Early Review - Excellent Fan
This Fan is just what I needed this summer to supplement my Air Conditioning in the house during the heat wave in Dallas (Tx). The air flow is excellent at Speed 1. The noise is very quiet so I use it when I'm asleep. At Speed 1, there's no vibration & the Fan's Feet keep the Fan stable and stationary.I haven't used the Fan much at Speed 2 as yet.Regarding other customer's feedback about the Power/Speed Selector Switch being inconvenient located on the back of the Fan, I agree. I bought one of these to make it easy to access the Power to the Fan :https://www.amazon.com/dp/B01M7V6U2Q?psc=1&ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details

Great little fan
This is a great little fan -- quiet, especially on low, with good airflow. I've noticed numerous other reviews complaining that after a few months, the fan speeds up and slows down and does not push as much air through. This is true, but the reason for it is simple – an accumulation of dust and crud on the fan blades, especially on the edges.Even a small amount of build-up will cause a significant drop in performance – just like a little ice on the wing of an airplane can cause it to fall out of the sky.Just take apart the plastic housing, two screws, very simple, and clean the blades. Presto, the fan will be good as new.

Quiet and Works Great, When It Works
Okay, it's only a $20 fan. We aren't expecting miracles. And at first, I thought this fan was great. Then it seemed to develop what others had described, being it would randomly speed up and slow down. The big issue when it speeds up is that it disrupts the laminar flow of air over the blades. This causes it to A) get a lot louder and vibrate and B) move nearly no air. Not exactly ideal.It will start and stop this behaviour seemingly without any external cause such as run time, line votage, air temperature or humidity. I really want to like this fan, but frankly I'm disappointed that I'll probably end up replacing it with another make and model.Edit: One year on, I have solved the vibration and low air flow issue by disassembling and cleaning accumulated dust out of the works and off the fan blade. I can't say for sure if it was the removal of accumulated dust or taking the fan blades off and putting them back on that actually fixed the problem, but it now produces consistent, quiet operation and good air flow.

Little Mighty Giant..lol
Was looking for a fan for my office that would not take up to much space and give me a good amount of air..I purchased many lasko fans and still do and they never dissapoint.. This little fan might be little but man it feels like a bigger size fan..I'm very satisfied with my purchase and I highly recommend..

When it works its quiet and moves a lot of air, but mine died after a month...
In the beginning, this was a nice small quiet fan. The low setting wasn't particularly low, but it was fairly quiet. ...and then it wasn't. At present, it is extremely loud and barely moves any air, but then suddenly about every 20 minutes or so it gets whisper quiet and starts blowing a ton of air, and then gets loud and low again after about 30 seconds. Probably a balance issue, but for $20 its not worth bothering shipping back, so I just picked up a different fan. I actually might have gone for 2nd go around with this one, but even when it worked well, the low wasn't low enough for me. I'm not saying avoid this, I may have just gotten a bad fan, there's always going to be that 1-5% of items that just fail in the first year, and I may have just been unlucky. Its light, it moves a good amount of air with two settings on a knob on the back and the angle adjust works well enough, though it does tend to loosen and then tilt up every few days and you have to tighten it back up again.

Weird air flow.
Been talking to Cutomer service. Dont think they understand Tried different ways butbtheybjust cut and paste same thing. Like is it plugged in. But if you want to run it minus ftont guard it works. But look elsewhereIts been doing this tge day i took itvout of box. You can see fan turning normally but no air coming out front back or sides. Yhen after acwhile you can hear fan get quiet the the air blows out. Then it stops. Fan keeps turning no air Then air comes out. Its a fan. Plug it in socket turn on. Poof air. No resets just lo hi off but when I remove front guard. The fam blows out fine. I took off front guard using it that way. Air has not stopped blowing. Think there’s a suctioning problem in design that captures air in between the front and back guards. Coukd be to thick of plastic that restricts air flow. Like a air lock. I have used fans for 50 yrs. all the stuff you keep sending does not cover problem. I’d put it back together to show your design people but i kept fan cut out the parts i need to tighten it. And threw out front fan guard.No power surges no resetting since you cant reset this. Its still new not dirty. Blade is clean. Socket is normal voltage. Lije i said ftont guard off. Air has been non stop. Front guard on. Air stops coming out while fan is on high. Just stops blowing out. The sll of a sudden it blows out. Cant think of any other way to describe this. But has nothing to do with the lists of things to do. Tell design people change the blade guards to stop restricting air flow. Will keep it without front guard. Been working fine with out it. No kids or pets can get to blade. Will post my findings on review. Thanks for your help.Only way it works. No cover. If you put it on. Air magically stops flowing thru. Spins blade no air felt. Created like a suctioning affect to block air. Turn it off then on works. The poof nothing. Very bad design.

Good fan for the money
Product was delivered quickly. The box had been opened before, but the product inside seemed fine. This is the 2nd time I've bought this fan. And no, you're not going to pass it down to your grandkids, but it creates decent airflow and excellent white noise. The last one I had lasted 3-4 years after heavy, daily use. I have it on 100% of the time when I'm sleeping, when I exercise indoors on a regular schedule, and as needed for hot days. In other words, a lot. $20 for that type of lifespan is acceptable to me. YMMV.

quiet and efficient
It does its work more than adequately. Very quiet, and helps to circulate the air in the apartment. This is the second one I got, and the first one I bought some six years ago and is still running well and quietly. I would recommend it.
