    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.

    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 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.

    This is the perfect table fan for a bedroom or office. It moves a lot of air, is reasonably quiet, and looks sharp. It is also easier than mosat other fans I've owned to clean. I have bought five of these, one for each bedroom, and am not disappointed.

    I love this fan! I always sleep with a box fan on. I wanted something smaller and more stylish. This was exactly what I needed! I have bought smaller fans that were too quiet. This is perfect! Loud enough and very nice looking. Also if you are looking for powerful it does create quite a nice breeze to cool you off! :)

    Does a good job of moving air around the bedroom as well as other small rooms, even without using oscillation feature. Though small, it is powerful enough to get the job done. Occasionally use medium speed setting but most of the time the lowest setting is sufficient. Retro style is a nice added touch.

    I bought this fan as a gift but ended keeping it to my self because it works amazing! The way it circulates the air flow is magnificent and you can even possition up down or center and it has steady or side to side maneuver. It comes with 3 speeds that which ever you choose you will be chilled and cooled in seconds.

    So far I love this fan. We bought it because our upstairs is always hot no matter how low the AC is set on. We have one floor fan in our room that was almost twice as expensive as this one but is much weaker. With this fan you can feel it all the way across the bed. Its powerful and cool. I didn't give it higher rating because in my experience fans are better at first but tend to wear out so I want to see how this one lasts. I also like the retro look and the sort of pewter finish.

    I searched for a solid retro-design fan, and found this one at a great price. It has exceeded my expectations. It's well-made with stainless steel and churns out a LOT of air! At high speed, the blade really moves. This is one of the best purchases I've made!

    This fan is exactly what I was looking for - attractive, metal, oscillating and table top design. The retro design and gun metal color are beautiful. It moves air well and I feel it is quiet enough. Gets the job done and is attractive too!

    If you're looking for a sturdy desk fan for your office (personal or otherwise) this is absolutely the perfect fan. I also enjoy the sleek, streamlined look and provides some white noise. Has a good amount of power at the third setting as well.
