The fan does a great job of, well, being a fan. The controls are straightforward, range of motion is perfect, volume of air it moves, etc.We use this during the summer time when it gets hotter and we want to keep it cooler for our dog (no A/C). We place it right next to his bed and he lays next to it all day.Only complaint is that it is a bit wobbly; when you are pressing the controls the portion between the fan and the base gives a bit. I'm not too concerned about it, it just makes the build quality feel cheaper.
