The important feature for me about this blower fan is the DC motor. I already have one of Lasko's WhisperForce™ DC Technology equipped tower fans and was extremely impressed with the performance, efficiency, and how quiet it is. For noise, this fan is even quieter than the tower fan that I currently have, which I didn't even think was possible! I live in a very quiet neighborhood and the ambient noise is louder than this fan on the lowest setting. As for wattage, I use a EcoFlow power station to see how much power draw it would take. On the highest setting, speed 9, it uses about 78 watts max. On the low setting, speed 3, it uses about 7 watts. Unfortunately, at fan speeds 1-2 the EcoFlow unit cannot recognize the wattage usage maybe cause the draw is so low. The design is quite nice. There is a little yellow pull and push tab that allows for air flow to widen or become more narrow and is adjustable. The effect is amplified when the speed is increased. This is somewhat similar to your car vent. There is also a timer feature which goes up to 9 hours with a dot light indicating if the timer is active or not. The display does turn off after a few seconds. The cord wrap is a very nice addition as well as the two grounded side plugs for additional fans or light duty equipment. Overall, an excellent fan! The best feature by far is the DC motor's extremely quiet, efficient, and powerful performance!

Love the high velocity of this fan. Use this outside on porch to keep cool and keep the mosquitoes away.

This fan is very powerful

This fan has a DIGITAL on/off switch. It DOES NOT maintain the previous power state when it loses its electrical connection. Even just a brown out will cause this fan to shut off and then REQUIRE you to press the Power button to turn it BACK ON. This is especially unacceptable when you are trying to use this fan on a job site and are relying on them to remove moisture. The last thing that you want to have to be concerned about is if the fans need to be constantly checked on to confirm that they are still running because someone will have inevitably cycled a breaker.
