I've used this fan for a couple of years and have had no problems with it. The design saves space. It is quieter than most fans. It features 3 speeds, a timer and can swing or not. I do not use the "night" or "natural" feature which turns the fan on and off every few seconds it seems more distracting than natural. It comes with a remote control though the same buttons are on the fan itself. A final consideration if you are looking for a fan with a high-power breeze this is not it, though I have been satisfied with the air flow.

These new tower fans are a significant improvement on the traditional airplane propeller style fans in that they occupy vertical space versus horizontal space. The squirrel cage design allows a higher output of air with less noise than a traditional propeller.
I have had this unit for a couple of years now and have for the most part be very pleased with it.
The base controls do what you need it to do; power, fan speed, oscillate. The timer can be useful if you are trying to save electricity. The sleep/breeze mode is mostly a gimmick due to the sound of the fan speed surging while operating in some of these modes. The remote control can be pretty useful, with a decent operating range from across a 10' room. The remote isn't very ergonomic and they apparently thought that writing out the button functions in English was a better alternative than using the icons seen on the actual fan.
I have two gripes though about the fan, one major and one minor:
The major problem I have with this fan is that after about 6 months, I noticed what appeared to be grease dripping from the base of the fan housing. Turning on the oscillation verified that the grease that kept the oscillation mechanism silent had emptied out and now it makes an annoying 'grinding' noise when oscillating. I have attempted to disassemble the outer housing to lubricate the plastic gears, but have not had much success in quieting it back down. The minor problem is that due to the age, the bearings holding the squirrel cage tower are starting to go, causing occasional wobbling sounds when the unit is operating. Most often this can be cured by turning off the fan and turning it back on.
Other than that, it does what it is supposed to do. The price is a little more than I would expect it to cost, being made in China and all, but I have been pleased with it where other floor fans have gummed up with dust and other debris, causing them to fail over the long haul.

What I like about it -
1. The remote is a great feature sometimes I get hot in the middle of the night and it's great to just grab the remote from my nightstand rather than have to get up.
2. The handle on the back makes it easy to move from room to room.
What I don't like about it -
1. It was wobbly when I first assembled it and there is no way to tighten it to make it not wobble.
2. I have no idea what the "night breeze" function is all about it just seems to switch on and off intermittently not sure what it is supposed to be simulating.
Overall, it works pretty well, but as I said in the headline, you get what you pay for it is an inexpensive fan, so don't expect the quality of anything more.

The fan is pretty good. Not too noisy, and puts out good quantities of air. The only reason I rank it 4 instead of 5 is because the 1st fan didn't work...which I wouldn't have minded, except I had sent it as a gift. Oops. 2nd one works perfectly though.

Reliable and functions. Much less expensive than "ionic breeze" or other yuppie products one might get at the S.I. Has three fan settings and is very quiet. Doesn't stir up dust and blow it around like a traditional fan does. Only draw back is that it does not have a filter.
