    I do like this fan and the airflow it produces for the size and price. However it is very loud. I get overstimulated with it on max setting (and I like fans loud typically). On medium it is tolerable. Overall a good fan but if you’re setting it on a desk close to you and put it on max it can be a bit much.

    Does a good job keeping my upstairs a few degrees cooler/warmer if positioned correctly. Quiet and small, no complaints about the fan at all. Price is the only reason I am not giving 5 stars, but all the fans I looked at seemed a tab expensive. If you are a pet owner this is close to the ground and will pick up a lot of that hair, pretty easy to clean though.

    This is a small but mighty fan. On low it is super quiet but moves a lot of air. On high it moves so much air. Other then my Dyson fan, it is the best fan I have ever purchased.

    This fan does have a strong airflow, and is rather pinpointed in direction. Used it in front of an open window to help draw in fresh cool air at night while AC was down for repair and I'm glad I did. You can actually ricochet airflow off the wall to better circulate in a room. Quiet on low settings, white noise-type level on high, didn't bother me while sleeping.

    Great fan for price and size. I have a smallish room and it kept it cool for the summer time and it’s something I can run in the colder months for air and not get too cold. Love!

    I bought this a little skeptically, but it has been a great purchase. We live in a small-ish apartment with a bedroom that can get very warm in even temperate weather. Having air circulating with open windows overnight allowed us to wait till late May to finally put in our window AC unit. This device is quiet enough, very powerful, and sturdily constructed. We are considering buying one for our office now as well. Great product.

    Powerful yet quiet snd compact. A little bulkier than your average desktop fan so you need a good spot for it.

    Didnt think it would do the job with how petite it is but im glad to be wrong. It fits on a bedside or coffee table, doesnt take up too much space. Noise is not too bad but can get noticeable at highest setting. Packs quite some power, I keep it at 1 or 2 max.

    I bought this Vornado fan to replace a weak performing Honeywell fan of a similar design. The Vornado really pushes the air around my bedroom. Though not silent, the gentle white noise it generates masks other sounds at night, resulting in better sleep. Yes, it costs more, but I believe that it's worth the price difference. It really moves the air around.
