Tools and Hardware Reviews of Duracraft DY-012 Oscillating 3-Speed Tower Fan

Customer Review: Designed by idiots
Summary: 1 Stars

I should have read the negative reviews more closely. To save a few pennies they designed this to fit in a smaller box, therefore requiring frustating assembly by the user. The screws do not fit! That is if you are lucky enough to find the three tiny screws in a tiny bag in the box. I bought two, the first one was impossible to assemble, not only were the screws inadequate, but the power cord did not fit within the base. After an hour I gave up and packed it for return, very difficult becase there is way too much packaging (very unfriendly to user and our planet).

Instuctions are inadequate for assembly. Perhaps if they used bigger illustrations and somebody who speaks English to write them, it might be better.

The second assembled as designed, but is still wobbly on its stand because the base assembly is too flimsy for the height and weight of the unit.

Do not buy this, the second one is going back as soon as our heat spell is over..

Customer Review: Does its job
Summary: 4 Stars

this is a decent fan that does its job. it's way cheaper than other tower fans as it doesn't have a remote control or air purifying stuff or special "summer breeze" modes or other doodads. but it works well and does its job. i will concur on the wobbliness of it tho. when it is oscillating, the tower section does wobble a bit. it doesn't look like it is going to tip over, but it just wobbles. it looks more like those dancing santas during christmas time. one other thing to note is that it is nice and quiet on the first setting.

Customer Review: Does the job for me.I
Summary: 4 Stars

I bought the fan for on top of a speaker in my living room. The room is not that big and is connected to the dining room so it does a good job for me. I always run it on low the higher speeds are too noisy. I'm very sensitive to sound.

Customer Review: Does the job!
Summary: 5 Stars

Living room gets hot in the afternoon sun, needed help bringing the cooler air from the bedrooms into the living/dining area. Got the fan today, took 5 minutes to put together (perfectly packaged, screws included). Unlike other reviews, I have had no problems with wobbling, although I did take extra care to ensure both base pieces lined up evenly and tightened the screws down as hard as they would go. Plugged it in and it does just what it's suppose to do. Moves cool air into our warmer rooms. We have 1600 square feet of space, half of which is kitchen/dining/living not getting cooled in the afternoon here in the south. Not a problem any more. For our small space, it wasn't worth the extra $$$ for the remote control, glad we opted for this model. Already feel we got our $30 worth of value in this air mover, not having to crank down the a/c to unreasonable and more costly levels. Great supplement to the a/c for summer. And, it's quiet! Would recommend!
