After the last hot days I have acquired the pedestal fan in a grocery stores for 39.99. At first I was skeptical whether the fan is good for the price. So far, I was not disappointed. The structure is simple and described in the manual in sets with assigned form. All parts are securely wrapped in cardboard and foil. Optically always pretty but susceptible to dust the housing and the base is kept in "piano finish". The power can be switched in three stages and the fan is adjustable in height. So far, it runs at level 1, is next to the TV audible but not annoying. Here I'm talking about wind noise of the fan and do not rattle of. Level 3 has been tested but is too much wind. Thus, even in power reserves. Has not rattled the fan. My performance measurement showed a consumption of 28 watts, 32 watts and 41 watts according to ascending level. For the price I would recommend the fan or even buy himself back.
