Ozeri Ultra 42” Oscillating Tower Fan with Noise Reduction Technology

=== SEE UPDATED REVIEW BELOW === We purchased this fan to replace our dying Honeywell tower fan. I was pleasantly surprised at how quiet it was - it's by no means "noiseless" as the item title suggests, but there's very little motor noise, so most of what you hear is just air buffeting and blowing out. The overall volume of the fan is noticeably less than our last fan and the sound is more "white" and tends to blend in with the background. We use the fan in the bedroom at night, so having a nice even white noise is definitely appreciated. Screwing the base together and onto the fan proved to be quite simple and the instructions are not needed. However, I did notice after setting it up the fan would make a very annoying creaking sound when it would reach one side of it's oscillating path. I was afraid I was going to have to send it back, but after inspecting the base, I could see a white electric cable that connected the fan to the oscillator motor (the part the base screws onto). The length of that electric cable is not very forgiving and I guessed that it was being stretched as the fan rotated, thus making the squeaking sound. I tested my theory by rotating the fan base - forcing it past it's normal range of oscillation until I heard a clicking noise. After testing and a few more clicks, the electric cable isn't being stretched anymore and the annoying creaking sound is gone. I'm guessing I had accidentally turned it the opposite direction while installing the base. It's easy to do and doesn't require much force, so it's something to be careful of when setting up the fan. Moderna Housewares sent me an email shortly after the fan arrived to see if I needed any help and if the fan was living up to my expectations. It was a nice gesture to show the company was being proactive about my satisfaction. Overall we're very happy with the noise and air movement of this fan. It feels like it was built a lot better than our previous fan so I'm hoping it will last much longer. === UPDATE === (original review above) After the noise mentioned above didn't go away, I tried contacting Moderna Housewares about return or warranty options. I received no response even after repeated messages through Amazon and via their website. Ozeri's website is terrible and has nothing but a generic phone number and an email address that no one ever seems to check. After continued attempts to contact the seller and the manufacturer with no response, I resorted to taking the fan apart and fixing it myself. A few things I learned that may be useful for a prospective buyer: 1. Keep your warranty card! You may never be able to get the contact information any other way if you need service. 2. The back of the fan is easy to remove (4 phillips screws and a firm yank to pop two small plastic tabs on the sides apart). This is helpful for cleaning out accumulated dust on the impeller. 3. The white cable mentioned above is actually much longer than I thought, but kinks and rubs on the housing. A little reshaping and a quick shot of WD40 fixed it instantly. 4. Do NOT buy from Moderna Housewares! I don't think they're listed as a seller anymore, but just in case. Once I fixed the squeaky cable, the fan has worked perfectly. I'm still very happy with it and glad I got this particular model.

The Ozeri Ultra has made my life so much more comfortable. My central A/C broke and at a cost of 5 to 6k, I cannot afford to replace it. I have been using various mid price oscillating pedestal fans trying to keep cool during this Los Angeles heat wave and they just don't do the job. They don't push the air well, are rather noisy, are too short and the flimsy design makes them wobbly. I had high hopes for the Ozeri Ultra after reading all the great reviews and it has not disappointed. Assembling it was simple and I am NOT usually very good at putting anything together. It is important to make sure the two half circle pieces that form the base snap together properly and are completely flush with the floor, otherwise your fan will wobble. This fan is amazing. It pushes the air well and cools the room even on the lowest setting. It is extremely quiet compared to other fans. I only use it on the oscillating setting and it is sturdy with not even a hint of wobbling. The best part is the remote, especially at night time. No more getting up to turn the fan on or off, higher or lower, etc. The remote works well, no problems with buttons sticking. The timer is a nice feature as well. This fan works so well that even if my central A/C worked, I would choose to use this fan instead to save energy. LOVE it. I cannot comment on durability since I have only had it for a month but if you are worried, you can purchase an extended warranty through Square Trade. 12/16/2014 fan still works great!! 08/18/2015 fan still keeping us cool and working great!! no issues at all. 08/11/2016 still works perfectly. i see they lowered he price by $40. if i needed another one, i would buy it again. 9/17/2017 - RIP Ozeri fan, it died today. I liked this fan so much that I wanted to buy another but Amazon was out of stock. I did a search for tall tower fans and found the Arctic-Pro Fan. Turns out it is EXACTLY the same as Ozeri fan except it is $41 less. Of course I bought that one!! Also bought the Square Trade 3 yr Warranty for just $5. 7/10/2020 Just bought another one. I guess these things only last about 3 years but I think i got my money's worth. Bought the Asurion policy too. I sure hope they are as good as Square Trade.

10+ YEAR UPDATE All 4 of my fans are still going strong after 10+ years of almost daily, extended use! I lost the remotes again, so reordering... :)). These are the best fans ever, highly recommend! They've survived through various cross-country moves, kids/ pets knocking them over (which requires some effort), and tons of pet fur and dust getting lodged in the vents (easy to clean up, thankfully!). I am utterly impressed by the quality of these fans, which by now have paid for themselves a few times over. They're also very easy to operate, which I appreciate more and more as I experience newer models of electronics with unnecessarily complicated steps to operate. Ozeri has earned my loyalty and, based on the quality of these fans, I'd give any product of theirs a shot before any other brand. In fact, when these fans finally go, I'll be replacing them with the Bluetooth version of this fan, that way I won't have to keep ordering remotes :)). 8+ YEARS -- UPDATED REVIEW Perfect performance for at least 8 years now, just ordered another one for a friend. Highly recommend! I also lost the remote for one of the fans and I was able to order a new one for the cost of shipping and handling ($5) from Ozeri. Excellent customer service, and it arrived super fast. Wish all products and vendors were are good :)) ============== I've owned 3 of these fans for about 6 years now and they really are great. They've taken a tumble now and then and withstood with no problem. One took a hard fall and it's a little bit tilted now but it did not affect functioning at all. Not a single problem with any of them, which is a lot to say for electronics these days! The remotes work perfectly and one can control multiple units, which comes in handy when one of the remotes is misplaced. I do a lot of research before purchasing an item and even then sometimes it's a miss, but not with this fan. I am currently shopping for a tower heater (have spent at least 10 hours reading reviews and researching, no kidding) and this fan just happened to show up in the results. I had to stop and review it while I stare at one right in front of me :)), because I really appreciate the years of excellent service I've gotten from these fans, with many many more on the horizon. I think I will buy the Ozeri tower heater too, even though it's considerably more expensive than other units, only because I've had such a great experience with this fan. If you're tired of reading reviews, buying, being disappointed, returning, and then on to more research, go no further and buy this fan with confidence! If you read my reviews, I'm equally passionate and outspoken about the products I don't like as I am about the ones I do, and no one pays me for reviews either. I bought these fans when they were new on the market and at full price, so this discounted price is another plus. Wish I had more rooms to put a couple more in! Great job, Ozeri -- expecting the same experience with your tower heater, so the pressure is ON :)). Stay tuned for that review...

I'm updating my original rating from 1 star to 4. There are several reasons for the change and how I arrived at a 4 star rating from my original 1 star. After using the fan for 2 mo., I'd rate the fan at 3 stars. However the Ozeri customer service was 5 star which brought the average to 4. The fan base needs a stronger and better design but the fan is quiet and the temperature LED is a nice feature. I've used tower fans that moved more air than the Ozeri but they are no longer available at least from what I can determine. I'm using the Ozeri fan in my home office which sits atop carpeting and so far it's worked rather well and hasn't toppled as I initially thought would be the case. Phoenix temperatures make fans a necessity for comfort with or without air conditioning and so far, this fan has functioned quietly and well. If it fails or there are any issues, I will update my review again. Original Review: The Ozeri fan is substandard and in my opinion, rates less than one star for quality in its design and materials used to manufacture the unit. I would however, rate Amazon with five stars in its handling of the pick-up and refund of a grossly overpriced and certainly poorly crafted fan. The corrugated box used to ship the product was better engineered than the fan it contained. The first items removed from the box were two pieces of plastic that according to the instructions, would serve as the pedestal base when snapped together like two Lego building blocks. I've tossed Frisbee's that contained more plastic and substance than the pedestal base designed to support the oscillating fan tower. A consumer shopping for a quiet fan to place atop carpeting such as a bedroom area, should think twice before buying this model and consider stocking the nightstand with bungee cords and duct tape in order to secure the fan and prevent it from toppling when in operation. Similar to the craftsmanship of the base, or lack thereof, the fan tower was molded from thin tissues of composite plastic material that housed moving parts powered by electrical current. I don't recall seeing metal in the fan construction other than the base of the electrical plug. I could not have anticipated the replacement of a tower fan for the bedroom would be as complicated as this experience when my Seville Classics fan failed to oscillate and began shutting off during the night. My first attempt to disassemble my Seville in an effort to diagnose the problem was a failure when I realized the fan housing was constructed of metal and so superior in its engineering that I could not determine the location of the many concealed screws. I declared defeat and sought to buy a new Seville only to discover the big box store where it had been purchased seven years ago no longer carried the item. Driven with a passion to replace my fan before Phoenix temperatures made sleeping without it nearly intolerable, I researched the reviews and opted to purchase the Ozeri from Amazon. When it was delivered it took only a few minutes to recognize it was poorly designed, overpriced, and overrated in the reviews, and most certainly would be returned. I cannot rate the noise level or airflow because the fan could not be assembled due to missing parts that connected the oscillating fan tower to the pedestal base. In my adamant pursuit to find yet another replacement, I located a new model of the Seville on Amazon with only nine remaining in stock and wasted no time in purchasing one which cost barely more than half the price of the Ozeri. I also found a review by a consumer who, like me, initially encountered difficulty in the disassembly of his Seville fan but after mastering the technique provided instructions and what appeared to be the Rosetta Stone for finding the location of the concealed screws. Encouraged by his posting and armed with a new appreciation of the quality craftsmanship and materials used in my seven-years-old fan as compared to what I discovered with the Ozeri, I felt energized and confident as I gleefully retrieved my Seville from the 'metals' recycling dumpster. However, my euphoria was short-lived with the realization that the engineering of the Seville was superior to my ability to disassemble the housing which resulted in abysmal failure evident by six screws that I had removed but for the life of me cannot determine their place in the tower housing. But I'm not yet ready to surrender the fan that served me so well for years even though I have purchased a new Seville model that is scheduled to be delivered tomorrow. I find myself committed to making another attempt at disassembling the housing and finding the locations for the screws upon my discovery of a YouTube video featuring step-by-step instruction. In the meantime, I've remained optimistic the new Seville will suffice and that the old Seville can be repaired now that I have learned to appreciate the quality craftsmanship and engineering.

After incessant review requests by Ozeri - here is my review. Previous to this I had an older Lasko tower fan, fairly similar to my new Ozeri 42" fan. In a nutshell it comes down to this - this fan blows harder on low than my Lasko did on high. It's definitely quieter as well. Both great pluses for me. What I don't like - the lid that is on top of the fan has a point on it that gets inserted down into a push button latch. Mine came broken with no way to fix it. I don't care enough to complain about it - if I push it just right it will stay closed. My other complaint vs the Lasko is that the base/foot is cheap. It feels cheap and it looks cheap - different from the upper part of the fan assembly. To make it perfect for me, I'd like it to be a bit better made and maybe even have some weight to it. The breeze feature is a gimmick and to me, just something that was added to be on a feature list. The fan blows on High, then low, then medium, then OFF, then medium, etc. Again, for me, it would be nicer if the fan actually had some sort of gradual speed up / slow down to more closely resemble a breeze. It's a feature in it's current state that I'll never use. Oscillation is smooth - no complaints here. Again, for me, something I won't use. If I want a fan, I want it to blow on me. The remote is nice - you can control everything from it. No complaints here. Overall - really, I give this a 5 star rating, even with my complaints. As a fan, it's powerful and quiet in a compact tower. That's what I needed, that's what I ordered and that's what I got. The rest of the gimmickry I could personally do without.

When I bough this fan; I thought it would be just like any other store bought fan. It would provide a cool breeze on a warm night and oscillate back and forth at different speeds. Oh and look! I don't have to get out of bed to turn it on and off! Great! I'm lazy when I'm tired. But I was wrong..... What we have here is a freaking tornado wrapped in a typhoon all tangled up with a wind tunnel that's taller than most toddlers and will come close to stripping the paint off the walls! My old $50 tower fan that failed after a year had to sit close to my bed. It's total wind output was equal to that of a feable and dying old woman breathing out. At least in comparison to the Ozeri. I had to move this fan far away from me... as far as I could stretch its cord. Or else I would be buffeted by the wind all night. Yet the remote works at that distance too. It has a night time mode which I'm a little confused by. It powers through the speed settings back and forth. Same with that blue tree looking thing (Eco mode?). I don't really. Notice a difference between the two. The oclscillation is okay. Not as fast as I'd like. About 10 seconds between sweeps. Maybe on the next version we could get a variable oscillation speed? One thing I did notice, is you can't turn the LCD display off with the remote. There's no way. You have to get up and really open the top cover and press the mode button for 3 seconds before it turns the artificial sun off. But if you need to change the speed at night, or set the timer, it doesn't return to night mode and the false daylight this thing emits stays on until you have to get up and do the whole mode thing again. That's the only sucky part about this unit. But its petty somewhat so I don't kill any stars for it. If you need a fan that is obviously high quality.... this fan can't be beat. Not by those $300 blade less gimmicks from sharper image. Not by those odd ionozer jokes you see on TV. This fan is solid and feature rich. It is also easy to assemble. I didn't even read the instructions. If you can't put this fan together right out of the box, I dare say you have the IQ of a door knob. 5/5 Ozeri! Bravo!

I have seen the Dyson fans and have been intrigued by their airflow technology, but their prices were off-putting. I was looking for a fan that would be efficient, quiet, and wouldn't have moving blades which worried me because of my pets. I started looking at fans at Amazon and came across the Ozeri Ultra 42" Tower Fan and having read the reviews thought that this might be just the fan I was looking for. I have had it for three days now and find that it is everything that I wanted, and more. I have a large family room with a home theater in it. I have the fan situated at the far side of the room and as I sit on my couch can feel the cooling breeze clear across the room. It is extremely quiet and allows me to enjoy my surround sound system without interference. Having the remote control with the fan allows me to adjust it as I like without moving from my seat. I am impressed with the sleek design, the way the remote control stores under the lid of the fan so it is always within reach as I enter the room, and the fact that the force of the fan is such that it cools me from a distance. I found that the fan, which comes needing some assembly, was easy to put together. Its sleekness makes it an attractive addition to the room unlike my portable room air conditioner, and provides me with the cooling that I want. I don't especially like air conditioning and am delighted to have this as an alternative. So far I haven't even moved the portable air conditioner out of my utility room. I am very pleased with the Ozeri Ultra and would recommend it to anyone.

SEE UPDATE AT BOTTOM. The fan came today, only two days after I ordered it. Good prompt service with an email from the vendor telling me it was on its way. I assembled it in minutes and set it up next to my desk where I sit pretty much all day. It is quieter than the tall "big green fan on a stick" that I've been using for years. Noise bothers me a lot, so the quiet operation is very welcome. Also, since my desk is really a table, and the fan is long and tall (I did install it on the pedestal), I get breeze all up and down, not just on my face and upper body. I don't want it to oscillate; I want a steady breeze. It's been extremely hot here this summer (the heat index today was 111), and my office window faces due west. I'm keeping my a/c thermostat set at 79-80, so this fan will help me feel comfortable. I like that there's a temperature display on the front of the fan. When I set it up about half an hour ago, it said 81; now it says 79. :-) Very happy with the purchase. UPDATE. Two days later. I've only had the fan for two days, but I'm very happy with it. The breeze is very gentle and quiet and it blows directly on me just about all day as I sit at my desk. I thought the remote control was a bit much at first, but it's very nice to just sit down at my desk and turn the thing on without having to crawl/step/trip over two reclining dogs. Also I can turn the fan on without having to disturb the cat on my lap. Hehe. Re the "modes": the booklet says there are three breeze patterns, "sleep," "nature," and "normal." In fact, "normal" is the same as "modes off," so there are really only two modes. I don't use them anyway, as I like a steady breeze. (But I always read instruction booklets, manuals, and other documentation that comes with the gadgets I buy. How else are you going to know all of the features?) Very satisfied with product. UPDATE: 8/31/2014 Sometimes reading Amazon reviews mystifies me. There can be 4,000 5-star reviews and 12 1-star reviews, and I always read the 1-star reviews, because it's interesting how people can have such divergent opinions of the same item. I understand it with books. There are many times when I've been one of a handful of people who have hated a book that thousands of people loved. It's harder to grasp when it comes to objects. This fan is an example. I've owned the same fan for about three years now. I have moved since I wrote the original review and now the fan sits in my living room. It runs virtually all the time, summer and winter. When I run it in summer, I fiddle with the remote, first directing the stream of air directly on me, and after that gets to be too cold (and it does) I lower the speed and set it to oscillate. Sometimes when I go to bed THE FAN IS SO QUIET, I FORGET IT'S ON and accidentally leave it running all night. The 1-star reviews that say it's a piece of junk, don't waste your money, it's noisy, it smells bad... did they even buy the same product??? My fan doesn't have any smell and it's plenty quiet. I like it a lot. UPDATE: May 22, 2015 Sadly, the honeymoon is over. Actually the marriage is over. After four years of satisfaction and functionality, the fan ceased oscillating a couple of days ago. I emailed Ozeri and they cordially wished me luck with trying to fix it. I took the back off and vacuumed dust, etc., but the lack of oscillation doesn't seem to be due to gumminess or no lubrication. When the fan sticks in mid-oscillation, there's a cracking sound. I dunno. Is four years of service enough for it to keep its five stars? No. I loved how it was so quiet. Sigh. Now shopping for another oscillating fan. I may put this one where it can be stationary.

I received the fan today. Assembly was a breeze. The fan is really quiet on the lowest setting, and fairly quiet in the highest setting. It was very very hot today and we didn't need to switch on the air conditioning as this fan was great with cooling and it felt like it even lowered the room temperature a few degrees. And yes the fan displays the room temperature too, however, having temperature display in celsius instead of only in fahrenheit would be nice. The air throw is super great and circulates air effectively in a large room. It is a very good looking fan with sufficient height, and a very nice display. The remote is a great feature. Will update my review after a couple of months to comment on durability, however, at present it appears to be a good buy and i would recommend it to a friend. Edit after a few months: Very soon it starts to make a loud noise. Which goes from no sound to very loud to just a little annoying noise to very loud again and so on. It is still very good at cooling a large room, if only it didn't make this much noise. Edit after one year: When we started the fan when summers rolled in again. It had no noise for one whole day. Alas it has come back. Still good with air. Just too much noise. Edit next season: Noise is gone, don’t know where 😊. Last year inspite of the noise in the piece we had bought earlier, we went ahead and bought another one of the same fan, because the air throw is unmatched. Guess what, the new one never gave any noise, we thought may be we got a glitch piece in the last one, come this season, and even the other one doesn’t have any noise any more. Very very happy 😊.

I am from Mumbai, India the product is expensive and to add to it the normal step down ( required as its imported 110v vs the 210v )does not work and requires another higher watt step down which adds anywhere from 1500 to 3500 to the cost( I learnt it the hard way ) If u r ok with that then The product is super nice as it has a good throw and is really silent. This fan is tall and by no standards is a small one. The only negative is that it dosnt sit as well on its pillar, not that it wobbles during operation but dosnt feel secure.

Refresca bien, no es ruidoso y es muy práctico para moverlo

ESTE VENTILADOR ME GUSTO MUCHO, FUNCIONAL, ELEGANTE Y DURADERO, NECESITO OTRO, CUANDO TENGAN AVISENME, GRACIAS.

Not for use in India
