Holmes HTF3210A-STU 32" Tower Fan



Great Fan, Except for Sound
I love this fan, it moves a surprising amount of air(I almost never need to turn it up above a 1)and while I have several fans around the house (no AC) this one out-performs them all. I use this fan daily in the summer(this will be the second summer) and it still works like new.

This fan is a 5-star fan in cooling ability and craftsmanship. However it looses a star for having a really annoying beep anytime you push one of the buttons. Who needs such a loud beep? You get used to it but it can still wake up someone sleeping nearby.

To fit in the box the base comes in two pieces and you just snap them together. I found it fairly simple but it's worth noting that there is a tiny bit of assembly required.

Didn't Last Very Long
The fan worked flawlessly for about 3 months. Then it began to have an issue; the fan would take about five minutes before the blades actually spun at the appropriate speed. The length of time it required to warm up increased, sometimes taking an over an hour. I decided to take it apart. After removing some hair, dust, and dirt (not very much) I reassembled the fan and it seemed to work like new. Now, 5 months later, it started acting up again and after a week it stopped spinning altogether. Attempting cleaning again, but to no avail. DEAD.

TLDR: Worked well for a few months, then had to disassemble and clean. Worked OK for a few more months, now its DEAD. Less than 1 year of use.

Perfect
Just what we wanted and it is perfect for our needs.
Not sure Why others say the BEEP when shutting off is a problem.
Its just a second of a louder beep when shutting off
