PELONIS 16" Oscillating Pedestal Stand Up Fan | Adjustable Height | Ultra Quiet DC Motor | Remote Control | 12 Speed | 12-Hour Timer | High Energy Efficiency | for Bedroom Home Office Use | White

A bit of backstory, I've spent the last month looking for a new bedroom fan to replace the ten year old junk fan we had. I've bought about 10 different fans ranging in price from $30-75 from Walmart, Amazon, Sam's Club and Home Depot. Tried 3 different Lasko 5 blade DC motor fans from Sam's too. Every single one had badly balanced blades and mediocre stability. The AC motor fans weren't much more efficient than our old junker. The old 16" fan used 20-60w between the 1-3 settings. I took a chance on this Pelonis based on the reviews and the manual. The base is heavy and stable, the motor is quiet and as efficient as comparable DC motor fans, the features all seem to work well, and it's super quiet. Using my power meters, this fan pushes an impressive amount of air under 10W and tops out at roughly 37W at max power. Half of the power range is under 10W and moves a great deal of air. It's impressive how quiet everything is and how nicely balanced the blades were. Even the packaging was better on this unit vs everything else. The assembly wasn't too bad, the fit between the main post and the motor unit was a tad snug. Working the fan cage ring on took a few minutes too, but overall I'd say it was quite easy. The only negative I can see is the price and the 1 year warranty, but I feel that I got my money's worth if this lasts a few years. Either way, the power savings are significant. Old fan at "2" ~40w running almost year round = ~$40/yr in electricity Old fan at "3" ~55w running almost year round = ~$56/yr in electricity New fan at "6" ~10w running almost year round = ~$10/yr in electricity - similar airflow to "2" New fan at "8" ~15w running almost year round = ~$15/yr in electricity - similar airflow to "3"

Compared this 12 speed fan to a 20 year old Pelonis AC pedestal fan with 3 speeds. AC low speed = DC speed 5. AC high = DC 11. AC middle is DC 7-8. So the DC fan has 4 speeds that are lower and mostly inaudible. The DC fan has one higher speed, 12, that is louder BUT at 11 is about the same noise as the AC on high. The oscillating feature on the DC version is remote controlled instead of a pull-up switch. Oscillation is a fixed rate independent of fan speed. The front guard is now easily clipped on, older models had the dreaded fiddly, teeny screw to fight with. The design is attractive. The base is heavy enough to keep the fan stable but not too heavy. Improvements needed? Beeper mute, up AND DOWN speed selection instead of only up. These are very minor though. Well engineered and great value when you consider what you are getting for the price. Yes I would buy again, perhaps in 20 years like the first one (AC) lasted. Biggest reason to buy this fan is for low speed. quiet performance. If you only use fans on high just buy a cheaper AC model.

I have purchased many stand up fans over the years as I have a big family! I was hesitant at first to purchase this fan as it was a bit more expensive than others I have bought at my local Costco, Sam’s Club, Walmart or Target however, I did and I am very happy. Here are the Pros and Cons. *Here Are The Pros: This fan is very easy to assemble and I have really bad arthritis & fibromyalgia and I was able to assemble it with no problem. It took 5-10 minutes at tops. I really like the base as it was heavy duty and not going to crack or cause the fan to wobble or fall over. This was a big plus as I have purchased other fans where the base was flimsy or eventually cracked, causing the fan to fall to the side rendering it useless. The fan speeds are a great option and all seem to work well. From the lowest speed to the highest speed, I was pleased with all levels of air. This fan is for a 12x 15 living room and it was very strong and did the job. The noise reduction feature was also a big plus. *Here Is The Cons: The snap to hold the fan together at the base of the fan is plastic and I would have preferred it to be metal. Also, with such a beautiful fan and all the bells and whistle‘s that it offers, I would have liked a nice slick black remote for this fan. It came with a bright white plain, cheap looking remote. *Overall: With that being said... I still gave this fan (5)*****STARS! It is a heavy duty great fan🤗 UPDATE: Many have stated in their reviews that the “Remote Control” needs to be right in front of the fan in order to work! I found this to be the case as well. It needs to be directly in front of the fan within a few feet away. It will not work from a far distance or behind. I still will stick with my 5*****’s as it is a great fan! Just needs those couple miner tweaks in its manufacturing of this nice fan🤗

I bought the Pelonis 16" oscillating fan in July 2023, and it has proven to be a reliable and impressive purchase. Nearly two years later, it’s still going strong, with no need to replace the batteries in the remote—a testament to its durability. The fan has a premium fit and finish, especially when compared to typical $30–$40 fans found at big-box stores. While it’s not a luxury item, it looks sleek and well-crafted for what it is—a functional fan, not a decorative centerpiece. One of its standout features is how quiet it is on the first three speed settings, while still delivering enough airflow to create a noticeable cooling effect. At higher speeds, the noise increases significantly, but so does the air output, which is powerful and effective for larger spaces. My only minor complaint is a slight whirring noise from the oscillating mechanism at lower speeds. It’s not loud enough to be a dealbreaker, but I’ve noticed it enough to occasionally turn off the oscillation. Thankfully, the fan moves enough air even without oscillation, so this hasn’t been a major issue. Before buying, I compared this to the Rowenta VU 5670, an 18" fan that seemed excellent but was priced at $149 in 2023 (though cheaper now). The Rowenta’s higher cost, longer delivery time, and fewer speed settings led me to choose the Pelonis. I haven’t regretted it. The Pelonis offers fantastic value for the money, and I’m planning to purchase another soon due to its performance and longevity. Pros: Durable (still works perfectly after 2 years) Quiet on low speeds with good airflow Premium look for the price Long-lasting remote battery Cons: Slight whirring noise when oscillating at low speeds Higher speeds can be noisy For anyone looking for a reliable, well-designed fan at a reasonable price, the Pelonis 16" is a great choice.

I’ve used a beloved Windmere pedestal fan I got at Costco at least 25 years ago which is still chugging along but needed a second one. Very happy with my choice. The only things I don’t like are that the cord emerges from the middle of the pedestal vs from beneath it so is ugly. Will prob use some black electrical tape to secure it to the pedestal. The base is a lot wider than my old Windmere so takes up more floor space. Unfortunate, but not going to ding a star on info that was there before I bought it. Assembly was a little annoying. The bolt that secures the fan actually tightens counter-clockwise. Took a while for me to catch on; thought I had managed to strip the plastic piece that screws on to the metal. Yeah, felt dumb because I wrestled with it longer than I’d like to admit but who knew it’d be ‘leftie tightie!’ Then, took quite a few tries to get the front and back grill to attach properly (design could be better, but okay ...) Now to the things I really like. It’s quiet (so is my Windmere) so I can hear my outdoor fountain over it which was vital. The remote is basic and works, with my only challenge figuring a strategy not to lose it! If I do, at least the controls are midway up the pedestal vs on the base like my Windmere so far easier to see and operate. Love the 12 speeds. The lowest yields the slightest air movement and the highest a serious blast. Way better than the 3 speeds of my other fan. Digital readout is helpful, and appreciate that when one starts the fan it remembers the last setting so no need to keep cycling through speeds. Bottom line? I’ve made this fan primary and relegated my beloved, trusty Windmere to secondary status.

I have two Honeywell QuietSet oscillating fans – which were kind of the undisputed champs for quiet fans. Eventually one of them started to hum after about 6 years of use and so wasn’t as quiet (still better than a normal fan, but louder than I wanted). Unfortunately, I guess they have been discontinued or something because I can only find them on Amazon at a whopping $180. So after reading a BILLION reviews, this seems to be the current quietest fan out there and I paint just shy of $80. So lets compare! I put my still properly functioning Honeywell fan and the Pelonis about 7 feet from my favorite chair making sure both were exactly the same height (the Pelonis is capable of a few more inches in height) and both pointing directly at me. For most of the Honeywell’s 5 speeds I could find an exact duplicate based upon how much wind I felt (shirt off… I was going for accuracy!). The Pelonis is capable of both a little higher wind speed and a little lower. At low speeds and equal wind power, the noise from both was slightly different, but ultimately equal in terms of how bothersome, or how much you can hear it over a quiet television (virtually silent). In the middle range, the Honeywell was the clear winner as you can hear the buffeting from the fan blades on the Pelonis. The overall loudness was similar, but the texture of the sound was much better on the Honeywell and blends into other ambient noise (like a TV) considerably better – the Pelonis was more “annoying” sounding. It’s still very good, but not as good. The sound from the Honeywell was more of halfway between brown and pink noise wash sound whereas the Pelonis sounded more like buffeting (like a motor type sound). At the top speed for the Honeywell, the annoyance of the noise was still in favor of the Honeywell, but it was not as drastic of a difference vs. the middle speeds. One advantage of the Pelonis is that the oscillating feature is available on the remove. And it does go a couple inches taller if you need to clear an obstruction like a couch. I found the 12 speeds utterly ridiculous and didn’t like having to hit the button so many times. The 5 speeds of the Honeywell are enough. The Pelonis fan is quiet heavy due to a weighted base. If you are older and maybe frail, then this one might be hard to move around. On the flip side, if you have kids that are completely out of control, the extra stability might be nice if they will be crashing into it constantly if you put it in a high traffic area. It’s certainly overkill with the weighted base IMO. Although the assembly instructions are fully complete, they are not laid out well. Not a problem for me, but if you are the type of person that struggles with assembly instructions, you will find them frustrating. I’m very sensitive to fan noise and I really dislike it. So for me this fan is a win. It’s a slight downgrade from the fan in replaced so I keep the one good Honeywell in the living room where it’s most important and put the Pelonis elsewhere.

This is the quietest fan I have ever seen!!! I like that it has 12 speeds so I can set it exactly to the perfect setting.

Recently, I wanted to replace an older tower fan in my bedroom. Initially, I purchased a different fan from Amazon that was about half the price of this one. As I assembled it, I kept thinking "wow, are all fans this junky nowadays?" It was plastic all the way through. That night after turning it on, it sounded--I am not kidding--like a 747 taking off in my bedroom. I like white noise, but this was absurd. So the next day I ordered the Pelonis fan. It arrived promptly, put together easily, has at least some metal parts (so it feels solid and heavier), and best of all: when it is on levels 1-3, I cannot hear it at all. It also blows out a good bit of breeze at all levels. If it's a warmer night, I'll use it at 4 or 5, but usually the lower speeds are fine. I generally set it by hand and forget about it, but the remote works well. Also, I think it looks nice, like a proper fan. (I never got used to the look of the leaning tower effect of my old tower fan.) I recommend this product. The Pelonis fan was certainly worth the added cost to me, and I suspect you will like it too.

Lo compré por las características de bajo ruido y en verdad que es excelente

I was surprised it came better than I thought. Wasn’t sure how it would come as some reviews has stated is cheap and breaks. The quality isn’t as good as I’d expect due to the price being so high. It is mainly plastic but it does have lots of air flow and it’s quiet enough. I don’t regret the purchase, over priced but works as intended.

Excelente ventilador con 12 niveles de potencia. Silencioso, y con regulación que permite un viento suave , sin sobre ventilar el cuerpo. Muy recomendado y su precio muy favorable

My very beloved fan crossed the rainbow bridge about two weeks ago and I took shopping for its replacement very seriously. I'm happy I found this one. This fan does it all. It can be quiet, it can be reasonably loud. If you're like me and enjoy feeling like you're standing in a wind tunnel or very pleasant tornado while you sleep, this fan is wonderful! But don't worry if you're not; the lower speeds offer just a slight breeze. It's much prettier than my old one (RIP) and the remote is a nice touch. The fact that I don't have to get up to change the speed in the middle of the night is a game-changer. I can also change the direction! Just brilliant. Minor criticisms for buyers to beware of: 1. The beep whenever you change something— if you're putting this in a child's room or nursery, you might wake them up when you change speeds, make it swing, or set the timer. It's pretty loud. 2. The remote is really uncomfortable to hold. Granted this doesn't really matter since you won't be spending much time holding it at all, but... definitely could've contoured a bit and rounded the edges for a better hand feel. It's also huge for a remote with only four buttons— I've seen TV remotes smaller— but maybe that was unavoidable. I'm no remote expert. The pros definitely outweigh the cons, and I'm quite happy with my purchase. If anything goes wrong I'll update here (like the motor stopping or something breaking) but I don't think it'll happen. Seems well-made and sturdy! Edit: Still using and loving this fan in 2024!

Tengo poco tiempo con él por lo que no se que pase al año o mas. Por el momento todo muy bien. Bonito y silencioso (suficiente para dormir)
