"Best Fan I Ever Bought and Made in USA"
I have had this fan two summers. I bought it because it was made in USA. I was tired of cheap fans that fail. It is the quietest fan I have ever had. It has an industrial strength three prong cord which I suspect is a requirement for government contracts, since the paperwork included info on government specs.

It runs like silk. You rotate the part behind the blades to turn on and set a speed. The mechanism feels like quality. The grill pops easily to clean off dust and grime. For the size and quiet run, it moves a lot of air. We use it to move air in the computer office, and I can feel the cool AC air from the next room begin to swirl into the computer room when this little fan is turned on.

Another review mentioned no plastic smell. My last three fans, box fans from China, all emitted terrible plastic odor. One smelled so bad we threw it out day one. Two of the three also emitted burning plastic odor when the motor ran. This is something I am seeing in Chinese made products I never had from American made. The cheap import fans tend to fail quickly first vibrating, then running louder as the fan blade seizes up. I don't know if they use bearings but they act like bearing failure. At that stage I fear fire hazrd from electric overload.

Skip the junk in the stores and buy this quality product

"Best little fan, very quiet!"
This is a great little desk fan, very quiet and nice built. MADE IN THE USA!!!

"strong and quiet fan"
After trying a lot of fans and hating most of them because they were either not really moving any air or they were too loud to have them sitting close to me, I found this one here and it does it all for me. I now have three of them and all are working great. They are quiet and they STAY quiet even after many hours of use. The only thing I'd improve is adding another lower speed level as the two levels it has are both providing a lot of air flow and sometimes I wish it could just blow with a light breeze.

"Simple and Quiet"
As most of the other reviewers mentioned, this fan is exceptionally quiet, at least on the low setting, which is what I use. It is a simple fan and seems fairly well built. The base is very light, but the fan is stable and does not vibrate none-the-less. The price is fairly high for a simple, 6" fan, but better to pay it than to buy a piece of junk for half the price. By the way, this fan does not oscillate.

"Maybe for your desk, not for a room"
Title says it all. We'd been using the Honeywell fans, but the quality fell down so we looked for an alternative. This was not it. We are returning it. It may be fine for sitting on your desk, that's about it.
