Honestly the best fan I have ever owned. Not only is it extremely quiet, it has so many other great things about it! This fan can cool your entire room! You can control the swivel if you want it faster, to turn and lock, slower, etc. It requires absoutely no tools to set up. (Perfect if your like me and own about 2). It was super easy to figure out! It has an auto timer, and dimming options for night time! Even comes equip with a handle if you want to take it to each room your in. (Pratically weighs nothing if you can't carry much.) I love everything about this fan, but my favorite part is it has a remote control! You can of course pre-set your timer to turn it off, but if you get hot in the middle of the night (or cold) you can switch it off with the remote rather than getting out of bed! A definite must have!
