Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

Well, you can't have everything. I really reviewed the reviews of this product here on Amazon before I decided to purchase this fan. Yes I read all about the complaints about the "chintzy" feet, and the apparent "cheapness" of the construction. I had to balance these negatives against what other reviewers on other websites chortled about "The fan was w-a-y out of warranty when the fan motor quit and you know what, they sent me a new one at no charge". Others chimed in with similar claims of exceptional customer service. Then there was the noise issue. Everyone seems to think this fan is exceptionally quiet for the amount of air that it moves. The fan is impressively quiet but not silent on even the lowest setting and I expected that. Many automotive type fans are horribly noisey; they eat battery power like a wolf eats rabbits, and this fan does neither. It can safely be powered by an automobile battery, fully charged in good condition for a full 12 hours and not affect the battery's ability to start the car. I would not recommend discharging an automotive battery regularly like this, but it may demonstrate that an RV battery would have power to spare powering this fan, even for a lengthy overnight stop. How much air is "That Much Air?". I placed the fan four feet from my face on an 85F day at 30% humidity. On low I felt the fan on my face, but at that temp I switched to medium and liked that amount of airflow substantially better. The high setting surely didn't blow my hair straight back, but then again my hair is a quarter inch in length. I furrowed my eyebrows and decided that "high" really didn't add that much to my comfort. Picky picky yes/no? If the swivel plastic feet do break, big deal: I'll glue a swatch of Velcro on the bottom and another on a tiny board, mahogany or teak or whatever and suddenly the fan is no longer "chintzy (remember that word is their's not mine)". Other notes, the lighter socket plug and wire is anything but bottom drawer. The plug has it's own tiny LED to let you know the socket may be playing possum and not the fan, and the power cord is substantial as well. I bought this fan with a specific objective in mind: MEXICO. When the power goes off, this guy goes online along with a couple of LED lights for the bedroom. My new BiPAP, this fan, and the lights are going to transform hours spent in lightless moist heat into hopefully a night of rest, reading, and comfort. From what I have seen I would buy this fan again in a heartbeat. It has no peers never mind betters.
