Right out of the box I was impressed with the look and overall design of this little fan. It looks like an airplane engine, that was exactly what I was looking for. It releases enough air for me, but is a little louder than I thought it would be (maybe the reeds on mine are just a little unbalanced). It definitely impresses everyone who comes to my table and they love the look too. The only downside that the manufacturer missed was the rubber plugs on the bottom of this plastic fan. If you put it on a table (which I think is the main reason for this), it will continue to slide back until it hits something to hold it in place. I had to go to Walmart and get some rubber feet to stop it. There are little indentations for the rubber feet so I'm not sure if mine just came without them or if someone decided to save some money. Between the legs and the noise, I'm still wondering if I want to keep this little fan. I hope the seller actually reads them and makes some changes.
