I bought this fan after using my sister's. I was blown away (literally) by how powerful the breeze was even on a low setting. It's still quiet in comparison to other fans on the market even when at a higher setting. The rotational grill is also something I love. I don't have to move the whole fan to get the right position, I simply rotate the grill until I find the breeze I like. It's also a great alternative to actually oscillating. The rotation can be set to rotate continuously which changes the direction of the breeze and serves as an oscillator. And the remotes!!!! Love the remote feature. I can change the speed, the rotation, set timers, etc. all through the remote. We've bought two of these fans because they are so awesome, and are about to buy a third. Well worth every penny!!!!!
