Just bought this fan and feels like it is binding when I try adjusting airflow up or down. Is this normal? Am considering exchanging.

it does take a little pushing effort but i think it's normal and i don't adjust it often. the company would know better than any amazon purchaser. i would call them before returning it.

Yes , The adjustment does seem to bind. I believe this is by design, to keep the fan from rattling or moving when not wanted. I also have the smaller version of this Fan and it is the same. I do really like the fan in the Florida Summer heat that I have to work in.

I love mine. It is tight adjusting the airflow but you won't want it loose to move on it's own. This is a powerful little fan. I have a lot of different fans that run all the time and the quality/compact size makes this one my favorite. Hope you will learn to enjoy it like we do.

The entire unit motor and all pivots so something might be lose. Ours has very definite clicks that hold it where you adjust it, and no motor change when you move it. We love all of ours, my daughter calls it "the quiet Hurricane"

I just have (1) and it does vibrate a little. I suspect all the 9220-20 fans will vibrate a little I almost returned mine but it does move air well. It seems the frame support is a little light for motor size!!

Chances are it pushes less air than you're default fan, at least it did for me . I was debating between a new card or new fan, i should have chosen a new card because I've had to buy one anyways

Hello again...I had mentioned I just had one setting for the air flow on the 10" but it appears a remote was to come with it to adjust the setting. Either the remote wasn't in the box or I threw it away without noticing it. Sorry if I misled you. You'll love the fan. It's so nice, neat, and clean!

Picked one up today and it does the same thing. They should at least mention it in the manual. I wasn't sure if it was normal. Apparently it is. Thanks for bringing this up and thanks for your follow up.

Mine does, either downwards or upwards, I don't remember exactly (haven't used it since the summer). It's because the adjusters on the side get a bit loose over time as the fan is functioning. It didn't bother me. It only happened after several days (very slowly, that's what I mean).

My room for the fan is about the same size as yours and I feel like it does a great job moving air, just as well as my previous one which was actually 48". I love how much of a smaller footprint it has and how much closer to the ceiling. By the way my ceiling is standard height. I haven't needed to use high speed yet.

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

Sounds like it's overheating, I had attached a fan to mine and it worked great.

I have the Hello Kitty model and the same thing happened. For some reason the fan gets misaligned even though I have it on a flat surface and it hardly moves. I called Crane and if you are under warranty they will replace it. I think it may be a flaw in most of their humidifiers, I have gone through 3 of them already due to the same problem every time.

I have this problem with my fan. I'm assuming it's from moving or repositioning the fan, since you have to pick it up from the top. It usually resolves itself if I turn it on and off and/or make sure the fan is aligned with the base.

hello my friend, off course, the fan is a spare part, so, you can change it easy, just remember to buy a 120 mm fan. (sorry for my english, i´m studing it yet.)

On the lowest Fan setting it's not too bad at all. On the highest, wow! We only turn it to the highest setting when we're asleep or not home, but we don't find that necessary very often. Traditionally, lowest setting works just fine for us.

I've only had mine for a few weeks now, but what you're describing sounds like a fan issue. From the looks of the internal pics on here (http://ecx.images-amazon.com/images/I/61A0j-QpddL.jpg), you'll likely need to remove the top cover to get to the areas where the fans are, as they sit between a coil and the heat sink. Worst case, they look like standard computer fans, so just replace them all with better fans.

Hi Chris. It has 3 fan settings of low/med/hi. So because of the way that the Universe works, a faster fan blowing over the heating element feels like it is hotter air on the highest fan setting when in fact this is merely just a larger volume of heat displacement. For the record, I have no idea if heat displacement is even a thing - I sucked at physics. But it sounds like a good enough phrase to try and fabricate to tell you that the there is no change in the intensity of the heating coil, just the intensity of the blowing job it is performing. I suppose it is possible that the dolt that wrote the description *might* have been trying to convey that it also has 3 cool settings as well. If you depress that button in the grip area the dryer's heating element shuts off for as long as you hold the button. So, by default you would have 3 cool settings as well since you can adjust the fan speed at the same time you have the button depressed. However, it is most likely the listing writer is just a moron and should never have chosen this as a career. I hope this helped.

Yes, I have the same problem. I have learned to work around it. I make sure that I turn the main switch off, when I am not using the fan. I will check the channel switch, as suggested by other users. It is a very good fan, I would not replace it.

I have not experienced this problem. I bought two of these fans and both have performed great.
