I've had the fan for 3 days at the time of this review. I purchased it because my 2nd floor apartment does not heat or cool efficiently in the Kansas summers and winters. So far, I like it. It's quiet. Doesn't take up much space. Matches with my decor. And keeps my small living and dining space cool. I haven't used the heating element yet so no reviews on that quite yet. As mentioned in another review, the digital display face of the fan lights up the room at night so, that's one thing to consider but that's an easy fix, I suppose.
