content: Like other reviews have said, this fan is quite powerful for its size. Even the lowest setting moves more air than a lot of other fans I've tried.This fan also lasts a long time. I have owned one for five years that still works great. During the summers, it is on in my bedroom constantly and I am amazed that it has held up this long.With that said, it is noisy. Not in a deafening roar sense, but loud enough that you'll notice it if it is in the room with you. Still, I like the noise. When I'm sleeping, it offers a good amount of white noise that helps me sleep.For the price, an excellent fan.
