This tower fan is definitely the best of several fans that I own. It really is quiet as described. The oscillation is smooth. There is a graduated adjustable increase-decrease of air flow. The air flow is is more diffuse than in other tower fans, which makes it more tolerable. I have the light green color, which is refreshing and cheerful. The only minor negative is that the base is a bit tricky to fasten with small screws. However, it is not bad enough to subtract a star from the evaluation. Altogether i am happy with this purchase, and I can sincerely recommend this fan.
