Fan at lowest speed moves A LOT of air. Will slide itself around on wood floor, so have put a non-skid mat under. Purchased to replace a plastic, three year old, unable-to-open-to-clean plastic fan that died on the worst day of the recent PNW heat wave; thank goodness we had one other fan as this one had to be ordered online and so could not immediately be obtained. Specifically wanted something that could be cleaned AND be recycled when it dies. Hopefully it has a longer life than its predecessor. Another plus is the spare look of the fan-less visual clutter in our small place.
