I use the fan in my 'garage office' and it does a good job of circulating air during the hotter days. It is stable and looks solid, and doesn't look flimsy at all. The circulation options are very good as well. A very good product overall.

Put this fan on sleep level and you feel you are sleeping outside in a summer evening (without bugs)

The remote is more than convenient. It is right there when you are half asleep and you want to change from a constant breeze to an intermittent one.

You might want to put a handle in the middle to be able to move it more easily. I move it from the direction of the bedroom to the living room every day.

It's a great fan. Never knew how good a sleep mode on a fan would be. Love the dual osillating function. Packaging was done poorly, and the sensor for the remote isn't lined up well to the opening so the remote doesn't work that well.

I'd consider it the best investment I've made for my non-ac residence close to the Santa Monica Bay that gets an afternoon sea breeze. This fan also provides an on/off timer, mode, and 3 oscillating functions too.
I'm a pleased buyer !
