We’re going to return our fan. The main reason why: So. It does blow air, but otherwise it’s no different than our tower fan. It’s not terribly strong in terms of blowing out cold air. We also bought 6 large reusable/refreezable ice packs and the fan comes with 2 small plastic containers you can fill with water yourself and freeze. So with these ice packs and water, the fan doesn’t blow very cool air. Other reasons why: I had a tough time putting the wheels on the unit. The door to the back of the unit (where you’d insert ice packs, etc etc) is also difficult to put back on. I was afraid of breaking the plastic. We got this fan for a small bedroom so we didn’t get this unit expecting it to cool a large living space.

Waste of money. Our tower fan works better than this. The air is cool, but not enough to cool a room and keep it cold. I would not recommend.
