Koonie 8'' Wall Mount Fan, Quiet Small Fan with Timer, 8.2ft Wired Remote

Update: The second fan works. My use case is to ventilate a basement bathroom. The bathroom does have an exhaust vent, but it’s not very efficient. And I previously used a small USB powered fan that didn’t provide enough air movement. This fan is relatively quiet and moves plenty of air for the small bathroom. And it comes with a metal wall mount bracket. Because I have a Home Assistant home automation system, I configured a smart plug to be turned on when a humidity sensor is triggered. The smart plug zwave auto off parameter was set for 30 minutes and it shuts off automatically, so the fan runs for 30 minutes once the humidity level in the bathroom increases to my trigger level. And this fan does remember the last setting, so it works perfectly for my needs. Original review: The fan was discovered to be defective upon initial testing. In the high speed mode the fan would start to spin up and then shut down, and this repeated indefinitely. The fan itself with the size that I was looking for, had a good oscillating function, and more importantly, the fan remembered the last setting after power was removed and then restored. My intent was to connect this fan to a smart power plug and use my home automation system to control it based on the humidity in a small bathroom. I’m giving a three stars because everything else with the fan was good besides the defective high speed setting. So I’m going to order one more fan from this manufacturer and see if it works.

From reading the other reviews it's clear this listing has changed over time to accommodate different products and options. This review is applicable to "Koonie 8'' Wall Mount Fan, Quiet Small Wall Fan with Timer, 8.2ft Wired Remote, 80° Oscillation, 100° Adjustable, 3 Speeds High Velocity for RV Bedroom Kitchen Office Garage(Adapter Included)", which is the product I bought (black in color). I really wanted a ceiling fan but that wasn't possible in this space so I figured a wall-mounted fan placed high near the ceiling would be the next best thing. It is. I was kind of surprised how expensive wall-mounted fans have become, and I bought this one because it was on the lower end of the range at $39 that had all the features I needed, primarily being small enough to install easily, move enough air, not too loud, and being able to control it without having to directly access the fan itself because being installed out of reach near the ceiling. There are 3 different ways to install it on a wall; attaching the included metal plate to the wall with screws and hanging the fan on the plate, using the included glue to glue the plate to the wall, or not using the plate at all and simply hang the fan from a single screw or nail from a screw slot for that purpose on the top center of the fan base. I didn't see #3 anywhere in the instructions but fortunately I saw the slot before drilling an extra, unnecessary hole in the wall plus adding a step to the installation with an unnecessary metal plate. Maybe it's quieter with the extra install steps? Since I find the fan quiet enough as is, I'll probably never find out. On highest speed the fan moves a surprising amount of air across a small room for a 10 watt motor. Of course it makes noise (all fans do), but I don't find it unusually loud or annoying. This is a USB powered fan. It comes with a 10 watt USB adapter. Since almost everything comes with a USB port nowadays this adds options on how one chooses to power the fan if the port can handle 10 watts, which most newer ones do. The fan is controlled via a two-button switch housing placed between the fan and the end of the USB cable. One button turns the fan on (press 3 times to get to high speed) and the other button sets the timer or long-press it to turn the oscillating feature on/off. There are also (nearly hidden) buttons on the fan itself to control these functions. Oscillating means that the fan sweeps from side-to-side so it can move air over a wider area. I usually use it in a fixed position, but its nice to know I have the option if I change my mind. The fan is easily adjusted up, down, left or right with a wide range of motion so it's simple to direct the flow of air just about anywhere. If the fan is installed out of reach like mine is, it's convenient to turn the oscillating function on and off via the cable-mounted switch, and the oscillating stops as soon as the button is pressed, so one doesn't have to directly access the fan to set the horizontal position. The fan is rugged- I accidentally dropped it from near the ceiling and it fell over 8 feet to the concrete floor below and it was surprisingly undamaged. One improvement I can think of for an 8" fan like this that would make it a true 5 star product (I give this 4.5 stars): at this price point it should also have a wireless remote. Notice I said "also", meaning, keep the existing buttons but also include a keychain-sized cheap wireless remote. It's nice that I don't have to directly access the fan, but I still have to walk across the room to get to the power cable. This is advertised as having a "wired remote" but that's a pretty weak description of "remote" because remote implies that the control unit would terminate in your hand (or wherever you set it), not at a fixed location tethered between the power outlet and the fan.

this fan mounts great and the controls are easy to use, and I like how it rotates. It has 3 speeds, but even at the highest speed, I wish it blew harder. It wind speed is a lot lighter than I was wanting or expecting. Otherwise, it works great.

This is a great fan. It pushes air well and is pretty quiet. I like the time options and simplicity of using the timer. We use this fan daily and for hours. It helps clear the humidity out of a small bathroom with shower. In fact it has helped reduce odor as well due to keeping a good circulation. It was very easy to hang. I didn’t use the adhesive mount so I can’t say how it works. This is a good value for what it gives and has been durable for as much as it is used.

The fan randomly stops working sometimes within seconds of me turning it on, and the remote stops working as well there will be one light on on the remote only, but after that, it is unusable, even after unplugging it for a while and plugging it back in it would still be broken. The issue somehow fixes itself sometimes but it’s very prone to happening again it’s happened several times already in the few days I’ve had it. Everything is incredibly cheap feeling not valuable at all.

I use this for my kitchen. Comes in handy.

It seems to work well so far. EXCEPT that the screw to mount the fan on the bracket screws into plastic. Just my minor twisting during install has striped it out. I am not sure how long it will hold. We will probably have to drill through the other side and get a real (metal) bolt/nut to make sure it stays in place.

Very strong fan and whisper quiet. I use this fan over my aquarium and it really cools the system. The fact that it rotates is especially good for covering a large area. Easily mounts to the wall with provided hardware. I'll be getting a few of these for other rooms with limited for space especially near my bed
