Blades spin opposite each other, how does this not cancel out air movement. We like feeling air from a fan.

The air flow is actually the best I have ever had and this is the 7th house we have build. It has great power and is very quiet. I absolutely love this fan. Just make sure you are getting a new one and the cords are all their original length. Ours were cut and the electrician had to get more wires to add to them. It is a great deal though!!!!

The direction the fans can spin easily changes with the remote. The two fans can have tandem or opposing spin. I've packed it away for the fall, so can't measure it for you. The details provided are accurate, I'd check there for dimension

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.

There is a thermal sensor *and* an overload (you put too much in and blades can't spin safely) sensor. Make sure you know which one is tripping. I hit the overload one a few times when I first got it because I overfilled it during initial testing.

With the pictured fan, none. Centrifugal force pulls air in from the center and forces it straight outwards. With straight blades the direction shouldn't matter. I have a squirrel cage fan blade with curved blades it works by the same principle but the curved blades would be more efficient in one direction. A propeller type blade would completely reverse the direction of flow if it spins the wrong way.

you don't have to turn the fan around. it blows in and out, also you can have one blade blowing in and the other blowing out.

Sometimes this problem can be fixed by switching two blades opposite each other. My fan only makes a slight humming sound on low speed which is normal and does not wobble. The only other suggestion I have for you is to make sure all the screws are tight. If they are not, this could be the solution to your problem.Hope this helps!

I found I had to hammer the fan blade onto the shaft (hurr hurr...shaft) that comes out of the engine. I think it has some markings on it to indicate how it is meant to be rotated. Once I pounded it on there it seemed to work better. Another problem is you may have the fan blade on backwards e.g. the front is pointing backwards. If that is the case, the blades will likely not generate enough forward facing air.

the fan blade goes to the right. if properly installed the air will come out of the back of fan. if you close the case and turn it on you must be able to feel the fan blowing, if not it is installed wrong.

Fans are made to run in any orientation, people have had the problem your complaining about though. Seems to be luck of the draw, the set I have didn't make noise vertically but I didn't use mine that long.

Is the motor reversible? Honestly don't know...and I imagine reversing the wiring hookups wouldn't work, either. If you're trying to suck the outside air in, rather than forcing the inside air out, wouldn't that depend on the fan blade design?

Yes, the way the motors are oriented allows for airflow out toward the walls of the room as opposed to directly down like a standard ceiling fan. Thank you, Michael H. Dan's Fan City

Perhaps you are thinking the bearings should not rotate. The position of the bearings are locked in place to guide the blade however the bearings themselves DO rotate when the blade is moving.

These blades are not reversible, if you need help locating fans that have reversible blades just let us know! :)

The unit itself WILL turn opposite direction - BUT the fans themselves will only turn one direction - if that makes sense! I also recommend purchasing the remote control - makes it very easy to use. Overall very satisfied with our purchase. A real head turner!

Yes, the fan does rotate even when not fully open, allowing you to angle or "aim" the airflow.

Well you can reverse the mtr however that does little for the fan effiency.You must reverse the blades for max effect blade pitch is important... I have tried it both ways physicaly reversersing the blades is the only I did this on the bench to see the affect.
