Review: I'm a huge fan of this fan! - You're going to think I'm crazy but I own 6 of these fans. Well, technically I own 3 of the desk fans and 3 of the pedestal version but they're essentially the same fan. But, as with most consumer products, the features some people love will be hated by others. It just depends on your specific needs. One thing I think most people can appreciate in a product is its durability. I'm writing this review after more than 5 years of ownership, and can tell you that all my fans still function just as good as the day I bought them. My only complaint is that of the 6 fans I own, I think only two of them came with the required CR2032 battery for the remote (and one of those batteries was already dead and had to be replaced). It's a minor complaint that I'm willing to overlook given how great the fan is otherwise, but be prepared to purchase remote batteries separately. The reason why I love this fan so much is for the super quiet and gentle "sleep" mode. It's pretty much the only setting I use out of the 5 available. What I like about the mode is not because it's actually silent (fan noise doesn't bother me) but because the breeze is extremely slight. This is my preference for sleeping as I tend to sleep hot but too much air will make me cold. To this day I still haven't found another fan that has a setting comparable to the Rowenta. For me personally, this is the PERFECT sleep fan. But there are times when I do appreciate how quiet this thing is. And by quiet, I mean SILENT. I keep one of these in my home theater for when I get too hot but don't want a fan that makes distracting noise; I am AuDHD (autistic and ADHD) and have difficulty blocking out distractions and unwanted sensory stimuli in my environment. This fan does not overwhelm my senses the way others do, which is why I love them so much. I highly recommend this fan for anyone needing a desk fan. With 5 settings, this fan should accommodate nearly anyone: those who want a gentle breeze and those who want a hurricane in their face... Or both! Oh, and it's very stylish too!
Review: PRODUCT DESCRIPTION STILL LIVES UP TO CLAIM - 03 April 2023: This is an unsolicited, uncompensated 2nd review of the Rowenta VU2660 3-speed Table Fan with Remote Control. I last reviewed this same item on May 5, 2022. As before, I still rate the product with 5 stars for its quality and performance. Today we placed an order with desertcart for our second fan. I am pleasantly surprised to see that the fan now costs about 10 dollars less than a year ago. Today also marks the day that we performed our first cleaning of this fan. As other owners have mentioned, it is relatively easy to use a Philips screw driver to loosen the one screw that holds the plastic band that keeps the front and rear grill cages together. Next, like most similar fans from other manufacturers, there is a knob with a reverse thread which holds the fan blade to the motor shaft. This is rotated CLOCKWISE to release the blade. Then, there is the plastic knob (with a 'normal' thread) that is turned COUNTER-CLOCKWISE to release the rear grill from the motor housing. After cleaned the blade and grills, it was time to re-assemble the fan. Now here is where things got frustrating. After attaching the rear grill and placing the blade back on the motor shaft, it was time to align the rear and front grills and place the plastic outer ring around them. All this while trying to screw the two ends of the plastic ring with the one Philips screw. This seemingly simple procedure requires three hands, and a lot of patience. Virtually every other table fan that I have owned utilized simple clips on the outer ring of the front grill, making it easy to align the two grills. The manufacturer of this fan should re-think their design and do away with the plastic band with the single screw. Aside from the re-assembly fiasco, this is still a great fan and highly recommended. My previous review is shown here: Purchased this product from desertcart to replace a similar table fan, which had failed after about 20 years of use. For convenience, we sought out a replacement fan that included remote control capability. There were not many choices to choose from in this fan size. This fan, like the one it is replacing, will be used in our bedroom. It will be convenient to remotely control this fan from the comfort of our bed. To comment on other reviewers' comments: (1) the fan does require some assembly, but nothing beyond the skill of most people. The only problem encountered was with the single screw for tightening the front grill. It was difficult to turn at first, and it took a few twists to loosen up the threads. (2) some reviewers felt that the beeping sound was too loud when the functions were changed. One reviewer suggested pulling out the circuit board to disconnect the speaker. Personally I did not find the beeps too loud or annoying in any way. (3) Other reviewers complained that the retail price was too high. In many cases you get what you pay for. Yes, the fan contains a lot of plastic, but the motor housing is heavy and robust and appears to be of high quality. This fan claims to be "The Most Powerful, Quietest Fan" and I can readily attest to the validity of this claim. This fan is highly recommended for anyone needing a quality small table fan with the convenience of remote control capability.

Me encantó, lo armé muy fácil y está súper! En todos los aspectos, el aire es fresco, el material super resistente y pesado, muy muy bueno. Lo recomiendo bastante ! Lo mejor es que lo conseguí al 55% y creo que incluso a su precio original sigue valiendo la pena totalmente !!
