First, the fans are supprisingly quiet. They provide enough white noise for falling asleep, but no so much that they become distraction. (A set of Sony MDR-NC6 Noise Canceling Headphones wil block them right out if you're listening to music.) The oscillation is generally quiet. After a year of near constant use, I can only detect a slight rattle if I pay close attention.
Second, the fans have a very small, but stable, footprint. I hate the protruding legs on standing fans. The larger fan can stand just about anywhere in a room without a leg for someone to trip on. The smaller fan sits nicely on a shelf or desk. Mine sits next to my monitor at work. I also hate how top-heavy table fans can be. No worries with this set. I've yet to knock one over even after a few late-night collisions.
Third, there are a ton of features--or at least a dozen. The small fan has three speeds, oscillation and timer (1, 2 or 4 hours). The large fan has the same speeds and ocsicllation, plus you can set the timer in half-hour increments for up to 7.5 hours. The Sleep Wind feature let's you start the fan at one speed and it will periodically reduce its speed. Sounds nice, but I've never used it. The Natural Wind settings are supposed to simulate the changing wind velocities in the real world. I tried it for 15 minutes, felt like I was in a hyperactive version of The Three Pigs and have never used it since.
A great feature I didn't realize I would use so much is the ability to restrict or expand the sweep of the fan when it oscillates. When the oscillation is off, you can rotate the fan into one of five positions. In the middle position, the fan will oscillate with a broad sweep. If you rotate the fan to either side, it will restrict it's sweep to a smaller arc. I use this at night when I want the fan to oscillate, but also want to keep the air focused toward my bed.
Finally, the remote control. Why do you need a remote control for a fan? Why not! It's a remote! You sit on one side of the room and the fan responds to you on the other side. That's the kind of real power that makes you wish for a hot day. The remote isn't wimpy, either. It let's you control just about every feature on the large fan--the small fan doesn't have one--and there is hook on the side of the fan for storing the remote when not in use. My four-year-old son loves to play with it and it hasn't been lost yet. Something about the hook makes him want to hang it up.
There you go. Who knew I'd be so blown away by a fan.

We bought this set several years ago and they have been wonderful. You do need to clean out the dust to keep them whisper quiet and not to strain the parts, but you should do that for all fans. However, after my 3 year old decided to use at as a leaning post, she broke the main fan off of the base. It was also, obviously, out of warranty. It was a part that was easily replaceable, but it was not listed on the site. I called them on the 800 number and told them what had happened and they sent me the replacement part without any fuss or charge. They were fast and efficient and kept another fan out of the land fills.Nice to see a company that actually takes care of their customers without having to jump through hoops to take care of the smallest thing!

My review is going to be much shorter than the one in front of me.This fan combo works.
My wife and I have had it for a year and have not been disappointed by its output and ease of use. We bought one set, loved it so much that we turned around to buy a 2nd pair and couldn't find it anywhere. The were sold out at every place I checked. It took 2 weeks to find another one, and even then I had to time my visit to the local Costco to coincide with the arrival of the fans. They were selling out as soon as they hit the floor. If that doesn't say enough about their appeal I don't know what does.
The small fan is perfect for smaller spaces, like on a kitchen counter or on the desk in the office. We keep them running at low speeds during the day to keep our 3 cats from getting hot and they work great. When I come home I usually find 1 cat lying in front of the big fan in the living room.
If you're looking for a fan get this tower combo. It works great, takes up less space, has a great remote that is very helpful when you're on the couch and want to adjust it without getting up.
Honest reviews on Seville Ultra-slimline Fan Combo 2 Pack Remote Control
I bought this pair at costco about a year ago. The small fan died within 6 months, the bearings went out. The taller fan died today in a similar fashion. Up until their untimely deaths they performed quietly and powerfully. The only complaint I have is the short lifespan.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Seville Ultra-slimline Fan Combo 2 Pack Remote Control
I love this fan it seems to give out 'cool' breeze. It is quiet (especially after cleaning) and at higher speeds it produces helpful 'white noise'. The tall fan suddenly stopped blowing air (but continued to rotate) after 2 years of use. Customer service was totally useless no help with cleaning tips or how to open it up (need a small screwdriver), despite it being out of warranty or return period. (minus 1 star for this)I found extremely helpful information on how to open it and oil the bearings at . And now it works again.
PS: My model is from 2009. I didn't buy it from amazon.
