I was Not too sure if I could trust the claim that this fan was quiet when I first got it because I have tried other fans in the past that claimed to be quiet but weren’t so I was unsure if this one would live up to it’s claim but it does!!!! It is quiet as can bye and to circulates the air very well! I live in Texas and it is very humid so I am always using a fan in the house to circulate the sun and this fan does that great and keeps the room nice and cool.
