The media could not be loaded. Works well. Just took it out of the box and it didn't wanna start but it was trying to run and I guess it was just new. Even thought it took a few minutes to run you can hear the distortion from the highest power. It makes a very loud noise it's kinda like when a lawn mower is outside.So if you have to hear what's going on while your using it I wouldn't suggest this exact one. I haven't ever had a fan this nice it's really going to help me sleep.

Great So far

The media could not be loaded. Two pieces of unfit junk fans in a row!The first fan arrived with the fan blade assembly completely off the shaft and banging around loose inside the housing. The nut that was supposed to secure the blades to the shaft was found lying in the bottom of the box! Given all the scratches on the inside of the blade guards from the blades’ sharp edges, it appears that it left the factory in that condition. (See photos) I removed the front blade guard to mount the blades properly to the shaft, but the blades are so flimsy they were bent out of shape from all the bouncing around loose, creating unusable noise and vibration. Called Amazon and they shipped a replacement.The replacement fan arrived today. It “appeared” to be assembled properly, but it began rattling horribly as soon as I turned it on. Closer inspection revealed that the fastening nut on this one had not been tightened down either. It wasn’t even finger-tight! (See video). I pulled the front blade guard and tightened the nut, but again the blades appeared bent or malformed, thus out of balance, creating unacceptable noise and vibration even at low speed.After looking at the reviews, it appears other customers have received fans with loose or unattached blades too. I called Amazon again and reported the product as unfit for sale. Good grief, China! I know you’re not known for craftsmanship and quality control, but you can’t even manufacture and assemble a simple, functioning desk fan anymore? Amazon, you really need to start pulling junk like this off the market. Making customers deal with this sort of preventable nonsense is a waste of everyone’s time and money.

Initially received a small desktop fan in place of this, but was able to work with Amazon to get the correct fan sent. Works well, but can sometimes be a bit noisy and hum.

Love it

Small but powerful and fairly quiet. Thing i like about it the most is how easy it is to clean. Idk why all these new plastic fans make it impossible to take the cover off to clean them. This one is made of metal and the cover can be removed with a few easily accessible screws

The media could not be loaded. First off, and most importantly, please do not forget that this is just a small nine inch (9") fan; so you cannot expect to get the airflow that you would get from a larger fan.... If you need a lot of air movement, and that's what you expect, I strongly suggest that you get a high velocity fan of no less than 16"... A 20" fan would be my suggestion if you want a lot of airflow... you can really feel the air flow from a 20" fan... But as for a 9" fan such as this item, well my friend, this is about the best you're gonna get from any high velocity fan of only 9 inches...With that being said, and hereafter speaking only of NINE INCH fans, such as this model and models that look similar to this one as they're all pretty much the same thing with different names... They're all great little air circulators but unfortunately, like most everything nowadays, these fans are pretty much chintzy chinese garbage and I can all but assure you that any brand new 9" high velo fan that looks identical or similar to this model, including this model, will not last you more than a year if you intend on running it full time..SO...Having personally owned 5 of this specific model fan, here is what you can expect to happen as this has happened to me with each and every one of the five I've had...When this fan is brand new, right out of the box, it will probably work very well; it will run very smooth and the only real noise will be the result of the shaft and blade spinning at high speed- totally normal for a high velocity fan of any kind... (If you hear any metallic noise at all then the fan is defective out of the box)...BUT THEN-After anywhere from 2 months to 11 months of running continuously and smoothly, the fan's mechanics will get out of whack and start making a subtle clanging/creaking/clattering/squealing/knocking, off balance kinda noise...... At this point the fan will either soon cease to spin altogether, or it will continue to spin for a long time with the squeaking creaking clanging wobbly gobbly noise becoming gradually more pronounced while continuing to spin with authority...... Once this noise begins, I've learned to take the entire thing apart and clean up the mechanics. I put a couple drops of 3-1 oil on the magnet part and also clean and lube the the front and back of the 2 pivoting holes which the drive shaft goes through.... Then when I put the fan back together it works just like new from anywhere from 3 days to a few months before the aforementioned creaky squeaky clattering noise returns...I've actually included a video of this noise... every one of these fans will end up making this noise at some point in its lifetime... On a scale of 1-10 with 10 being the worst possible, this is a 10 and its way past time to disassemble this particular unit for its umpteenth "repair".... When this noise first starts it is nowhere near this loud and pronounced... for example, the fan depicted in the video first started making a slightly noticeable noise about two months before this video was taken but since the fan is not located in a living space I procrastinated in "fixing" it.. Now that the sound is this bad, this unit will stay off until I tear it apart and "fix" it......If the fan ever stops spinning entirely, it must be turned off asap before the motor overheats and fries.Mind you now thatA:) my fans run continuously 24/7/365, andB:) my fans hang from their base upside down from the ceilingSo If you are only using this fan intermittently, you will probably get much better mileage from yours than do I...

Superb, I used it so much... I burned out the motor..will have to get another one
