Tools and Hardware Reviews of Holmes Tower Fan HT38-U, Black
Customer Review: nice fan
Summary: 4 Stars
The fan works nice. It is very quiet and is easy to put together. I would only have wished that is was a little bit more solid. The plastic is thin and doesn't feel very strong I have only had for a week. So far so good.Customer Review: good for the price
Summary: 4 Stars
It does what is says it will do. Doesn't put out a wind storm but a breeze. Rotates well. Good for a small area.Customer Review: Decent for the Price
Summary: 3 Stars
I'm sort of surprised by a former reviewer's title of "Excellent Quality," as I think the quality is average (at best). I bought 2 of these as well as a Lasko 40-Inch Elite Wind Tower with Remote Control, and the Lasko's quality is FAR superior (granted, the Lasko is double the price). These Holmes fans ARE decent for the price though.
Pros:
Decent air volume/movement
Price
Not too noisy (again, keeping price in mind)
Cons:
Controls feel "cheap," and you have to really push the buttons in firmly to change a setting.
While the base seems reasonably stable, the fans are a bit wobbly at the oscillation joint.
Not trashing these by any stretch of the imagination, but average quality is a more realistic description.
June 2009 UPDATE - This fan was barely used (6 months), and when it was, it wasn't "handled" or moved. Then, it was in climate controlled storage for another 6 months. When I picked it up, the base simply fell apart - where the screw mount to the tower just snapped off. Completely unusable. Spend the extra $ on the Lasko.
Customer Review: Good, but not great -
Summary: 3 Stars
Operates nicely and pretty quietly, but air delivery is from 6" to 3 ft. above floor level. A tilt mechanism on the front of these fans would help a lot. If you're going to purchase a tower fan, get one that is at least 40" tall - they're more expensive, but worth it.Customer Review: Beware of this cheap fan!!! Manufacturing defect...
Summary: 2 Stars
I ordered this fan with an amazon gift card and later regretted it badly. The fan came in a cardboard box which was already opened. The fan had a manufacturing defect out of the box - the blades were out of their casing and the fan made a loud noise on the first run itself. Out of frustation, wanted to return this asap, but alas! the terms clearly state that this item cannot be returned to amazon.com but only to manufacturer and the shipping would probably cost more than the fan itself!! Beware and stay away from this piece of junk!
