This fan is very powerful for as small as it is. The vintage style appeals to myself, but it may not be for everyone. The silver makes it look very classy and I love using it in my office. This model may not be as well suited for a larger space, but I was well aware before I started using it. The base of the fan is very stable. The output speed settings are more than adequate. From a noise perspective, this fan generates alot less than others on the market. . Overall, a great build for a fan that is best utilized in smaller spaces.
