Tools and Hardware Reviews of Air King 6-Inch 2-Speed Circulating Fan #9146Customer Review: 5 stars at first, but doesn't last long enough Summary: 3 Stars
I loved this fan when I first bought it. I was looking for something to make just enough noise to fall asleep to and this thing was perfect. I left it on low speed at night - it was quiet, but made just enough noise (a few feet from my head) to help drown out any other noises that normally wake me up. After about 9 months, the inner mount of the fan blades (around which the blades rotate) came loose and the fan started wobbling a little and making off-beat noises, which were worse in low speed and not conducive to sleeping. At first putting it in high speed fixed the problem. Then it started happening in high speed too, unless the fan was titled at a certain angle. I've had this fan for almost two years now and at this point the fan only runs smoothly (without unusual noise) when I put it on its side on high speed. There's no way to fix the fan - you'd have to break it in order to get at the problematic piece.
Aside from its size, the main reason I bought this fan was that it was supposed to be made in USA. However, I thoroughly searched the packaging and fan but there's no "Made in USA" marking anywhere. In fact, there's no marking indicating where it was made.
The fan does not oscillate side to side and has a limited up-and-down range (adjusted by loosening and tightening a piece of plastic).
I can't say I recommend this fan. There's got to be something better on the market. I have old Sanyo fans that are more than 20 years old and still work perfectly. Any decent appliance should last more than 2 years.
