    It's so cool in looks. I like to decorate my table with vintage style. It suits to my looks. It's compact n occupy less space. N covers the whole room.

    Love the antique look of this fan; have another similar taller fan and was thrilled when I came upon this fan in my My Best Buy email! I placed it in a small bedroom and it moves the air around beautifully!

    I'm extremely happy with the quality of this fan. It's not easy to find metal fans like I had in my room as a child. Other reviewers mention the noise-and it is fairly loud. But it's white noise, which is awesome for my tinnitus. Other sounds, like frogs and rain, haven't had the same effect as the familiar sound of a metal blade fan. I chose to pick it up at the store, and the box was crushed and had been opened, checked, and re-taped by BB employees. I asked if it could still be returned if I had a problem with its operation, and the young attendant rolled her eyes and said, "It's only a fan!" I'm thinking, Yep, with a motor that relies on intricately moving parts. I almost left it there at that point, but I'm glad I ignored the help and brought this home. It has a small footprint, looks nice, and I think it has more forceful airflow than my ceiling fan. But it's great, even on low, for my intrusive tinnitus that keeps me awake at night.

    Powerful Fan

    I ordered 3 of these on sale in the copper color online. The color wasn't anything like I expected. Much more of a muted antique brownish color . I was surprised at how powerful this little fan is. It really puts out the air and that's exactly what I wanted unlike the little personal fans I've been using. I wish it came with a remote, but I can live without it. I'm going to use one on our patio this summer not only for keeping cool , but it will blow the mosquitos away during the evenings upping our enjoyment being outside. I highly recommend this little fan especially if you live in a small house or apartment and need something that doesn't take up a lot of space, but still need lots of air too keep cool

    I ended up buying another one for our spare room. It's a smaller fan but don't let that fool you. It's not too loud and the air it blows around is just perfect. I've always had my fans on high and I only need this one on the lowest speed. Great find.

    Excellent product, great price, fast shipping, easy assembly. Doesn't get much better than that!!l The fan is pretty cool looking (chrome - shiny silver), and it is solid metal...no cheap, cheesy plastic that warps, flops around, and breaks easily. It has 3 quality speeds that does the job perfectly. I bought 2 fans, for each daughter to use bedside (they both have loft beds and heat rises...) They work perfectly. Neither has to worry about the other and have their own personal comfort level. Excellent product for and even better price!

    We bought this fan for use in a bedroom that needed circulation. The three speeds and oscillating function were just what we were looking for. We didn't expect it to look as sharp as it does. It is both solid and substantial, unlike many cheaper, plastic fans. We got it on sale, which made it even better.

    This is such a great fan I bought it twice. And just in time for a horrible heatwave. It's small, powerful, stylish, and most importantly, IT WORKS. Seriously, if you need airflow and have no a/c, I recommend getting yourself one of these.

    I absolutely LOVE this fan! I was looking for a retro style fan small enough to place on my kitchen counter or buffet that would also match my kitchen decor, I got the stainless steel fan. My kitchen is fairly large so I needed it to be powerful and this fan certainly is. The fan is sturdy and has a good weight to it so it doesn't move or vibrate even on the high setting, that high setting IS powerful. All 3 settings work great but due to how powerful it is the low setting is what I use most. I read in other reviews that some said it was too loud but I don't think so, it's a fan so it will make noise. I get so many compliments on this fan and it looks great in my kitchen and matches the stainless steel appliances perfectly. When I placed my order Best Buy said it'd take 5-7 days but I got it the next day! How's that for speedy service!

    Excellent fan, puts out a lot of air and looks very stylish. Well made and worth the little extra money. This is not a mini desk fan so if mini is what you are looking for this is not the fan for you. You can't get this kind of power in a mini fan. Love, Love, Love.

    Great quality and a great price on sale for $30. Not sure I would pay $50 but it pushes a lot of air, the angle is adjustable, it oscillates and looks good. Not much more you can ask from a fan...the true test will be to see how long it lasts, that's the only reason I didn't give it 5 stars.

    I was looking for a tabletop fan for a room that constantly seems to get hot, and this fan delivered. I originally purchased a different table top fan and had to return it because the blade was the size of my fist and it delivered no power (it even cost more!), the exact opposite of this one. This fan is STRONG. The airflow is amazing. It's a bit on the loud side and the only downfall is that even it's low setting is still super powerful, but I guess that just speaks to how great this fan can be. I managed to get this on sale for $20 but had I known how amazing it was I wouldn't blink an eye at paying full price.

    Great fan! I like the retro look and the sturdy metal construction. It blows plenty of air. I usually just keep it on the 1st. speed setting. On the 3rd setting it can get a little noisy, but blows lots of air. I keep it on top of the kitchen island to circulate air around the kitchen/dining/living room area. It's degree of oscillation is really good. The fan came fully assembled. I just took it out of the box and plugged it in.

    This fan is so great that i purchased 3 for my house and one for my father in law who fell in love with it when he came over. It is the perfect size to keep anywhere and throws a great amount of air (almost if not more than those tall oscillating fans). The finish makes it look so classy and there isn't any assembly required. Just plug in and turn on. This fan has 3 different speeds. Would and always do recommend.

    This fan looks great, and moves air very well. It is solidly built and seems just as nice if not better than the Vornado ones that cost more than twice as much! I did knock off a star because it is a lot louder than expected. On the lowest setting it isn’t too bad, but on 2 or 3 it’s much much louder than any fan I have had before. Still a great product, just make sure it’s not too loud if you are going to use it as a bedroom fan for sleeping.
