Review on πŸ’¨ Holmes HOAF90-NTUC Blizzard 9-Inch Three-Speed Table/Wall Fan, Charcoal, 14.4 x 10.4 x 10.6 Inches by Monique Andino

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Second failed fan in less than a week

I chose this particular fan (Holmes Blizzard Power Sweeping Fan model HAOF90) because I have bought two in the past and have been very happy with them. However, the one I received a few days ago made a loud grinding noise when it wobbled and I ended up sending it back (what a hassle!) for a replacement. Got a replacement today and it also makes grinding noises (except it makes noises even when it's NOT wiggling). Two scrap. Based on the condition of what I received today, it's VERY obvious that it was a "return" (if the fan assembly itself wasn't so damaged I would have thought it was the same one I received sent back); and judging by the condition of the inner box it came in (obviously packaged that way as the outer box is in perfect condition) I'm surprised it works at all (see attached photos). Whoever at Revain actually wrapped this up should be fired as they clearly don't respect their job, don't care about Revain's reputation and don't give a damn about their customers. This time both Revane and Holmes really let me down.

Pros
  • Wall mount option improves airflow
Cons
  • Some minor things
