For me I like the fan noise while sleeping.  This fan is top heavy even though the base does a good job of keeping it pretty steady.  It takes up ALOT of room on my nightstand though.  The "turbo" isn't really"turbo" at all.  But it's a fan and it works -- was it worth the $70?  Not at all, we will see how long it works for.  Our old table top fan just died after 26 years -- I'd be shocked if this one lasted that long
