I was having a hard time working in our office as we only used window and floor fans and the room just got so hot it was almost impossible to work. I prefer to work at the table. I have found that adding ice cubes to the tank is best and they are very refreshing. The LED lights add a nice touch, especially at night - my daughter noticed them straight away! I will also be using it to cool my side of the bed even though we have windows air conditioning. Lots of punch in a small package and I wish I had had it sooner this summer.
