Fan is very powerful and stylish to boot. Well built, compact and has 3 speed settings for ideal comfort depending on size of room or distance of fan location. Deal of the day purchase so a bargain for me. Highly recommend.

This fan is the greatest and if my other fan breaks I will buy one of these to replace it. The look is very unique and high end. The function is fantastic- on the low or high setting it blows a lot of air and is noisy enough without being disturbing. Fantastic for the price and good quality. It also seems to collect less dust even though I use it daily- I haven't cleaned it since my purchase over a month ago. Not heavy either but substantial so it won't tip over. I hope Best Buy keeps this exclusive item.

I bought 2 of this fan when they were on special this winter. Now that it's hot, I finally have put them to use. This is a very attractive fan to look at, but when I turned it on, I couldn't believe the efficient air that was produced. I sleep with a fan on every night and at the lowest speed I get more wind than any of the cheap models I've bought through the years. I'm so glad I bought 2 of them.

This fan puts out quite a bit of power. So much so, that I usually keep it at the 1st setting. It's pretty quiet, as well, which is an added bonus. I bought four of these to place in different rooms. I like the look of them, as opposed to the typical white or black option. Two cons to the purchase: (1) they are not energy star certified and (2) they don't adjust/tilt up or down as much as I had hoped.

This fan is quiet, has a nice finish and puts out a lot of air. If you want copper it does not really have that much copper look in the finish but the hint of copper is there. It is not heavy but that can be a good thing if you like to move it from place to place.

Purchased on sale on line. Delivery was as fast as promised. This fan performs really well. Puts out plenty of air, is very quiet and does a great job of cooling the room. I purchased for a study and the look and the beautiful copper finish fit right in with the room. Size is perfect for a limited space but puts out a big air flow. I have ceiling fans that don't do as well. Great value for the price.

If you are looking for a fan that gives a light breeze, then this is NOT the fan for you.
However, if you want something that will cool you down pretty much immediately...buy this.
It is extremely sturdy & stylish and really does pack a punch.
I bought 2 and got them half off and feel it was worth every penny; although full asking price is a bit steep if you ask me.
The only downside to this fan is it does not have much tilt action to it. There is absolutely no downward tilt, but it can be angled upwards a bit. Note to self, it is not the quietest thing in the world. I wouldn't say it is overbearingly loud, just not silent.

Like the appearance of this fan and it moves a lot of air which makes the room more comfortable in the summer. Noise level is great for sleeping.

I discovered this fan on sale last summer, but it was sold out when I tried to order it. This year I managed to snag both one in silver and one in bronze. They are great looking, I love the retro look. They really circulate the air around and they are not too loud, not too soft. Perfect!

This is simply a great fan. It's metal instead of cheap plastic. It's sturdy so it won't fall over if you barely touch it like a plastic fan would. The 3 speeds are just right and the low speed which I use most often is pretty quiet. On top of everything else, it looks cool.

This fan has a beautiful brushed copper finish and was a great price...basically 1/2 the normal retail. It's very solidly built and has a heavy duty cord. Oscillates and has 3 speeds. I couldn't be more happy with it...

Very well made fan, heavy and sturdy, the way they used to make them. This fan is quiet and moves plenty of air. It would be a good value at twice the price. Excellent product.

Very good fan. It has an old-fashioned look to it with the metal blades and moves a good amount of air. If you want something for a mid sized office or room and are not going to have it blowing in your face (a little too much air for that) this is a great choice.

This is a great, compact fan that blows a lot of air on all 3 speeds. Base is a little heavy but still a great fan with a lot of power.

I've made the mistake of buying flimsy, plastic unassembled fans that fall apart easily and usually stop working after one season. This one is all metal, sturdy and attractive...worth buying.

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!
