Bionaire 12 Inch Remote Control Power Fan

Great Features, Poor Performance
I like the way this fan looks, & it has great features, so I really wanted this to be a great 5* fan. But unfortunately, it is not a 5* product, & here's why. I have twelve fans in use in my house, from small personal units all the way up to a "hurricane" force model for the garage workshop, so I have a lot of fans to compare this one to.

Pros:
1. looks sleek & is quite attractive
2. this remote is 5* all the way. It controls everything the fan can do, not just some things, as some other remotes do. It's one of only four fans I have with a remote available, & is easily the best of the remotes.
3. has a design which enables the fan to create oscillating wind without having a moving fan head (the slats on the front turn in a circular motion; since the slats are angled in different directions, this creates a side-to-side & an up-to-down air movement pattern). There is a double-slat design on the grill (vertical & horizontal), which is both good & bad; it's good...

Slower fan speed & quiet motor.
I bought the fan to go in my bedroom. I like all the features it offers except it needs a lower fan speed. I would like the motor to be quieter too Had to go back to my old fan which is very quiet so I could sleep. So, if it had a slower fan speed & a quiet motor, this fan would be ideal for the bedroom environment.

Loaded w/features, powerful & attractive!
This is a super table top or floor fan. It is packed with nice features., in fact it's design is even attactive. You will never find another fan on the market that has the features found on this product. It has a retractable cord reel that w/be handy for storing the fan when not in use. Think you might misplace the remote control, not if you place it in the sleek compartment (molded into the side of the housing/ chassi). The timer can be set for 1, 2, 4, or 8 hours and is electronic not analog. There are two breeze settings, and the grill oscilates to direct wide range air-flow coverage. Finally, with so many features, Bionaire offers a 5 year warranty. The only negative comment I would make is that the fan is noisy. Obviously the highest speed is the loudest. The lowest setting isn't too bad. If it were not for the gushing air flow noise, this would be the ideal fan for just about any need or application.

I have noticed two model numbers for the Bionaire 12 Inch...
