Product review (3 stars): It's been on the mantle for a couple of months ...
It's been on the mantle for a couple of months now and has been working consistently. It doesn't seem to push as much air the other one we bought, which has only two (slightly larger) gold-colored blades, cost about $20 less, and is a bit quieter, but otherwise it does what it says it does. It is still fairly quiet, although it can rock a little when the blade spins fast and makes an audible rhythmic muffled squeak, but I don't notice it unless I listen for it specifically. I don't regret the purchase but I don't think I'd buy this again.
