This Rowenta Turbo Silence fan is very powerful! It does a great job of pulling down my entire living room. For how much wind it puts out, it definitely does not make a lot of noise, just a quiet hum. Installation was extremely easy, I never even had to look at the directions, everything was very self-explanatory. It is much heavier than any other stand fan I’ve ever had, so I do not have to worry about it tipping over if the kids run into it. The touch controls are very responsive and allow me easily to change the settings. It also comes with a remote so if I am across the room I do not have to get up to change the settings. It has five different speed settings and four timer settings. It can be ran for one hour, two hours, four hours, eight hours or you can always just have it continuous. Very happy with my new fan!
