This is a great fan for those with a desk job. It is slim and would fit nicely next to a desk or in a corner out of the way. But the desk and fan can't be more than 2 feet apart. The strength of the breeze is fair but adequate for close quarters. Also, I wouldn't recommend the wind feature because the air cuts out every now and then and on a hot day this is no good. I read the reviews that also indicated it's stability and I would disagree with that opinion. It could easily be toppled.

The speakers have a sleek design but lack power. I was also underwhelmed by the depth. I bought it as an upgrade for my Photive Cyren speaker; it wasn't enough of an upgrade to warrant keeping it.

This is the smallest case you can get that still has the airflow potential of a much larger model. You cannot fit a large air heatsink in this case comfortably. I recommend a corsair h100i heatsink works best for your CPU cooling needs in this kind of build. The look of your build will benefit from that as well. It is worth a little extra cash for this case. You can also fit a full size power supply. You won't need anything over 750 watts if you don't go crazy with overclocking. A full size graphics card will fit assuming it isn't over 11 1/2 inches in length. I used a GTX 970 strix. With all of the hardware mentioned above, you can still fit a blu ray drive in this as well. Everything will be a tight squeeze, but that is the nature of mini ITX builds. This is as compact as it gets without big compromises. Plus the thing looks great. Get a Devil's Canyon Haswell processor if you want something that can handle everything you throw at it. Its a year old, but it has plenty of power for now and the forseeable future. That is what I did. I am really happy with this case.  Sorry I can't post photos, as I am still tweaking the look of everything.

Sleek sports design. However, might not fit for people with small ears. Clarity lower than BTS50. Passable but would expect more from the price.

Sorry but there are other designs that really moves the air around. I bought another one and then 4 more because they are so good. This one...I have to pass

Vornado has an excellent reputation, for good reason. Their products are well designed and solid. I have a small shelf-type Vornado fan that (barely) got me through my first summer in an upstairs office with a western exposure. (I've since added AC.)

The first thing I noticed when I took it out of the box was that it was smaller than I'd expected--not just the footprint, but the fan itself is compact. It was easy to assemble, though as others have noted, the power brick is a bit cumbersome--the instructions say to wind the power cord around the air circulator on the back of the fan, which is pretty awkward with the brick attached, and the portion of the cord that attaches to the fan itself is barely long enough to matter. (The cord has three parts to it.)

I also hadn't realized that the fan doesn't oscillate, nor that the base, when extended, doesn't really go all that high (a difference of only 8", according to the specs). This isn't like those inexpensive pedestal fans that some gyms have to circulate air for spin classes, e.g., which extend considerably higher and oscillate to move the air around the room.

The downstairs of my house has a completely open floor plan, so I tested the fan in the hallway. It produced a reasonable amount of airflow from settings ranging from about 50 to 99, which is the top. Perhaps because it had no real back wall to bounce off, the airflow was less than I'd expected--I stood varying distances from the fan and settings from 1 to 99 and adjusted the angle of the head. I then tested it It in the largest room in the house--the living room-this time with a wall for the air to bounce off--and again, the air flow wasn't really perceptible except directly in front of the fan. (Then again, with AC, I probably won't need it there.)

The remote works well as long as you're standing in front of the fan, and it apes the control panel on the fan itself--on/off, up and down for speed.

As expected, the fan does get louder the faster it spins. But I didn't find it a problem.

This fan would probably work well in a moderate-sized bedroom or office, and with a ten-year warranty, it will probably do you for a long time. It didn't seem to have the goods for a large room or open  floorplan, except in a most basic way.

You don't need me to tell you this card is clearly a strong performer that deserves your respect and attention, so I'm going to get to the elephant in the room: the star I knocked off.

This card is substantially taller than normal. "Substantially" because this is a card for a small form factor case, like my Silverstone ML08, where the difference of a few millimeters could make a big difference. This particular case has a flat design, where the motherboard and graphics card lay flat rather than forming a perpendicular angle to one another and has a separate compartment for the graphics card, served to the motherboard through a PCI-E riser between the compartments. It makes for a very slim profile and the handle makes it very portable. (https://www.amazon.com/SilverStone-Technology-Mini-ITX-Computer-ML08B-H/dp/B0161UXWRA/ref=sr_1_1?ie=UTF8&qid=1487804075&sr=8-1&keywords=silverstone+ml08)

Previously, my 980Ti (<a data-hook="product-link-linked" class="a-link-normal" href="/GIGABYTE-GeForce-GTX-980Ti-6GB-G1-GAMING-OC-EDITION/dp/B00ZJP9DMC/ref=cm_cr_arp_d_rvw_txt?ie=UTF8">GIGABYTE GeForce GTX 980Ti 6GB G1 GAMING OC EDITION</a>, with my recommendation) fit with no issues, but this 1070's increased height made me bring out the Dremel to cut through a plastic support to make room for the card.

(More relevant to my build, I also had to deactivate a fan I made a Dremel cut to add previously, due to the power connector's placement and height. After that, the card fits nice and snug, even under the other added fans, though my additions to the case are, of course, my "fault".)

While I can understand that for Gigabyte to pack this kind of performance into this small of a card, compromises and gutsy calls had to be made, this was a problem for me. Probably not a problem for everyone, but it should be noted and accounted for in your build, especially a build where height might be a concern.

The design of this thing is great, as other reviewers have commented.

I will knock it for its battery performance.  It loses a chunk of output power and starts to distort before top volumes even then on battery.

I think if they had crammed in 6 C cells instead of 4, maybe they could have gotten battery performance more like AC.

The other knock is that with the antenna being so short, reception suffers (see: physics of FM wavelengths...) but you could add a wire to it if you needed to.

My biggest gripe though, which takes it from 5 stars to 4 for me, is that working on the roof, it just isn't loud enough on battery...

A work radio should be pretty loud, and not need AC in order not to distort.

nice design, but practicality of using it is slim to none, maybe somewhere colder climates and steeper mountains

I bought this fan with a couple of express purposes:

1. That it would be an upgrade on a traditional tower fan
2. That it would be something that I could have in a public room without much issue
3. That it might alleviate some discomfort during the short brief summers in Boston
4. It will provide extra warmth in the winter.

1.  This isn't much if any upgrade from a traditional tower.  The 'cutting' the wind thing might be true, but as for quality of cooling and air blowing, it's not much better than the 70 dollar towers.
2. It's pretty enough and can rest on a table or floor (as shown), but really should be on a low level coffee table as it isn't particularly tall.  It is rather pretty in a curious and odd way.  Not something I would buy as an art piece, but not ugly by any means.
3.  My apt probably reaches in the 80s during the day and barely cools off at night.  I have not felt much 'cooling' action or even increased air being sucked from outside.  This obviously is short sighted on my perspective not on the machine itself, but it does suggest 'cooling' despite it not having a 'cooling' process... except through evaporation.
4. I have yet to test it in the winter for extra heat, but it does seem possible to heat the air.

I am rating it as a 2.  It looks good, blows air, heats air, but doesnt really do any sufficient cooling to have it priced more than a window air conditioner.  I suggest buying a cheaper unit.

The look is stylish; the brushed metal goes well with my Mac Mini.  And obviously, having an extra four USB ports is a necessity.  However, it's not for every situation.  Any USB cable that has some mass to it will immediately weigh down the front, so that it never sits flat.  I have several USB needs that I've tried in different configurations, and it's never flat like the picture.

Good product, in the right situation.

I love the 2 qt design that is more fat then tall. Taller pitchers won't fit on the shelves in my refrigerator. My biggest issue is that lid. It fits snuggly but I still can figure our how to get it to pour without fully removing the lid. Other than that, it is a sturdy product.

Our kitchen cabinets and shelves were built for tall giants, suitable for my 6-foot husband, but an issue for a shorter 5 2 person such as me.

I can reach the lowest shelf, the second shelf is a stretch, the third up requires a step-stool, and the top one is too high for me, even with a short step ladder.

Therefore, I only use the bottom shelf and the next one higher, reluctantly. Consequently, my six large glass mugs were scattered in different cabinets instead of just one area. I grew tired of constantly searching through each cabinet, just to find my coffee mugs, and I needed the extra space, which is limited for a shorter person like me. Furthermore, when so many items are crowded on a single shelf, its just a matter of time when one falls out and breaks.

This large mug stand is tall enough, and has enough space to hold 8 large 12 oz. mugs and without clinking on each other. In addition, the ones on the bottom do NOT drag on the counter-top as there is about  inch of space below, as they hang on the hook.

General Description with dimensions:

The mug holder has an (almost) 18 inch height, which fits under our high cabinets, although I do have to tip the mug holder a little bit in order to clear lip of the cabinets front facing extender that hangs down an inch. However, the mug holder fits under, and with almost an inch before it touches the bottom of our wall cabinets.

The diameter of the mug holder is 7, and however it would require approximately 8.5" inches for the mugs to hang freely in all directions. Therefore, the hanging mugs would not bump against the wall or anything beside it.

There are 4 curved bars to hang the mugs, which go in two alternate directions, and they stick out approximately 3 inches from each side and with an upward curve, to hang a total of 8 mugs.  The upward curve of each hook prevents the mug handles from sliding off the space.

The space between the hooks is approximate 3   3  from the one above, and 7 inches between the hooks that go in the same direction. This provides enough room for my larger mugs to hang free and not clink against each other.

My last observation is the sturdiness of this mug stand, as I can have more mugs on one area than the opposite side, and it still remains balanced and upright.

In conclusion, this was an ideal choice for a mug stand holder. The holder keeps all my 12 oz. glass mugs conveniently located along our coffee maker. In addition, aside from the attractive contemporary appearance, this mug holder has a well thought out design, with the capacity for hanging larger mugs safely. My mugs do not clink against each other, nor do they scrape against the counter top, and theres no risk of my mugs slipping off the hooks.

I have submitted separate pictures of the mug stand with 12 oz. capacity glass mugs, 10 oz. black and white ceramic mugs, and the last photo shows the 8 oz. size porcelain mugs. This mug stand looks great and can hold assorted mug sizes and capacities, up to 12 oz., and in addition, none of the mugs touch the countertop when placed on the lowest hooks.

Just had this fan installed on a 20' ceiling in my great room and it looks good.  It also moves a lot of air, even on medium speeds.  I used an 18" down rod so that the blades are about 29" from the ceiling (for various reasons, I didn't want it hanging down into the room with a long down rod), and there's a very nice breeze on level 4.  I'll probably keep it on level 3 most of the time.  There are 6 levels through the remote, and the listed CFM (and watts used) are as follows:
Level 1 - 4227 CFM ( 8 watts)
Level 2 - 4987 CFM (11 watts)
Level 3 - 5734 CFM (16 watts)
Level 4 - 6452 CFM (21 watts)
Level 5 - 7285 CFM (29 watts)
Level 6 - 8289 CFM (41 watts)

As you can see, even level 4 pushes more air than a lot of other fans.  The blades are plastic but look very much like wood; my electrician didn't believe they weren't wood when he first saw it.  Personally, I prefer plastic as it doesn't warp and there's less weight variation (which can lead to being unbalanced) than with wood.  The fan is very quiet until I put on level 6 - at that point it develops an annoying loud hum and audible air turbulence. Level 5 and below are virtually silent though.  I opted to install without the included light kit (it includes a wood faux finish cover which looks good) as I didn't like the light cover look, and it's too high to change the bulb if it ever burns out. The remote is functional but it's rather big and looks a bit outdated.
Two downsides though: It's quite noisy, but only on the highest speed.  Most importantly though, the finish is quite different from the picture on Amazon.  Instead of a true distressed look with gold highlights, mine came with a smooth woodgrain finish identical to the picture in the on-line Minka Aire catalogue for distressed Koa.  Minka Aire and a third party dealer confirmed that the distressed Koa finish only comes as pictured on their web site (i.e.: with a smooth grain appearance).  Unfortunately, the fulfilled by Amazon dealer hasn't responded yet to my question about this.  As it turns out, the finish on the fan that I received is still quite beautiful (although perhaps not as striking as the one pictured) and so I am keeping it.

Design printed a bit high in space. Too close to the neck : /

I've only had this laptop stand for a few hours.  This laptop has five height settings.  I found that adjusting the height to one of the intermediate heights causes the base to flex enough when typing that the laptop rides up over the front stops.  Had I known this before I purchased it, I might have thought twice about buying the stand.

This seems to be a result of the design rather than a flaw with my particular unit.  The unit is elevated by a simple U-shaped bar that locks into a toothed support on the mesh frame.  In order to chive the range of elevations that they wanted, the first three height settings are supported from near the middle of the deck.  This causes the back edge of the deck to flex even under the weight of the laptop.  I experimented with laptops ranging from several year old to one I just purchased new a few days ago and had the same results.  This is especially true when you're using keys at the top of the keyboard.  Adding additional supports would decrease the airflow and using a heavier metal would increase the cost.  Because of the mesh design, I'm fairly certain I can stabilize the stand for use at the intermediate heights for a few dollars, so I'm not super concern.  Someone who wants to make use of these height settings and doesn't feel like tinkering with something they just purchased should understand the instability inherent in the design.

That being said, it does have some nice features.  The mesh surface does allow airflow and helps keep my laptop cool.  The ability to integrate a Rolodex USB hub is nice as well.  SO, if you just need to elevate your laptop a little to make typing more comfortable and help keep your machine cooler than it would be resting on your desk, this laptop stand will do the job.  If you plan to use your laptop as a second or third monitor, the highest setting will definitely do the job.  If you're looking for anything else, you might be disappointed.
