Bests & Worsts Reviews from Amazon

I'm very pleased with the 908. I was looking for another HT 800 but found out that it was discontinued. This one is bigger and quite effective. Had it about a month now and only used it a the lowest setting, so far. We've had some 100+ degree weather recently and this one has come through like a champ. It's pretty quiet. Some folks seem more concerned about using fans as 'white noise' generators, but as a cooling device this one works! I notice that the price has gone up, so I'm glad I got it when I did. [update, because I'm only allowed one review] Fast forward to May 2012. I bought a second fan from another online store. I noticed two things, the new version now has a fuse in the plug and, maybe more importantly, the fan speed is slower than the original 2010 version (judging from the lowest setting). Looking more closely at the underside of the bottom of the fan, it appears that while both are still Made in China, the actual manufacturer might have changed. So, I'm hoping the quality and construction hasn't changed, especially after reading the other recent reviews saying it didn't last them. My old 2010 edition is still going strong and I've just unboxed for its 3rd summer season. With the older one I never considered the other two higher settings. Now with the newer one, the slow setting is fine but might need to notch it up on occasion. Will monitor through summer and update here if necessary. [Oct 2013 update] I just wanted to note that my 2012 edition fan broke last month. The fan still works but the rotating/tilt ratchet (both sides) broke. The round plastic piece just shattered for no apparent reason. Now, I have to prop the face of the fan to keep it facing forward, else it will point straight to the ceiling.:D Kind of disturbing since I don't think that I excessively used the tilt mechanism. And as for the 2010 edition fan, it is still working fine.
