Overall, the air circulator is an excellent fan. The design is a little bulky, in my opinion, and could be a little sleeker (although I know there are sleeker models by the company). However, the power behind this fan is excellent! It would work well in a shop or large area that lacks circulation. I put the fan in front of my air conditioner unit to help circulate the air, and it's worked out well so far, cooling down the main living room/kitchen more effectively than the AC alone. As a side note, for how much power the fan packs, its relatively quiet until placed on the higher/highest setting.
