We use a fan in the bedroom all year and this is a great. It has 8 different settings so you can get the perfect air flow for your needs. It has a timer and the lights on the top can be dimmed if they start to bother you. It can also be set to oscillate or stay still which is really nice. My favorite part though is that there is a remote to control this fan so you don't have to get up everytime you want to change the setting or turn it off. There is even a spot on the back of the fan that holds the remote when you aren't using. I love it!
