Question: what are the dimensions of the base please? in inches.
Document: its just what we wanted-a heavy durable fan! love having the controls on the base and it's quiet. will recommend to anyone.
The first fan I received had a dented base, apparently damaged in shipping, and they sent a second fan free of charge to replace it. I didn't even have to return the first one (which works fine in spite of its injury, but sits off-kilter and looks a bit strange. My mother enjoys it now nonetheless).
I ordered this fan because my wife wanted a table top fan. She's pretty hard to please and I ordered it without telling her. When it arrived I showed it to her and surprisingly she said it was OK.  From her that is a glowingreview. It's quiet, functional and attractive. It doesn't take up much space - it's a keeper.
wish i could order another one for another room but they are out of stock. maybe when it warms up they will have more. awesome fan. super quiet and runs great
very good fan more than expected, worth the money and very stylish looking. Quiet on low good volume of air flow very good.
this fan I bought to replace my old hunter fan. A fan that was really built top notch, it lasted me about ten years. I used this fan every evening to circulate the air, while I slept. When I looked to replace it I found it was no longer available. So I found what seemed to be about what i had last time not the same though.
love the fan does not make a lot of noise  great product if looking for a  fan.would def recommend
You can take apart and clean. Great design and not cheap feeling. It comes ready to use right out of the box.
While the all-metal construction is impressive to look at, and the weight of the unit feels heavy and substantial like fans made "back in the good old days", the WIMPY breeze this thing creates is far less than impressive. To verify my suspicions, I popped-off the back cover of the motor housing, and sure enough, it has a WEENIE motor hidden behind that big beefy metal cover.
Well put together, quiet and attractive; definitely better the run-of-the-mill plastic ones. Delivered on time and in perfect condition. Well be purchasing another soon!
Answer: The fan base is round and measures approx. 7 inch.
