Perfect size! Super powerful - really cools off a room whether you position it directly towards you or towards the ceiling. It was easy to assemble, packaged well, light weight, well made and a great value for the money. This model has three speeds. I use the highest and middle speed only. The highest speed is not quiet but not loud - it’s the perfect sound for the sleeper that is calmed to sleep by the sound of a fan or white noise. I would stick to this brand if I need an additional fan in the future - I love it!

I purchased a pedestal fan to put on the side of my bed to keep my cool at night. While this fan definitely moves a lot of air and with relatively lower noise, it don't think it's a good choice for this scenario. Fortunately I can use this fan in another place of my home, but I need to buy a different fan for my bedroom now.To cool a person in a bed, I think the ideal placement of a fan would be so that it is higher than the person in the bed and aiming down at them. This would allow the air to move over the person.The first issue is that this fan is relatively short and maxes out at 38". I see several other options at reach 45" or even over 50". To be fair, I think this fan can blow air at a faster speed, so if it was taller I think that would make it pretty tippy. But this fan has a solid build, it's just lower to the ground than many other fans.Also, the adjustable height range is quite small. I'm shopping for a different fan now, and many have 8", 10", or even 12"+ of adjustable height. The height adjustment on this fan is a bit annoying. Likely you'll set it and forget it, but with such a small range I'm not sure it's even worth bothering.The other issue is that the fan won't point downwards. The head pivots upwards but the lowest it will go is level. Other pedestal fans I've used will also tilt slightly downwards.I prefer my bed to be slightly higher off the ground. As a result, the best configuration I can get for this fan is that it effectively blows to the side of the person in the bed. This person would effectively block all the air and the person on the other side of them would likely not benefit from any air movement. This is why I would prefer a fan to be higher and blow downward so the air would effectively be a layer that flows over one or both people in bed.Again, this is a well-built fan. I think it will work really well as an air mover in a larger space. I'm not using in the living room where it's a fair distance from the sofa, but you can still feel the breeze well.

This fan is great! It’s a nice size, not too large or bulky, but still powerful. It feels sturdy and durable. It’s nice to have on these hot summer days and easy enough to move it from room to room with me.

Love the fan. Great air circulation..Nicely built and sturdy, not wobbly like some other brands. Fits perfect even in a smaller room. Easy to put together. Delivery was prompt. I’ll be purchasing one more for my bedroom.

I needed a standing fan to cool my livingroom. My house is not air-conditioned, so the few days of 90-100 degree F temperature can be a little much. This fan is powerful and really cools off the room. It seems sturdy and does not rattle, yet.
