I have to say, this fan is better than what I expected. A fan is a fan, right? No, this one is great.  It was very easy to assemble and the large round base makes it very sturdy. I love the amount of air that this fan puts out. It is very powerful, a lot more than what I expected. It oscillates and is easy adjusts to different heights. If you can, I would suggest getting this 18 inch fan vs.16 inch fan. While the 16 inch fans are good and a great value, this one works so much better. I have several fans throughout my home, and this by fan is the best fan I've purchased.
