Russell Hobbs 12" Inch, Lightweight, Portable Desk Fan, 3 Speeds, Wide-Angled Oscillation, Powerful Airflow, Quiet Operation, Perfect for Bedroom or Office, White - RHPDF1221

This arrived well packed in it own cardboard packing box which I had asked Amazon to put inside one of their strong delivery boxes to ensure it arrived without damage, so all good.Like most fans, assembly is just a case of pushing it into its base, which it clicks into securely. then screw on the back screen, screw on the fan blade, clip over the front screen spin a couple of clamps and fit a slightly fiddly small screw to secure at the bottom (6 o'clock position) on the front screen - job done!In use in our kitchen, I find it quiet even on full power. Being able to tilt the angle up/down is a great help as don't always want it too low as can fan the gas rings too much so have it tilted towards the ceiling keeping the room more comfortable while cooking and blowing steam / cooking smells out the window.A great fan at a great price. Very happy & would buy again as would be good in the bedroom during the summer.

I did read the reviews but as we know they are not always accurate. So - I believe I can sleep with the quiet humming noise that all vans make ( but I would say that this humming is lower in levels of noice ). Also when buying a fan look at the motor wattage. This is a 40 watt. That means that it is quite powerful which is probably why it’s not so noisy as others. ( it’s not flat out and struggling to do what it’s supposed to do ).Some motors are only 20 watt so would have to work harder to produce the volume of air bringing pushed in your direction. ( that may be a strange way to describe it but I think you know what I mean ). So even on the first( lower ) setting it gives off a very cooling flow of air which is what we want on a high temperature moment day or night. Being a 12 “ blade also obviously also helps. So to round off - it looks well made, is powerful enough to get the job done and is quiet enough for the bedroom. No more struggling with sleep on a hot night. Very impressed. Would definitely recommend this fan. ( not that I could say the same with the delivery - not reading the note on the door and lying, saying it was passed to customer. ) I guess people that struggle with English need to be taught by Amazon to read the note on the door, not just leave it unattended on the doorstep ).

Great item, works well but expensive to run!

Even though i'm not going to use it now, will use it in summer, this fan looks sturdy, no exceesive noise and looks durable. It saves a lot of space and easily portable from one room to another room. Easy to disassemble and put it away in the wardrobe to use it next summer

Most powerful fan at its price, you really shouldn't get anything else

Our dogs struggle with the heat at this time of year so this was purchased to see if it would help.Well it does a great job and makes a significant difference.Really drops the temperature and it's only been on the slowest speed so far.Super simple to assemble and very quiet in operation.Definitely recommend and worth every penny.

Decent enough fan, easy to assemble and effective. My only issue is the motor has burned out in a year; second one to have done this. I appreciate the price point but I would expect it to last longer than a year - although it has had daily use, so I can't complain too much! Worth it for something cheap but be aware you could be buying it more frequently.

Fan works well thanks
