i have 3 of these and love love love them. The only little boo boo for this fan is over time the tension on the bar holding the fan in any position loosens and the fan slumps over. But I love this fan so much I use painter's tape to hold it in the right position. I bought my years ago, so I am betting the slumping problem has been worked out. I am going to buy some more as I always want them for the jobs they are doing now. We run one while sleeping, it's quiet motor has a soft whirling sound that is very relaxing and the gentle breeze is perfect for keeping the room fresh. It is so small that we set it on the stairway pointing up to our loft to bring fresh air up to the space and we easily walk by it. We also use one in the kitchen and at my desk. Buy it, you'll like it!
