Review on Lorell 12" Oscillating Desk Fan - Sleek Light Gray Design for Effective Cooling by George Kapoor

Revainrating 5 out of 5

GREAT TABLE FAN - Household fans

Great table fan in a handy size with tilt and swivel function. I don't use the wobble function, but I do use the tilt and rotate functions. Quiet for its size, relatively light, well ventilated and durable. The power cord is 5 feet long. As my other brands of fans are dying, I am replacing them with comparable Lorell fans. Three in stock, one in stock. Easy assembly with clear assembly instructions. When you open the packaging box, remove the plastic carrying handle from the box and keep it - you can attach it to the fan. I would recommend starting the fan assembly by attaching the base first so the fan case can stand upright on its own while you attach the grille and fan blades. The only tool you may need is a medium Phillips screwdriver if you want to install the small screw on the bottom of the base. Open the three latches (top and side) at the back of the grille. Note that the back nut of the inner grille is already attached to the main unit and must be removed and then secured with the back nut before attaching the back grille. Install the fan blade and secure with the winged front nut that came with the fan blade. Attach the front of the grille and secure by snapping the three grille latches into place. The thin, fixed metal grip on the back of the fan grill isn't the most comfortable fan grip ever invented, especially for large hands. However, the fan can always be touched by the motor housing. And if you remove the plastic carry handle from the shipping box, it can be attached to the back of the grille for a more convenient fan grip.
