Great concept! Fan is up and out of the way of kids and pets. Our windows are top-opening, awning style, so we can mount the fans high enough to draw the cooler evening air inside. Our bedrooms are upstairs under the eaves in a 1939 farmhouse, so it can be very warm and stuffy up there mid-summer. We have one fan hung and it has worked well. Even on lowest setting it is a bit noisier than "white noise" but that drowns out the roar of early morning commuters on our road. So far we are very pleased with the purchase. Plan to get the second fan hung, in a few days. Yet another successful purchase from Wayfair. Thanks.
