Worth the price.
Perfect to cool you down and for white noise for sleep. It's my second one only because I lost the remote to the first (remote is the size of the palm of my hand) and you can't buy just a replacement remote (trust me, I called everyone up to corporate manufacturers trying) BUT that shows how much I like the fan. Love the Gust of Wind vs Sleep sound options and of course the oscillating factor. Highly recommend just watch out for the small remote.

perfect
I purchased this because I had great reviews I'm really glad I got it I love the height my last fan was a little shorter but when I would plug it in the fan would not be able to reach over the mattress this one is the perfect height so when it's plugged in I can feel a breeze while I'm laying down sleeping it also is a remote which is nice the only thing I do not like about this item is that it shipped in the product box so when it's left at your door step people know exactly what is there and I am always afraid someone will take it. I have attached a picture of what it looks like dropped off at your door I really wish they would either put it in a plain box or cover the box so you can't see what's in there

    A sleek looking oscillating fan that works well.
    During the middle to ending point of last month, I had to have my AC changed out, but on a Thursday after work when I thought it was supposed to, I was called by my apartment complex, and it's not on them, it's on the company that was supposed to bring the new unit that I would not have a text until after the coming weekend on Monday morning, so that Thursday evening, when they called to let me know that, I ordered three different bands at the Walmart app, two of which were delivered Friday when I came home from work that I set up that came from a local Supercenter, one of those two I returned because it was a floor fan which looked nice, but was decently loud and had a stronger power to it even on the low power than I wanted so I returned that to the store, and the other of those two I keep in my room and it's an older oscillating fan with a circular head that is just about the lead level, but I keep it blowing just hold the body of my room, and the third one I had ordered arrived the following day on Saturday, one of my two days off, and I set it up and it's a nice, sleek looking Oscillating fan with five functions, including mode, and timer buttons, which I have yet to need to use, a power on/off button, a speed of air, power button, and the oscillating button, and whether I'm awake during one of my days off, and I leave my temperature at a warmer temperature to cut down on power usage, and it does work, whether it be during the day when I'm at work, or during a day off, when I'm home, I'll leave my ceiling fan in my Living Room and the oscillating fan that this review was based on oscillating back-and-forth with it even being on low power and he does but it's supposed to, and it does well for me. One minor little thing that may or may not be a huge deal to someone, but it's not a bad thing, is that there is a small magnetizable area on the top of the fan behind the main function buttons where you can hold your remote, so let's say, if you turn the fan on or turn the fan off and you leave, you can leave the remote on the fan and then when you return is there on top of the fan if you walk past it before going into any other room, and then you can turn it on if you want, but I'm just throwing those thoughts out there.

    Awesome little Fan!
    This fan is awesome! I am a fan freak, this is my favorite. The fan sits still and only the middle piece isolates, it’s awesome! Really blows the air around the room and covers a large area. Just got in to order another one. You will love this fan.

    Powerful and Peaceful
    Got this tower fan as an emergency due to A/C going out in central Florida. For the cost, it really pushed a large column of air and has a great ~160° internal oscillation so you can just put it on the colder side of the room through the day. The handle makes it easy to move from room to room, and gives you that instant relief from a hot day out (if you sit in front of it for a minute.) Really, as long as you find the best times to move from area to area, I keep my A/C off most days still because this does so well on its own for less electricity.

    Awesome!
    I love this fan! It's very sleek and modern! It's like the perfect size and it works really well! My dad liked the way it looks and cools the room so much he wanted to go buy one for himself! Recommend it for sure. I've had it for about two weeks now and I still love it.

    Nice fan with a remote
    I have never owned a tower fan but this one was much better than any of the round or box fans that I have before. The air output was strong but not as noisy as you would expect. The oscillating feature is great so this with the strength of the output makes it a great fan for the living room. The remote is a nice final touch. I will say that this is a heavier fan than I'm use to carrying from room to room so I wouldn't recommend it. Just buy another one of these for the other rooms.

    Excellent all-around!
    Very high quality unit. the 3 speeds are almost perfect - would appreciate a 4th...lower and quieter, for bedroom etc. The remote is simply perfect and the magnetic holder is so inspired! Very solidly built and would expect a long life. It was packaged so well too. Love it!

    Awesome Fan
    This fan was easy to assemble. It works great. It's sleek design can be used in any room. It is tall enough for keeping you cool while standing. The diameter allows it to fit in small areas or easily in a corner. It is sturdy and quiet. The remote control makes it easy to use in larger rooms.

    FANtastic!
    The Better Homes & Gardens 40 in Tower Fan with Internal Oscillation and Remote works almost too well. The fan can oscillate or be set to a fixed position, and there are 3 types of oscillating (natural wind, sleep wind, and oscillating). It has 3 powerful fan speed settings - where even low is pretty powerful. I have this fan set up in my bedroom and even on low setting I usually have to turn it off after a short while because it cools the room down so much. It also has an automatic shutoff timer you can easily enable with the touch of a button (on the fan or via the remote) with 4 preset times - 1, 2, 4 or 8 hour. Great feature! And as mentioned it comes with a handy, small, easy to use remote control which you can turn on/off, change the mode, adjust the fan speed, set the timer, and choose the oscillation type - so basically every function of the fan can be controlled by the remote as well. Lastly, this fan is very quiet considering the power it produces. FANtastic product all around!

    Powerful Fan, Awesome Features, Modern Design!
    I love that this Better Homes & Gardens 40 in Tower Fan with Internal Oscillation and Remote is vertical vs a window fan because it’s for our family room in our basement and we can’t fit a window fan in our small standard basement windows. The design is lovely and not at all an eyesore like a lot of typical fans can be. The color is neutral and will probably look nice for years to come, where as my white fans look worn down after the 2nd year even after cleaning them seasonally. My 13 year old son and I put this fan together in about three minutes. All you have to do is fit the 2 pieces that make the base together and then use the 4 butterfly bolts to fasten it. Easy peasy!! I also like that the whole fan doesn’t oscillate, only the inner piece where the fan is. I think this makes the unit far more stable especially for a space where my kids and their friends are always hanging out and horsing around. I feel like it’s safer. This fan comes with a remote control which is a nice feature, I’ve never had a remote for a fan but it will come in handy when lounging and watching movies so you don’t have to get up to change the settings. The biggest surprise of this fan is how powerful it is! I wasn’t expecting it to be so powerful—and quiet! There’s also a timer which is great especially for the spring into summer nights that can get cooler. I’m super happy with this fan and would recommend it to anyone in the market for a tower fan!

    Tower fan
    40 inch tower fan by Better Homes & Gardens is not an everyday ordinary fan that we used to see. It has a sleek and contemporary design. It is a very subcompact design by standards of a regular fan. It takes less square inches of floor space than those old fan designs. On the back of the fan, there is a vent that takes air in and out front there is another vent that blows air out. As with any fan these days, this one has oscillation motion which manufacturer claims that it is internal. The fan exterior always stays in the same position even when in oscillating mode, but there is a vent bar that goes from top to bottom of a fan that actually moves left and right. The fan comes with a remote control which is a nice feature when you want to control fan speed mode from a distance. The fan control buttons are located on top of the tower so this way you can see every button without bending down to check which button is for what. Top of the fan width is about 7 inches while bottom stand width is 12 inches and overall height is 41 and half inches. Total weight is about 10 pounds. Overall it is a very nicely designed fan.

    Great fan
    I love this fan. Its bigger then I was expecting , I have never bought a tower fan before. It is very quiet when on. It rotates back and fourth. It has a remote and yes the battery came with it. It is about 40 inches tall. Not very heavy so moving from room to room was easy. I did have to attach the base but it took a few min. It has a natural wind , sleep wind or oscillating choice. I use the natural wind. It has a timer display from 1hour to 8 hours. The air it blows out is a cool temp. The remote is a magnet so it stays right on top the fan so you dont miss place it. If you do lose the remote you can still program the fan from the disply. My fan is used a lot during the day and night and it does not feel hot like its over heating. I use the fan mostly in my daughters room because her room is the hottest. It keeps the room very cool. Very easy to set up. I love this fan

    Great Fan
    I received this tower fan free to try and write a review. When I received the fan, I noticed first thing that even though the box was damaged, the packing was really good and no damage to the fan is or has been noticed. I really like the looks of the fan, It is sleek looking. The controls are conveniently located on the top of the fan with easy to see buttons. The settings are handy. It can be set by timer to turn off or turn on. The speed settings are three speeds. I really like the oscillation feature of the fan. Instead of the whold tower oscillating back and forth, the louver portion is what oscillates inside of the tower housing. The included remote control is extremely nice and easy to use. Also, when not in use, if you want to store the remote with the fan, it has a magnet that conveniently attaches to the top of the fan without the need for a slot or hanger for storage. The remote also comes with battery included and installed. The fan really puts out a stream of air as well. We sleep with it in the sleep mode. It has normal and sleep modes. Just not as forceful on sleep mode, but very comfortable. It was also easy to assemble. Just the base has to be assembled. I hope that this review helps someone with a purchase decision. I do recommend it to anyone with the need for it.

    Super cool in many ways!
    This Better Homes and Gardens tower fan excels. This tall oscillating fan is great for cooling a room and works well in reaching higher areas such as when sitting or when sleeping. The features most impressive are, the magnetic area to hold the remote, which helps so it doesn't get misplaced. I also love the feature of the timer. If one wants they can set the fan to turn off after a couple hours as the night gets cooler. The cooling feature is powerful, yet not loud. It has 3 speeds, and an option to shut off the oscillation feature. The touch pad is easy to operate. Love it!
