Genesis High Velocity 16 Inch DC Stand Fan with Super Silent Technology, and Remote

This fan is worth every penny. It has several modes, several speeds in each mode., oscillates, and the greatest thing.....it has a remote! Several things we like about this fan. In quiet mode, it is VERY quiet. In standard mode, it is still quieter than most fans in this class. It's not loud by any stretch.The fan height is perfect. From the floor to the top of the fan cage is 4'. The extension allows the fan to extend another 8". The fan measures 18" from right to left when measuring the cage that encloses the fan blade.The blade is a 5 propeller blade. The fan blade itself is clear plastic. This allows you to easily see through the fan. For instance, you could still watch TV if this fan was placed directly in front of you without much obstruction. Did I mention this fan is quiet. Wow.The fan does not require any tools to assemble and I had this unit assempled and operating within 10 minutes. The fan is well packaged and protected. I would be surprised if anything was damaged during shipping given the packaging used. Even with rough abuse, it would be difficult to break anything. The packaging is that good.The blue led light display is bright enough to see in the daytime and easy to read. The fan comes with directions on how to dim the led light ifdesired.The remote is very simple and easy to use. High marks for high quality and a fan that we're very happy with.

I bought this fan because I wanted a wide range of speeds from very low to very high. It certainly has some very low speeds that are whisper quiet, and while the highest speed does keep me cool on most hot summer days, I was expecting a little more wind from a fan that calls itself "High Velocity". I've had a few issues with the remote control. A couple of time the remote stopped working even when pointed directly in front of the sensor from 12 inches away; with a new battery. I had to pull out the battery and reinsert, and that seemed to reboot the remote. Also the speed control wheel on the remote doesn't always take until it's been rotated about 90 to 360 degrees, and then when it does kick in it changes speed a little too rapidly.Other than those issues, this is a very well built high quality and attractive fan that I am quite happy with.

The media could not be loaded. This Avalon High Velocity 16 Inch DC Stand Fan with Super Silent Technology, and Remote is powerful and very quite! We have a large training room that is difficult to keep cool in the hottest months of the year and have used fans in the past to keep the air moving, but most of them have been too loud to use during the classes. This fan is so quite that we can leave it running while the teacher is presenting!The fan took me about 5 or 10 minutes to assemble by myself, without needing any additional parts other than what was included. This is quite sturdy and moves a good bit of air on all of the settings. All of the modes and controls can be accessed via the control panel on the fan or via the included remote control. The remote is easy to figure out and can be attached to the included hook in the pole.While this has a silent mode, it is actually fairly quite in all of the modes and while using the oscillation.Highly Recommended!CFHNote: sample provided for unbiased evaluation and review

This is a great fan, nearly silent at speeds 1-6. 7-10 the sound is easily droned out by normal household sounds. 11-12 you can hear some wind noise, but the fan is really blowing hard at this point. Remote is line of sight and works well enough. I strongly recommend this fan and will likely purchase another.

It’s def pricey, need 8 level to closely match my old smaller metal 2001 desktop fan that was more powerful, quiet, with greater oscillation. This fan: Con: Tilt; This fan’s manual tilt is limited to 2 inches max, & can be tilted in 1 position; fairly delicate too bc it’s plastic. Oscillating degree: limited to 160 degrees; not 200 which really moves air in large room. Pros: It oscillates smooth & quietly @ under power 7. At level 8 it gets noisy but air moves better than all other new fans I bought. 9 & 10 are loud & higher pitched, so it’ll keep light sleeper awake, or become noise nuisance in quiet home office, but air will be blowing strong across a room, but not beyond 20 feet. There’s a turbo power that’s useless to me due to LOUD noise & entire fan vibrates; one must shout to be heard @ that level. Turbo is for short term use per manuf. Materials: Most of fan is fairly sturdy plastic. Some parts are covered metal. Control: If not using remote, pole has 3 smooth control buttons that beep loudly & light up whenever pressed: bottom button is for off/on; middle fan power; top for oscillating. It remembers last power setting = convenient. When off, Need light to see control buttons bc it’s as smooth as pole. Noise: Levels 1-6 are quiet but u need to be close to fan, 3 -4 ft away max, to feel air move. Assembly : not too complicated; time to assemble about 20 minutes. Pole has extra 2 ft extension if need higher fan, just screw it on. Height not adjustable by sliding. No clicking or odd noises yet in 1 month of light use. Space: need 2 1/2 feet area to place fan, stand is sturdy; fan cage is bit wide & deep , so taller being / pet / child can bump into it. Fan cage is Bigger than it needs to be & conspicuous. Con: cord is short, so u need close outlet.Conclusion: Of 5 recent fans purchases, this is BEST due to QUIETNESS & air movement. But this fan, like all other new fans I bought, fails to perform like my old 2001 no assembly small 12 inch powerful metal desktop quiet fan with press control buttons, better tilt, greater oscillation. Gripe; Travesty no corp makes long lasting metal fans with better blades & motors like my old one, or ANY long lasting products. Greedflation & tons of garbage from costly short term made items is last thing this overpolluted garbage saturated planet needs. Like me, many thousands reviewers in all sites desire resurrection of their old effective fans that lasted decades.
