Cheap $15 Within a month fan stopped working blew all the power out happened to two of my fans your best paying that bit extra and getting a more expensive one

Just stopped working after a week .
What can you expect for $15? Trouble is you throw the receipt away and it's too hard to take it back to Kmart .. so it adds to landfill.

I can say that I'm very satisfied with this product, specially considering that I paid only $12 for it. It has 3 different speeds and an extendable pole that you can use to adapt it's height. The down side is that it comes dismounted in a box, meaning that you have to put the pieces together by yourself before starting to use it. But not a major issue thought.

It is a cheap simple fan. Nothing special as such. Base stand is a bit cheap quality but then it reflects the prize . Does it what it says . Easy to assemble and dis-assemble. Doesn't take too much space . Have had it for sometime without any issues .

Its a really bare bones fan, i mean given for its price you can't expect too much. Theres no cool mist blowing out or anything. Construction was relatively simple and its not too noisy. The fan shows no sign of slowing down and I mean, its just a fan, you don't need it to have wifi or anything.

After spending $80 on a sexy black tower fan only to find after 6 months it started to rattle, I decided to go back to basics. Now this $12 Kmart fan sits in my west facing bathroom and it works a treat!. She's not pretty but I'm sick of spending good money on the good looking kinds that do not go the distance. At $12, how could you go wrong?

Dirt cheap fan I buy almost every summer. Works as a fan should... cools you down and has the standard rotation/3 settings (low, medium, high). I usually find the low is enough for a small bedroom. Very quiet, not too noisy at all! Not too much hassle to take out and clean, though it does collect dust every quickly, so clean regularly or the breeze won't feel as nice. Fan is big, wish it was a tad smaller. I use mine for months and months on end with no problem. Overall great product.

The cheaper Kmart fans that are plastic made last longer than the steel built expensive fan at Kmart.. even though the effectiveness of the cheaper fan is low, it won't start having motor troubles. I have both kinds. The steel one just stopped working after a year. I remember it was about $50. The plastic one at least works till now beyond a year.

The quality of this fan was absolutely rubbish! I had only purchased it only a month ago and now it is already broken down. The motor burnt out. I can now understand why it is $12. I recommend you spend the extra money and purchase something of a better quality.

Bought from K Mart less than a week ago for NZ$15. Assembly is fairly standard for this sort of fan but performance is patchy.
The second time I used it there was a strong smell of oil. The next time, I found out why - the motor casing was HOT! It's been okay a couple of times since, but heated up again today, almost too hot to touch, so it will be going back to the shop before we end up with a fire. In any case, there's no point in trying to cool down a room with a device that actually heats it up!

Bought from local Kmart for $12 over a year ago & used heavily since. Often on while I sleep & it's been fine. Quality can be flaky as my housemate bought one & his died after three days. I can't complain about mine though, it's been incredible value for money.

Mine broke after 4 days. Whirred and whizzed and then the bade fell off. Gonna have to return it to Kmart too. What poor quality.

i bought one of these fans from Kmart. It has better construction than the cheap white plastic fans and looks a whole lot nicer too. However, after running the fan on oscillating mode for 2 hours, I heard a metallic "ting" sound and the oscillating stopped. I couldn't get it working again. Gonna have to return it!
