Dang nice fan! The brushless motor and infinite speeds allow it to go from a breezy/quiet fan to a loud (good for white noise sleepers) hurricane. The head is a bit heavy but the body/stand is well built enough to hold it steady in place. This is a great fan for those that need one for sleep. If I had to change two things however it would be a little taller and be able to oscillate.
The selling point for this fan is its variable speed control. Most fans have a 3-speed control. The variable control of this fan allows you to have a very slow and very quiet speed. I use it in my bedroom at night to create a very light movement of air. The low speed of a 3-speed is too loud and moves too much air. This fan is just right. It replaces an older model of Vornado fan (also with a variable speed control) that ran almost continuously for about 12 years.
