Its top speed is fantastic. We needed a very powerful fan to keep mosquitoes off of me outside. It doesn't keep them all off of me especially if I am outside right after dawn but for the most part it does a great job. We are very pleased with the lighting as well. What we don't like is that when one turns on the fan with the remote control, the fan moves a little within its notches, causing it to loosen and it does so loudly so you'll know when it's doing it. But when I use the app on my phone, that does not happen. I love that I can turn on the fan with my phone before I even go outside.
