Overall this is a great fan. The ease of use and functonality are great. It is great for use in a larger (living room) and does a great job of circulating the air flow of the room. The downfall, however, is the low noise. To some that would be a selling point but for me if it were to be used in a bedroom I like having a little bit of noise for ambient sound. Other than that there were no real drawbacks in my opinion.
