It came very well packed and protected in undamaged box yet upon unpackaging, blades displays irregular bend and noticable wobble. Even with that consideration, it is physically as I expected and reasonably well constructed... "A funtional novity" as I've seen described. But, air movement is far below what most reviews imply. I used a standard facial tissue as guage... At near middle of "optimum operating temperature" (450°F) the tissue only raised to a 45° angle from upper corners held at close upper level of the blade. Raised temperature (650°) elevated tissue only slightly more to less than a 60° incline. In comparison, my cheap rechargable fan of similar size (and only slightly higher price) will stand tissue at full 90° on low speed and tissue flutters like a flag in a wind storm on high speed. That being said, this may move some heat into your room but basically you are looking at a heat tolerant novelty item more than functional. Fortunely, the price is low compared to a good appearance. Also I wonder, why do all these fans come with exposed blades? Maybe as they get far too hot to handle, the threat of open moving blades (even at comparitively low speed) may help warn of the overall danger.
