Solid, quality fans
I purchased this at Costco earlier today and I have to say I'm impressed on several levels. It is evident that a lot of thought went into this product, from the packaging to the device itself. Unboxing and assembly was trivial--just screw the base onto the large fan (and you don't have to search for the screws, as they're already in place). A helpful note in the packaging suggests using the top foam cap to hold the fan upside-down as you attach the base, and this works well. The small fan requires no assembly. Both units are primarily black matte plastic, though the large one has a perforated metal intake grille.
Both fans feel solidly constructed, and the infrared remote (batteries included) even has an LCD display. You can select the various modes of operation by pressing the four buttons on the large fan or the remote--both have the same control scheme. There are four speeds, oscillation which covers approximately a 90 degree arc, timed auto shut-off, and a mode...
In my teenaged son's words---"This fan is awesome"
I put this fan in my teenaged son's room. He has a lot of gadgets and computer equipment in there so even with the AC and ceiling fan going full blast it was still uncomfortably hot. I tried regular circular fans but he complained that the wind blew all his papers away. Then I tried this Seville Tower Fan, and I was shocked when he gave me a big, tight hug and said the fan was awesome.
Likes:
✔ Oscillates smoothly and silently (no ticking sounds like in other fans).
✔ Pushes "cool" air. I was surprised that the fan sends out what feels like cold air. I guess with the tower shape the fan is able to pull in the cold air that settles near the floor and push it upwards toward the center of the room. Makes it feel like a mini AC unit.
✔ The "Eco" mode is almost silent, but the noise level increase slightly as the speed of the fan increases. I actually like the sound the highest level makes. Very soothing in a "white/ambient noise"...
"Which wind do you want?"
That's what my teenage daughter asked me last week when she was playing with this thing, which I got her for her upcoming freshman year in college. It's a little loud, but not with her music on! And like some of the other reviewers have mentioned, it has a nice selection of extras such as eco mode, a timer and a remote control. Decent value, too.
