Igenix DF1655 Pedestal Fan – 16” Oscillating Stand Fan with Quiet Operation, 3-Speed Settings, Adjustable Height, Energy Efficient 40W Cooling – Ideal for Home & Office – White

It was cheaper than other fans and after I'd ordered it, I checked the reviews and it said the company I'd gone to, through Amazon, wasn't very good. Well I wasn't one of those that got a raw deal. It was 3 days early arriving, easy-ish to build and it's quieter than I was expecting. I was really impressed to be honest, the company where a lot better than what ppl had put on Trust pilot..

Easy to assemble and work really well. Look smart in black. Excellent value for money. Lightweight but should be fine for domestic environment. Not too noisy at night in bedroom whilst sleeping and don't drown out TV either during evening.

When a product has 16% 1-star reviews you start to worry ... but that seems par for the course at this end of the market, so I took a punt and ordered it. Maybe I was in luck but inside the box I found:- assembly instructions written in actual English (not a computer translation);- all the promised bits; and- everything worked.You will need a cross-head screwdriver. I found that a PH1 was perfect.Assembly is a step-by-step process. You also need to use your judgement. If you see a couple of pins sticking out of the metal spindle that emerges from the motor unit, those pins fit into slots at the back of the fan blade unit when you push that on. There are also a couple of plastic thingys that engage into slots on the rear safety grille when you put that in place. It's all there, but you need to be patient. Mine came with the inner (extension) pole inserted into the main pole, so that saved five seconds. When you're fitting the rear grille, the knurled plastic ring that secures it tightens onto the metal motor spindle in the usual way (clockwise). The *other* ring, which secures the fan blade assembly, tightens *anti-clockwise*. Bear that in mind. I nearly broke it. The most fiddly bit was fitting the front part of the grille. It has a lot of clips around the circumference, and you need to loosen them (you may need pliers) to get it lined-up correctly with the rear part. You also need to ensure that the tiny screw 'ole at the bottom of the front part lines-up with the 'ole on the back part. I resorted to bad language and leaning the whole thing against a sofa at 45 degrees to see what I was doing, but I got there. Oh yes - and before I started all this I connected the motor and ran it to be sure it seemed OK.How does it perform? You get a fair blast of wind, and quietly, on the lowest setting. The mid setting is more powerful, but still pretty quiet. On maximum it's a bit noisier, and you start to get that angry buzzing you can hear with propeller aircraft ... a bit like cardboard hitting the spokes on a bike wheel. For my needs (getting the air to move on a hot day) the first two settings are ample. I am sure it won't be a problem to sleep with the fan running.Build quality? About as good as you can expect. The motor housing and switch panel feel 'plasticky', and the switches are too squishy for total confidence. You can disengage the gears that cause the head to swivel (switch off, then lift the knob at the rear of the motor housing) and I would always do that to reduce the load on the 50W motor. You can also adjust the angle (up/down) of the fan, but only by about 10 degrees. I'd have liked 45 degrees or more up-angle to get the air bouncing off the ceiling.The cable is around 130cm total. That's short. With the fan at maximum height, the cable hits the floor and then runs just 50cm sideways. If your sockets are at skirting board level, you won't have much room to position the fan.Overall this fan feels stable, thanks to its long legs, and about right for the cash. It gets a comfortable 4 stars. I had the feeling that for another quid or two they could have beefed-up the switchgear and lengthened the cable.I have posted the assembly instructions in case they help anyone.

Bought to have in the bedroom and it does the job, not a bad price either. The dust will affect the air from it (as with anything, ex. Consoles) but a quick wipe of the blades every couple months and it's sorted.

This will be a detailed review - I bought this because we are expected 29 Degrees next week and I live in a static so it gets very warmAt first - Its reasonable priced - £20 - Cant go wrong right ??? Wrong !!Easy to put together yes but There is either a piece missing or its a very poor design - the bit that the blade sits on just spins through the blades and does really spin the blades well , I tried putting this rubber sleeve over the bolt thing but it just melted , makes aloud noise , doesnt spin well and the fan is just rubbish - not worth the money - tried to call customer services but useless as always.Size is fine , nice big and tall enough to put at end of sofa , and the legs and pole seems very stable and sturdy but the fan itself is just rubbish - I honestly either missing a part to make the blade spin properly or very poor design - dont waste your money honestly not worth the hassle

This is my first negative feedback. One of the screws had a damaged recess and could not be undone. I ended up using the fan with three screws fixed out of four. It is quite difficult for me to pack it up and get to some drop point due to transport issues. Also the neck does not bend adequately to direct the flow (but that is a design issue rather than a quality issues).

Used this across hot shifts, home setups, and van-side cool-downs—fan’s quiet even on high speed, with no rattles or wobble. Oscillation’s smooth and covers a wide area, ideal for keeping air moving in tight spaces. Three speed settings give decent control, and the airflow’s strong without being overpowering.Height adjusts easily, and the base is stable—no tipping or sliding. Assembly’s quick, and the build feels solid for the price. Ideal for drivers, site workers, or anyone who needs reliable cooling without the noise.Perfect for bedrooms, garages, or workstations where you want airflow without distraction.Minor gripe: no remote or timer—manual controls only, so not ideal for hands-free setups.👍 Pros✅ Quiet operation—good for sleep or work✅ Smooth oscillation—wide coverage✅ Adjustable height—easy to position✅ 3-speed settings—decent airflow control✅ Sturdy base—no tipping or wobble👎 Cons❌ No remote or timer—manual only❌ Basic design—no digital display❌ Plastic build—feels light but not premium

Works great on even the low settingEasy to make upOnly gripe is that the screw hole is not perfectly central so the decal looks wonky once made upI thought I had 2 parts missing at first but these are on the units themselves so the instructions could do with updatingAbsolutely thrilled for the money and like the fact it oscillates - bought 2 one for downstairs and one for upstairs as so cheaply priced and very happy with the performance
