This was an expensive fan, but worth every dollar. It meets my needs extremely well. I have it in the bedroom to cool me down at night, and it does that. It's noisy, but the noise for me is comforting, it's a constant noise and very easy to drop off to sleep with.

It's a good looking fan, but 1) it has too few speed notches (there's no slow one, for example) and 2) even on the slowest setting it's incredibly noisy. It'd be fine for a factory, but a home? no!
