Positives:
• It has a beautiful design and colors.
• It comes with a remote control.
• It has 6 operating speeds.
• It has 3 air flow programs.
• It has a timer from 1 to 15 hours.
• Until they release fans with Wi-Fi, this one will be among the smartest on the market.
• It is the best choice for a bedroom because a) it is very quiet on the 1st speed, b) the screen light turns off after a few seconds, and c) it has an automatic shut-off timer.
• It comes with an instruction manual in Greek.
• Assembly and disassembly are very easy. The blades and grilles can be removed quickly, making it convenient for frequent washing. In winter, it can be disassembled and stored in spaces with limited dimensions.
• The plastic parts are of medium to good quality. They do not appear to be prone to yellowing.
• They made sure not to place a handle on the fan cover, reducing the risk of breaking the fan's neck if someone carries it from there (as is common with this type of fan).
• It has a heavy base, making it perfectly stable.
Negatives:
• Its price should not exceed 50 euros.
• The length of the power cord is the standard 1.5m. It is unacceptable to buy a beautiful fan for 70+ euros and have to place it in the room with an extension cord.
• The letters on the labels of the fan buttons and the remote control are in a serif font (the same as the Morris logo), making them not easily readable at all.
• Besides the poor font, the letters on the remote control buttons are black on a dark gray background and cannot be read unless you bring the remote control close to your eyes. (from photos of more recent models in 2023, it seems they have corrected the color to white)
• Batteries for the remote control (2 x AAA) are not included.
• The "beep" sound when pressing a button is very loud and annoying if someone is sleeping.
Neutrals:
• With the materials it has, it is exclusively for home use.
• The additional blade does not actually provide more air flow; it just impresses guests in the room.
• I would like a slightly larger diameter for the fan.
• I would prefer the bottom of the base to rest on silicone pads to avoid scratches on the floor. However, I easily solved the problem with adhesive felt pads, the kind we usually put on furniture.
• In the accompanying warranty leaflet, one page states it is covered by a 2-year warranty, while the next page states a warranty duration of 5 years.
• The combination of LEDs 1h, 2h, 4h, 8h for the timer may confuse some, but it will appeal to those who know how to count in binary.
• It has two plastic components that simply hold the pieces while they are in the packaging and may confuse you during assembly.
Additional comments 23-7-2020:
• I bought a second one, no problems so far.
• The fan can be controlled by mobile phones that support infrared, selecting the brand Pionner in related apps. Successfully tested on Xiaomi Redmi 9 with the Mi Remote controller app.
Additional comments 24-8-2021:
• After two years, both fans continue to work perfectly. One of them developed a noise issue during rotation, but I fixed it very easily.
• For those of you who mention that there is some noise when the rotation reaches all the way to the left, the cable going up to the motor has definitely loosened, causing it to touch internally at the top of the column. If you unscrew the plastic cover of the motor (7 screws in front and 1 in the back), you can easily stabilize the cable with a tie wrap on the existing plastic hook that holds it, so it doesn't slip, holds its weight, and doesn't touch anywhere. While you have it open, also clean the dust that accumulates inside.

• After 4 years, they continue to work without any serious problems, even though they are in operation almost 24/7 during the summer months.
• The noise issue during rotation has not reappeared after the fix I described in 2021. It’s good to check it, though, even if there is no noise, because another user mentioned in a review that the cable wore out and short-circuited.
• In one of the two, there was a reversal in the operating speeds 3 and 4. That is, 3 has the intensity that 4 normally had and 4 has that of 3.
• The color has remained white, it hasn't yellowed.
• Its price has increased from €60 to €90 compared to 2019.
Additional comments 18-6-2024:
In the year 2024, Wi-Fi fans have come out, such as the Xiaomi Mi Smart Standing Fan, so today I would head in that direction. A major drawback is the lack of a remote control with mechanical buttons, which are more user-friendly compared to mobile app buttons.
Additional comments 20-8-2024:
• The first fan broke down this year, in the 5th summer of continuous operation. Specifically, the blades stopped rotating freely. After opening the motor and cleaning the bearings, the shaft started rotating again, but after a few hours, it blocked again. Trying various lubrication methods (sewing machine oil, WD40, grease), it works for a while, but soon stops rotating. From what I understand, either the bearings or the shaft, or both, have deformed due to wear from years of friction. I believe that the slight deformation I observe in the blades of the two plastic rotors contributed to this, which affected their balancing.
• After contacting MORRIS via email, I bought a new motor for €25 plus €6 shipping. I easily replaced it, and where the device was heading towards the fan's paradise (recycling), it became like new again.
• This year, in the 5th year, the white plastic of the body started to yellow at one point.
