This fan is nice and quiet when it is new. however after about a year or two it will get extremely quiet...because it will stop turning. no turning of the fan blades = no air movement = time to throw this in the garbage. You can take the fan apart and lube the shaft and get it working again for two weeks or so, then back to no worky. Fans from long ago would last for decades, many old fans from the 50s, 60s are still working. why not these new ones? they are designed to work till the warranty is up and not much longer. so you have to keep shelling out the dollars for a new fan. Maybe if they used a better bushing or get this - A BEARING where a bearing belongs then the fan would not need to be replaced often.. but such is life in our disposable world. blah

For operations where the fan runs and oscillates constantly such as a greenhouse? The power of the motor works against you. Because the strong torque will undermine the integrity of the plastic around the metal holding the fan assembly to the base. It will crack and then break after about 4 months of non-stop running. If you don't oscillate it will last about a year before the motor just stops. One lasted 11 months before failing. Probably from dust accumulation. It has a short life with everyday use. I've owned four of these. Only one made it past a year. The last one when the base cracked from oscillation was returned to the manufacturer under warranty. The Squaretrade warranty I bought was thus not applicable. That was perhaps 8 months ago. Holmes has not contacted me by e-mail or by letter. No refund. No replacement. No communication. This is not for agricultural applications. Probably for any application it has a very limited life span. I kept buying it because it is compact and strong. Strong torque, strong blast of air. And I thought perhaps Holmes was honest about their warranty. They are not. The unit has a design flaw. A motor too powerful for the strength of the plastic. It torques itself to death. It gathers dust like crazy because it is so strong and it is about impossible to clean it without blasting it with compressed air. If you can get it past a year, the Square Trade warranty is OK and you are golden. If not, both the fan and the Square Trade expenses are complete wastes of money. Your odds are probably 50/50 with normal use.Read full review

Its awesome because it throws out the air unlike the original fans that blow with ordinary grill designs. The patented swirl grill design is more efficient than the plain style on other fans.

Fans arrived, all four of them, I opened two and both had parts missing, loud and powerful, more than I need or expected, has two setting high and low, they are both about the same VERY high very little difference. More annoying than a welcome air movement. Parts missing on both opened are that which changes from stationary to rotating back and forth. Stuck on rotate... Not for me, Shipping box they arrived in very flimsy and falling apart but individual boxes fans were in were not damaged, to my surprise.
