    Very stylish and matches my decor. The fan puts out a lot of air. Can be loud when adjusted to the higher speeds. Heavy and well built fan; it's worth the money!

    Well at the price I paid for it from Best Buy Daily Deals. you could not beat the price or quality. Previous customers were right on the mark with their reviews, nice, solid, Dependable and looks Great. Only kink was they shipped it in original box and the tape was coming loose. but did arrive in perfect shape. Hey put a piece of extra tape on bottom of box. but still give it Five stars

    This is a solid well made fan.I bought 2 and would by again if I needed another. As far as noise even at the highest while not silent is not that loud. It is one of the quietest fans I've had versus the amount of air that it pushes out. Usually I need a fan on high to feel a nice breeze, this one works very well at the low setting in the amount of air it flows out.

    I was going to get a larger floor model fan and found this one on sale at Best Buy. The chrome was too bright and shiny and thought the nickle looked nicer. The nickle almost has a brown patina and blends into any room. It has a 3 speed knob (with off) and an osoloation knob on the back on the motor. They are both made of plastic, I wish they were also metal. It pushes as much air as a 16 inch floor fan and makes less noise thatn a Paxxon I had. Also it has a screw so that you can remove the front grill for cleaning without taking the fan apart or breaking plastic tabs like box fans eventually do. I hope best buy keeps these items in stores as I recomend them to everyone. The home improvement stores sell a fancier one for twice the money that frankly do not look as nice in most homes. The quality is about the same.

    Good fan. Looks nice. Squeaked on oscillating mode for first couple weeks. Seems better now. Would have given five stars if not for this.

    This is such a great fan for a fantastic low price. It is so strudy, just like old times! It looks old but so functional. Three speeds and the high speed will run you out of the room. This fan is so COOL, no pun intended. You will not be disappointed with this table fan and I believe it will practically last forever. BestBuy comes through again.

    Nostalgic Metal Fan

    This fan brought back memories of growing up with metal fans, and, alas, no air conditioning. Powerful motor produces a torrent of air. Copper color is a great accent. Price was a big factor in my purchase!!! Turnaround from purchase to delivery was very short. Would liked to have bought one for my office! Would definitely recommend this fan.

    The BEST Fan I Have Bought as an Adult!!

    This fan is absolutely wonderful! It is just like a fan my parents had when I was a kid that has two speeds and moves in a half circle to circulate the room. It also tilts pretty much any amount of tilt you would want. I love the fan. Will have to get another one for other rooms. I use this one in my bedroom. It is perfect!

    I'd wanted a stylish table fan to replace an ugly cheapo box fan but all the ones I looked at were either very pricey or reviewed poorly. This fan is quiet (for a fan) and strong enough to move air around a 10x13 bedroom plus it looks 100x better than any other fan, especially at its pricepoint. I would buy it again and it still makes me happy to walk in to my room and see this fan rather than the big dirty plastic box fan.

    This is an amazing classic fan. All steel (well mostly, plastic knob) is just lovely, functions very well and super quiet except for the fastest speed, there is definitely that "whir" sound that all fans make on high but somewhat soothing, like white noise. Mine made a squeaky noise around 6 months but remember this is nearly all metal so this was fixed with some WD40. I will buy again soon for another room. Forgot there is a downside that I encountered. The front face removable grill is attached and secured with a screw that tightens it. This screw is very soft meaning when I tried to remove the screw to clean the grill I stripped the screw and now I cannot remove the front grill so please be very careful. The screw looks sturdy and it is but the metal it is made of is easy to strip.

    It does what it was made for.. It puts out a lot of air on low. I haven't had to put it on high as of right now it's sitting on a desk that's behind me in my small cubicle. I've been thinking about putting it on the floor. At least on the floor it wouldn't blow my papers around on my desk.

    This fan really is a retro experience. Brings back memories and it looks great. The product quality is excellent. Every setting works as you would expect and the air flow is great; almost too much on the high setting. Because it has a copper finish, it fits almost any decor. Does a great job in a 16X24 foot room.
