Because we have ceiling fans in almost every room of our home, we don't feel the need for a portable fan. I purchased this one several years ago prior to our painting the interior of our home. I am so glad I did that. My husband utilized it every day when he was painting. The paint dried quicker and the odor from the paint wasn't as intense. I also used it when I was washing the inside of the windows this past summer. We have the type windows that fold inwards and they can be washed from the inside. The only down side to that is it is a terrible energy waster with the air conditioning flowing directly out the windows. My solution was to turn the a/c up and utilize this fan. It kept the air bearable so that I could wash the windows more effectively. The fan oscillates and has three different speeds. I appreciate the way this fan has performed for us and I feel that if it were to quite working, I would have no qualms regarding purchasing another just like it.
