Essential Home 16-Inch Oscillating Fan F1660
- Relatively quiet
- Removable front grille provides access to blades for cleaning
- Appearance is nondescript
- Prone to tipping
The now-discontinued Essential Home 16-Inch Oscillating Fan F1660 was relatively quiet, and the front grille popped off so that the blades can be cleaned. As with many plastic fans, the appearance was not an asset, but the price was low and reviewers say it worked well. Metal fans are usually more aesthetically pleasing, but they also a lot more expensive, and metal fan blades can be more dangerous than plastic. Although the Essential Home F1660 is no longer available, a similar pedestal fan, the Lasko 1825 18-Inch Adjustable Cyclone (*Est. $30) receives hundreds of owner recommendations at retailer websites.
An article from Real Simple discusses general tips about the optimum use of fans and presents an RS Pick in several fan categories. In this article, the Essential Home 16-Inch Oscillating Fan F1660 is listed as the RS Pick for pedestal fans.
