Only LOW and MED air speeds - doesn't move alot of air
Purchased this at Target for about 40 dollars and was a bit disappointed. First of all, each fan only has 2 speeds, which is unusual for fans in general. So the highest speed is equal to a medium speed on regular fans...that's as much air as you are going to get. They used to make a 3 speed version (model 8800) but that has been discontinued. Interesting that they advertise this on the box as a feature saying "30% quieter". Yes it's 30% quieter because there is only low and medium fan speed...no high. So it should say "33% less power"! Anyway, if this was less than 30 dollars I would say it is a fair value, but at 40 dollars, it really isn't worth it as it doesn't provide enough air.
very quiet and light weight
WOW- the price on this unit has gone up since I purchased it. I only paid 34.99- you can get this same type fan with three speeds for less at the time of this writting. I would check that out first. I saw this unit in a Target ad and was in a hurry so bought it from them. On sale it was the same as Amazon. The unit is very quiet and it only has two speeds. The high speed blows a gentle stream of air across the room. I have it placed on the opposite side of the room from my reading chair and the air is just enough to keep me cool without the distraction of having to weight down everything for fear it will blow away. I uploaded a couple of photos to show how this unit swivels. I have it tiped up every so slightly so that the bottom blows towards my feet while the upper blows a gentle breeze on my upper body. This is definatly not a high volocity wind machine, but is perfect for a small room where you need a gentle wind flow. The room I use it in faces the southwest so the...
