SPT SF-16W81 Wall Mount 16" Fan with Remote Control

Excellent fan. Functions perfectly. Speeds: > low > medium > high > random (mix of above three speeds) Rotations: > still (no motion) > side-to-side > in-and-down > random movement (up, down, left, right) Not even considering the timer options... between the speed and rotation options, there are at least 16 combinations of settings—love it. The fan is moderately heavy. I can’t imagine mounting it in drywall with the tiny screws and drywall anchors with which it comes. I opted to use some longer decking screws, angled sidewise into a wall stud. Not pretty, but it is not seen once fan is mounted. Very solid/no vibrations. (See photo) Was delighted to find this in black, in this size, wall mountable—not an easy task. Sound doesn’t seem quiet, or, overly loud. Perfect white noise for sleeping on low. The front grill has a quick-release latch (held shut with one small screw. Excellent idea for easy-access, periodic cleaning/.dusting. Only one, small issue— the remote has to be pointed nearly dead-on-straight at the fan for it to receive signals. When the remote connects, however, the remote controls are excellent and can do anything the main fan control panel can do. I’d buy this again and also recommend it. g.

Fantastic. Looks good. Works great!

Well, it lasted almost 2 years in my sunroom, running regularly 3 seasons per year. I loved the figure 8 movement. It is a small fan, so it is a bit underpowered for a sunroom, but works great to distribute both heat in the winter and bring a little air in the spring and fall. Super easy to install, looks good. When it finally did give out, it was on the horizontal movement. It still works fine going vertically. I am planning on replacing it with the same model.

Just about 4 years old and still going strong! The remote can be a little finicky angling to work controls(maybe because we have the fan pointed down to its full extent.) The fan is amazing and I highly reccommend this easy to mount wall fan! The back is open and its easy to dust and clean keeping the motor free of debri. Ive never moved it nor diassembled it and its still like new! No more tripping on a floor fan base or having to adjust the position manually as it is ALL in the remote. Im really really happy with this fan!

I was nervous about buying this because of some of the negative reviews, however, the good reviews pushed me to go for it. So far, so good. Installed it on my back porch to blow the grill smoke out and to keep us cool on hot days. The remote is great and the fan works very nicely. We can feel the fan from a good 10 feet away. The only thing I really have to complain about is the fact that is had too many modes. But I can live with that. Super easy to install and it's a great product.

I can’t dislike it yet, just started using the fan because the weather finally started warming up!!! But I did post a video. I’m using mine outside, It’s quiet that’s for sure and it pumps some good air.

Our older fan had an accident and would no longer oscillate. So when it came time to order a new one, I looked for something similar. This one though is awesome, it was easy to install, the remote is great for my team to use, since it is installed at a height not easy to reach, and it oscillates in various directions which honestly is nicer than a fan blowing all my documents on EVERY pass through. It's the small things, but this one has nice options in speed and rotation that were above my expectations. I was pleasantly surprised.

We purchased this because my fiance and I both require fans to get a good night's sleep and we were tired of box fans sitting on our night stands as we don't have a great floor space for a taller fan that can sit on the floor. We did a couple weeks worth of research and landed on this one. Between the style, the price, and the remote, we thought it was the best fit. Installation is fairly simple. Besides my old man I'm more handy than most people I know, so mounting to the wall wasn't a problem. I do recommend getting your own wall anchors. The ones that come with it are cheap and, although they may work, I didn't trust them holding well. I recommend using something like the WallClaw Anchors. A quick search in Amazon will take you there, or you can pick them up at your local Lowe's or HD. Follow the simple installation instructions and these bad boys will hold up a surprising amount of weight. All you need for installation is a hammer, which is usually a more commonly found tool than a drill with the proper size drill bit to create the hole for the supplied anchors. There's a video on YouTube of someone testing the WallClaws out and they withstand more than 90 lbs of force. Pretty sweet! Anyway, I digress. I got the fan bracket mounted and started to assemble the fan. Here's where I ran into my first headache. You know how on most fans the "brackets" that hold the front grille are attached to the back grille and it either has some clips you push the front grille into to hold or there maybe some tabs you push in place or something to that affect? Well, this fan doesn't work like that. The back grille, the front grille, and the bracket that holds them together are all separate. You may think this doesn't seem like a big deal, but it was a PITA to get it lined up correctly. You have to install the back grille, push the bracket onto the back grille but make sure you don't push it on too far or you'll cover the clips for the front grille, then attach the front grille. Done, right? Nope. Getting this circular bracket on the back grille properly with the clips sitting correctly was a hassle. Then, once everything is in place, you have to push in a clear plastic clip at the bottom and then take a tiny screwdriver to hold that clear bracket in place. My fiance fiddled with it for about 5 minutes before giving up, and I poked fun at her for her struggles until I took over. I quickly understood and got a good ribbing back once my man brain tried handling it. I got it done in about 5 minutes, but every other fan I've purchased that I can think of the grille assembly only took 30 seconds tops. Lemme pull out my calculator here, annnnnnd yep, 10 times longer to assemble the grille than any other fan I've bought. It's assembled now so all good, but I can only imagine the swear words and flying objects I'm going to hear from the bedroom the first time my fiance has to disassemble that thing to clean the blades of dust. There's no way you'd be able to clean this fan without taking it off the wall as removing the front grille will undoubtedly cause the whole thing to need adjusted and reinstalled so the product design is really lacking here. I foresee this task falling on my lap; the cleaning of the blades, that is. OK, so after we tackle the final assembly and get the fan installed and plugged in (I ran a power outlet up the wall to the fan so the cord wasn't hanging down on the wall - fiance approved), I get the remote out and am excited to test this bad boy out. Click....click.....click......click.......clickclickclickclickclick......nothing. OK, let me try the controls on the fan itself. Boom, turns right on. OK, so the remote is the problem. Check the batteries, installed correctly. Check the IR sensor on the remote with the camera (for those that don't know, if you aren't sure if a remote it working correctly or not you can point the sensor right at the camera on your phone and if you see a blinking light, that means it's working), and we are functioning as we should. A bit perplexed, I thought maybe there was a cover on the sensor that's on the body of the fan. Alas, there is not. So then I start doing the snake arm dance. You know, the one where you are shooting the remote signal from all heights and angles, ninja style like James Bond in a silo plucking his enemies off one by one. Finally, boom! A response! I finally figure it out...you have to be no more than 3 ft from the body of the fan and be at the same level of the sensor for the remote to function correctly. FANTASTIC. The fan remote is useless. What's the point of having a remote if you have to be standing right at the fan in order for it to work??? The whole point of purchasing this fan, besides the wall mounted feature, was to be able to control it from bed with the remote. Not going to happen with this bad boy, however. All and all it's a sharp looking fan and we aren't going to return it, but the design could definitely be elevated. I'm not sure if it's a lack of product testing or maybe we have a faulty sensor, but between the bracket issues and the remote there are definitely things left to be desired. TLDR: Pros - Style is nice, fan moves air well, multiple oscillating options, appropriate fan noise for sleepers who need that, wall bracket is sturdy Cons - Grille installation method is an extreme headache, wall anchors are junk, remote doesn't work unless it's at an exact angle and close enough to the fan that you can just use the controls on the body of the fan Will update in a few months once we get some real use out of this. It will run nightly for 6-8 hours so we'll see how well it works over the course of a few months and see if it's worth it.

Fan works great. Use it in the screen room.

Facile à assembler, peu bruyant et efficace!

Installé dans la salle d'entraînement et c'est impeccable. Beaucoup mieux qu'un ventilateur sur pied.

Very easy set up, nice settings, remote works wonders

Pas très content trop bruyant
