Product Description
With its broad grille, sweeping arc, and remote control operation, this 16-inch mountable fan from WindChaser keeps rooms cool and well circulated without taking up floor space. Designed for mounting to the wall or ceiling, the fan is controlled by a microprocessor that creates a steady flow of air or ebbs and flows with the feel of a natural breeze. In addition to its 10 speed settings, the fan operates in a fixed position or oscillates in an oval pattern for maximum coverage. A timer makes the unit even handier, allowing you to keep it running for one-, two-, four-, and eight-hour intervals. A slim remote control with a clear, readable face controls all of these functions, as well as the fan’s vertical tilt. Sturdy and quiet, the fan comes with a child-safe radial grille and whisper-quiet blades. WindChaser includes all mounting hardware, a three-year warranty on the motor, and a one-year warranty on all parts. The remote control requires two AAA batteries, which are included. --Emily BedardProduct Features

on 2009-07-03I purchased this fan (Windchaser OCWR 161) in 4Q2008. In less than three months the remote control stopped working, and of course you can't run the fan at all without it.
I have been trying to get a new remote control since April 3, 2009. On Friday, June 19, 2009, after numerous failed attempts to get a new remote control, I spoke to Mr. Robert Holzman, President/CEO of Windchaser Products, Inc. Mr. Holzman assured me he would find a solution and call me no later than Tuesday, June 23, 2009. I have still not heard from him or any other Windchaser representative -- they don't answer their phones and don't respond to emails.
My advice -- avoid this fan specifically and this company in general!

on 2009-06-27We purchased this fan to cool down our kitchen as it heats up when several appliances are on at the same time. We mounted it up high on the wall as it comes with a wonderful remote control. The high setting is awesome and I love the setting "wind" as it mimics a breeze blowing through your house. Love the fan and the remote control!

on 2009-01-19Sure enough, as predicted in others' reviews, this fan quit working after 1 summer of light use. The electronic chip in the fan is cheap and very poorly made. It burned out quickly, and unless you have the electrical know-how to bypass the electronics and hook the motor directly to the cord, you have a useless fan.

on 2008-10-05This is the second Windchaser fan that I have purchased. The first one lasted about 6 years. My kids use them in their bedrooms for circulation and cooling every night. The timer is nice if they don't want them to run all night long.

on 2008-07-16The features of the fan are nice on paper and it was easy to setup. I don't find it very powerful and the area it covers seems smaller than other fans I've owned. I would try a different product next time.
