I needed a fan for our living room that did not take up a lot of real esate on the floor. I really like the fact that tower fans do not take up a lot of room, but historically they do not really have a good air flow, which I need. When we got this fan and unboxed it, I was pleasently surprised at just how much air this fan puts out.Unboxing and assembly was pretty easy and the electrical cord is about the length that you would expect on a fan. The fan has a remote control, and even has a place on the very top to store the remote when not in use so that it doesn't get lost. The fan has three speeds that put out quite a bit of air. The only downside to the air flow is that it is louder than expected. It has a setting on it that says that it reduces the noise, but I have either not figured out how to use it or it doesn't really do a lot to lower the noise (it is probably a ME problem).In addition to the three speed setting, the fan also oscillates, has a time, and an AI setting that increases the speed as the temprature increases and then shuts off compeltely if the temprature gets low enought which i thought was a great function.Overall I paid $67.99 for this fan and it has been worth every penny so far. I like it so much that I have ordered a desktop version for my home office!
