HOLMES Blizzard 8" Air Circulator Digital Fan, 3 Speeds, 90° Adjustable Head Tilt, Capacitive Touch, Remote Control, Ideal for Home, Bedroom, Kitchen or Office, Black

Love this fan! This is now our 3rd one w/in 14+ yrs. (of using 365 night's a yr) It's the perfect sound of "white noise" for us. This little fan has a smooth soft breeze & once it's on we are off to dreamland. They really hold up as the other 2 were still in working condition however we replaced them when we heard very slight creaking sound.

I ride my bike to work every day. I also get very hot on my ride and need a cool down before I can move on with the day. When my 25-year-old fan suddenly died, I needed to replace it. I was a bit hesitant to get this one because of the reviews about the noise, but ultimately decided to get it because of the reviews about its potential air flow. There is no doubt that I am very happy that I got it because it fits my need perfectly. I have it sitting at my desk so that after my bike ride to work I can let the air blow directly on me. I don't use the oscillating feature but I'm impressed with it's wide angle of oscillation. As hot as I am after the ride to work, I keep the fan on its lowest setting because it blows so much air. I guess that is where it gets the name "Blizzard". I even have to check from time to time to make sure it is on the lowest setting because it blows so much air. When people walk by my office they can feel the air flow, even though it is on its lowest setting and all the way across the room. I have a couple of tower fans at home that I keep in the fitness room to blow on me while exercising on the elliptical. I think this fan has much more airflow than the towers, especially if you turn it up.Since the fan does the job at cooling me down quickly, I tolerate the noise very well. I realize that with the powerful air flow, there has to be a lot of noise. If I need to take a phone call during my cool down, I do need to turn it off because it is so loud, but I also have it sitting right next to my body so the fan blows right into the phone.I've had the fan for about 2 months now, so I can't comment on its durability, other than I use it daily and have had no problems so far.In the end, I could not be happier with my purchase.

Why did you pick this product vs others?:I had a Holmes blizzard fan with 3 speeds for 15+years. I absolutely loved it, it finally gave out, so I was trying to find the same/similar fan. This fan is great, I just wish it had the third speed for louder white noise. It’s a bit louder of a fan compared to others, which is what I was wanting because my bedroom is right above the basement where our tv is.

Reliable. Kicks out a lot of air. Has several speeds. And it rotates and angles..Why did you pick this product vs others?:I had one of these before and it worked great.

This is my second fan from Holmes that I have purchased and they both are excellent. Both are very powerful and very quiet. I bought a 12" fan about a year or two ago as I am going through menopause and I run it constantly and it's still going strong. I just got this one today for my bathroom and it's a bit too powerful. It's spring time and I bet it will be perfect this summer as my bathroom is windowless. The black is beautiful and all I had to do was pull it out of the box and plug it in. Perfection! I love this brand and recommend it to anyone who needs a fan.

I purchased this fan in 2018 and I still love it. I was looking to buy it again because I needed a fan that is small enough to sit on my desk at the office but powerful enough to keep me cool no matter which end of my desk that I am working on (I have a large L shaped desk). Im disappointed it’s sold out. My search continued and I noticed that most of the desk desk fans on Amazon had mixed reviews. I can’t settle for a fan that’s hit or miss when I have experienced this blizzard. I decided to leave a review because it’s still going strong 4 years later. I guess you can say I use it frequently but I don’t use it all day, everyday. I use it about 12 hours a day, 4 months out the year. I mainly use it in between seasons when I don’t want to run the AC but I still want to keep cool. I live in Chicago so we can have 3 seasons in one day lol. It’s powerful enough to keep someone cool about 7 feet away. It’s small enough for me to carry it back and forth from home to work but larger than your typical usb desk fan. In my opinion it’s not noisy. It sounds like wind blowing. If you cut it up to the highest level 3, guess what it’s going to sound like…a lot of wind blowing lol. Again, I live in the Windy City so the sound of wind doesn’t bother me. It sturdy and doesn’t shake on the highest setting. It can oscillate and can easily be tilted up or down with a push of your hand. No need to twist knobs or loosen any pins to tilt it. The hinge is strong so the fan won’t fall downward if you have it tilted up. I haven’t found any cons yet and I have had it for 4 years. Buy it!
