that QA is lacking. Despite the little issue i had, I am very very satisfied with my purchases. Good luck and I hope you get to enjoy your fan soon!

Hi, I've had it for around a year and it is working great. I wouldn't know what is the complete average life of it though.

There is a noise when the buttons are pressed, but not terrible. I've had my fan for 5-10 years and it is still doing the job.

It seems to run so cool for some things that the fan never comes on. I have had the fan come on (which is pretty quiet) occasionally, and it was still running pretty cool. My thought would be that you'll be fine, as long as you have a clear path from the fan area to a good supply of air.

Yeah. As long as you fix up those small stands provided, it stays pretty stable. I leave it on cardboard for an elevated state, and its as steady as a rock. But if you prefer like a pin drop silent night's sleep, this fan gets noisy as you up the speed. That's the only negative. But that has never been an issue for me so, I say its a great choice for the price.Hope this helped.

My answer is identical to the others listed. Also my electrician who installed it in the living room judged it to be a very good fan..sorry I cannot the rest of the praise he had for it.

Yepper! The whole fan comes apart and reassembles very easily. It's a 'breeze' to clean. And it sure does fan! I really like it.

The fan on ours goes off often, but no, no buzzing. Is it still under warrantee? We had to use our warranty, and although lengthy, the customer service was able to (fina;;y) help us.
