Summary: A fine fan but not really what they describe
Comment: This is a fine, basic box fan. I don't want the fan to be too quiet, and this one isn't. The low is low, and the high blocks out other noises. I use the fan both to move air into the house and to block out white noise, and this one does the trick.
But it's a basic box fan. There is no thermostat. The three modes are not particularly 'whisper quiet', as I've heard other box fans quieter and less powerful.
There's a knob on the top with three speeds and two plastic feet to help keep it from falling over.
That's all.
Which is exactly what I needed, for about the cheapest price I could find here on Amazon.
It's just not really what the description notes.
Customer Rating: Summary: Great Kitchen Exaust Fan
Comment: With no range hood in my city apartment, I've run these [at Mid Speed] pritty much 24/7 in my kitchen window for decades, sucking fresh air thru the rest of the apartment while expelling stove heat & air-borne greece, etc.
I'm comfortable with this because it's relativly easy to take the motor apart for a simple cleaning about once every 9 months [or so]. I've also added 2 circular layers of the old, cheap, black, 'washable' air-conditioner filter material between the back of the motor and the interior protective grill to lessen the amoung of gunk sucked into the motor.
What with the cooking, this filter and, for esthetics, the inside grill are also removed & cleaned in the bath tub 3 or 4 times a year. The grills are a pain as soaps are only partly effective & brushes don't quite serve for the tiny grill opening.
With all this beating, the fans have all lasted an astonishing 5yrs++ !
BTW: To deaden vibration noise, etc. I hang the fan from 2 springs at the top of the window. I noted that with the fan running I could feel air being sucked in from outside around the sides of the fan so I've made a clear plastic shroud to block these areas for greater efficiency. I've also taped bits of this plastic on the 4 corners of the inside grill wher some more air circled in & out.
