I bought this product back in 2009, and it still works perfect. I used by hanging it up on the bathroom wall, the draw string makes it easier to turn on and turn off on the three cycles of high medium and low. It is easy to clean since the plastic comes apart, and easy to put back together. I use it in the bathroom because I live in an apartment building, the ventilation isn't the greatest here but the fan make this work, especially when I take a shower keeps the air well circulated. I had a different fan before, but it didn't last that long, plus the old fan did not have a drawstring to control it like this one does. I love the draw string also because it hangs really close to the bathroom light switch. Everything about this fan is great, well made, durable, easy to clean, drawstring for hanging fan on wall and very good price. Impessive. I was surprised with the bad reviews, with my experience with this fan, I was expecting the average 5 star reviews to be at 95%. Me, I am 100% satisfied.
