This was our first time replacing our filter. We have a aprilaire 2410 model, and were to go with the 410 filter. I ordered the 413 because I couldn't find the 410, and it's a perfect fit. It's not 6", it's 4". I'm glad I decided to try it. And the service is incredible! I ordered it on the 7th, and received it on the 9th. Great service!!

Great replacement!!! Much cheaper than serviceman, and still cheaper than local home improvement stores. Buy a couple at a time if you have pets, that way you never run out.

This was the first time we replaced the dust filter in our Aprilaire. The original filter was a #410, the box this filter came in makes it sound like the 413 is a batter filter, and we didn't even realize it. So we were happy to see that. We were happy with the deal that we got and would buy from this seller again.

Honest reviews on Aprilaire 413 Filter Replacement

Filter arrived in 3 days.

It was a genuine Aprilaire part, not a knock-off.

It fit into my Aprilaire Model 2410 furnace filter.

It was $21 less than the MSRP.

Now that I know it fits, next time I'll order the 2-pack.

Great deal.

Cheap Intermatic FD30MWC 30-Minute Spring Loaded Wall Timer, White

Customer Ratings:

This Tunisian (yes, it's made in Tunisia) wall timer does exactly what it's supposed to do...keep an electric device on for a certain period of time. Installation was fairly easy, though the way the wires connect is a little odd. Despite its appearance, this particular model is designed to be used with a switchplate with an opening for a standard light switch (the ones that are roughly 1/2" wide X 1" high). The white cover with the timer marks on it sits on top of the light switch plate and is held on with a nut.

The unit seems pretty well constructed and doesn't feel flimsy. I've had good luck with Intermatic products in the past, and have some confidence that this unit will last a while.

It works very well but unlike other brand I got in the past this one will not manually unwind to stop. You must wait for the full time to run out!

We live in a townhome with 2 full and 2 half-baths. Although there are vent fans in each bathroom, there were no timers on

any of them. My husband bought 4 of these timers and installed one in each bathroom. They were easy to install --in fact, he

let me do two of them under his supervision. They work well and now we don't have to remember to come back and turn off

the fans--just set for the minutes you choose and walk away. Good product --good price.

Honest reviews on Intermatic FD30MWC 30-Minute Spring Loaded Wall Timer, White

We have had one for 7 years in our old house bathroom fan, used many times per day. We just put 4 timers in our new house, and they all are working great.

Nobody seems to want to just leave a bathroom fan on when they leave, but it is easy to dial this in so it runs for a bit then turns itself off later. Seattle is almost always damp, so you want to lessen the effects of moisture whenever you can. We do at least 30 mins after a shower (and sometimes come back and dial in another 10 or 15 mins). When using the commode or just brushing teeth, we dial it in to pull out moisture if not something more odious. Every bathroom fan everywhere should have a timer.

I know there are digital electronic ones available, but I like the action of these. Easy to operate in the dark, or if you want to reach in and give it twist on quickly without looking.

Set it on and go away to work, play, whatever knowing that the fan will only run long enough to purge moist or stale air from your bathroom, then stop to save energy. Good to dry out bathroom to prevent mold. Built strong. I buy one for everyplace I live and have used them for years.

The heater worked fine for a couple of years, then the power switch melted. I replaced the power switch with one having a higher current rating (30A vice 20A) and after a few weeks the unit began to emit a burning electrical smell. I disassembled it and found the Diode Assembly MELTED! A search on the net revealed that this is a common problem. Fahrenheat knows about the problem and even has a repair kit (DB Kit) for $36. The diode alone cost $10, plus $10 shipping. This is a $3 part if you know the specs.

If you buy one of these be aware of the potential DANGEROUS failures. I don't know how UL ever passed this product. It could be a fire hazard. If you don't believe me GOOGLE "Fahrenheat LFP6152 Diode." The fact that Fahrenheat knows about this problem to the point of developing an overpriced repair kit, and doesn't make it right, is inexcusable. I'll never buy another Fahrenheat product.

We use these heaters as a source of energy efficient heating for over 4 years now at our inn. They have an adjustable feature that supplies electricity to the silicone filled element to produce heat and then cut off the power when the silicone fluid gets hot. This feature saves energy. We also benefit from only heating those areas we want to keep warm by using zone versus central heat.

We bought them to reduce our usage of the central propane hot air furnace and have saved money by only heating areas needed and reducing propane usage.

They also help keep our yurts comfortable in the winter.

Honest reviews on Fahrenheat Portable Electric Hydronic Heater, Model# Lfp6152

It works, but does do some strange clicking/banging sounds some times. Also, it switches from 750W to 1500W automatically so that it might blow the fuses in your space depending on what else you have plugged (such as another heater for another window). I would rate it 5 stars if they was a switch to control the 750W/1500W power.

The Farenheat Hydronic heater is an excellent area heater with no moving parts. The hydronic fluid in the heater core is very efficient using natural air convection. This is the large model, with two power levels (750 & 1500 W) automatically selected by the "Smartstat" thermostat, and has a length of 58" along the baseboard (where we use it).

The unit was shipped from an Amazon dealer, and it did arrive damaged in shipment, with one of the legs broken. I chose to repair the leg rather than return it and reorder another one. It took two weeks to get the unit after ordering.

Reviews of Homebasix Milkhouse Utility Heater NH500

Customer Ratings:

The first review I gave for the Homebasix Milkhouse heater was a good review. However, now that I have owned two of them for awhile, I have had to revise my opinion downward. The first heater arrived in great condition and worked great for awhile but after a few months, the thermostat began to stick, the heater would stay on and not turn off until I manually turned the knob. The second heater arrived somewhat beat up because the heater box itself was not packed into another box. This second heater has never been reliable because the thermostat would completely fail and and the heater would not come on at all. The heaters were so inexpensive that I just dumped both of them. When they work, they put out good heat but when they don't work, they either overheat or don't heat at all. I hope no one bought this heater based on my former review. So, I'm still looking for a reliable milkhouse heater like the old ones they made 20 years ago.

There were several heaters of differing price ranges that I looked at but I chose this for the price and the basic features and am very happy with it. It is a simple heater with simple safety features, and it is solidly constructed and very quiet when operating. It is much quieter than other milkhouse heaters I have seen and it also has a fan setting that just blows cool air, which is perfect for my office because sometimes I just need some air circulating and sometimes I need to warm up the office. The tipover safety feature works well (I only tested it to see if it works) but I guess it also turns off when it gets too hot. I like it and it does everything I need.

Reviews of SEI Narita Media Console with Electric Fireplace

Customer Ratings:

First off, I would like to point out that I shopped both online and in stores for an electric fireplace for months. When I finally decided on this one, I still thought hard about it for weeks before I actually placed my order. This is the first time that I have ever ordered furniture online and I was very nervous about not seeing the product before making my purchase, but the other reviews had me convinced and the price was unbeatable anywhere else I looked (including Big Lots). So I ordered it, and I have had it three months now.

Shipping:

My new media console and fireplace arrived at my house (in Indiana) only a few days after I placed my order. It arrived in two very large, very heavy packages. One package contained the materials for the console itself and the other, which had "FRAGILE" written in large letters across it was the electric fireplace. There are many different pieces to the cabinet itself, so I recommend doing what I did which was opening the box somewhere with plenty of room, and laying out each piece to ensure that everything had been included (and to ensure that nothing had been damaged). Everything that was supposed to be included was there and intact.

Assembly:

Obviously, the console itself has to be assembled. The assembly wasn't difficult (as I am a 25 year old woman who did it by myself), but it is time consuming, taking about three hours to complete (although I took my time). The hardware didn't seem cheap to me and every major piece is fit with several wood dowels to help guide the pieces together perfectly. I STRONGLY RECOMMEND FOLLOWING THE INSTRUCTIONS TO THE LETTER AND TAKING YOUR TIME!!! The pieces are designed to go together in a very specific order and once they have been locked together, it is almost impossible to take them apart again. This means that if you forget a step, you could be in big trouble. The instructions aren't super descriptive so read a couple of times to make sure you understand what you are doing. There is an optional support piece that is supposed to go in the middle of the shelf to help prevent the top piece from bowing if you have a somewhat heavy tv. I would recommend putting it in during assembly if you have a tv any larger than about 36 inches as I have already seen one review where the person didn't use the support piece, and his did bow under the weight of his tv. Once it was completed, I was however pleasantly surprised by how sturdy the unit was once it was constructed.

Product Review:

I did want to mention that the firebox itself isn't as deep as the cabinet is. This makes for a nice place in the back of the unit to put your power strip for all of your electronics so that you can place the cabinet flush against the wall without leaving an unsightly gap between the unit and the wall. It was a pleasant surprise. As I mentioned before, most of the main pieces of the unit are real stained wood and those that are not are still stained well to match the real wood pieces. Occasionally I go over the entertainment stand with wood polish, which brings out the nice espresso color in the wood. The unit itself is a beautiful, uniform color and is very sturdy considering that it was assembled. I love the cabinet space and width of the unit.

If you want a fireplace that looks like real fire, get a real fireplace. I spent a lot of time looking at these when I was shopping around and contrary to a couple of the reviews, I think the fire looks better than many of the electric fireplaces that I have seen (including several nice hotels that I have stayed at). I'm sure that they do make more realistic electric fireplaces, but you won't find any around this price, I've looked. The fire consists of varying shades of yellow and orange, but to me, the movement of the flames is about as as realistic as any I've seen. The brightness of the logs can be adjusted as well as the brightness/level of the fire, which is nice when you want the fire to seem low or when you are trying to watch a movie on the tv and you don't want the brightness of the fireplace to be distracting. I have a fairly small living room, so I can feel the heat from the heater on the couch when it is at medium setting, but I could see where it probably wouldn't heat a larger room by itself. In my case however, the space heater in the unit adds a nice warmth to the room (sometimes too warm). The remote control allows you to change the brightness of the logs and the fire, and to turn the heater off or on, but the thermostat for the heater must be adjusted on the firebox itself.

After three months of having this product, I must say that I am in love with it. With all of the features, I really feel like I got lots of "bang for the buck". It adds a very welcoming glow and warmth to my living room and I get compliments on it every time I have company. For the price, definitely five stars.

I really like this piece. The unit is very solid and a beautiful finish on the wood. The instructions were very good and was easy to assemble without a hitch. I love the glass doors on cabinet to keep video games, movies and Wii dust free! BTW my cable modem and router fit nicely laying flat on open shelf with DVR

The only con I have is the flame is only amber. I could not really tell it was amber only in the picture. Come on guys...couldn't you have put a little red in there to mix up the colors?! It is obvious it is not a real flame...which is what I want...but the amber only color makes it a little less comfy when lit.

With the Amazon price with free shipping I saved over $150 over Target and Walmart online plus I got Amazon free shipping!

The console arrived in two boxes. One (console)weighing in at 98lbs., and the second (fire box) weighing in at 38lbs. The console arrived completely in pieces with all screws and parts necessary to put it together. The instructions I would not rate for a beginner as they are not well displayed. It took six hours to put the console together but everything was there and the wood was not fiber board stuff you commonly find at IKEA. Once put together it is a very solid piece of furniture, but I was concerned when I saw the IKEA type screws to hold certain sections of the wood together. The firebox is all one piece and slides in to the finished assembled console with a wood block and screws to keep it in place. I found this to still keep the firebox loose and added two small wood screws up against the back of the firebox to help keep it more snug. Once it was all setup with my television components I plugged in the fireplace and turned it on. The heat unit works great and will nicely supplement the heat in the winter for this one bedroom apartment in Portland, Oregon. The flame and log functions all work great although I was disappointed that the logs didn't better resemble more red coals burning around the logs with instead being the same colors as the flame (yellow/orange). It was not worth taking the whole thing apart to send it back, but a better close-up picture of the flame and logs would be great for future purchasers. Overall I am pleased with the size and dimensions of this console/fireplace. However, next time I pay this kind of price for something like this I will buy one assembled and working before I make the purchase. I give this product a four star rating because of the wood, glass in the doors, and the solid construction after it was assembled.

Honest reviews on SEI Narita Media Console with Electric Fireplace

We received this yesterday and put it together in a few hours. I expected the quality to be a bit better for the price, but all the same it looks great. We had looked at the Espresso model but opted for this lighter color so glad we did. Some reviewers on the espresso model stated that they were unhappy with the flame because there wasn't enough color variation, but we are very happy with it. We have wanted an electric fireplace for a long time, since we can't have the real thing. This would probably warm up our bedroom if it were in that room with the door closed, but we have this in our living room near a stairway and kitchen so we didn't notice a big difference in the overall warmth of the room. However, we have only had it for one day. Standing in front of it with the heat on high, it definitely puts out good heat though so we'll see after extended use how that goes. Would definitely recommend

If you have seen fireboxes in stores and thought they looked good, dont buy this one. The firebox is no where near what you will see in stores. This is not a good Dimplex type firebox that you might get otherwise. It looks terrible. The logs look bad, doesnt resemble a fire much at all, you dont see flames, just weird glowing light. The dimplex insert is soo much nicer and this is not that. The furniture part is nice, but the firebox is horrible. Also the motor in the firebox makes a loud annoying sound and causes vibrations in the unit. Not Recommended.

Cheap 51.5" Folding Screen

Customer Ratings:

I ordered this item because it was lauded as better and heavier duty than others on Amazon that look very similar. It was more than twice the price. When it came, it had come apart in the box and we almost threw away small parts. We found them and my husband put it back together, but it keeps coming apart and now we've lost a screw that is what holds one of the sides on, because it was black and tiny and got swept up with the ashes. It's much lighter than I expected and my husband is going to have to spend considerable time figuring out how to repair it in some way that it will stay together. I would NOT recommend this product. I also ordered several other Minuteman Int. items and have been disappointed with them as well. They're lightweight and cheap--but cost more than most other brands. It came with a bright gold "Made in China" sticker. It lived up to the stereotype of cheap imitation crap. Sorry for the language, but it's a fact. I know that some quality products are imported from China, but this one is one of the reasons for the negative stereotype.

Review of Lifesmart 1500W Infrared Heater

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $400.00
Sale Price: $138.00
Today's Bonus: 66% Off

This Infrared Heater works very well in my 1300 sq ft. home. So far it has gotten down to the mid's 30's and I can heat my whole house with this unit and keep it around 74 degrees even the back bedrooms! I don't even use my new heat pump anymore but I still keep it set to 69 degrees. Another reason why this works so well in my home is because 7 months ago I had insulation blown in my attic and 2 years ago I had new windows put in. The insulation made a huge difference in saving money and holding heat longer in the house. I have all tile floors throughout my home. By having tile floors it will make your home colder so by having carpet this unit would work even better. When I put the unit in my living room and turn it on, it only takes about 5-6 minutes (during the day/ set on high) for it to raise the temp by 1 degree. The unit cycles on and off correctly even at night. For me, there is usally a 1 degree difference between the temp reading on my heat pump (thermostate placed in hallway) compared to the infrared heater placed in my living room. I am more than pleased about this unit. I was amazed how small the infrared heater was but yet it heated up a lot of living space.

This infrared heater will heat up to 1500 sq ft. easy as long as you have good insulation in your home. The most compliants that I have heard about this unit is that it will not heat a garage. Duh! Just about all garages doesn't have or very little insulation. So if your home has poor insulation then don't expect much from this unit or any other unit.

I actually bought mine from TigerDirect because the price was $159-179.99 but TD has been selling them like crazy and has been sold out a lot too. I'm happy that I was able to get one before December month started. My family is also looking to buy a infrared heater and I am going to recommend this one to them. Mine works so well that I am thinking about buy another one so that I can control the heat better.

This Infrared Heater needs 15amps to power it. I can plug it into my living room outlet and everything is fine but I plugged the unit into my hallway outlet which it connected to 2 of my bedrooms and the lights dimmed. 1 of those rooms I have my gaming PC/ 2 LCD monitors with my LCD TV, Surround Sound Theater, and PS3 all running the same time. So if your lights dimms then change the unit to a different outlet. Do Not continually run the Infrared Heater off that outlet because you are pulling too many amps and the electrical wiring is heating up and if your breaker doesn't trip then it can catch fire and burn your house down. Run the unit first during the day to make sure everything is fine before you run it at night while you are asleep. This Infrared Heater is very safe to use but you still have to use some common sense with it.

Lasko Oscillating Ceramic Tower Heater Reviews

Customer Ratings:

Over the years, I've had all kinds of small heaters, both forced air and ceramic. This one takes the cake.

Like most other heaters of this price range, the thermostat doesn't work consistently all of the time, but it works as well or better than any other heater I've used.

What makes this heater great is that it really cranks out the heat! The low setting is great for a small room like a bathroom, and the high setting can bring up the temperature of my large living room in a very short time. I'm really impressed with its heating abilities.

It isn't silent, but it's as quiet as anything else out there. If I turn it on while watching TV, I might have to turn up the volume one or two clicks, but that's it. I doubt it would be prohibitive to sleeping, if you want it in your bedroom.

The oscillation isn't something I've used a whole lot, but eyeballing it, I'd say it rotates somewhere between 45 and 60 degrees.

I've had this Lasko heater for 2+ years and it has worked like a charm... reliable, durable, a little soldier churning out heat. Controls are easy to use and there is a fan only setting for hot days. I keep it near me so the heat output is fine (not trying to heat up the entire room).

What I don't like about it though (and hence my 3 star rating) is the noise from the fan --it's soooo loud; too loud to have in my office when I'm on the phone, and too loud in the room when the tv is on. If you want white noise when you fall asleep, this is the fan for you. But I'm looking for a new QUIET heater to replace this unit.

Best Deals on Lasko Oscillating Ceramic Tower Heater

I did a lot of research online and got a Honeywell ceramic heater from Target. I wasn't happy with it and took it back.

Then I got this one, the Lasko oscillating ceramic heater. I guess I will keep it, but not because it's super great; I just don't expect that I could find anything better.

I like that it has two settings (low = 875 W, high = 1500 W), because my apartment wiring is not great and it worries me when it switches on and all the lights dim. Since I'm just using it to supplement a flaky hot water radiator, I don't usually need to run it on high. I've been running it for about 3 weeks, on low, using about 130 W on average. I just set it on low and use the thermostat to try to keep the temperature in the room stable.

The thermostat, though, is rather schizophrenic. I guess this is a problem with all of these little electric heaters, though, since the Honeywell I returned was even worse. I want this heater to just sit in the corner and turn on when needed to keep the temperature in the room constant, since my main heater varies too much in temperature, but I find myself adjusting the thermostat back and forth pretty regularly because it doesn't behave consistently from one day to the next. The settings are different for high and low mode, too, presumably since it heats up its own thermostat and shuts off prematurely.

In low mode (1), I have it almost to the lowest setting to get the room to stay at 65-70 F. I often find it turning on when the room is already warm, and not turning on when the room is cold. In high mode (2), I have to turn it up towards the top to maintain the same temperature. I am sure they could have compensated for any self-heating effects and made the thermostat more accurate no matter what the circumstances, but they didn't bother.

It doesn't have any kind of tip-over safety switch, but the other ceramic heater didn't either. Maybe it's not as critical with these because the outside surface doesn't get too hot. I can actually touch most of the surface of the front grill while it's on high and not get burned. It has an overheat protection switch, which would probably trigger if it fell onto something that blocked the flow of air, but I've never seen it activate.

I don't find it terribly loud, but I have a jet engine of a humidifier in the same room (Holmes garbage), so maybe I'm biased.

It also has a (20 W) fan-only mode, which could theoretically make the unit useful in warmer weather, too. The fan is apparently hard-wired to the thermostat in every mode, though. You might think that a thermostat-controlled fan is a good thing, and I would too, except that the fan is stupidly connected with the same functionality as in the heater modes, so the fan turns ON when the room is cold, and turns OFF when the room is hot. Duh.

Oh, it also oscillates. I care so little about this feature I almost forgot it had it. It seems to circulate air just fine whether this is on or off. I'd be happier if they left out the oscillation and spent the money on better temperature regulation. It might be even better if the thermostat could switch it from low to high when needed.

Honest reviews on Lasko Oscillating Ceramic Tower Heater

I have only had this for a few weeks so I can't vouch for its long-term durability. But this heater is designed very nicely. It looks and feels of good quality materials. Other positives:

* soft quiet sound very easy to sleep with

* elegant and practical handle

* oscillates to spread the heat around a little (cute little R2D2)

* small footprint but stable

I use the heater in a 10 x 10 room. I haven't set the thermostat dial above 3 out of 10, even when it's been 10 F. outside. I usually keep it in low power mode. But I'm not very demanding that way so if you need a really strong fan blowing high heat or if you prefer the direct warm feeling of glowing radiant heat you might not be satisfied.

Shortly before getting this "Lasko Oscillating Ceramic Heater" I had tried and returned two unsatisfactory heaters. One was a poor quality $20 heater ("DeLonghi DFH132"). The other, which I bought at WalMart for around $34, was one of those old radiant heaters (a couple of feet long with wires strung back and forth) which was unacceptably loud.

Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Lasko Oscillating Ceramic Tower Heater

I purchased this Lasko ceramic heater (model 5429) at Target after reading all the rave reviews that people wrote. I was not disappointed in my decision to buy this particular heater. I honestly can't find anything to complain about. It works very well, I especially like the oscillating action, and find that the heat gets more evenly distributed throughout the room because of it. People that don't like the oscillating feature can just not turn it on, at least you have a choice.

As far as noise level, I don't find that it's any noisier than any other heater I've ever used, in fact it's probably quieter than most. I am extremely pleased with this small but mighty little heater. The last test for me will be when I receive my electric bill. To heat my small livingroom to a comfortable temperature, I put the control on the low setting. I find that works just fine, without using the higher (1500 watt), more costlier heat setting. And because the heater works so well, I only have to put it on the third notch temperature setting, to get the results I need. Also the instruction manual is so simple, you don't need an engineering degree to understand it.

I would highly recommend this mighty little heater. The cost is fairly cheap, but the quality is outstanding. You don't see that very often.

Vornado 153 Tower Circulator - 32" Upright Fan (Black) Review

Customer Ratings:
List Price: $119.99
Sale Price: $92.89
Today's Bonus: 23% Off

By placing the fan near a wall and around 20' away, the air volume and dispersion is impressive. It really beats an oscillating fan given that the airflow is constant. We own another oscillating tower-style fan, and the Vornado blows it away! We opted for the smaller Vornado unit, and can't see any need for the larger one given this unit's performance. On the high setting the noise level is substantial, but this is only used to quickly ventilate the area before reducing the speed. Medium is much quieter and low is nearly silent. The remote is nice looking, fits well in the hand, and the signal is strong enough to reach the receiver at approximately 20'. The Vornado tower circulator is a solid design that really works well.

Update 7/7/2011 Still loving this fan, will be purchasing another soon.

Update 8/26/11 Still waiting for my other (old) fans to die to justify ordering more of these Vornado towers. Ours is still working great and is in use 10-12 hours daily.

-I was a bit nervous on the purchase of this fan when reading how some people said it makes a noise "that sounds like ball bearings going out" ... I will admit I was a bit sold simply on the looks. Ehh, I'm a visual man. Anyhow, upon receipt of the package, I put it together and quickly noticed this noise. Saddened initially, but without losing hope I pushed on it, shook it a little, then found myself a screw driver. Yes. Tightened every screw I could find on it. (about 6-8) and it hasn't made the noise again. I would say each screw was maybe a quarter to a half a turn loose. I think this is what was wrong with the other fans people complained about.

-Secondly, some said the lowest setting was hardly useful..well my friend I tell you this; I can stand on the other side of the room probably 20ft and the breeze is very apparent..oh well. Some people are very hard to please. The highest setting is comparable to your typical oscillating fan on high as far as noise, but I feel like this move more air. And the middle setting is what you would expect.. somewhere between silent and loud.

-And I think the remote is useless. Get up and turn it to the setting you want, probably burn a calorie or two doing so. :)

Great purchase and I would buy it again!

After a week or so of owning this thing I had to return it. The aesthetic is nice, but thats about it. The fan has 3 speeds: Jet engine, Turbo, and Aquarium pump. Let me explain. The highest speed is ridiculously loud and I can't imagine being suitable for any application other than a garage or workshop. The medium setting isn't too bad and pushes a decent amount of air, but still rather noisy for a normal quiet environment. Then the lowest speed is a joke. Rather than hearing air noise, you hear the drone/hum of a seemingly underpowered electric motor. And it kind of buzzes too on the lowest setting. It hardly pushes any air at all either so I don't know why that was even a consideration as a speed. So on a scale of 1-10, 10 being the fastest, I'd say the three speeds you get here are a 10, 7, and 1. There just isn't any balance.

I ended up purchasing the Honeywell QuietSet HY-108. I LOVE this thing. It has 8 speeds so you can get it just right. And they are all very quiet too, except for the air noise that you would expect on the higher settings. And it oscillates, which I like even better than Vornado's concept of a stationary fan with air shooting out in all directions.

Well, I just wrote a review of a fan. Now its time to go evaluate where I am at with my life.

Grrrrrrrrrrrrrreat fan!! The ONLY thing that gets a big minus is the so-called magnet in the remote control. It BARELY does anything at all. Otherwise the entire fan is awesome.

I was hesitant to buy this product after reading so many reviews about the humming sound on the lowest setting. Then I saw one that suggested tightening the screws. So I bought it, and as it turned out mine made a pretty annoying humming sound on the lowest setting (the hum was louder than the fan noise). I was disappointed. Then I pressed down gently on the unit with my hands, and the sound disappeared. So I determined that the hum sound had to do with external factors, probably vibrations caused by all the screws not being tight enough (like the other reviewer said). So I got my screwdriver, tightened all the screw, and BAM hum sound gone. It is basically silent on the lowest setting now, and works perfectly.
