Not bad at all.
By default I'm a skeptic. Especially when it comes to products I'm not familiar with. I'm not the type to just go out and buy something for the sake of buying it. I have to thoroughly research or contemplate why I'm spending my hard earned cash on the product that I'm purchasing. I didn't think I would NEED a fan let alone a nicer tower fan versus the conventional fans.
Let me just say that after decades of use of a conventional fan this tower fan is amazing. The airflow is superb and the design is excellent. I wasn't so sure about the height of the fan being at 42' but I've adjusted it to its lowest level so it's not too prominent in the living room. Sweeps the room very nicely and the timer is a perfect addition to the product. The product literally FEELS solid. I have to have a product that FEELS solid. It can't creak or anything that makes it feel like its cheaply made.
Impressed and happy with it.
Excellent fan mechanism, but everything else is sub-par
I purchased this fan above all others on Amazon given its raving reviews. What I received was in no way worthy of 5 stars; 3.5, maybe 4 at best. The fan has both pros and cons, with the cons being negative enough to warrant my review and my rating.
The pros:
* The fan/blower mechanism is extremely quiet, even on the 3rd setting (high speed); I'd guess maybe 31-32dB. If you've used Vornado products, or generic box fans on high speed, you will be thrilled by the noise difference. You can easily use this fan in a bedroom while sleeping, especially a guest bedroom.
* The fan, on high speed mode, blows air a pretty good distance (given how thin the unit is) -- a gust of air is detectable easily at the 10-12 foot mark, but past that it begins to dissipate.
* The digital readout is quite visible (no more squinting at liquid crystal displays!), and the user interface (both layout and usability) are excellent. The readout might actually be a...
Great Fan, at first
I replaced a standard tower fan bought at a common big box store. This is just a couple inches taller and really moves the air. It almost seems like my old fan didn't even work. It costs a little more, but well worth it.
Update: I gave a 5 star review when I first purchased it. After a few months, it started making a loud noise like a piece of plastic was jammed into the blades (make you jump out of your chair kind of loud). I then had to remove the back and leave it off to re-set the blades. Now 10 months later, it jams up almost everytime I use it. I'm searching for a new fan now, when I ran across this fan and my old 5 star rating.
