I'm very impressed with this fan. As far as oscillating fans go, this is one of the quietest I've ever used. There is no weird jerking or mechanical noise coming from it. It looks sleek, modern, and is light-weight. A remote is included that can be stored in the back. It is adjustable from high to low, with a number of settings in between. White noise is one of my favorites. There is also a display at the top, which can be dimmed. The fan is great.
