This is One Big Fan. It's not exactly quiet, but I can't really tell if it's because the machinery is noisy or if it's the noise of roomfuls of air being moved around every few seconds. If you are looking for a quiet bedroom fan to put on "low", this isn't it. Even at low it moves more air than just about any table fan on high. At high, you probably don't want it in the same room as you, at least if you need to sleep. However, if you are looking for a fan to cool off the whole house/loft/warehouse, or don't mind the off-white noise in your bedroom, this is the fan for you.

THIS FAN IS THE BEST THAT I HAVE HAD FOR COOLING OFF OF AN APARTMENT ROOM AND MOVING AROUND THE AIR TO MAKE IT VERY COMFORTABLE.

After the fan arrived this evening, it only took 5 nuts and bolts, 2 wing nuts, and a few minutes to assemble this sturdy air mover. The all-metal construction seems quite rugged, and the gunmetal finish appears durable. It stands a bit shorter than I expected -- it's only 5' tall from top to bottom.

I really like that you can angle the fan straight up. In this position, it really circulates the air in our loft with 20-foot ceilings. While more noisy than smaller fans, it's bearable when you consider the additional comfort it provides.

While the fan easily swivels up and down, you must physically rotate the entire unit (base included) to re-orient it from side to side. I don't anticipate that being much of an issue since I'm using this fan to circulate air through a large space rather than to waft a breeze directly on me.

This is the best fan I have ever purchased. Fan works so well I bought 15 of them 9 (nine) years ago and they all work better than any fan including the 45 inch floor fans on wheels. I used these fans in my home, gym, and office. This is one serious air pusher fan. This particulr model has a 30 pound weight which attachs under the base which keeps the fan from blowing itself over. I wish to buy more of these new fans, but I think they are out of production. Over the past years these fans work the very best. I nick name my fans the turbine fans and as far as the noise goes I don't think they are loud for the tremendous amount of air volume they push! I'd highly recommend this fan to anyone who doesen't want a peewee fan!!!
