I love this fan.  My family always admires it when they visit.  I always tell them I got it at Wayfair! It is quiet, but moves a lot of air.  I have it positioned to rotate so that air is also blown into my bedroom as it sweeps the living room/dining room areas.  When I sit in the living room, it blows air toward the back of my lounge chair, so I have air movement without having it blowing my papers or my face.
