Promising review: "This fan saved my life. I like the noise but it's not too loud. It's perfect for the slight white noise. The power is great! I usually keep it on settings 1-3 because I like the lower blow but level 5 is powerful and will keep you cool. It's so cool when connected to Alexa. She can control it all and I never have to get up! It was easy to set up too!" —HayHay

Promising review: "I have had several fans in our bedroom and none have held up over time. I have had this fan for more than 6 months now. It runs all night, every night and has held up great. I like the remote and love the oscillate feature! Buy with confidence." —Michael S. Bynum

Promising review: "Just what my mother needed. Given her age, health conditions, and the place where she spends most of her time, this fan is perfect for her. She can easily use it on a table or desk and adjust the power herself without having to stand up. The timer function is especially convenient for nighttime use, as it turns off automatically. We are very happy with this purchase. In fact, I was so impressed that I already ordered another one for myself." —Teresa

Promising review: "I bought this for a small room that needed air movement. It's great! The two independent fan blade units are so convenient. I can aim them the same direction or aim one towards the ceiling and ones towards the room." —Stormlaughter

Promising review: "Where has this fan been all my life? We recently moved into a new home. My bedroom doesn't have a ceiling fan. Rather than wait for someone to install one, I bought this fan. Let me tell you that this is one of the best things I've ever bought. I usually read all reviews and think about a purchase for a few days prior to ordering. I wish I had ordered it sooner. The fan is quiet, doesn't take up too much space, and it has a remote control that is very easy to use. No more getting up to turn up or down the speed of the fan. There is only one thing to assemble...the bottom of the fan which just snaps on. To top it all off, the price is very reasonable. This is the first review I have ever written. I just love this fan so much!" —Stacey S

Promising review: "I purchased this item when my air conditioner broke two weeks ago. I read all the reviews and made a wise purchase. It's very easy to use; I just put cold water and one ice pack in and open the window and the room was very cool. It is not an air conditioner, but it did its job until I was able to get my air conditioner repaired. Would highly recommend this item. I have also purchased a fan from this brand, and it is awesome." —Yoly

Promising review: "This is a perfect fan. It takes up very little space, and the air it moves is wonderful. My old fan was so loud I had to turn up the volume of the TV. With this on, you can’t even hear it! PERFECT! I’m buying a couple more." —draftmaster

Promising review: "I love this fan! My home office is above my garage, which gets way too hot in the summer here in middle Georgia. This fan cools my room off quickly and makes it comfortable enough for me to work in my office again instead of from my kitchen table. I also love how I can control the fan from my phone and see the current temperature." —Christina Wheeler

Promising review: "Can’t believe I am saying that this fan is worth the money but it is. Very quiet, sleek and works great. You can set it to oscillate or not, change speeds and turn on and off with the remote. I love it. We have low quality AC in our old antique house and this really made it more comfortable during all the super hot weather." —Lester F.

Promising review: "I love the fan. A far better deal than the Dyson fan and looks almost as cool. I love the remote control which I keep on my bedside table. So convenient and comforting if you have hot flashes like me! It helps me sleep after years of waking up every hour due to hot flashes. It’s a bit noisy, but not nearly as noisy as one of those huge round collating fans that sound like a freight train." —Amazon Customer
