FN55

The wall fan was bought for our home gym and it serves the purpose well. It’s powerful and easy to install, the assembly was a little tricky in terms of putting the 2 guards together with the provided plastic rim that crews the 2 halves together. The wire is short around a meter but we had a plug in the wall so works for us. All in all not super quiet but very effective speed oscillation and remote control, that said in a gym or non bedroom environment quite effective.

An excellent fan, and really pushes the air. It's neat and tidy, with a heavy circular base that you won't trip over; (a smaller "footprint" than some). The base is covered by a nice but quite thin white plastic cover. This cover is quite easily split, cut, or damaged however if you bash it accidentally when pushing the stand around the floor (before or after assembly). For me, the first hurdle to negotiate in assembling the fan, was to find the shiny metal extension pillar shown in the contents parts list and diagram. I couldn't find mine at all in the packaging, so I assumed that this extension piece must already be installed inside one of the two main halves of the stand, ready to be pulled out, but it was however nowhere to be seen! After ransacking the cardboard box and all the remaining packaging again with no success, and contemplating returning the fan to Amazon as "incomplete", I returned yet again to the two main pillar tubes where again only black plastic met my eyes; no shiny metal. One last determined examination of the plastic, and a firm tug on one of them finally revealed the missing shiny tube, hidden out of sight, and sulking quietly beneath! It surrendered with little protest, and joining the two main tubes with it was then straightforward. The rear half of the safety cage, and the five bladed fan were easy to install, and of course the screw thread for the blades is the reverse of normal direction (so that torque doesn't unscrew the blades when running). Fitting the front half of the cage proved a different matter though. Most domestic fans rely on a simple metal hook/flange at the top to hang the front cage onto the rear part; two or three swing clips secure the two together, then a small discreet nut and bolt at the bottom prevents the cage being removed accidentally (in particular by curious children). This has always worked well. This fan however adopts a different style. The two halves of the cage have no swing clips or latches of any kind; they are held together only by a surrounding plastic strap which is suitably profiled to fit around the rims, and is tightened finally into place by a small bolt and nut. It's a perfectly good arrangement, except that without someone's help to hold the reluctant parts together while you tighten the nut, they will between them defy you to the last! However, if you've got someone to provide that extra hand or two, you'll find things much, much easier! Having said all that, the fan is very good once you've got it together. It's good value in my opinion, and certainly does the job you want in hot humid weather. As for noise levels, I don't think, even on the fastest speed setting, the fan could be accused of excessive noise, though the level is a little greater than less powerful fans. I'm pretty experienced at assembling things out of a box, but having put this particular fan together, I'm now suitably humbled, even embarrassed, at not locating the "missing" extension tube for the best part of half an hour or more!. So, regarding this tube; if only the manufacturer had added a bold note somewhere on the illustration and parts list, "This item is located within the lower main tube beneath a plastic insert", things would have gone much better, for me at least. I hope that others locate the extension tube faster than I did, and can successfully do battle with the fan covers!

This fan was very easy to install and very powerful it's mounted on a plasterboard wall which my last fan use to vibrate quick abit into the next room, these fan does not I can't hear it at all so it great I only have one fault and that is the fan is for wall mounting and only it has a stupidly sort cable not even a metre only luckily I have a extension cable mount half way up the wall so it's fine but just be aware other than that I'm happy .michellis

Hi there. This is the second one of these fans I have purchased in 18 months, so impressed with the first that I bought for my mother that I got myself one. Now if you check the bad reviews of this product, many of them are from folks that had difficulty assembling the item or on occasion had a part missing. Quite how this can be the case in terms of difficulty assembling when it has very few parts I am at a bit of a loss to understand when reading them. So, if you buy this fan, some tips for happy duronic fanning: 1. Lay out all the parts, keep in mind you will have to undo a small holding screw that is holding the fanblade and cages together during transport. It seems many have come a cropper due to this. 2. Take your time, assemble the fan from the bottom up. 3. When it comes to the cage, put the back cage housing on BEFORE you put the fan blades on. Dont forget the nut to hold the cage on the motor housing, then pop your fan blades on. 4. Remember, when putting the fan blades on, the fan blade nut tightens counter clockwise. 5. When putting on front cage section, do not adjust the rubber strap. Just pop the strap on the front cage section over its lip, hold that up to the back part and you can pull the rubber strap over both cage sections lips. After that you can tighten it via the adjustment screw if needed but it should be pretty ok as it is, unless yours came real lose but the two I bought were fine, no adjustment needed. Missing parts: This happens to many a seller and product, it's life. The fact that people wasted their time and money and carbon emissions sending items like this back for a missing part (as can be seen in reviews) is just bonkers to my mind. My second fan turned up with a missing nut to hold the back part of the cage on the motor housing. I contacted duronics here and told them of a missing part. I expected 48 to 72hrs for a reply but I got one within 12hours of sending, they apologised and sent over an exploded diagram of the fan with the parts you get sent and numbers on them. I sent back the part number I was missing that same day, and they had the part to me within 72 hours after that. What more can you ask for from customer service?? at least give em a chance to solve the problem eh. Sending things back without at least trying to get the missing part, then bad reviewing a good product with good service, is just stupid in my book as such good service is rare, but this is what some are like I guess. Anyway, these are good fans, overpowered for the size, usually 16 inch fans = 40watt motors, these are 60 watt. V few are at this size so if you want a real strong breeze from a relatively small footprint simple to use fan, these would tick that box. Best wishes. and p.s. No, I do not work for duronics, nor do I have any family nor friends nor know anyone who does, don't even know where they are based, but good product and service is worth my time to commend.

This is one of the nastiest pieces of rubbish I've ever suffered the misfortune to unpack. The packaging itself is a disaster requiring you to scrub and dissolve sticker gum and cellophane from several components before assembly. Be advised that this fan does NOT tilt as described, it incorporates a spring that immediately returns the fan to horizontal whenever you attempt to point it downward. As far as I can tell the only way to keep the fan pointed downward is to dismantle it, remove the spring, drill the housing and screw it in place at a permanent angle yourself. Absolute waste of money and went straight in the bin, thankfully Amazon processed an immediate refund when I supplied evidence of all the defects.

Excellent fan, I was a bit worried that it might not be strong enough but it’s really sturdy, has a good multi speed fan and optional oscillation feature, and also a remote control which is very handy. Easy to use, it’s reasonably quiet and has a heavy base so no chance of toppling over.

The fan works fine but its expensive and noisy. I expected some noise but this is overbearing

Very powerful, looks good , great price and not overly noisy
