It really moves the air

Needed a purifier and got this one. It is larger than expected. Louder than expected but it moves and clean the air well. The sound is manageable. The blue light doesn't bother anyone. Overall a very good purchase.

Love it! Its powerful and even thought is not quite like a mouse, it is still much quiter than most previous fans I've had. The air feels like a natureal breeze, puts me right to sleep.

I love this, it gives plenty of air movement.  High significantly moves air.  I was happy with the length of the cord as it allowed movement around my desk.  Only grip is it tends to "sag" a little depending on the angle you want it at.

Love that it blows out more air and extremely silently at the same time.

This may not be the most stylish or glamorous fan, but it's very, very quiet, and moves a lot of air.  It's also very light, and easy to get into places.

If I had one complaint, it would be the slowest speed is still a little strong, but, for the price, this unit can not be beat.  It's excellent.

It looks so real and moves like the real thing winds play next or below a jet

I love that it has three setting. You can feel the air flow. It picks up well.

In the midst of summer I walked into a local department store and, being a bit overheated, took a stroll down the fan isle. When I passed the Wind Machine I was literally blown away. Really a great fan. I kept putting off purchasing it, because who really needs a fan in Seattle? But after a few hot days I gave in and ordered this off Amazon.

On the hot days this fan keeps us cool. On top of that it is very light and easy to move. A great addition would be a motor to turn of bladed front grille. That way if you wanted the fan to blow to all corners of the room you could engage the motor.

That's a minor problem with the fan. In the direction it is pointed it really blows.

This thing can move lots of air! I take my kids for swim competitions every weekend during the summer in the hot humid VA weather. This think keeps cool when there is no air movement around us. I had to bring an extra battery to make it through the events on mid-low setting (variable knob, not the 1-2-3 switch). Only con is that it noise especially on high.

I love this fan and was surprised at how much air it moves. I mostly run mine on medium as I use it next to my chair. It lasts a couple of hours so I charge it at night so itll be ready first thing in the morning.

This small fan actually works really well, you can also customize for cooler air. The fan is adjustable to move closer or further away as it dangles around your neck.

This fan moves a ton of air even if that air isn't easy to move.  That's what it's intended to do, and it does it with a minimal amount of noise.

That being said, it may not be for you, and I'm not sure it's for me.  At full song it's damn impressive, and while pronounced, the noise isn't that displeasing, it's very audible.  I kinda expected all of this, so 5 stars plus the (air movement/noise) * displeasing audio ratio is great.

As this fan is designed to be controlled, I plugged this into my Asus 97 motherboard, and typically run this at 45% (it doesn't run any lower) where 2700rpm is 100%.  It's barely audible at this speed, and it's moving a lot of air (I use this as an exhaust fan where it should only need to run faster if intake fans fail).  Faster speeds are more audible (louder than the noises my Saint Bernard makes laying on the floor), and again it's rather loud at full speed.  I'm a little disappointed it cannot run slower, but my board can turn it off when not needed, and as I'm using this more as an added safety net (ridiculously tiny Ncase M1 itx case with i74790 and Nvidia 980), the extra oomf only comes into play in extreme cases.

That being said, I'll probably get Noctura 2000rpm fans for replacing the factory fans on my radiator.

An added bonus is that the vanes on the output side act as a crude guard.

This fan moves some serious air!  The motor is balanced well.  It is not quiet by any means, but when you move this amount of air, it's not going to be quiet!

Super fan but slightly big. Will move a ton of air though.

The fan delivers a great deal of air for it's size.  True, it makes some noise at top speed, but it's an adjustable speed and noise.  I love it for church where I can turn it down to be quiet but still get some air on my face w/o disturbing my neighbors.  I also use it on my desk top and bedside stand, and it can be a real life-saver on an airplane.  You can probably get a better fan than this for desk use, but none so portable.  Also, I use rechargeable batteries in it, and they last for over 12 hours.

I love fans, I have to have them circulating air during the day and night. This is a fabulous one with lots of power, but it's probably much stronger (and louder) than what you're expecting.
