" ... Product broke 3 months in ... "
" ... Used this fan in my shed and it completely melted our from within the shaft. ... "
" ... The internal parts that allow it to create the figure 8 pattern must be made of plastic parts which can't take the geometrical force created to keep making that pattern without failing as one of the two fans I purchased. ... "
" ... Oscillation broke after a week or so of use. ... "
" ... Oscillating mechanism broke within a few months and fan is not appropriate for humid conditions as the fan cage completly rusts within the first year. ... "

" ... If you want to use the stock cord, you'll have to mount it so that the top of the base is within 6' of an outlet. ... I just reused the cord that I had in place from the previous fan. ... Assembly and installation were very simple (aside from opening the back and connecting a different power cord, but that was my choice rather than using an extension cord). ... "
" ... Cord length is enough. ... "
" ... The cords are a good length. ... "
" ... They also raise the fan off the floor by about half an inch so you can run the cord underneath it if needed. ... "
" ... I appreciate the hanging cords for switching the speed and oscillation. ... "
" ... - cord is flexible (not grounded plug) and high quality ... "
" ... The pull cords are so nice because I mounted it about 8 ft up so there is no way I can reach the switches. ... "
" ... Either way simple controls, if you want to activate the oscillating function that is pull cord only. ... "
