I was looking for something other than the old-fashioned wood-propeller fan with the ugly light and I found it. This design is sleek and modern and just downright gorgeous. It is very effective in keeping my space cool, but setting two and three are very loud. If noise bothers you--and this is more than white noise--than this is not the fan for you. Other than that, it is fabulous.

I've come back to this review after about a year. Turns out the particular fan I had in my bedroom was noisy, but the one I had in the guest room was not. Make sure the one you get is sufficiently quiet and if not, Wayfair will absolutely take care of making sure you get one that is.

Pros: gorgeous and keep the room cool
Cons: loud
