I purchased this fan during the beginning of a heat wave recently. The fan arrived in a timely fashion. My husband helped me do the minimal assembly. The directions were very clear and only a Phillips screwdriver was required. This fan has exceeded my expectations!!! The misting feature works great. And, having 3 speeds with the tilting and oscillating features are much appreciated. The base is very solid and keeps the fan stationary. Thank you for an excellent product.
