My 5-year-old fell in love with the fan and falls asleep with it on. If you need something powerful, this isn't it; but if you need a small, fairly quiet little fan for your desktop or by your bed, this will do the job. It supposedly has 2 speeds, but I don't notice much difference between the two. It's pretty easy to adjust the angle, and the base has proved pretty sturdy. I also like that once it's in position, it doesn't flop down easily, but it's not hard to move. The grey fan with a translucent aqua base and aqua blades gives it a nice modern look.
