This fan is fantastic - it's very quiet and provides good air flow. We've been using it for five years and it's still going strong. It runs for hours on battery power, and even when the battery gets low, it keeps going albeit at a slower speed. Recharging the batteries takes a while, so having the AC power cord is convenient. It's portable and can be used anywhere in the house. I even took it to work to bring in fresh air after Covid. Adding felt to the bottom helped reduce vibration noise on uneven surfaces. The slide switch may not be for everyone, but I find it prevents accidental turning on or off. It's best for smaller areas like the TV area, dinner table, kitchen, and office. Overall, if you want a reliable and quiet fan that you can place anywhere, this is the one to go with!

I bought this fan for labor and delivery in the hospital to stay cool. I thought it would only last a couple of days with D batteries, but it's been over two months and they're still going strong. I've used it for at least an hour every day and even for two full nights in the nursery before getting a real fan. We've also used it to keep the baby cool in the carseat and stroller. It's surprisingly adaptable with a flexible base and has come in handy for many unexpected uses. It's a great little item to have on hand and the quality has exceeded my expectations, even after being dropped a few times.
