Great tabletop fan
I picked this fan up from Target for the same price as on Amazon. It's well built, stylish, and quiet. I was primarily concerned about noise and this little fan is sufficiently quiet. Of course you still hear the air movement, but there's hardly any noise made at the low setting. It has a 5 year warranty which is fantastic. It's lightweight and easy to carry from room to room with the handle on top. It has settings of low, medium, and high; oscillating or not; and a tilt feature. Nice embossed logo in the center and the finish is done with quality. It looks great. Why spend $250 on a Casablanca retro-looking fan when you can get this one for 1/5 the price? It's a great buy. I'm quite pleased.
Lack of a solid base renews a pet peeve...
Taking the advice of others in these reviews, I opted for a quality fan that would last and that would be quiet. Couple that with the overall good reputation of the Hunter Fan Company, I clicked on "place order".
The fan arrived quickly and the overall appearance and quality of the fan impressed me. Then I turned it on. As long as you don't use it on the "low" speed, it's fine. However, I enjoy a nice, gentle breeze - the type traditionally given with any desktop fan of similar size on low. I can't necessarily say that Hunter chintzed, but the net result is a fan that is NOT "whisper Quiet" as stated right on the box when on the "low" setting.
You see, rather than make the base out of either solid metal (or even with a weighty filler of some sort), Hunter opted to incorporate the switch assembly into the base (rather than on the motor itself), leaving a hollowed shell with a plastic cover screwed onto the underside of it. The...
Very attractive and effective fan!
I purchased this fan as a "boost" to my central area conditioning system in my sunroom (no ductwork in this room, only in the kitchen, which is adjacent to this room). As I am into interior design, I welcome any item that "fits in" with the decor of the room (not often easy to find in an electronic item or appliance). This fan looks so good, I haven't any issue with it working with my decor; in addition, it is also well-made, and quite efficient. (There is an oscillating knob, along with a tilt feature, three fan speeds and a handle.) I don't consider it a noisy fan by any means, and I rarely need to operate it above the second speed. I believe this fan is a great investment and is sturdy enough to last many years. There aren't many companies that know more about cooling than Hunter, as they have been successfully making ceiling fans for quite a long time. (I also own a Hunter ceiling fan in my kitchen; I've had it for many years and it's never failed me.)
