I bought this fan about 3 years ago from Linens and Things for about $15 after rebate. Though the CFM is low, that can be a good thing, in that many other fans blow too hard on their low setting or are noisy. This one blows gently on the low setting but still can knock all the papers off your desk on the high setting. On both the low and medium settings, it is sufficiently quiet.It doesn't take up a lot of space and is very easy to move around. It can be opened to be cleaned, though not nearly as easily as circular fans. The timer functions well enough.
It finally stopped working after 2.5-3 years of heavy use (as much as 18 hours a day during our summers in Los Angeles). So it did it's job pretty well, especially when considering what I paid for it. I haven't figured out yet what part of it broke, but seeing that the switches still work solidly, it might just be the motor. If I can repair it (e.g. it was merely a fuse or something else easy to fix), I'll amend this review. In the meantime, time to look for another one.
