I received this product in exchange for my honest review. The fan is super easy to assemble out of the box. Once set up and plugged in, it is extremely powerful and quiet. Although I would not store it outside I would most definitely use it outside on those buggy nights to keep the bugs away, no bugs can fly through the wind this fan blows out. It's so powerful that it cools the room. I honestly have never experienced a fan this powerful! Any fan that I have used before needed to face directly at you to get cool, that is not the case with the Vornado. I sit to the side of it while I study and catch a really nice breeze. It's a big perk staying cool and not having papers blowing everywhere. I would say the only con about the Vornado stand up fan would be that it is a bit bulky but I can honestly overlook that. I am pretty certain you would be beyond pleased if you were to purchase this fan. Enjoy!!
