Sometimes we try to take the cheap thing, it will last long, but it does not happen, I asked for two to three fans, which got spoiled by two to three months or the matter was spoiled, which we did not even do that much that we do it in summer only in summer, due to the weather of UK, that too sometimes but it is very good to get it very well, because it is very good and I am very happy and my kids very happy to get it very well. Best is in comparison to others.

Great looking fan, could really do with a lower speed setting though. Somewhere between 1 and 0 would be great, is a bit noisy and very powerful even at 1

Great product, great quality, good airflow, value to money!

Really good fan. It is heavy and sturdy not like these cheap ones you can get for a similar price, base is heavy do it won’t get knocked over easily. Looks really nice as it has the wood effect on the pole and the fan. I get what people say about it being a bit noisy but if you want a good fan then you will get noise from the blades and it is an extremely powerful fan. I have only used it on the first setting as it is more than enough. Would definitely purchase again.

I confess I bought this because it looked so damned good, and I had the benefit of a few Amazon customer reviews- all good. Item was delivered in a day. When we assembled it- we found the securing cap already fixed on the motor rod- and tried as we did, couldn't seem to prise it off, so we could attach the fan blades, as we obviously needed to do. The cap had a coin like slit in the front and we tried screwdrivers and coins- no luck. It had arrow marks and writing on it to say 'tighten' and 'loosen'- but which ever way we turned the rod rotated with it. The instruction manual had diagrams of parts and assembly but nothing on this particular tight cap. Finally, not wanting to damage item in case we had to return it, I called Russell Hobbs helpline. A couple of minutes way- and an helpful chap answered. He confessed it was a fairly new item and he would have to ask a technician and ring us back. Thankfully, by the time he rang us back ( and he rang us within an hour)- somehow with more twists- counter-clock wise twists this time- we managed to prise the thing off!! The rest of the assembly was easy.Can confirm with the others- it has both beauty and superb function. At the lowest speed it provides enough coolness on the hottest summer day of the year so far. Haven't had to try the higher speeds yet. Plus it is very quiet. This will have to be a very important deciding factor for many, if the fan is next to the TV, as it is in our living room.As for its looks, it is exactly as in the pictures- just super design. They call this model SCANDI, and I can see it looking quite at home in a modern Scandinavian interior (which ours definitely is not!). We bought the black and wood finish model. I'm guessing the white and wood version looks just as cool!One reason for me writing this review- to say how impressed I was with the Russell Hobbs helpline- in spite of the fact I bought this off Amazon via a private seller (Electrical Shop). I had wanted to buy a fan from a recognisable name, and really glad I did. If they can make decent kettles, I thought, they are likely to make a decent fan. Plus the price point (£60.00) was not dissimilar to other makes. It comes with a 1 year warranty but if you log on their website and enter your model's Serial Number- you can extended the warranty for another year. Therefore another strong incentive. Wish now I had also ordered the Russell Hobs table fan too instead of the Oypla I had ordered at the same time.
