Anybody else bought one of these?
I stopped at Walgreen's today to fill a prescription, then walked around a little and shopped with my sister.
They were $20. Gotta say, it really puts out a breeze around the house, when you don't want to have the central air on yet.
I like it!

Our priest used to keep one up by the alter to keep him cool on hot Sundays.

It has a long black cylinder inside that is in layers.
Low, medium and high AND it oscillates too! :w00t2:

Mine is 29" tall.

I drug it in here to show you.
See, even Little Miss Nosey likes it.
Don't mind her bankie she has on the other side of the door.
I think she's pissed because I unplugged it.. gotta go plug it back in! lol
Mine is the Aries brand.

Thanks for the review PG. :smile:

I have been looking for something like that to put in the bar in my basement for the summer. Sleek, stylish and functional @ a good price!

You're very welcome.

Thanks PG.

How loud is it? I've seen some of those in action but they were quite a bit more expensive. Those were very quiet.

It's not loud at all Brian.
A nice low whirring sound on highest speed :smile:

I bought one a couple years ago when I was living part time in MD for my room ............ yep it's a winner. PG is right when she says it throws a pretty good blast! As for the sound, when oscillating you hear a faint rhythmic swish! I used it in a 18x14 room and it never overwhelmed at any speed.
