V35412 Unstable Fan that can tip over

Shawnie · ‎03-10-2010

I wondered why i couldn’t read reviews on this. But i bought anyway. How can you screw up a fan? Well you make one that isn’t level and a feather or a pet or a child or a higher speed can cause it to fall over, that’s how. Sending it back tomorrow. Still no reviews to read, but there are q & a’s talking about the problem. Also the presentation makes a big deal about it not making fan noise. Well it sounds like a fan, LOL. This kind of deceptive marketing makes me mad.

First, I can read the reviews just fine. Second I own this fan for two years going on three. Never tipped over.

I can’t see the four reviews at all. But i do see and read the q&as this afternoon. Would have been smart to read them before hand.😬. Pretty clear there has been a problem. Glad you were lucky.

I just got this fan, it hasn't tipped over and works just fine.

What color is yours? Do you use it on carpet? Does it sit firmly on the floor?

@Shawnie

I have this fan.Actually thanks for posting .I forgot I have it. I didn't see it when I brought up the fans from the basement.

This is a really great fan.yours must have a defect somewhere.

It also is very quiet <3 I put it on the floor on a rug and it is black ,in case you wondered..........

Not like the expensive Dyson fan I recently bought! I should have known better because I don't like my Dyson vacume cleaner either. The Dyson fan along with being noisy ,hardly blows any air around!

P.S. @Shawnie I cannot see any reviews on any product at all anymore.

I think I remember a key selling point of this one was how light it was - easy to move around.

I have three of these:

I think these are wonderful. I use them on the stands but they can also be used on their own. I got them all "as is" and they seemed brand new.

Cogito ergo sum

Thank you so much for this thread, @Shawnie .

I realize you don't care for this fan, but after reading your post I checked the item number, and I believe I've found "the perfect fan" for me.

I see 10 pages of reviews.

Many people who bought one in the past are back buying a 2nd, 3rd...

About 10 days ago a buyer wrote there was a slight vibration at top speed. She put two tennis balls on the back of the fan to supply the needed ballast.

Problem solved.

I'll be ordering the black one.
