I'm really loving this air circulator. It has saved me from sweating profusely. My room gets hot and I don't use the ceiling fan because it makes a dinging sound. The air is cooler when I have the Vornado running and it's very compact. I also appreciate the smooth, uninterrupted and consistent sound that the fan makes. I need ambient sound to sleep better and the white noise that it produces is perfect; it's not too loud and most importantly doesn't stutter. The only option that I wish it had was a third speed setting. You are limited to only two speeds which are: l and ll. Otherwise, this fan works great and I recommend it to anyone who needs cooler air in a small room or a bedroom.
