One shopper exclaimed: "I was in two minds because of some negative reviews! Don't be fooled! This fan is absolutely superb! Very quiet, I actually find it soothing, it doesn't rattle, it doesn't smell.
"It doesn't do anything wrong; it's a 5 star off me, I love it, kids love it, we all love it. Absolute life saver in this heat. Can't wait for bed tonight."
Someone who called it "the perfect antidote to the heatwave" added: "Really like this tower-style oscillating fan.
"It has a sleek and classy design, turns beautifully, it's not too loud (obviously it's not silent but it won't mean you have to shout to anyone else in the room in normal conversation), and the timer function means you can't forget about it and leave it on for hours on end, running up your electric bill while you're out of the house."
Another delighted shopper wrote: "Works great! Ideal for the hot weather. It was a Godsend during the heatwave, I was so glad I put it in my bedroom at night."
Not everyone has been left impressed with the power and sound levels, as one three-star review read: "Good for space saving but too noisy for me to have in room and not powerful enough for the noise payoff!"
Although, more customers were happy with their purchase, as another said: "Excellent fan, really makes a difference in the mini heatwave we recently had and cooled the area down. Very effective even on the lowest setting."
While someone else praised: "This has been very helpful in the London summers/ heatwaves. Works well. Noise level is low. Occupies less space. Price is also reasonable. Highly recommended. Thank you."
