Can you access the fan? I want to reverse the fan and turn this into a small vaccum table and I'm wondering if I could do that.

Honestly, I don't know. So any answer I give would be out of ignorance. I apologize.

I tried this, but the fan blade seems to be attached to the shaft in a manner which makes it impossible to remove it reversibly. Pretty surprised by the design choice made here. Can't oil the damn thing either.

Not that I have been able to figure out. Certainly not easily. I wish I could attach a photo to show the backside of the fan. In the back there are four accessible Philips head screws. There is, however, a 5th made inaccessible by the fold-up base. I cannot see a way to remove the hinged base. Even if you were to remove the base, the wiring from the charging port and battery compartment (in the base) of the fan might be damaged if the blade casing were removed. That said, the blades are thin and I have a total of 3 of these fans, one for over a year. I haven't yet had a real problem with dust buildup on the blades. I'm very happy with mine.

to be honest with you when it was installed by my electrician he adjusted it. If I am not wrong there should be a switch on the motor to reverse. You should try this and see or read the instructions details. Sorry cant be of more help. It is a great fan and reliable. Great BUY!!

no you can not no fan controller does that you have to physically remove your fan and turn it around to get it to blow air in a different direction

Hi SLM, thanks for the question. Yes, the fan direction is reversible. There is a switch you can operate to do this. We hope this helps! If you have any other questions, please feel free to reach out to one of our awesome experts. Not only do they know everything, but they're literally sitting right next to their phones right now :)Hansen Wholesale1-800-201-1193

Joe, you can do it, but it will reduce the volume of air that it is pulling through. By reducing it may cause problems with the fan in the future.

If one were to place it on a wall with the back to the wall, the fan would have no way to pull air into it. In theory, you could mount the bottom on a wall and blow air sideways, but you'd have no way to aim it. If you need this feature, I suggest the Holmes model HAOF90-UC.

I just checked out my remote and there is NO reverse so the reverse is on the fan. Hope that this helps

It does reverse but I would not waste your money on this fan. It turns VERY slowly and hardly circulates the air.

There are screws on the back, looks like if you remove them you can access the fan. But there aren't any 'doors' for simple access.

I don't recommend it. The pieces come apart but some of the mechanism is in there and it will look messy. It's not a clean surface between the fan and light.

the store is not a guarantee! they will charge you a restocking fee to to return it. They told me it wasn't their problem.The product was not any better than a table fan. Good luck getting anything from Dyson.

Since my last answer I have found the following quote online: "I have the blizzard table model. Four screws, on the back side of the front panel, sunk in a lil' ways, release the front piece from the rest of the unit, giving access to the blades and everything else inside." My model has 3 screws. I got the fan apart, finally. I've already spent an hour on this. Cranky, but it can be done.

I believe that there is a switch on the fan itself, you just have to flip it to reverse mode between seasons. Hope this has helped

I think the air pump at a gas station would also work. This time I am going to spray it with vegetable non stick and see if the dust comes off easier. On my larger fan I left the screws out and put the fan back together with bread twistys. That makes taking it apart quicker.

When you extend the fan, it will pull all the way off of the base and you can then turn the base around and put the fan back on it so that the base is facing the other direction. So, in a word, yes!
