Summary: Very very nice
Comment: This fan is similar to one sold by Brookstone, but is half the cost. We've owned this for a few months and can't say enough nice things about it. Auto shut-off timer, various settings and works via remote. We've added the remote command to our Harmony Remote and it works fine. Very nice size and smooth operation. Highly recommend this if you are in the market for a new fan.

Summary: Cool Fan
Comment: I am a real fan of the Soleus FSH-40G. It is well built and particularly quiet for a 16" fan. Prior to purchasing this fan I returned another brand of floor fan that was too noisy, even on the slow speed. The remote control on this fan controls the 3 speeds, has a timer option, and has 3 occillate functions (standard horizontal, vertical & a mix of both). I would highly recommend this fan!

Summary: Amazing
Comment: This fan is amazing. It is a breeze to assemble (don't know why people had a hard time with the instructions)and the nature and sleep settings are ingenious. It's also very sturdy. You should buy it for the price alone, never mind the features.

Summary: This Soleus Air FSH-40G is FANtastic!
Comment: My wife and I have been using this fan in our bedroom now for the past week. I honestly don't understand the complaints from other reviewers about this fan being noisy. We find this fan to be quieter than any other stand fan that we have ever owned (and we have owned many). I do have a theory about what may be causing the noise they are complaining about (explained below).
The fan arrived from Amazon in just a few days. The box arrived without a scratch and upon inspection I found no damage to any of the contents. The asssembly instructions are a little confusing but it is honestly easy to figure out without any instructions. Six screws and washers attach the round, weighted base to the middle control section. Some have complained about the screw holes not aligning properly. Well I found that I had to have my wife hold the control module pole while I gently twisted the round base, at the same time that I installed the mounting screws. This allowed the screws to be installed without problem. Two small screws attach the fan motor housing to the extension pole coming from the top of the middle control section. The fan blade goes on easily. The only real challange I had was attaching the fan safety cage, which requires a gentle yet firm touch to snap the two halves together while making sure everything is lined up properly. It was after I had everything installed and the fan plugged in that I noticed that there was a layer of protective plastic over the Soleus badge plate in the center of the front fan safety cage. I pulled the plastic off and everything was ready to go (or so I thought).
I turned the fan on and played around with all of the settings. The fan worked extremly well and seemed very quiet, even at the highest speed setting. However, when we turned the fan on low, to run overnight while we slept, I noticed a little noise. It just sounded like the typical noise of the fan blades moving air. As I listened the noise seemed to get louder and softer without any sort of pattern. I shut the fan off and turned on the light. I ended up pulling the front of the safety cage off and it was at that moment that I noticed some protective plastic on the inside of the front safety cage, on the backside of the Soleus badge plate. If you remember, I mentioned that I had pulled some plastic off the front of this badge plate but obviously the plastic was wrapped around the entire plate. I just didn't notice that when I was assembling the safety cage. It was a little challanging but I was able to remove all of the plastic from the backside of that plate.
After re-attaching the front section of the safety cage, I turned the fan on low and listened carefully. The strange noise was gone and the fan has remained extremely quiet ever since. Although most of the components of this fan are made of plastic, it has a fairly solid feel. It looks very high tech and attractive. We love the adjustment abilities of the motor/fan head. Be advised, the platinum (silver) colored plastic on the base and control module scratch very easily. I put a fairly large scratch across the top surface of the round base by accident and it looks quite ugly. However, it is in our bedroom and nobody will see it anyway. Overall my wife and I would highly recommend the Soleus Air FSH-40G remote controlled stand fan to anyone looking for a quiet, stylish looking stand fan that has wonderful features, including an easy to use remote control. It is easy to assemble, moves a lot of air with very little noise, has just about any feature that you could ever want from a fan, and it seems to be built with quality components that should last for many years. The cost of this fan is not cheap but I feel that approximately $50 for a fan of this quality and performance is well worth the money we paid. =o)

Summary: Not as I thought
Comment: This fan is very cool, have a lot of movements possibilities. However, if you are locking for a fan to put in your bedroom while you are sleeping this is not the fan for you. It is very noisy because the slow speed is actually very fast.
Cheers,
