How hard is this fan to put together. I'm mostly concerned with putting the grill and blade part together, others I've had have been a BEAR .

YiYou don't have to screw the blade, its put together. All you have to do is tighenAll you have to do is thighthe blade is already put together and encased in a round metal protective frame, as shown on the illustration. All you have todo is tighten the top part to the bottom part, n screws

There is very little assembly. The blade and grill are already assembled in the box. You only have to attach the base and post. It's about as simple as you can get.

Dear G Y Cooper: According to my brother, who puts it up for us, the whole main part (motor head, blades, cage) has been already put together. He simply does the pole and the base, following its easy to read instructions. He said it's not hard at all. Hope this will help. The Vus

They come pre-assembled. You just attach the rod and stand. It's very simple...if you want a fan that doesn't work.

This fan is very easy to assemble; 4 bolts at the base attach the pole. Then install the pan housing on top of the pole and you're done. (The blades and housing come assembled)

The grill/fan is pre-assembled. You only set up the stand and place grill/fan assembly in its carriage. However this was the case when I bought this item previously.

On my 2012 if I remember right u have to cut the grill out...just unbolt it take it out and lay it down(I laid my on a blanket) I used a reciprocating saw n a dremel it took me about half an hour to cut it out, just take ur time..It is definitely worth it when you get done,even two years later I still get compliments on mine...If u dont think u can do it youself order it n take it to someone u trust it shouldn't cost you more than 60 to 70 dollars n as I said before well worth it ...Hope this helps u n good luck..

If you can follow directions and take it slowly and carefully its not difficult to put together. I had my seven year old nephew helping me for example. Even with his help it only took me about two leisurely hours from opening the box to rolling the grill out to the patio.

I'm sorry,but I did not put it together. I had a friend do it. However, from what I understand from him, it wasn't hard at all.

Dear C.A. Gray,This is the second one that I assembled.It would take 1 1/2 hours at a slow pace.Lay all the parts out and take your time.You will need pliers and a 7/16" wrench or nut driver.Not that expensive .You should have basic tools ,if not buy them.At first it looks mind boggling with all the nuts and screws.Don't let this deter you.This is a great grill,well made.I bought a cover for it.The instructions are good but if this is your first project,you still need to take your time.Do it in stages.Do it.

The "Assembly" is minimal...basically putting the stand together and adding the grill on top. I am mechanically challenged, and I could do it easily. Not a concern!

Once you use the grill it should fit a little better... Also put it together (Legs lock on the lid) while it is still warm NOT HOT just warm. The metal is not heavy weight so it is alittle (warped if you will). However, this is one of the best grills of its kind. It weighs less than HALF of the other grills of the same size. If you still have issues. contact Char-Broil and they will work with you.Hope this helps.

Not difficult at all. My partner has a trick.....when heating up place a piece of tinfoil over the grill and leave on for 10 minutes. Everything wil easily scrape off with a grill brush.

It's s NIGHTMARE putting that thing together! I'd highly recommend having a party with friend to get them to help. Tell them you'll buy them pizza or beer or what ever. Mine blew over the same day!

the grill is plastic, but you can paint it...I would just use a good shellac base primer first so the paint will stick well, and make sure not to plug the holes with paint...this unit really moves some air and you CAN NOT HEAR IT hardly at all unless you listen for it....Best fan I have ever seen or owned!!! I can fee the air getting sucked from under the bath door, where I have about a half an inch of space between the tile floor and bottom of the door.

The fans are good fans The ones I have purchased , which is 4 of them are not that load. The only issue I have is that the blade guards are cheaply made and do not always go together very well and I have had to zip tie them as a precaution. Hope this helps.

The fan is at our cabin, so I do not have it in front of me to answer your question. However, I believe the front grill is metal and the back grill is plastic.

I would love to help - but mine was put in by a contractor (on several tries) who said the fan/vent/heater was a b---- to put in, even with the special wall switch. I hope you get it figured out, because the fan/vent/heater is wonderful and I am glad I purchased it.

No. My husband put ours together by himself in 20 min. He said it's easy. By the way, we really like the grill.

It does come in pieces, but not an extreme amount, as the grill is relatively small. No tools are needed, just the instructions are mainly pictures. Took maybe 30 min to assemble.

I'm sorry, I can't help! My son put it together and if I remember correctly, it was a pain. Good luck!
