I received this fan in exchange for an honest review however it is taking a while to review it due to various issues. As with many things this item both pros and cons.

What I liked about the fan is that is that it is extremely quiet, even on the 3rd setting (high speed); which is a plus especially when you're watching TV. You can easily use this fan in a bedroom while sleeping, didn't seem to bother the kids and they don't like the noise, this one did not bother them. The fan, on high speed mode, blows air a pretty good distance and you can feel it easily about 12 feet away, but past that it I don't think it does more than circulate the air, because you can't feel it.

I wanted to also note that the display is nice is the digital readout is clear and pretty bright in the display is a decent size so you don't need to wait which was especially nice when my father was visiting and he read it he had no issue reading this display!

It was really no issue to put it together although the instructions left little to be desired and could have been written better. But overall it is a fan and it's not too difficult to figure out.

What I didn't like particularly about the unit is that it was pretty thin and it doesn't seem very stable, there is a strange smell that came from the unit when plugged on at first and I wasn't sure if that was going to wear off or not. It did seem to dissipate after a couple weeks.

Over all I really do like the fan even with its limitations I don't know that it warrants the price tag that it is being sold for however my house is small and I needed something then and taller than the normal fan that can move air around in my living room without taking up much space so for my purposes it's perfect. If you have a large area that you're trying to cool down you would need more than 1.
