I am pleasantly surprised by this fan for the price. For under $20.00 I did not expect much. The fan arrived in perfect shape with no dents or other defects on the box. All I had to do was take it out of the box, install the included feet (which snap on) and plug it in. The fan moves a good amount of air even on its lowest setting. The fan is loud on high which is perfect for me. My house can get a tad noisy and my neighbors houses are close by so I use a fan as white noise. I also like the size, it fits perfectly on a small table next to my bed so I get a great breeze while sleeping. We only buy Lasko fans due to the reliability and air movement. In 15 years only 2 Lasko fans have died on us. One of them was my fault for lack of cleaning it and the other just shut off. The motor spins freely it just stopped working. More then a half dozen box store brand fans we have bought have died in the same 15 years, that is why we switched to Lasko. I would not hesitate to buy a couple more at such a good price.
