    It works fine as a fan. The lowest speed setting seems to be a bit high for me, and I can't imagine using it on the highest speed. But it does its job okay, and it is well constructed from metal - higher quality than most of the plastic housing fans out there. Good price for what you get.

    Nostalgic Metal Fan

    This fan brought back memories of growing up with metal fans, and, alas, no air conditioning. Powerful motor produces a torrent of air. Copper color is a great accent. Price was a big factor in my purchase!!! Turnaround from purchase to delivery was very short. Would liked to have bought one for my office! Would definitely recommend this fan.

    This fan was a deal of the day but I am impressed with its ability to circulate air and still be fairly quiet. All in all a great deal.

    Back in my day this was how all the fans were made, solid metal! None of these plastic fans blowing plastic air you have now. This well made metal fan takes me back to my day when I was still relevant and men were men and sheep were nervous. My new metal fan's color is copper thank you, none of those fancy rainbow colors for me!

    The BEST Fan I Have Bought as an Adult!!

    This fan is absolutely wonderful! It is just like a fan my parents had when I was a kid that has two speeds and moves in a half circle to circulate the room. It also tilts pretty much any amount of tilt you would want. I love the fan. Will have to get another one for other rooms. I use this one in my bedroom. It is perfect!

    I looked all over for a stylish fan for our guest room. Was pleased to find this vintage-style fan at Best Buy! It's as quiet as others we tried. Not as quiet as the lowest speeds on our Vornado, but so much cuter.

    This is a great fan in its looks (retro) and its efficiency of air movement, but some of the reviews said it was really quiet. I don't think it's really quiet; it's not "overly noisy" but you can definitely hear it even on the low speed. BUT it's great for what its supposed to do, which is move air around! I would recommend this product

    This fan is pretty and powerful. Two things I don't like. It is not whisper quiet! Pretty noisy. And it doesn't tilt high enough. To me it barely tilts. Maybe it's the fan I received. Also the cord is too short for my liking. Love the retro look though and it does cool nicely so basically it does the job.

    This is a great purchase if you can catch it at a promotional price. The fan works great but is a little noisy.

    I discovered this fan on sale last summer, but it was sold out when I tried to order it. This year I managed to snag both one in silver and one in bronze. They are great looking, I love the retro look. They really circulate the air around and they are not too loud, not too soft. Perfect!

    Keeps rooms super cool. Top speed might even be a little too high except on the hottest days. Good buy and looks great with retro look,
