This fan has many cons, and too few pros to be recommended. It looks nice, but does not work nearly as good as any of the other vornado fans I own. The choice for the rocker switch is dumb, as you have to secure unit with one hand to change speeds. The motor is really annoying, with pulsing and doesn't move much air for it's trouble. Also it is not designed to be easy to clean like every other vornado i have. Seems like a knock off with a Vornado emblem on it. If the new towers use these type of fans, you can count me out.
