I bought this with my own money and did not get any discounts.  I've had this little guy for about 3 weeks now and it works perfectly.  I plugged it in and by morning I had water in the tank.  Even though I wanted it to sit on the floor, the cord is too short for that, it is small enough that it doesn't really take up much space on the counter.  The air that blows out is on the cool side and it is very quiet.  I empty the tank about once or twice a week, just depends on the humidity in the air.  It is best for a small room and I recommend this product.

*****UPDATE*****I've had this unit for 2.5 months and it still works great!  In fact, I bought another one for my utility room and it too is working well.  I highly recommend this unit for your small spaces.

It's very quiet, it's very cooling, and you can clip it and aim it anywhere -- it's also lightweight and can be taken apart, so it's great for travel if air temperature where you're going is an issue.

Not a ton of air output. It's quiet in the stationary position. In retrospect, I would get me a larger fan, though.

Sometimes it is nice to feel air flow or to have the white noise of a fan.

This nifty item will not cool a room but it will get air moving.

It is attachable to a bookshelf and can be oriented in a number of different directions.

I prefer it to a larger desk fan which would take up space on the shelf.  This fan can be clipped to the shelf and takes up virtually no space.

It is compact but not fragile.

It runs at two speeds which is convenient.

A good value at under $25.

I was pleasantly surprised at the amount of air this thing pushes, but keep in mind that the column of air seems to only be about a foot wide. This is not really a problem for one person, but say two people may not feel the air, even with the oscillating turned on because the oscillating width is less than 90 degrees. I like to sleep with the fan blowing on me and this worked fine for that. This fan is noticably quieter than my pedestal fan was. I'm not sure if it could be attributed to the fan, but I slept much better last night with it. The air also seems a bit cooler with the ionizer on. I have to agree about the less than stellar range of the remote, but my room is only around 10' so it is okay in here.

Now for the fatal flaw: NO FILTER! There is no way to easily clean this thing without disassembly, which is hindered by security screws! They are H-TYPE screws, which luckily I have on hand. There is a YouTube video of a fella that couldn't figure out how to remove security screws, so he was forced to work from the outside, and that with a combination of a vacuum cleaner and air compressor. So hindsight being 20/20 I would pass on this unit, I am just too lazy to repack it and ship it back.

They are quiet loud, but I guess that is somewhat good in the fact that its blowing air.  The fan blades are kind of small so if your aren't within a foot of it you don't feel the air coming from it.  It works great, but there is no on and off switch or different speeds.  The fan also kind of heats up where the motor is, so don't touch that part if you adjust it while it is going.

We have been using this air conditioner for about three months now, and it keeps the room very cool.  Cleanup of the removable washable filter is a snap.  I found this air conditioner to be very quiet

My friend had one of these and I was impressed at how quiet it was and how much air it moved.  I went home and ordered one the same day.  We are in a 105 degree heat wave and it has been a great companion to our air conditioner.

The moves a lot of air and is extremely quite while doing so. This was quieter than the fan installed in my case but move far more air!

This is not an air conditioner, it's really only a fan, it's pretty cool but it's not an air conditioner ( IT'S A FAN)

Moves air with enough force to get through two rooms and I can still feel the breeze but it sounds like an aircraft taking off.
I bought two more because it moves air so well but I turn mine of if I have to have a phone conversation in the room. For some reason the tone of this fan carriers through the phone and magnifies so it's louder to the person on the other end of the line.

Could be a little bit quieter, but its no worse than the 10-year old window unit it replaced.  Good thing it is on casters, cause it isn't small or light when you need to move it.  Lots of cool air and easily keeps our 850 sq. ft. very comfortable.  Pretty easy to connect and disconnect from the window as needed.

It IS really quiet, but that's because it doesn't put out much air. If noise is an issue with you, then I highly recommend it. Just don't expect it to "blow" your socks off.

The air flow and the noise is greatly reduced! But there is still a little weird noise from this fan.

You can barely hear the fans even with nothing else running, it is providing an excellent amount of cooling so far for my laptop, the final test will be in the high temps on summer when my laptop was going into thermal shutdowns.

I have this now for several weeks and was quiet surprised at how well this works.  All I need is a little breeze sometimes to keep myself cool while working on my laptop.  Sometimes its a little noisy but still quieter than most larger fans.  I love that fact that I can keep it my bag when I am done and take it anywhere.
