This fan is perfect for my bed room at any time. I needed a nice fan for sleeping and this works perfect, level one blows just enough air onto me for a great breeze and sleep. The fan is super quiet for the amount of air it pushes,no fan will ever be silent. You cant hear the motor at all. totally worth it!

i attached the video to hear the fan on each setting. The video starts on setting 1 then when it beeps it goes to level 2 then the next beep is level 3 . about 10 secs apart for each setting. the camera is 2 feet away and not directly on the wind path

So initially I had bought this unit and had a bad experience with it. It had just stopped working after a couple of weeks. Surprisingly enough Miallegro is pro-active in helping their customers. They replaced it and shipped it for free. Not only that, but their customer service is actually polite. As we all know, lots of companies have rude customer service. I just had to get that out of the way in case any of you have issues with your fan.

Now onto my review of the product. I was looking for this particular type of fan because the fans that oscillate the entire tower always end up giving me problems. With the inner oscillation, I find it to be more reliable. This 2nd unit has been just that. Also the fan is rather quiet on the low setting. The medium and high settings on the fan move a large amount of air without the annoying loudness that most fans have. Unless you're a light sleeper, you'll be able to sleep with this on. If you have issues with limited floorspace, you'll be pleased to know that this fan takes up an extremely small amount of space for the job it does. Lastly, this fan just looks cool. It's sleek, has that l.e.d. display, and the display slides back to reveal the remote's location.

Overall I'd have to say that I'm quite pleased with this fan. It does the job it's designed to do and it does it well. For being a brand that isn't as well-known as the major brands, in my case it stands above them.

Best part is the whole body does not rotate. First I thought the rotation feature does not work. But once I found out it rotates internally, I thought it was innovative.

The entire product feel cheep. Sharp plastic edges, the door does not go up completely on it's own(only goes up half way). The finish looks really nice in the pictures, but is actually a dull gray plastic with ridges.

The remote being completely circular is difficult to use at night, as you don't know which function you are pressing. Not as powerful the Honeywell, and does not have features like temp. control and a removable filter.

The internal oscillation seemed like an interesting idea, but the angle of osculation is very small and you never know where it's pointing.

It's only redeeming feature, is that it does produce colder air.

Summary:
I love this fan. I bought it having semi-high expectations - it blew them out of the water. The remote is very nice, the color of the fan fits with all my interior design/dark colored themes. It's sturdy and the design is perfect.

Performance:
The fan is SUPER COLD! I actually have to lower it to temperature setting II b/c III ends up being too cold. I used to sleep with AC on 68 - I know, I know, it's very cold. I now set my AC to 75 and sleep next to this fan blowing on me. It is the best thing and has already saved me $50-$100 off my expenses.

Bottom line:
Get the fan, you'll be very happy!

The Miallegro super exceeded my expectations. I expected it to blow hot air like a regular fan. Instead, it cools the room extremely fast, it takes up very little space and the remote control is truly impressive. I really like that it is very quiet too. I plan on buying two more for my friends and family, because it is going to save us a lot of money during the hot summer months. (It's like a miniature a/c unit without the bulky, water-dripping unit hanging out of a window!)

Here was my original review I posted, until it died. My additions are at the bottom.


For people who are worried about noise, and watched the video the other poster posted, remember, that was a directional mike on a camera very near the unit. I was shocked at how silent this is compared to my other fans. At high, this is still less noticeable than my Honeywell at low.
Granted, it doesn't move as much air as that does at high, but I didn't want that much airflow unless I'm drying out my basement. For my great room, this is outstanding. When I have the TV on at a normal volume level, 12 feet away I can barely notice the fan noise at high. At medium, I can kind of notice it if I really try.

I've got oscillating space heating towers, and as others have complained, the rotating unit is annoying and distracting. This accomplishes a great range of motion with only a small portion inside noticable as it moves. And that's more seeing light behind it as the inner mechanism pivots side to side and you are lined up right.

There was no smell or noise along with the ionizing on this unit, but by the same token I haven't noticed anything accumulating around the base as their customer support told me I would when I asked about cleaning the unit. Their reply was that there is nothing to clean in or on the unit, that the "dirt" will fall to the floor near it.

I have no rattling, no unusual noise at all, on any of the settings from the oscillation, no wobble, nothing.

It is incredible on low, because the room feels fresher, you get some slight air movement occasionally as it passes you, but nothing too obvious. Very subtle and very silent. On medium, same thing just a bit more of the breeze. High, it's enough to make me comfortable after work when the house reached 81 degrees since I had the air off all day, without having to turn on the air conditioner.

Now compared to my smaller "turbo" honeywell circular fan, it's not as powerful - but then towers would never be that powerful as far as I can tell. If you need a very huge blast of air, this isn't for you. But if you're looking for something to make your area more comfortable without the annoyances of a standard fan, this is definitely a solution for you. Most attractive of all the ones I've looked at, blends very well into the room unobtrusively, and does its job well. Which is what I always look for, something designed well and functions well. This is and does.


EDIT:
24 hours later, the unit no longer oscillates. Light comes on, but the internal mechanism simply no longer operates. So returning it. Went from 5 star review to 3, won't give it a 1 since clearly this is not a "normal" issue otherwise all these people who reviewed would've had a different story, but also obviously it's a crapshoot...

There are many tower fans out there but this one got my interest because of the internal oscillation. I thought it was cool, since oscillating fans can be distracting with its movement. Glad I got this fan. First of all, the fan looks really nice, goes very well with modern interior. I also like the blue LED glow on the control panel. Secondly, it's very quiet. It does make minor rattling noise when it ocillates at the slowest speed, however at faster speeds it's not a problem. Most importantly it pushes a lot of air, cools down the room quickly. And it doesn't feel like the artificial breeze that you would get from a regular fan...feels almost like natural partly thanks to the internal oscillation. Remote control is nice too, although you have to angle it properly so that it is facing directly at the control panel. Overall I am very happy with my purchase.

This fan looks beautiful and seems to be well made. I have owned it for several weeks now and it is quiet and moves a lot of air. It has not given me any problems, my next fan purchase will be from the same company.

Great fan! I received the fan a month ago and am so far VERY pleased with it. The air it puts out is very cool, and the remote control is convenient. It definitely has a stylish look to it as well. Great buy.
