Lasko 3720 Floor / Box Fan
I got this fan years ago and it's still my favorite. It has 3 speeds; The lowest is usually enough to cool a 12' x 12' room. The highest setting is quite strong, quite loud (a friend compared it to an airplane taking off, which is an exaggeration, of course, but it makes enough noise to interfere with sleep.) The highest speed also rocks/vibrates the fan, too, so although you're getting great cooling, the noise combination is a minus at bedtime. But the highest speed is the best, though, for drying wet floors, carpets, and me when I'm on the treadmill in the summer! The only slight problem I have with this fan is when cleaning it, you have to remove all of the six screws that hold the screen before you can clean the blades. I'd prefer larger slats, or a pop-out screen.
