    Horrible humming noise, even at the lowest setting it makes a horrible “white noise”

    Too Loud

    The sleep / calm mode is too loud. I am not sure if the item is just defective or if that's how they work. Comparatively the other modes are quieter than sleep, which makes me assume its a flaw

    Sorry to say but that fan does not even blow cool air, is does not have enough power, or none at all. I could be standing in front of it and not feel it a bit. Worst purchase ever! I returned it to the store immediately.

    Decent air flow, but it definitely does not cool. After a few weeks of use, there is a terrible shaky sound coming from the motor. I can't even take it apart to see what's wrong because the locking mechanism is made of cheap plastic and is stuck to the stand now.

    I put it the fan together, and it seemed to work fine. Later the same day, when I turned it on, no air was blowing. It oscillates, but it is no longer blowing air. I didn't even get one day of service.
