Is this an oscillating fan?

yes, i believe it is. I don't work at the restaurant I bought it for, so I can't remember for sure.

No it is not. I love mine, bought it about 8 months ago. It is very powerful at low speed. I did not enjoy putting it together but I'm a woman. LOVE LOVE LOVE my fan.

Absolutely not. My fan makes a whooshing / blowing noise. A "white noise" if you will.

The fan does not have to oscillate,and yes it can stay in one direction. We have ours on top of a stove works great was well worth the money. I would buy a second one if we needed it

When you first turn on the fan, it will not oscillate at all; if you want it to rotate, you have to press a button to choose between 60, 90, 120, or 360 degrees. It's a good fan, I'm glad I purchased it.

It makes a whirring noise, yes. It is not, in my opinion, as loud as a large fan and other, louder noises, like a TV can drown it out some. If you are using it with no other noise happening, like if you're in bed or at a play or movie theatre, it would sound like "white noise" and could probably annoy the people around you. As an aside, moving the base back and forth causes a pretty loud "ratcheting" sound as well. That one's unavoidable and loud.

There is a setting to make it oscillate. If you don't push the button, the fan remains still.

it goes back and forth (oscillate). it also can be adjusted up and down. now be aware my fans bearings wore out aftr 3 months

It does have a button on the fan casing so that you can switch between oscillate and stationary.

Yes. It is an oscillating fan. Mine is very quiet and puts out nice amount of air in my large l shaped cube. It does put off a plastic smell when turned on. I really like it.

No.... the fan is stationary. The description of the fan would most likely have said if it oscillated.

Mystic-Buddha...This fan is whisper quiet and if it is noise you want, then get the portable double directional fans. One set of fan blades blows inward and the other blows outward they tend to be noisy.It's either that or turn the stereo/TV volume higher.The Lasko Oscillating fan is surprisingly quiet.Good Luck.

It does not oscillate as a regular fan does. The front panel in front of the blades can rotate if you set it do that. You can have it rotate clockwise or counter clockwise and this circulates the air.

Not sure, but I can say this fan is very quiet, very directional, and moves a lot of air for its size

Yes, you can stop the oscillation. My only complaint about this fan is that it is a bit noisy even on the lowest setting. But otherwise it works well.

The fan will has a switch to either oscillate or remain stationary. It does not have a switch to control the vertical tilt though.

Not that I recall but you can just buy some small o-rings to do that. It is a very quiet and smooth fan for its size and airflow but made of a light plastic.

This fan isn't necessarily completely quiet but I wouldn't consider this fan on the noisy side either, so if you want a loud fan look elsewhere.
