What Customers Are Saying

The product offers powerful airflow and effective cooling, as well as providing soothing background noise. However, some customers have experienced issues with the fan's durability, reporting problems like noisy operation, mechanical failures, and the unit stopping working after a year or two of use. While the product's performance is generally praised, the lack of long-term reliability appears to be a significant concern.

Great product.

Would Recommend

[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I have been using this product since last 4 years and i again bought exactly the same product as the quality is excellent and also due to wear and tear i was getting squeaking noise after using it for few years and hence thought of change. Strongly recommend this product.

Takes a Good Kicking

Would Recommend

We've had this fan for a few years, its gone through kicks, people tripping over it, and hitting it and it still is like new. Blows very well, with very high speeds. We have bent the neck and it still swivels and works perfectly. couldn't ask for a better one!

Excellent for moving the air around.

Would Recommend

Have had Holmes Blizzard fans in my home for the last 10 years. Love them for sleeping. They move the air and are not whisper quiet. Just the way I like it. Only down side is, I wish they still carried the tall ones. My husband accidently knocked ours over and broke it. Had to order the desktop one, but still happy with it.

Windy

Would Recommend

I purchased this fan as a replacement for a much larger stand mounted osillating fan. It's a fraction of the size and easily moves twice as much air. It's a great product.

Great Fan But Noisy

Would Recommend

I have had this fan for over 10 years. Originally bought 2, but seem to have lost 1 with all the moves. This fan works great we even take it with us when we travel. It puts out a lot of air and with the three setting and oscillating features it works well especially here in Florida. I was glad someone had posted pictures on how to clean it, my husband usually uses his air compressor or leaf blower to blow out the dust and dog hair. I have been trying to find this fan in my local stores so I coul...

Prop plane

I bought this fan about a month ago as my new work fan. I thought the oscillating feature would be good feature to have, my old fan was stationary. I do enjoy the air flow, and the three speed setting. I rated this fan as fair two stars because it makes such a loud hummm like a prop plane and makes a strange vibrating noise weather it's oscillating or not. I'd return it for a quieter fan, if only I had my receipt.

Great fan very difficult to clean inside

Would Not Recommend

I love this fan. It packs a big punch for its's size. The only issue I have is the ease of cleaning. Almost impossible to remove the front to get the dust out. Very tiny screws were used making it almost impossible for the average person to remove the front. Easier cleaning would improve my rating. If you can't clean the fan it stops working so this is very important. Makes me wonder if the company wants me to just buy a new fan.......we will see if they respond.

Cool air but...

Would Not Recommend

I like how this fan actually generates cool air (as opposed to simply moving the stale air around like many of those vornados or circulators). However, there is a very high pitch whine that comes along with it. If you get headaches easily or are sensitive to piercing noises, this fan is not for you.

Own three Blizzard fans

Would Not Recommend

I bought these nearly two years ago. Two do not work anymore and the third is making noises, to the point I am afraid it will break down and cause a fire. I am disappointed in these fans, knowing that they only lasted two years.

Wonderful Fan

Would Recommend

I bought this about a year ago, sometimes I have to turn it off it blows so much air!! My husky loves it during the summer!! I've used it so much I needed to clean the blades of dust & of course Husky fur!! I've attached a photo of the 4 screws you need to remove from the back of the fan to clean the inside, pretty simple when you know where the screws are
