Digital Screen Oscillating Tower Fan with Remote Control, Dark Gray, 42-Inch

Well so far so good. Just got it and tested it out. In my room, the temperature goes up to 80+ degrees in summer time. This one, with the help of another window double fans, seems to circulate the air. Except it does and does not do certain things:Pros:1. Tall tower provides more air per unit of area compared to small round fans.2. More air flow means lower settings works just as good as high setting of a round fan. This reduce noise to some extent.3. Elegant design and not an eyesore.4. Light in construction for mobility.5. Saves a lot of space in room as it can sit in a corner.6. Oscillation works fine...so far.7. Has a temperature readout (it's NOT a thermostat).Cons:1. You can NEVER have silent fans. This is not a Noctua SP fan that is designed to run fast but reduce sound for PC. This is simply a fan that blows air. The air needs to be circulated by fans and those fans will always make sounds. If these tower fans were to be made with the quality of a Noctua fan (which is, mind you, built for PC), I'm sure the price would've been close to $300-500! Don't expect silence from any fan. However you should expect low noise and this fan is somewhat low on noise when running in low fan speed.2 A bit wobbly. This is by design as the unit stands on a small base that is placed on a small plastic disk held by 4 screws. It is not that wobbly that it would tip over but assuming there is strong wind blowing on it from other fans or sources, it will wobble a bit. The center of mass is higher is the reason for this. Without external impact, the fan is very stable on its own.3. The remote needs DIRECT aim on the top of the fan's display to work. This is not a big deal if you can' reach the fan easily. Generally, for such product remote is not a big deal. I mean you can turn it on and off like you would turn on and off your room's light. No big of a deal!4. Would have been better if you could turn off the display. At night time it's quite bright; but it's not a serious issue that would hinder your sleep, assuming you are used to small amount of light.I would like to add one more fact regarding fans like these. These are not AC. They will not cool air down. It depends on many factors such as humidity in air, overall temperature, how fast the fan is running, if ambient heat is dissipated properly in your room, your room's size, air circulation in your room, and so on.So if you find that the fan is blowing 'cold' air and you already have an AC running at low setting, don't blame the fan for not giving cold air otherwise! Your AC is cooling the air down and the fan is blowing the already cold air on you! Kinda simple but seeing how so many just said, "OH this blows cold air" or "Keeps my room cold"...yeah, I doubt it that it's just the fan alone that is at work and obviously many of them are running AC at low setting with the fan.Overall, this is a fantastic fan. Get it when it's on sale and you won't be disappointed about the price and the quality of the product you are getting for the money you paid. Also I think thanks to the constant problem people having with missing screws, it comes with a WARNING paper which tells you about the parts being in the box! Mine came with all the screws and they were all well packaged.

I have purchased two of these fans, the first in 2014 and the second in 2024. The 2014 fan has a color display and it works as well today as when I purchased it in 2014. The second has a monochrome display and, other than that, the same features as the original. The fans are quiet and they move air well, cooling the room efficiently. Highly recommended!

Purchased 9-1-2015My order and delivery were excellent.You have to assemble the base to the tower. Requires a Phillip's screw driver. Very simple.The fan is tall but has small footprint on the floor.The fan has 3 speeds, oscillates, variable speed setting labeled "nature", and "sleep" mode.The lowest fan speed could be lower still in my opinion.The upright fan design shapes the moving air vertically, and easily moves air around the boundariesof a 12 x 18 ft. room even on low speed. The moving air seems to be more cohesive than air from a window fan.While operating in oscillating mode, fan covers an 80 degree angle and will cover entire room.Speed of oscillation is adjustable.The fan has off and on switch, plus 12 hour timer.The fan noise is lower than a 20" window fan.On high speed this fan moves air better than a ceiling fan and is just as quiet or quieter.The fan has a remote control and a pleasant multi colored digital display which responds to the remote.Parts are lightweight plastic. Unit could be fragile. Unit is easy to carry and move.Remote uses 2 AAA batteries. Batteries were included.No service life info at this time.

We have two of the Ozeri Ultra 42 and this is exactly like the Ozeri Ultra 42. However, I wasn't quite happy that it took a lot more effort to put the Pro Arctic base together. The two base parts (halves) weren't "cooperating" but with some patience and effort, I made it through putting it together without breaking the plastic base. One screw in the bottom of the base wasn't rotating as easily as the other three were, so that was another fluke but nothing that compromised this unit when I got it standing.The instruction book was pretty sad. It has tiny print and you better not expect detailed, step by step assembly explanation with pictures of the base parts. However, putting the base and stand together is almost self explanatory so the only part I didn't care for was the amount of effort it took to put the base (bottom part) together.As in the Ozeri, I feel both manufacturers do a poor job in providing us with sturdier base for these tower fans. Also, I simply don't understand why they don't make a bottom cover for the base. This would make these bases so much more leveled and therefore, stable.I truly dislike the colorful Arctic-Pro logo in the front of this tower fan. The Ozeri logo is much more tastefully done, in all thin, cursive black letters. But let's go to functionality: we've only had it for 5 days and it's been in use for 3 days now. So far so good. It's in our masterbedroom, where we have one Ozeri Ultra unit on the other end of the room.NOISE: Both fans yield pretty much the same amount of noise. It's not as quiet in max speed - I'll call it "level 3 speed - as it is in level 1 and 2 speed. I am highly sensitive to noises overnight and have hard time sleeping with any noise. I lower the speed to level 2 in these tower fans and have had no trouble sleeping whatsoever. I have slept with it in max speed but overtime, the noise in max speed ends up bothering me...so I just keep it in speed 2, which provides plenty air output and is extremely quiet.AIR OUTPUT and RANGE: The air output seems to be the same as the Ozeri. I personally feel it does a great job reaching and therefore, cooling down a nice size area.OSCILLATION: I actually think the Arctic-Pro provides a bit larger angle in the oscillation range than the Ozeri...I'll try to measure it and will update this review in the near future.All in all, I'm pretty happy with this purchase and recommend this tower fan but it's too early to say whether this is a fan that will stand the test of time so again, I'll try to update this review in the future. I love the Ozeri units so if this proves to be just as good and durable, I'll be glad to add that 5th star...that deduction was for the effort it took to put the base together, the poor instruction book, and the ugly logo on the front. It wasn't about functionality...so far, it's working just as well as the Ozeri Ultra 42!Price: this cost about $15 to $20 less than the Ozeri Ultra 42 so the price difference isn't great...I just hope I don't live to regret buying this just to save a few dollars. So far, this is proving to be as good as the Ozeri Ultra 42 tower fan, which we love. Let's hope this will be true a few years from now...Like the Ozeri, this unit comes with a remote control and two AAA batteries for the mote. The power cord is long enough for me...sorry I didn't measure that...By the way, the thermostat in the display is only to show the approximate room temperature. This isn't an air conditioner...it's just a fan! But I love the display and the fact that it has different "breeze" options and a timer!!! One of these days, they'll come up with a fan that has wifi and can play our iTunes music...lol...until then, I think this and the Ozeri Ultra 42 are excellent and fairly quiet tower fans.UPDATE: Still working as in day 1! I recommend this fan.
