Do Not Buy This Fan
I do not recommend buying this fan. It simply isn't worth the price.
The airflow and cooling performance don't come close to what you would expect from a quality utility fan that's designed to keep a room or house cool during the summer.
I recently received this fan as a gift, and I was extremely disappointed. The performance is terrible.
To get any meaningful airflow, you have to keep it on the highest setting (level 9) almost all the time. Even at its maximum speed, the airflow is so weak that it can't even blow a sheet of paper off a desk or move my window blinds.
That's how poor the airflow and blade performance are. I've owned much cheaper fans that produced significantly more air.
The digital display and other modern features may look nice, but they add complexity without improving performance. Even worse, taking the fan apart to clean it is a frustrating chore.
What should be simple maintenance turns into an unnecessarily complicated process.
I highly recommend skipping this model and purchasing its predecessor instead. The older version is significantly more powerful and actually moves air the way a utility fan should. In my opinion, the manufacturer took a great product and ruined it with this redesigned version by focusing on gimmicks instead of performance.
Save your money and buy the older model or another quality utility fan. I cannot recommend this one.
