AmazonBasics Speed Air Circulator 7 Inch Reviews Summary

Reliability and Lifespan

Pros:

• "Amazon Basic 3 Speed Small Room Air Circulator Fan, 7-Inch Blade, has been my fan of choice for at least 7 years."
• "I bought this in Oct 2022, it is now Jan 2024 and it still works perfectly, use it every night."

Cons:

• "Stopped working after 3 weeks. Now I have to waste my time and gas to return it."
• "Bought this awhile back, but wanted to warn others as to the reliability...eventually stopped working."
• "This fan failed after just over a year of light use. Which is frustrating, but the way it failed was why I'm on here telling you not to buy one."
• "I've given this fan two chances. Each time, it has failed from an internal electrical failure."

Performance and Airflow

Pros:

• "I bought this fan when I broke my sister in laws...This fan made me sleep with a blanket in 70 degree nights."
• "Very powerful fan for it's size and weight. It's also not as loud as most fans."
• "This fan puts out a lot of cool air...Very surprised and happy with how high powered the fan could get for such a tiny fan."
• "This little fan works great in the wife’s craft / sewing room...reasonably quiet and has three different speeds."

Cons:

• "Never did I think I'd be writing a review about an item being TOO QUIET but here I am...the "High" doesn't really push that much air."
• "Man this thing is loud. And it vibrates the surface it is on along with itself far too often, even on low."

Durability and Build Quality

Pros:

• "This thing is durable. Really have to applaud the designers on it...it still runs like a champ."

Cons:

• "These are "OK" fans to use for general purposes. But, they are not made well...My fan fell and it just stopped working."
• "A little over a month after I got it, the motor burned out. Made out of cheap thin plastic."

Cleaning and Maintenance

Pros:

• "I love this fan (identical to Honeywell and Black & Decker version)...despite the very easy break, it is a good fan."

Cons:

• "Nice 3 speed fan that’s effective, as well as good tilt ability. Main drawback is can't clean it well after dust accumulates."
• "I have had this fan for a little over a month and it has been running fairly constantly...I can't get to to clean."

Usability and Design

Pros:

• "I never write reviews on Amazon. This small fan is perfect...It doesn’t rattle anything it sits on."

Cons:

• "This fan has good air output at all 3 speeds. But I HATE how the power switch is on the back of the fan."
• "The fan blows a good amount of air but there is NO on/off switch except for on the very back, which you have to flip the fan around to access."
