Than you for your video! The assembly instructions on the box were useless! Without your video I’d still be a hot mess, and a bottle of wine deep in quarantine
*I like how quiet it is, how well it works and **Fastly.Cool** , This was perfect to help air out a guest room and to use instead of AC when I only want one room kept cool. Works great!*
I had no issues either, if you ever put a fan together, then it's easy and you know about reverse threads... if you take your time, it's very easy to assemble
Helpful video. Thank you! The reverse threading of the blade cap was exactly what I thought when reading some of the negative reviews related to assembly.
Just got the fan yesterday. It looks like Amazon listened to reviews! The black cap on blade attachment part was gone completely. However, the pin on the smaller blade is missing. I couldn’t figure out if the blades should overlap each other or be layered in the same spot 🤷♀️. It’s working very well, so I left them at overlapping. Thanks for the review!
Thanks! Really helped. The only thing not included with the fan is a screw driver bar (can’t think what those are called - will probably come to me at 3:00 a.m.) That and batteries would have been helpful but half the time batteries are almost dead and it took me all of a minute to realize my butter knife (a second extra for a mild curse) wasn’t cutting it and dug around another 2 min to find my screwdriver. The screw never felt totally tight and I mentally assumed the piece would rattle - but lo and behold it is quiet with no obvious rattly pieces. I’m giving it a 5. I wish someone would invent one that would fit in a window to bring in fresh air since I recently moved to S. Vermont from NYC and now have really fresh air. 18:15
Normal is just standard operations for the fan, nature is breeze (fan goes slower and faster randomly), and sleep mode lets you set a timer so it turns off automatically.
I wish I had looked at this first! I put it together with the manual instructions and thought it was perfect. However, the air is blowing out if the back. So I have the big fan BACKWARDS and can't get it off!!!🤦🏿🤦🏿🤦🏿
sounds like you are trying to flip the blades. The cap that holds the blades on is reversed threaded. Try twisting the cap counter clock wise to remove them. Hope this helps 🙂
I am very sorry about that and also sorry for the late reply. I don't know why i am not getting notifications of comments. The only issue I had with the rod was with that little knob on the side. I had to take that completely out in order for the rod to fit 9:46. I hope this helps
@@peytonguy1782 nope the main piece aka the actual fan just barely stays on the rod with no screw to hold it in place. Still works though, but if I bump the shiet hard enough it could fall on my foot.
@@EmptyNestersReviews Wow! Really didn’t expect to hear back from you, never mind with this promptness and continued positive review. Many thanks and enjoy the rest of the day!
It seems like when you add the smaller fan the pin would have made the fins align with the bigger one, then when you cut to the next shot the small fins are staggered between the bigger ones if that makes sense, did you do something to align the two fans like that?
great question!! you are 100 percent correct. the blades should align to the pin and not be staggered. I was over thinking it and thought they should of been staggered, but that's incorrect. i should of noted that in the video
Hi Matthew, you sound like me as I am the same way :-). When I meant by quite, I meant that you dont hear the whine noise that comes from the motor. For me, low speed is too quite and I cant sleep with the fan on low speed, so I turn it on medium. Medium speed seems to work nice for me. All I hear is the constant spinning noise from the blade and the air it pushes out. I hope this helps
The part I needed to see was the part you didn't record...Connecting the top knurled screw knob to the base...mine just keep spinning and not tightening to hold the motor
The electric part hooked to the stand Pole , why doesn’t it hold up the fan? The last part you showed us , it doesn’t screw back in at all, won’t tighten so the top partt just loose and can fall at any minute ….
there should actually be 2 of them. One upper and one lower. They should both remain attached. The lower one allows you to raise and lower the pole. The upper basically keep the fan from lifting off the pole. I hope this helps :-)
@@EmptyNestersReviews I have one that’s attached to the rod piece already but the one on the unit like can’t go in because there’s no hole for it to slide into
how is this fan holding up so far? do you still have it? does it still work? im looking to buy it but you know what they say, they dont make em like they used too and im looking for a fan that wont die in the next year.
If it helps, I bought mine in January of 2020, use it every night (and have cleaned it a few times, which is dead simple) and it still runs perfectly. Sounds just like the day I bought it.
if the cage is also attached, you have to remove that in order to get to the fan blade. Next you have to remove the cap by turning this clock wise (its reversed thread). You should now be able to install the small fan blade. Now install the cap by Turning this counter clock wise then reinstall the cage 7:06 for reference. I hope this helps you

Ordered one but was weary of all the negative reviews!!! This video puts me at ease.
Thanks Jose!! I hope you like it. I have had no issues so far and I run it every night, but time will tell

yep I had the same question about the baldes and ended up over lapping mine as well 😃
6:48 was literally the part messing me up.
me too, I edited it out but I was really getting annoyed until i noticed that little piece needed to be removed 😀
mee too. thank you so much

Thanks

i was like why tf are there 2 different fan blades in the box lol. thanks for assembly instructions.
you are very welcome

This was useful, thanks a lot.
Terrible assembly instructions. The one issue im having which is connecting the main unit to the rod you didnt show.
Buttwhole Lee im having the exact same problem it makes no sense

Agreed. Useless
I'm having the same issue, did you ever find a fix? I think the hole is too big for the screw.

Thanks man. Very helpful video. I appreciate it.
Thanks for the video.
Great video. I found it very informative. Well, it’s 2 years later - Are you still satisfied with it?
Hi Jeanne, I am very happy and still use this as of today 🙂
@@EmptyNestersReviews Wow! Really didn’t expect to hear back from you, never mind with this promptness and continued positive review. Many thanks and enjoy the rest of the day!
Thank You 😊 in 2021
Do you know how to reset it, in the middle of the night the fan is off but it won’t stop oscillating
Thanks...very helpful!
You're welcome!😀

how quiet is quiet for this fan because i like a nice decent amount of fan noise to put me asleep and i’m scared this might be too quiet for me

@@EmptyNestersReviews yes it does help i think this is going to be my next fan thank you
Thanks for your help
you are very welcome :-)
how to retrieve my fan after i hit the timer. I can do on off but the blades not working now
Since you said that it is quiet, I probably will be able to sleep with it on. I'm a light sleeper. Plus I couldn't hear it in the video.
The part I needed to see was the part you didn't record...Connecting the top knurled screw knob to the base...mine just keep spinning and not tightening to hold the motor
I am sorry about that. try reverse tightening. I think this has reversed threads
hey can u tell me the pan cage its plastic or metal?
the cage is a thin metal
how do I remove the plastic tube from the shaft?
it took some effort but I manged to just pull it off
Thank you for this great instruction video. As Ariel has stated below, the instruction book is useless!!
The electric part hooked to the stand Pole , why doesn’t it hold up the fan? The last part you showed us , it doesn’t screw back in at all, won’t tighten so the top partt just loose and can fall at any minute ….
make sure the screw is in correctly. It took me a few times, it could also be stripped in that case it wont tighten
At 9:46 , are you supposed to keep the screw out entirely? Or does it screw back on once the rod and unit are connected
there should actually be 2 of them. One upper and one lower. They should both remain attached. The lower one allows you to raise and lower the pole. The upper basically keep the fan from lifting off the pole. I hope this helps :-)

@@rhawn5737 I’m having the same problem
I had to wiggle and push the motor section down really hard to get the motor section secure. It actually took 3 tries, but it finally worked.
@@kimstricklin6539 I'll try that... I am struggling with that
how is this fan holding up so far? do you still have it? does it still work? im looking to buy it but you know what they say, they dont make em like they used too and im looking for a fan that wont die in the next year.
hey there! yup i still use it every night, cant sleep without it. Still holding up well.
If it helps, I bought mine in January of 2020, use it every night (and have cleaned it a few times, which is dead simple) and it still runs perfectly. Sounds just like the day I bought it.
That freaking black plastic covering at 6:47 is why I am here. So annoying.
Trying to put this thing together on my own was starting to piss me off.
oh me too, but I cut those parts out :-)
My fan cage came clipped together. Anyone else have this issue? I can't pull the fan cages apart without breaking it
There should be a clip with a little screw in it at the bottom of the cage that holds it together. Unscrew this and the cage should come apart
I need to clean the blades but i can't seem to get the cage off.. any ideas? Thanks

"This is really quiet." "It's really quiet." "Guys, this is really quiet." "Quiet so far."
How would we know??
good point, guess I was surprised and comparing it to my last fan which sounded like I was on a plane :-)
Mine arrived with the big fan already attached & no space to add the little fan. Don’t know what to do
if the cage is also attached, you have to remove that in order to get to the fan blade. Next you have to remove the cap by turning this clock wise (its reversed thread). You should now be able to install the small fan blade. Now install the cap by Turning this counter clock wise then reinstall the cage 7:06 for reference. I hope this helps you
I did everything but I can't unlock the screw its stuck
if its the screw i am thinking of then its reversed threaded. Try turning it the opposite way
@@EmptyNestersReviews a little late but I got it thanks !
mine was missing half the parts to the point that it’s impossible to build it
I am very sorry to hear this
MUCH more helpful than that @(#&% manual. Thanks!
You're welcome! I am glad I could help 😀
OSK - illating ? ? ? LOL Speak English much ? Sorry , too funny . Sounds like me trying to speak
haha!! I know, I hate it when I talk. Certain words give me trouble, like water, that one for some reason gets me
the c is silent in oscillating damn! its pronounced "ossillating" do you pronounce scintilla skintilla? did you learn that is shhhoooolll
Grow up.
