Holmes "blew" me away with this fan
It's bigger than I anticipated, but I have room for it. About 16" wide at widest part and 18" tall including handle. I was skeptical that it would be efficient because it doesn't oscillate like other fans I've had. I turned on the fan at the lowest setting and it was alright, but once I turned on the fan rotation, my mind was blown. It rotates counterclockwise at a reasonable pace, and the curved/slanted slats on the outside actually move air around the room, not just blowing it in one direction. Also, you don't have to worry about it not being adjustable; the slats also help air move up/down. This is on my floor and I can feel it from my bed about 8 feet away and 30" off the ground.
I'm also pretty picky about fans in general, because I use them for noise and cooling, especially while I'm sleeping. The lowest setting is quiet and steady, but not silent. Perfect to help me sleep. Haven't tried the higher settings because it's still cold out, but I'll try to update this once summer rolls around. The remote is also a nice touch, but it doesn't come with batteries. Two AAA batteries are all it needs. Even better if I get too cool/too hot in bed (not ashamed to admit I wouldn't feel like getting up while I'm trying to sleep or nap).
