I ordered this little fan to help circulate air in my bedroom, despite the negative reviews. My apartment is on the top floor of my building so it gets pretty hot during the summer with only one AC unit in the livingroom. I wasn't expecting the fan to be extremely powerful, just powerful enough to circulate a little cool air to help keep my bedroom cool. Let me tell you, it works perfectly!I have the fan facing my bed, where it picks up cool air blowing in from the hallway and spreads it around my small to medium-sized bedroom (picture attached for reference). I can feel the air blowing 6-10 feet away from the fan, on low to high speeds. It is a light breeze but it does wonders with keeping me cool at night.On low speed, the sound is almost nonexistent. On high speed, I still can barely hear it. The lights are beautiful too; you can also turn the light off at night while the fan is running if you can't sleep with lights on in your bedroom like me. Also, the power/speed button and lights button are both activated by very light touch. You DO NOT need to press on them as they will not work if you do (I tested this myself).If you're looking for a powerful air-circulator, this is not the fan for you. This fan is a personal fan and is meant for personal use (i.e. at your desk while working) and for small-ish rooms. I highly recommend if you have reasonable expectations for what you are buying.If anything goes wrong with this fan, I will be sure to update this review. And so everyone is aware, I paid for this fan myself and have absolutely not been compensated in any way for this review. I like leaving honest reviews so that consumers like me know what they are about to purchase.
