I got this as a second fan for my makeshift home gym in our garage. It definitely helps to keep the room cooler with good air flow. The materials are high quality and I’m hoping to have this for a long time to come. It has an extra feature of having latches and o e small screw that you can undo  then it can be cleaned with ease. If I need another fan I’ll just buy another one of these ! It has some noise but blends into the background so it doesn’t bother me when in use.
