I bought this fan a month ago. My first thought  was, "let's see what this fan can do?" Boy.... this fan cools the entire area down. Unfortunately I don't have a AC in my house and when cooking the house is extremely hot especially during a heatwave. I already have a fan window from Vornado but when cooking during a heatwave it's not enough. So I purchased this additional fan and it really cools the kitchen down. You still might sweat a bit but your still cool enough to move around and not feel exhausted!
