Great replacement to our 10-year old pedestal fans. Moves/circulates air very rapidly. Smaller footprint than pedestal version. Draws air closer to the ground (ie cooler air) and pushes it higher. Looks better than an industrial "air mover/blower". And draws less power than "air mover/blower". Can be noisy at high setting. May move too much air at low setting. No remote control. Has a low profile/height so it will not reach (blow air across/over) furniture like a bed or centre island (unless you raise it higher by placing it on a box/riser or something). But overall, great for our needs.
