Title: Newer model not as good as old.
Product review: I've owned two of these. I'd give five stars to the first, which I bought around 2003 and used very heavily. I bought another in 2009 and it had a couple of problems. First, it was cost-reduced by combining several functions into a toggle button with seven settings: on-high, on-medium, on-low, on-autotemp-high, on-autotemp-medium, on-autotemp-low, off. It's so fiddly that we often turn it off by unplugging it. Second, the volume of air moved is much lower. That might be due to a problem in my particular unit, since I sometimes hear it rev up to a much higher speed for 10-20 seconds.
Would you say this review depicts the product in a flattering or unflattering light?
