CRAP. Cheap. Flimsy. Broke apart one day in.

Very disappointed with this. It looks so great in the pictures but is a very cheap-and-cheerful unit. Works OK but the construction is so feeble and I have other fans that are far better built for no more than this price. Worst of all, when it arrived just now the packaging is in perfect order, not a mark on it but parts of the fan were broken inside. The instructions (such as they are) show the usual wing-nut-type bolt in the top of the stand for adjusting the angle of the fan's head. This is no more and (I think) there is now some sort of click mechanism for pulling the head up and down. I know nothing about it as this was in pieces in various parts of the box and there is still some rattling about in the base. Reason for this, I think, is that the head had been wrenched back too far when packing it and all this had snapped into many pieces. However, the mechanics work and I get over the tilt problem by using a large Philips screwdriver to loosen and tighten the bolt (where thewing nut used to be) and I really can't be bothered to send it back and chance getting another in the same condition.Now to update this review after a few uses.....when in oscillation mode (especially in number 3 speed) the unit 'clicks' when reaching the end of the right-to-left swing and then, when returning the other way, it does so in three 'jerks' NOT in a smooth movement and a 'tinny' rattling noise comes from somewhere in the fan drive. Combine that with the fact that the useless instructions were obviously for some newer / older model and some things were different on this one have had enough and started the procedure to return it for a refund. It really is a heap of junk !!!After much to-ing and fro-ing and finding out that it cost far more to post this back than the original price of the fan, the sellers have sent me a post-paid label for the package and it's gone home ! Watch this space.Note...before this they even had the cheek to offer me a 'partial refund' (German humour no doubt !)Final note.......have now had a full r
