    The size is perfect for a medium space area. The fan is light weight so that its easy to carry from room to room. The fan works very well for a low price. I would buy this product again and I would recommend this fan to family and friends.

    I got this after my tower Holmes fan started making a strange noise. This fan is too powerful for what I needed it for, however it has good qualities: removable plug, stand feet, 3 fan speeds, lightweight. If you need a fan to help blow away things, this is the perfect fan for the job. It helps keep air circulating and cool down a room.

    Nice little box fan. Very good for the price. Does exactly what you need it to do. It's fairly quiet and does well to circulate stale air. Good quality buy.

    This is a noisy fan - it will keep you awake at night if you're a light sleeper, however, the humongous amounts of air that it moves is good enough to make you forget everything else. The vibrations are a little troublesome after a while, so you might want to look into some damping. Worth the price I paid for, though, so I'm pretty happy.

    Good Lightweight Fan for Small Area

    This reviewer received promo considerations or sweepstakes entry for writing a review.

    For a small room, it's a good fan. Moves air well, lightweight, and easy to operate. Wish the dial for blowing speed was on top, but otherwise a good fan for the price I paid ($9.99 deal of the day). For a larger room, such as a living room, you'll need two, because the airflow doesn't extend too far beyond the fan.

    I like that it is skinner than my old box fan, it sits on my window ledge nicely. Moves a lot of air in the room. But I don't like how the switch and plug are in the middle of the back of the unit. This makes the plug push against the screen and you have to pull it out of the window to change speeds.

      Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback. We do not recommend that you use our box fan in a window. They are not water resistant. We would recommend trying one of our Holmes window fans. holmes

    What can you really say about a box fan? This one does the trick, good air circulation, 3 speeds. I don't like it though that the speed knob comes off easily setting up a situation for a lost knob, and the cord unplugs from unit, which was odd. For $20 and delivery to my door though, I'm happy.

    The volume of air it moves from my window into my bedroom is great. It really helps to cool down my room quickly at night. The only small draw back is that the outer shell sometimes comes close to the inner spindle if the fan creating a buzzing noise from time to time.

      Thank you for taking the time to leave your feedback, it is greatly appreciated. We do not recommend using a box fan in your window. The motor is not rain resistant and not designed for this use. We do have great window fans available with front display controls and rain resistant motors. holmes

    A good usable three-speed fan. My only problem is the handle, which is hidden in the back of the fan. I would prefer it to be on the top, like a suitcase. Very reasonable price.

    If all you need is a basic, no frills fan, then you just found it! To hold cost down, all controls and wiring are directly on the motor housing. Three speeds, good airflow, not too loud.

    Fairly basic but does the job very well. I appreciate the fact that it is light weight and very mobile and not noisy. It has a three-speed fan and perhaps a slower speed than the present slow speed would be useful.

    This fan puts out a nice breeze. I like the fact that the cord can be totally disconnected from the fan itself, and you can store the cord into the back of the fan itself. The switch that controls the speed of the fan isn't on the top of the fan like the old fashioned one, it is on the back of the fan. I like this fan it is totally different from the older fans I've purchased in the past, I wish I had purchased another one for the price and quality of this one. I would definitely recommend this fan to friends and others.

    Perfect for a dorm room. Price is good quality is better than expected from the price. Only gripes are that the power cord is too short and that it's fairly loud. But it does move a lot of air keeping a room with no AC comfortable.
