Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I figured I'd write a review, because I feel this little fan has gotten some undue bad press. For what it is, it is a very good little fan. It's very small, and sleek looking. Within 15 minutes of bringing it into my office cubicle, someone commented on how "cool" it looked. Beyond the aesthetics of the fan, it produces a nice breeze on the low setting, which is virtually silent. Nothing that powerful, but you can definitely feel the breeze up to five feet away or so. The high setting seems to about double or triple the air moved, but it does produce a slight motor noise. Nothing too loud. At five feet away or so, it's just a low hum. Anything beyond that, and you can't really hear it. For me, it is exactly what I was looking for. A quiet fan that lowers the temperature by a couple degrees and moves air around. Pros: - Virtually silent on the lowest setting - Perfect for an office environment - Looks "cool" - Rotates on its base, so I don't have to pick it up to point it in a different direction. Cons: - High setting is arguably loud (it's acceptable in my environment) - It's not a power house fan (if you just had a two hour work out session, this fan isn't going to cool you down much) - It takes two hands to change between off/high/low settings, since it swivels on its base, and a dial controls speeds (one hand to hold it from swiveling, and another to turn the dial)
