Amazon.com Review

Hot time, summer in the city--there's nothing like a powerful fan to keep you cool and collected despite the heat. The Blizzard oscillating fan from Holmes features three speed settings and a hard-working Blizzaire motor to ensure you have the temperature control to keep your wits about you. And if you can’t decide whether you need a standing or tabletop fan, this fan’s flexibility makes it the perfect solution. With three height settings (16, 26, and 40 inches), you’re sure to keep cool no matter where you need a cooling blast. The fan head features a swirling grill design that is fully adjustable so you have complete control over the tilt angle, and it can oscillate from any position. The fan’s wide base includes a weighted removable insert for stability when using the taller height settings, although you should always use caution with any standing fan around toddlers or enthusiastic tail-wagging dogs. Crafted from durable slate-gray poly, the fan has a three-year limited warranty. --Ariel Meadow Stallings

Powerful Fan - Pramod, Apr 05, 2008

I have had this fan for over a month and it is probably one of the most useful items I have bought on amazon. It is not very quiet but when you look for power you have to compromise on sound. I guess I am used to the sound and I would say that the comfort of the cool breeze from the fan really outweighs the smooth buzzing sound it creates. Overall great product.

Be Carefull in . . . - E. L., Aug 31, 2007

. . assembling this. Its made entirely of plastic and it isn't hard to strip the pole screw threads by twisting them together too tightly rendering the fan unable to adjust height. Mine has been quietly running 24/7 for over two years now. Difficult to clean but it must be done for performance sake. I will not buy another of the same because of the plastic construction and it having a non-removable grill for cleaning. Performance: 5-stars; Craftsmanship/Design: 1-star.

Powerful Fam - Stavroula Boumakis, Aug 30, 2007

This is such a great product. I have yet to find a fan that even compares to it. I bought one 3 years ago and it fell down and broke. I was glad to find it on Amazon and THE PRICE WAS RIGHT! I highly recommend this fan.

Great Product..couldn't ask for better - M. Samuel, Jul 09, 2007

This is a wonderful fan. I first saw the fan in my doctor's office and thought that I had to find this fan, it was great. Fortunately Amazon had it and boy does it cool the room like an a/c. It does not blow hot air at all. I own a vornado, and compared to vornado, the holmes pack a punch. If you purchase this fan you would not regret it. A little noisy, but that can be ignored.

Solid fan, really moves the air! - L. Mountford, May 31, 2007

This is a nice sturdy smallish fan, but don't let that fool you. It *really* moves the air, much better than any of the box fans I've owned, a lot better than the standard el cheapo oscillating fan I used to have. Yes, it's a little noisier than some folks will like. It doesn't bother me at all -- it's like "white noise" -- and I only had to boost the volume on the television by two points (from 28 to 30) to accommodate it.

Mine works great pointed toward the ceiling, on the lowest setting, and effectively keeps a 15' by 28' living/dining room comfortable. It got up to near 90 degrees today, and I was perfectly comfortable all afternoon (most folks don't have air conditioning up here in the Pacific northwest).

If you're usually bothered by background noise, this probably isn't a good choice for you. But if you usually tune out background noise, this is a decent alternative. Wait for it to go on sale (check the Friday sale, deal of the day, etc.).
