Holmes HAOF-90UC 10-Inch 3-Speed Blizzard Table Fan

The house has air conditioning but some of the rooms arent as cool as others or are just stuffy. A fan really helps cool off the room and move the AC around the house more efficiently. On days that are not quite warm enough to turn on the AC these fans really make sleeping bearable.

I have them set at opposite sides of the room but I keep meaning to wall mount them. An excellent feature! There is some fan noise but truthfully, it drowns out noise coming from outside his room and I think the *white-noise* quality of it helps him sleep. The loudness of the noise is based on the fan setting.

For the price...this is a great fan. And the size is perffect for small rooms. Add that you can wall mount it and you have an excellent product.

This little fan runs great and really moves a lot of air with very little noise. I have had it in my office for a couple of years and often enough it has been left on over a weekend or holiday without any apparent harm. For the price, I don't think you can do any better.

From the other reviews, I figured this fan would either be perfect for us or horrible. (We're using it for bedroom "white noise.") It's loud, for sure, but not too loud. Certainly would not bother anyone in the next room. And it's a good fan. Plus -- the price is right! If you're interested, you should probably at least give it a try. Definitely NOT for office use -- way too loud for that!

This was by far the best fan I ever had. firstly the price cant be beat. the color is a sharp dark gray which is very classy.

on low and medium settings its fairly quiet. on high its a little nosier but acceptable. in comparison with about a dozen fans of similar size and a hand full larger than this fan at the store being demonstrated this was the most powerful. it lasted me for I believe 4 years of running straight day and nite every summer and most of the spring and fall.

perhaps the best part is the name of the fan. it suits it well for this little fan is the closest thing to a blizzard your going to get on a hot summer day. the only thing I didnt like was that the settings said low medium and high. the settings should have read medium high and blizzard.

I LOVE this fan. I can't sleep without a fan blowing both for the white noise and to keep me cool. I've had this one for several years and it's starting to wear out, so I'll probably get a new one before long. Some people mention the noise it makes; admittedly, when I first plugged it in and turned it on, it definitely seemed loud. But on the lowest setting, it's not loud enough to really bother you unless it's blowing directly in your ear or something. And, if you need it to sleep as I do, then you'll definitely notice when it ISN'T on. If you're looking for a strong fan for whatever reason, this is an excellent choice.
