An oscillating fan with remote is a modern day creation for those that want to control air speed and fan functions remotely. In addition to controlling speed, a remote controlled oscillating fan may also be powered on or off and some models also include a built in light.
I personally do not have a need for an oscillating fan with remote, but I do know a couple of people that own one. Especially for those that like to read in bed, these oscillating fans can be useful and offer the convenience only found with a remote control. It's not that these people are lazy, but rather that they have harnessed modern day technology to make life simplier.
Surprisingly the cost of a remote control oscillating fan is not that much greater then an ordinary fan. And most major fan manufacturers produce remote fans including Lasko, Holmes, Honeywell and without surprise Hunter.
