I bought this fan a few years ago for around £40 and it still holds that price tag on a few internet sites that I checked which emphasizes the quality of this fan. The box contains 3 pieces of the fan (the main tower, front half of the base and back half of the base), screws to connect these parts and a power cord. There are instructions supplied, which I highly recommend you read first due to the somewhat strange way of positioning the pieces and the power cord. All in all though, it was a relatively painless experience considering there were only 3 pieces that required any sort of assembling, and even then it was just a few screws. Once all the ...  Read the complete review

@ About, Ease of use @ I bought this fan as an upgrade from my old cheap desk fan and i have to say credit where credit is due, bionaire have made a superb product right here. The ease of use is one of the best points - all the buttons have simple icons and logos that you wont need to get used to. Fr example, three bars for three speed, a picture of a head on a pillow for snooze and a timer logo for the timer. Done. simple as. The next best thing if you don't understand how to use this fan is the manual which comes in a wide variety of european languages and explains everything down to the smallest detail, even the remote control. Power was another ...  Read the complete review

I purchased this fan as a way of keeping certain room's cool for me and my cat's (they are indoors only) during the hot weather we have had so far this year. It took me around 25 minutes to assemble, it can be done alot quicker than this but i'm just not great and putting things together.

It came with all the correct screws, nothing to use to screw them in, but then most people (except me!) will have something to do it, i resorted to using a knife. It done the job. I started fixing it together, then realised i needed to place the cable through the stand i had already started to ...  Read the complete review

Those of you who own a convensional fan may not want to go to one such as the Bionaire but I for one would say that there is hardly any difference, if anything, purchasing the Bionaire is a step in the right direction. It has 3 speeds similar to any other fan and its oscillation allows it to cover most of, if not all of a room. It is a lot less clunky than a conventional fan and there is no fiddling about with titlting the head in the right direction because it is a tower fan. The sleep mode and breeze modes are innovative features but I feel are not as useful as the manufacturer states however, the timer allows the user to set an off time after 1, 2, 4 and 8 hours which  Read the complete review
