Signature 9” 2 Speed Desk Fan with Oscillation, Adjustable Tilt, Black, S40008B

Very good fan

If I could give this item 0 stars, I would. Seriously, do not waste your money, these are the worst fans I’ve ever bought. I optimistically bought 3, I’ve had to return all 3. One had nowhere near enough power to actually blow barely any air out, at all, and its buttons were not working properly so turning it back off was a pain. One was seriously over heating after 1min use and was making the worst high pitched squeaking noise you could imagine. One actually seemed ok, and we didn’t think we were going to have to return it..until it had been on for 30mins, and then it too was overheating and even worse, the blade fell off entirely while the fan was on and the fan’s cage had to be taken apart to put the blade back on. Absolutely trash.

Good air flow and last long

You get what you pay for, I read the reviews here and was worried about the noise levels and lack of airflow, It had the same issues also the over heating. As there were no instructions manuals I had to look at the parts that came with the pack. The blade seems to no fit the spinning spigot properly and there is a lot of heat build up because the blade is not spinning in sync with the spigot, There is a little spring like coil in the accessories bag, that needs to be fitted at the back of the blade (with pressure) before the blade is inserted (Hard Press Fit) to the spigot, if that blade goes in easily the fit is too loose and you will get the heat, reduce flow and noise. Law and behold the airflow increased and the rattling noise completely went away. The blade should be spinning in sync and the fit needs to be tight by means of the little coil to ensure no slippage of the blade, not the strongest fan but it is a two speed. Sufficient for the value in my opinion. I did a before and after, Noise and flow changed after fitting it correctly, instructions manuals would have been fantastic.

Great value. Works great and looks good too. Quiet.

Instructions were really rubbish and led to a difficult build of the fan, should have been simple. First thoughts , an ok fan quite powerful and quiet. After a few hours of running it started to make a horrid squeal , happens when in motion and static. Would I buy again? No I wouldn’t.

I wish I had taken heed of other reviews before buying this fan. It is absolutely terrbible. The breeze is as strong as an asthmatic in the Desert blowing down a straw at you, and can only be felt when standing directly in front of the fan. The build quality is very poor. The lead is very short, There are 4 screws to assemble the base, and the plastic is so cheap and poorly made, that it is difficult to get the screws in without cross threading them. The disc on the front of the fan cage does not come already attached, and it is quite a battle to get this on flat, as the prongs on the disc do not line up with the holes in the fan cage well. The screw at the base of the fan cages holding them together is a TINY nut and bolt which is a pain to do up, and would be a nusiance to undo to clean the fan over time. The tilt function is terrible. It doesn't tilt in a series of clicks like most other fans, but is a stiff single up and down, and you have to move the actual fan head and not just the cage to adjust the angle. Needless to say, I packed this fan back up and returned it for a refund, as it simply isn't fit for purpose. I bought a B&Q fan for three pounds extra that is superior in every aspect

I had trouble initially with this fan as it wasn't working as it should, I then realised it was loose where the plastic blades slip onto the metal pole. I glued it on (using no more nails) and it's fine now, no noise and running properly! Yay! Basically a cheap fan thats not made brilliantly but a bit of glue totally sorted it!
