Great retro fan %26 stylish!!
Love my 12” White retro fan!! I use it every night at bedtime. It has the rotation %26 3 speed settings. It's great that it's made out of metal %26 hopefully will last a long time, like the old ones. I also purchased a 8” Black retro one, just to have. I'm sure once these are gone, you will not see them for many years. Stock up now!!

This fan has a fuse built into the plug and it burned out with very little use.

    Terrific Fans
    I bought five of these fans. They are wonderful. Built very well, colors and look are very nice. The cord even matches the color of the fan. The beautiful blue - one in my kitchen, and bathroom - matching my room color. Upstairs, two pink - matching my master and guest bedroom. One, gold color matching my taupe color in my sewing room. They all blend in nicely with the decor. I'm very delighted. They are great quality. Price, functionality, design. Best thing I have bought in quite awhile. They will last a lifetime. Thank you for making my home look and feel great!

    Cool and Quiet
    I love the retro look of this fan. It's really quiet in contrast to a similar fan I had before this. The metal is a nice warm nickel and the cord is wrapped in a light grey cord which is a nice detail.

    Very Good
    I like that this fan quiet , the Design and color match with my industrial decoration. I was expecting something bigger, it is a small fan, but it is working for it’s purpose. it is heavy because is metal and I preferred that. So far is working good. I used it every night when I am sleeping because my bedroom AC wall unit is not working the way it should and the owner of my apartment never fix anything in my apartment. Will see I have been using it for only one week. I hope this helps.

    Affordable sturdy metal oscillating fan
    Excellent heavy duty fan for the value! Everything about it looks sturdy, and reminiscent of yesteryear. Love the cloth electrical chord and the fuse in the plug end, the only thing I was slightly disappointed in is the speed selector switch, its made of plastic! Cage is held on by eight philips screws with nuts threaded on the backside. I haven't needed to yet, but it looks fairly simple to tear apart with basic hand tools and a metric socket set that gets fairly small to take the grill off to clean the blades. The fan blade itself doesn't appear to come off the motor drive shaft easily, and appears to be pressed on. Puts out a decent amount of air and isn't at all very loud. I also like how easy it is to reposition the direction it's pointing when the oscillation is turned off. No cringy popping when you turn it, I remember a fan my parents had when I was a kid, when you would try to reposition it, it sounded like the gears were stripping in the oscillator and it was extremely hard to turn. I've been running it just about every day to combat the heat down here in south Texas and I have checked the motor housing to see if it's getting hot, and it barely gets warm after hours of operation. Definitely recommend this fan if you are looking for an affordable metal fan that's relatively heavy duty. I can't speak for it's durability as far as the bearings go inside or rather or not they are easy to lubricate. If I'm able, I will update this review when I know more.

    Retro fan in fun colors
    The Better Homes & Gardens 12" table fan brings a cute retro design to your decor. The color I selected has a base and blades base and blades of pearl (pink) and a chrome cage around the blades. The fan direction can be adjusted up and down. And it can blow one direction or turn side to side. There are three speeds. I gave the fan only three stars because it being a metal fan, it is not as quite as a plastic fan would be.

    Retro Table Fan
    We have the 12-inch brushed nickel model. My wife was impressed with its looks, including the brushed nickel color (see the picture), as well as how quiet it is. Additionally, we are impressed with its features. As shown in the pictures, it has a lever on the front of the base for choosing one of three speeds; it can remain in one position or be made to oscillate by pushing down on the black knob on top; the black knob on the side can be loosened to change the tilt. Besides these adjustments, it has a replaceable 5A fuse built into the plug--but no, I haven't had a reason to replace the fuse. In these days of central heating and air, it is easy to forget the practical value of having a small fan like this. My wife prefers a warmer house while I prefer a cooler one. Both of our preferences can be accommodated by setting the thermostat a little higher (for her) and using this table fan at my desk. Besides being good for the marriage, this arrangement is also easy on the pocket book in that it will soon pay for itself (during the air conditioning season) by saving on cooling costs.

    Great fan!!!
    I was not expecting such a high quality fan from this manufacturer. And it's big fan for being a table fan. It's got a nice heavy base so you don't have to worry about it tipping over or being knocked over. I've got it a couple times with my arm and it didn't even budge. It blows air very well even on low that being said this isn't the quietist of fans even on low. Not noisy but you can hear it. It rotates back and forth quietly no vibrations or rocking. The switch is old times type with three fan speeds. It's all metal not cheap plastic. The base I was worried would scratch my table top but it has several rubber feet under the metal base so it won't scratch anything. The cord is pretty long so you could put it anywhere and it would reach no problem it's also a nice fabric covered cord something you don't normally see in any fans. All in all I am VERY pleased with this fan and hope to get many years of use out of it
