Woozoo Globe Compact Fan by Iris USA - Review Demo & Maintenance Tips

Here is a compact but powerful fan, the Woozoo Globe. In this video I demonstrate it's air movement, how noisy it is, and how to remove the grill to dust it out. I think this fan is impressive for its size, and a great value.
For questions or inquiries, here is the Vac Tech email: [e-mail]

[@antonchekhov1814]

Great fan I bought on sale from Costco after my 14 year old Vornado died. I have it on a stool 16' from my bed at #4 speed setting which helps tremendously on humid tropical nights. Loved my Vornado but think this fan comes very close to its' quality so far. An added plus is the remote and 3 different oscillation settings. I may add that the back grill cover can also be removed to make for easier cleaning and maintenance.

[@VacTech1]

I’ll take a look at mine, and see if the back grill comes off easily as well! Glad you’re enjoying yours!

[@galaxywanderer]

I just got this Fan for my birthday. It's terrific. I attached the remote to a lanyard to try to keep it from getting lost. Right now I have the fan set on nature mode. It's interesting. Overnight I had the Fan set on the second setting. We're having a heat wave and I don't have air conditioning so this little fan is very very nice. I really like your review on this fan.

[@judithcoker8047]

I did the same thing with the remote! I knew the moment I saw that it had no hope of surviving if it didn’t have something attached to it.

[@galaxywanderer]

@@judithcoker8047 Very fortunate that they put that little hole on the remote. Was perfect for a lanyard. I'm really enjoying this little fan, I just wish this heatwave would stop soon.

[@fakasi]

I just picked up a Woozoo fan from Costco a week ago and can confirm that it now has a feature to turn on and off the LED lights on the base of the fan both on the fan itself and the remote.

[@lolaaguayo3134]

By the way the fan does have a place in the top back to store the remote. You just slide it in the provided slot! Very handy and it is in the instructions manual

Super thorough review. I bought one about a year ago and it’s been amazing to circulate the cool air provided by my efficient window ac. I live in Palm Springs CA, where it’s going to be 116 today. This thing runs all day and night in my bedroom. I bought another to direct air toward the rest of my house and it does the job very well. 😀

[@VacTech1]

Thank you! I've been using mine to help move air conditioned air around two rooms. Works very well.

[@jessicar4054]

Love this fan. Use the air setting year round. Thanks for the info on how to clean. Agree w the remote. The lights can be annoying but you can buy tape to cover it and it helps to find the fan in the dark if you need to use the remote.

[@VacTech1]

It's a great little fan. Tape is a great idea!

I just lay the remote over the lights at night where it sits on my bedside table. It blocks most of the light ,I also put a string through the little hole on the remote and tied it to the fan cord so I won't lose it. Just make it long enough to reach.

[@Prissyb45]

The lights can be turned with the remote as well as by holding down the speed button for a few seconds.

[@VacTech1]

I will try that! This fan has been updated with extra QoL features, like a storable remote on newer versions. Hope you like yours!

[@judithcoker8047]

This is a great review and I agree with everything you said. My only problem is after only a month of use it’s starting to get a funny noise. Like there’s something inside so I will clean as you demonstrated And hopefully that will take care of it. Also the LED lights are a major bummer because in my small room it makes it extremely bright so I have to cover it up at night and I’m not able to use the remote obviously when it’s covered. Otherwise I really like it.

[@VacTech1]

Thanks for watching! I hope you're able to remedy the noise on yours. If not, I would contact Iris USA and take advantage of the long warranty.

Read directions: Press and hold breeze button 2 seconds to turn LED off. Press any button to turn LED on.

How to open the 4 pins are very hard... Help

On mine there's screws on the rear grille that you remove and then those 4 clips push inward towards the center, to get the front fan grille to pop out. They may have updated it though.

It is, if nature mode is on. When that mode is running, the fan speed fluctuates.

That's the very Bad part about the fan. It did not start off that way. It was nice and quiet. The only way to achieve that now is to have the fan idle...without oscillation.

The battery tray will need to be installed completely and correctly for the remote to work. Make sure the battery itself is facing the right way (not upside down). Really you just need to have the remote pointed at that black window on the front of it. If a new battery doesn't work, I would contact Iris, and have them replace it under warranty.
