The New air 18" fan is a good sturdy build compared to similar modern models. It's ability to move air is impressive, it's a nice strong flow. This is not a living area fan. It's noise level is a bit too loud for comfort. 
My initial impression is that this fan is going to last , possibly past the five years mark with a good maintenance schedule.
I removed a star because the caps that fit over the tilt adjustment nuts are a ridiculously cheap design, they fall off which makes them worthless.
