Title: Need to work on quality
Product review: I bought my Holmes fan about 3 years ago and almost immediately had problems with it. The fan would stop while oscillating and would only start again if I nudged it - like there was a loose connection somewhere. After three years it died completely. I just stripped it down to see if I could fix it but the problem is in the cheezy switch which is a sealed unit that I can't open without destroying it. Power in, no power out :-(Interestingly, the mechanical quality is generally quite good but the electrical is poor. While I was in there I took a look at the oscillating mechanism which uses two plastic cogs that show considerable signs of wear and are very wobbly. Even if the switch hadn't failed I think the oscillating gears would have failed quite soon. Time for a new fan. Why is everything done as cheap as possible? This isn't a cheap fan.At this price it should have lasted longer and had fewer problems.
