    I purchased this product hoping for a strong fan that I can use at night that wasn't going be too loud. Unfortunately, after owning this fan for a few months, its become creeky and I can hear mechanical grinding from inside the gear compartments. Its really a bummer because I enjoyed how strong this fan was without compromising noise until this issue.

    Good sized fan that moves a fair amount of air

    This is a good sized fan that moves a fair amount of air. Setting it up went fairly smoothly and only took me ten minutes or so. I will warn that the fan had a very VERY strong odor when I first unboxed it. It took the better part of a week to fully fade. Most of the fan is made of plastic, but there is a heavy metal plate in the base to keep it from tipping over. This is a very nice touch. The stand is a little finicky though. I struggled to get it secured in such a way that it would stay up. I found that the fan was very quiet when turned on (albeit not completely silent), and it moved a fair amount of air. On its highest speed, it did a fair job of cooling a good-sized living room. The fans control buttons are located just below the blades of the fan. There are 3 speeds and a power button. I'm not thrilled with this design choice as it means that you have to dodge around the oscillating fan blade assembly to turn the fan on and off or to change speeds. Placing the buttons at the back of the fan (or having a remote) would have been more convenient. Overall, I'm very happy with this fan; and I think that it will work well for my needs.

    Overall great fan, only draw back is no remote and I’m too lazy to get up to change the speed but still great even if it’s level 1 fan speed.

    Good Cooling Option / Efficient

    So with the summer months coming, and energy prices going to be high... Fans like this are good options to have, and this one fits the bill. Takes about 10 or so minutes to assemble, if you have assembled a fan before maybe even less. And after that, it is plug it in, and turn it on. Adjustable height option with the rotating lock on the shaft, and you can move the fan up and down. At the lowest level, it is at chair level height... at the heights, give or take standing height. So depending on where you use it and your needs you can adjust. Multi button control right on the fan, so you can pick one of 3 speeds (and off). Tilt option on the head so you can angle it just a little more if the height adjustment isn't right. And motion option, to keep it locked, or let it rotate about 160 degrees left to right... to cover a wider space. Good sized base, but not that heavy... so be a little cautious with it being bumped and knocked over especially if you have pets. Overall a good inexpensive option, to move the air in your space. No over the top frills. You can easily add a smart plug to this, to give you that remote on/off option that is not built in.
