Sunbeam Infinity 40cm FA8900

2 years on and the fan is still pretty good! Only it's gotten louder now and rattles a bit. It also makes clicking sounds and squeaks when it oscillates, which can get annoying at times. It hasn't been dropped or mistreated in anyway but still started to get noisy. But either than that it's still great. I have it running for 24 hours a day sometimes on the hottest days and always sleep with it on. It gets me through the hot nights!

The fan itself works well and I quite like the blue light at night, although I can see why others wouldn't. It is quite noisy when you turn it up on a hot night but we Queenslanders are used to noisy fans.

What really annoys me is that I can't remove the cover of the fan to dust the blades without an extraordinary amount of effort. There's a little latch down the bottom which is easy to move but the seal around the sides is ridiculously difficult to move.

I have no idea how other people do this, it's so annoying that you can't just unlatch the front off like a normal fan.

I bought the fan today and it is currently 2am in the morning and I’ve been having problems with it all night. Like others I’ve had to come up with a way stop the light from keeping me awake by putting blue tack over it. The bigger problem though is a hum starting to build up more and more throughout the night, that it woke me up about half an hour ago and has kept me awake since then. I will unfortunately be returning this product back to The Good Guys and most likely buy a cheaper one, hopefully similar to my old fan that was cheap but quiet.

I agree with some other comments about the lights, they look cool but are very bright at night. An option too turn them off would be appreciated. I am a shift worker as well so when I come home at 3 or 4 in the morning and want to turn my fan on for a refreshingly cold night sleep the beep wakes up my wife. Apart from that I have had this fan for 2 weeks and so far find the quality build of this product to be exceptional. A floor standing electric fan is never going to be 100% quite but this one operates more silently than any other fan I have ...

The unit was purchased from Amazon and works fine. Only issue is the remote failed to work , rang Amazon, the remote was not available separately, they would send a complete new unit. As I had destroyed the box it came in I declined so Amazon gave me a $30 refund to my account

This is my second fan in 2 months . In both cases - The plastic rim ( holding the front and back cover ) broke apart releasing the front cover while the fan is in operation . The rim is of very poor quality . I would highly not recommend this with kids around .

Looks good and makes good wind but..
Humming noise from the motor makes it to loud for bedroom use, even
on the lowest speed
Figure 8 oscillate function is more like an upside down U
I wasted money on a few cheaper fans that were too noisy for sleeping
and this one is unfortunately no better, the best fan I had in the bedroom
was a 15 dollar special a few years ago.
other than that...great.

Purchased from Myer online for $143.65 with $14.42 shipping. Made the purchase at 10:30am, the fan was flown from NSW to SA and arrived at my house at 6:30pm. Very impressive. I agree with other reviews about the fan's great cooling power, ridiculous blue light and loud beeps every time you hit a button. However the motor, like a handful of others have noted, emits a hum. It's definitely not "whisper quiet" or "near silent" as Sunbeam say. I have no idea if this is just the unit I purchased, or all of them. The hum goes away when the unit is o...

A very sturdy and quality fan. It is quite powerful and has many modes for how you like the air to be blowing. The remote and settings are very handy. I do not find it too noisy. The one thing I dislike is the bright blue light - makes it impossible to sleep. We put dark sticky tape over it. Thanks to the reviewers here for helping me chose a fan.

It's a quiet fan and moves a lot of air. The round base is heavy and the fan is a lot more stable than a lot of other pedestal fans.
There are a lot of settings which we don't really make use of but they're there if needed.
The remote is very handy for elderly, injured or disabled people. The buttons are easy to use and suitable for people with limited dexterity.
One of these fans runs for about 95% of the day and night and has never skipped a beat and the motor doesn't get too hot.

Purchase date and price are 'guesstamates' and would be different as we have 2 of them.

Made this fan a lot more quiet by replacing the included clear 5 prong propeller with a 3 prong propeller from a generic dirt cheap pedestal fan. With the included clear 5 prong propeller on the low speeds there is an audible humm and it's quite annoying to sleep to. Replacing the prop the annoying humm completely dissapears and now makes it very quiet on the low speeds to sleep. I noticed the replacement 3 prong propeller also pushes more air so the lowest speed now feels the same as the speed 2 (2nd lowest) with the original 5 prong prop.

It...

This fan is great, nice and quiet. Excellent speed for the recent hot days/nights we have had lately. The oscillating modes are a good touch (infinity). Only problem is you can't turn of the LED lights and they are really bright. I've just resorted to tying a sock around it to block it out

I brought this fan today from The Good Guys for $149. It was easy to assemble, looks great, and I really liked the heavy solid pedistal base. However when the fan was on the highest setting it developed and high pitched whining noise, almost like a vibration. I disassembled and reassembed the fan, double checking I'd followed the instructions. The same high pitched whining noise came back when on the highest fan speed. On the lowest speed, the motor is also louder than I expected. Like other reviewers I thought the LED's are way to bright, they really need an (auto) diming function. This is such a pitty as I really wanted it to be good but sadly it wasnt and I'll be returning it and probably head back to Bunnings for a $50 Arlec.

After many years of buying Bunnings Moretti fans we finally got fed up with the noise, breakdowns, and general lack of performance. We looked high and low for a decent fan and found this one on sale at Myer. It is quiet, stylish and has three way oscillation as well as "breeze mode" and a remote control (not necesseary for use as all the functions are on the fan) Its not a cheap unit at $150 on sale but we'll be using it for years... not months.

Really attractive fan. Sturdy. The remote is great and contrary to what others say, the fan is quiet and covers a good area on oscillate. We love it. We looked at a variety of fans and this one was the best.
