Greater than one weekI bought this fan because it has 8 speeds. The 2 lowest settings on this fan are even lower than the low setting on other fans of this size. Think of them as extra low settings. The lowest setting is like a very slight gentle breeze and I mean very slight. The 2nd setting is just ever so slightly more powerful than the first. I love it. As it goes up by about the 5th setting youre at medium. Its so much better than just low, medium, & high on other fans. It solved a problem I was having because Im super picky about temperature and air flow. I live in So Cal so during winter I like to sleep with the window open to make my room cold to where I can sleep comfortably with a blanket. The problem I have in spring and fall is that Im too warm even with the window open so I put a fan by the window to blow the cool outside air on me. The problem is some nights its too cold with the fan even on low. At times Im too warm or to cold I just cant get right. But now having these extra low settings on this new fan is perfect. I have a couple problems with it. I would give it 4.5 stars if I could but it gets 5 because of the extra low settings that I love. Reasons for 4.5 stars is the price. This fan is kind of light in weight and seems a little cheaply made. Dont get me wrong its not that cheaply made, I just expected a little more for the price. I would say this fan should be more like $45- $50 instead of $67 which is what I paid. Not a huge difference but still. Maybe its the different settings and the control panel that lights up thats driving the price up a little. I also wished the high setting was a little more powerful. This fan is definitely for a small to medium room. Otherwise keep it somewhat close to you. If you have a large room and the fan is at the furthest possible point away from you this fan wont be powerful enough.

> 3 dayThe first one we ordered had a broken fan motor possibly. It made a loud noise intermittently, but the replacement works great. Quiet and decent air flow on low mode even. We keep it on high as its quiet. It does have a nice white noise mode too where it creates a rumble-like sound. Also shipped quicker than advertised(received next day).

> 3 dayI would give this fan 5 stars but I never received the table fan that is advertised with the tower fan. Amazon sent a replacement set with the intent the 2nd tower fan to be returned. Again, it arrived without the table fan. The tower fan isnt the most powerful at high speed but it is WONDERFUL for sleeping. It has 8 speeds and is nearly silent at the lower speeds simulating a gentle breeze. Great for sleeping. It is also more slender than other tower fans so it fits in smaller spaces. I would like to review the table fan but cant seem to get it delivered.....

Greater than one weekMy friend has one of these in every room of her house and I see why! Keeps rooms cool and Im hoping that will cut down on my air-conditioning cost this year. I love the different air functions and speeds. Cant wait to order more.

> 3 dayVery loud after 6 months. Started off fine and quiet but now is very loud and seems like it’s not oscillating correctly. Don’t recommend

> 3 dayI love this fan! It has tons of settings and comes with a simple remote. The best feature is being able to turn off the power light that all electronics seem to have.

18-11-2024Im in a small three room cottage and the central heat and A/C does not evenly distribute the temperature. I set this in a corner on Sleep and Circulate and problem solved! I had forgot it was there until I got this request for a review.

> 3 dayI was skeptical when I bought it because I didn’t think it would cool all as quickly as it does and it’s quiet unless you crank it up. Right now I. Sitting probably 10-12 feet away and I can feel the cool breeze. Just bought another one for the bedroom which is upstairs and as most two floor homes it’s always hotter on the second floor. Hope it works as well.

> 3 dayThe fan is super quiet, and has 8 speed setting, plus it oscillates. Great value for the money.

Greater than one weekI may have just gotten a defective product, since I own another one of these fans in my workout room and it has been fine. But this one ran constantly for the summer months like a dream. Then we had a hot spell a month or so ago, and when I turned on the fan it was making a god-awful noise. I am really disappointed because the other one has been perfect. Of course I didnt keep the box and as I read the instructions for invoking the warranty I have to pay to have it returned? Thats kind of BS....
