I was going to purchase this fan on Amazon,but saw it tonight in home depot for $16.79. I don't yet have an ac and the heat in our small Florida efficiency has been unbearable. I rigged this fan up in front of my bedroom window and....Eureka!...relief at last! I have it set up facing my vornado fan (Which arrived from Amazon just today) and the nice cross -breeze is unbelievable. For a small,cheap fan, the output is pretty impressive. I have purchased this same fan a few times over the past several years(gave a few away and left two behind in a move)and had them for at least 3-4 years with no issues whatsoever. It's noisy on the medium and high settings but still an okay trade-off as my comfort level has gone up a few notches. All of this for only $17.00. I'm very happy with this fan!
