Negative Positive
Title: Bad packaging, loud, and smells
Review: Mine arrived crushed because there's no package padding (should be double boxed). I fixed it myself because I didn't want to return it, by bending it back into shape (it's sort of flimsy, so it wasn't hard). But, it's too loud for the bedroom even on low. And, it smells of an oil/electrical smell when it is turned on, yuck. I have it turned on outside to try to work out the smell (no, it's not rubbing or smoking or anything).I'm trying to replace a Holmes box fan that burnt out after years of use. The Holmes was extremely quiet on low, and had the added benefit of a rotatable angled vent that could blow diagonally from the window into the room at the side. Sadly I can't find a direct replacement for my old fan, and this one isn't going to fit the bill.
Is the review positive or negative?
