This little fan has impressed me. When I pulled it out of the box, I noticed the attractive color and design. It was easy to unfold and set up. The cord length is OK. I didn't have far to plug it in, but I'd say it's an average length cord. I put it in a large bedroom and turned it on to see what it could do. Up close it didn't seem like it would circulate much air at all, but when I went to the other side of the room, I could actually feel a "breeze". That impressed me very much. This is a perfect little fan for an office, a bedroom, or even camping if you have power outlet access. The only thing I wish was different was if it there was a choice of how to power it -- either by electricity or batteries.
