I needed a fan to move the heat from a wood stove down the long hallway of my ranch style home. Tried a number of different fans, all were too noisy or too turbulent or both. This fan sits on the floor and sends a column of cold air from the far bedroom down a 50 ft hallway to the stove. It does this on the low setting and is very quiet. There was an issue with the fan grill upon arrival, customer service immediately shipped a replacement. Could not be happier!!
