Well, I got the fan. It's fine with oscillating turned off but when I turn oscillating on, I hear a rattle during rotation. Kind of bugs me. Is this normal? I'm finding I have to turn off oscillating and keep on lowest speed when sleeping unless I want to hear a rattle. Well, I got the fan.

This is not normal, no. Something not attached correctly. Mine is high all the time and it's whisper quiet.

No, I didn't have a rattle with mine. I used it until I got a new air conditioner, which I really needed up here on the second floor. Mine was not noisy like that at all either. I could easily go to sleep with it on.

mine rattled. I had to tighten the disc that says "blizzard" on it. Then it was fine and very quite, until my dog ate it. I will definitely purchase another one.

Just got mine and it's definitely not quite and it makes even more noise when it turns (and to me that's really unacceptable in the manufacturing). I was going to use it in my office, but will try it in my bedroom instead, since white noise in there won't bother me.

yes it is oscillating. great fan . we have used for years, one in front on dash of diesel motor home, one in bedroom ... had to replace one after many years use.

There is a fan and it is extremely quiet. The unit can be set to oscillate or operate in a stationary mode. It is quiet when operating either way. Please be aware that the size of your room to be heated is an important factor in determining your comfort.

If you are setting the thermostat it will click when it reaches the desired setting then click on again. Unless you leave it on the max setting which is 85 degrees, then all you'll hear is the fan but that's less annoying than the click on and off. The fan noise is low.

I have had my fan for four months and have not had any problem with the oscillation function. I do think that the manufacturer should stand behind their product.

i have the same problem as well, the fan is really noisy when in the mode of battery saving!

We have THREE of these fans now and though I don't use the oscillator much, I haven't noticed any clicking. I just ran each fan on oscillate and cycled through each of the speeds. It sounded seamless. No clicking at all. For those who have clicking, I would make sure the base is snapped . together properly and that the fan is on a flat surface.

The fan tilts both up and down...Do NOT tilt fan manually, use the oscillating feature to get to the desired position, then turn the oscillating feature off.

No, it doesn't, which is a little annoying as it doesn't remember previous settings, and it's very quiet. It will always turn on as stationary (not oscillating), and always on the highest fan speed setting. I've also noticed that I have to use the remote control in front of it, otherwise it doesn't always turn on. So I always have to walk over and check to see if it turned on.

It does rattle until it heats up to temp. It's normal but, depending on how much heat you need it to produce, it can be annoying.

Find the oscillating switch on the back near the cord. We prefer that it NOT oscillate as we love to just aim the fan. It is a great fan and we own two.

You can hear it slightly but I've noticed that it only gets really noticeable as the dust collects on the blades. Once you clean those off it's back to quiet. So, if you are looking for silent and wind I don't know what to say, but if you desire quiet and air movement this is a good choice, especially because you can turn all of the fans off except one if noise is the issue when you sleep

Ok, honestly, this is a very quiet fan. However on low, either with or without the oscillation, it is as quiet as 2 people speaking in a normal voice. For instance my TV at a 50 out of a 100, it matches the sound level. I use 2 of them in my room, when I sleep, and the sound level works for me. My alarm radio is more than loud enough to break through the sounds of both fans. It is not a VERY quiet fan, but quiet enough to sleep with.

When you first turn on the fan, it will not oscillate at all; if you want it to rotate, you have to press a button to choose between 60, 90, 120, or 360 degrees. It's a good fan, I'm glad I purchased it.

No, never had that problem. Sounds like you may need to send it back. Mines is not noisy. The fan is in the lid, but I have not noticed a real noticeable vibration and certainly it does not stop with the simple press on one side. Amazon has a very good customer service. Give them a call.

I might just be so used to it running all the time that I just don't notice it but I would compare it to a regular fan on low. It not 'noisy' at all. It doesn't bother me or distract me from what's on tv, I don't need to turn the volume up on the tv when it's on. Hope that helps.
