Q: Why does this fan make a roaring noise

submitted by Ks - 9 years ago
  • A: This is not what you should expect from our fans. Please contact our consumer relations team by emailing us at SocialSupport@HelenofTroy.com and we will be happy to look into this. Thank you.

  • A: Sure wish I knew. It rumbles even on lowest setting

    submitted byMAH - 9 years ago
  • A: Mine makes a funny noise like it’s hitting against something every time it turns . very annoying . sometimes it’s fine. Sometimes it’s not.

    submitted byMoni jo - 1 year ago
  • A: That's strange - this is the quietest fan I've ever purchased. It's mostly used as white noise at night and the "Calm" setting is perfect and subtle. Even the strongest setting "Cool" doesn't make a roaring noise for me. I suggest taking it back for a new one as it seems like a faulty order.

Q: How efficient is this fan if you have no central air conditioning?

submitted by MP - 3 years ago
  • A: It's not going to cool a whole house/apartment. In a bed room with light bed sheets and minimal clothing you can survive the night.

    submitted byNoth - 1 year ago
  • A: What that's the purpose of these things to blow out cooler air not just be a fan to just blow hot hair around. It's supposed to put out cool air not work same as a fan correct ???

    submitted bySandra - 2 years ago
  • A: NO. A fan moves air; an air conditioner conditions (changes) the air.

    submitted byMsAdventure - 2 years ago
  • A: We appreciate your inquiry. This fan will circulate the air that is already in your room which will help you feel cooler, but it will not generate cooler air to lower the room's temperature. If you have any additional questions, please email us at SocialSupport@helenoftroy.com.

Q: Your reviews are extremely disappointing however the reviews are also dated. Can you update us? Will this product last? Is is reliable? The most recent comments are not flattering either. Judy

submitted by Judy - 8 years ago
  • A: Dont get this... it doesnt come apart so dust will build up and eventually it will just blow dirty air at you.

Q: How cold does it make a room?

submitted by King - 9 years ago
  • A: It blows out hot air. Just picked it up on Oct 1st yesterday. Not cooling at all :( I have a 9mo old and cannot sleep right now throughout the night because of the weather.

    submitted byRosa - 2 years ago
  • A: I use the fan in my husband's office and the fan along with the central air conditioning system keeps the room comfortable. This room is a small room that usually is much warmer then other rooms in our home, therefore, I keep the fan going all the time when the outside temperature is 100 or more. It works very well for us.

    submitted byKathy - 9 years ago
  • A: A.) We appreciate your interest in our product. This fan will recirculate the air in the room causing a breeze. It does not lower the temperature. We hope this is helpful. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us by emailing ConsumerRelations@kaz.com. Thank you.

submitted by Power fluctuates - 2 years ago

  • A: Very easy. You have the fan, and two base pieces. Connect the two base pieces like Lego, unscrew the large red twist at the bottom of the fan. Put the fan on top of the base. Feed the wire through the red twist and base. Screw the red twist into place.

Q: Is this tower fan water cooling?

submitted by Michelle - 6 years ago
  • A: No, this item is a simple fan. It circulates the existing air within the room, helping you to feel cooler, it does NOT cool the room. You might be thinking of a portable Air Conditioning/Evaporative Cooler Unit.

    submitted byMike - 6 years ago
  • A: Thank you for your inquiry. This is not a water cooling fan. This is a whole room tower fan. If you have any other questions please do not hesitate to contact our consumer relations team by emailing us at SocialSupport@helenoftroy.com. Thank you.

    Hope you get a good one!

    Purchased this fan in white twice. The first one went back because the oscillation stopped working after the first use. The second one is not totally quiet on the lowest setting - there seems to be a rattle in the motor. It goes away if I turn it up a notch. Just didn't feel like hauling another one back for an exchange. The fan is easy to use and move around, and a good fan if you get one that works well.

    I absolutely Love this product! My Niece had one which I had never seen before so I purchased 4 of them and they are all over my house. They are very quiet and send out cool air and don't take up much space at all. Made a major difference in my house. Would recommend this for anyone with limited space.

    Short working life

    This fan stopped working after just two years of normal use. Worked great for about a year and then in the past year barely works (I have cleaned and maintained the fan too). That's too short for a product that should last much longer. I expected better quality and durability, especially for the price.. Very disappointed with the reliability, and I wouldn't recommend it based on my experience.

    Attractive, Compact, Easily Assembled, Light Cooling Power, Squeaks!

    It is relatively easy to set up, and lightweight for moving from place to place, but it’s not a very powerful fan. The cord is also a bit short, and it squeaks as it oscillates. The featured functions all work, although the low force of air makes this less of a cooling fan for the entire room. It can help spread the cool air from an air conditioner but it cannot replace one on very hot days. Once the plastic stabilizer cap is screwed onto the lower base of the fan beneath the plastic stand that holds it, there is no getting it off, so taking the squeaky fan apart to oil it is out of the question. It is a space-saver in terms of its floor footprint, but can’t be far from an electric outlet without an extension cord.

    Not in Stock, wait for your money!

    Target is infamous with saying they have things in stock and don’t. They asked me to cancel the order or get it from another Target. Taking accountability off of them. I ordered it on the 3rd of July and it’s now the 10th of July and I’ve yet to receive ANY of my money back for the fan they had OUT OF STOCK. They’re no help stating if it’s not a Target card then they can’t help you. Which they ARE the merchant and are in control of finalizing the purchase. I’m just irritated that they take no accountability for their actions.

    We’re sorry to hear fan is out of stock and you have not received your refund yet. While we strive to ensure our products meet quality standards, we do not control Target's fulfillment or return processes, as they manage inventory and customer resolutions independently. We recommend reaching out to Target directly for assistance. We appreciate you bringing this to our attention.

    We're sorry to hear your experience. While we set the suggested retail price for our products, individual retailers determine and manage their own in‑store prices.Fans are designed to circulate existing air rather than actively cool it, we understand how that may differ from what you needed.
