Much more than a fan; this is a really well-performing HEATER and oscillating fan.  I bought this as a fan for a stuffy bedroom, but the description did mention the heater.  I figured the heater was an added bonus if it worked - this is a great buy.  The fan is great and the heater works very well.  Have used the heater on chilly spring evenings while watching tv or reading a book. Very happy with the purchase.  It is very quiet and the fan moves a good amount of air, just what I need for the warm,  summer season ahead.
