THE SHORT ANSWER

Our take

RISE 40 is a model-identified tower fan with four speeds, an 80-degree sweep, remote, touch controls and a timer through 12 hours.

Consider it for

Consider it when a remote, touch panel, 80-degree sweep and long preset timer suit a roughly 39-inch floor tower..

Look elsewhere if

Not for a buyer who needs a verified current ASIN offer, exact 40-inch clearance or measured airflow/noise results.

Pros & cons

What could work for you, and what to consider before buying.

What works in its favor

  • The owner guide and retailer identify model FA1-0139-06 and an included remote.
  • Four speeds and an 80-degree oscillation sweep are documented at model scope.
  • Timer settings extend to 12 hours, with three-hour increments.

What to weigh up

  • RISE 40 is a marketed name; Lowe's lists the height as 38.75 inches.
  • The 3/6/9/12-hour timer offers presets rather than half-hour adjustments.
  • B08R6DQQZQ is not mapped to a current exact Amazon offer; CFM is retailer-listed, not measured here.

What the features mean for you

A named model with a roughly 39-inch listed height

The official owner guide identifies the RISE 40 oscillating tower fan, and Lowe's names model FA1-0139-06. The retailer lists the actual height as 38.75 inches and rounds it to about 38.8 in its copy. The '40' name should not be used as an exact clearance measurement. If the fan needs to fit beneath a shelf or between furniture, check the exact seller's assembled dimensions. The sources identify a black finish and an indoor floor-tower form. They do not establish the current Amazon offer associated with historical B08R6DQQZQ, so the model identity and exact offer remain separate questions.

Four speeds, touch panel and stored remote

The guide documents four speed settings and an included remote, with touch controls on the unit. Lowe's describes a magnetic remote-storage point and a handle. That combination gives the remote a place on the fan between uses and offers both panel and remote operation, without implying app or voice control. The saved source does not measure remote range or display readability across a room. These controls can matter to a buyer who wants more than three speed choices while keeping operation simple. They do not establish a cooling result, noise level or airflow advantage, and the review makes no hands-on claim about ease of use.

An 80-degree sweep and preset long timer

Lowe's lists an 80-degree oscillation sweep, and the owner guide describes how to start and stop oscillation. This gives the fan a stated side-to-side movement range rather than a generic 'oscillating' title alone. The timer choices are three, six, nine or twelve hours. Those presets suit a buyer who wants a longer scheduled run, but they do not provide the half-hour adjustments available on SPT SF-1521. The four models' numeric controls should be compared as listed specifications, not as proof that one reaches more parts of a room. No independent coverage or sound measurements appear in the saved sources.

Retailer ratings are not performance tests

Lowe's lists 120 V, 41 W and 245 CFM for this model. Those values are retailer specifications, not independently measured results and not a current-offer crosswalk to B08R6DQQZQ. The saved evidence does not provide a test method for the airflow field or a comparable noise result. The sources also do not establish a water system, purifier function, smart-home setup or room-size rating. A buyer can use the input voltage and power listing for a preliminary model-level check, then verify the nameplate on the exact unit when electrical compatibility is strict. Keep the distinction between a source field and a measured performance result clear.

Who should compare the RISE 40?

This model is a practical comparison for someone who wants four speeds, remote operation, an 80-degree sweep and a timer reaching 12 hours in a roughly 39-inch tower. HOMCOM 824-039V81 also has a 12-hour timer but is taller at 46.5 inches and lists a narrower 40-degree sweep; those differences affect fit and movement, not demonstrated cooling strength. Use the tagged RISE 40 model search and confirm FA1-0139-06 on the current item. Do not select it solely because the model name says 40, or rely on B08R6DQQZQ as proof of a current exact offer. The saved review is based on the guide and model listings, not testing or buyer feedback.

What else to compare

Compare HOMCOM 824-039V81 for another 12-hour model with 46.5-inch listed height and a 40-degree sweep; choose by dimensions and desired movement range.
