DR.PREPARE Air Circulator Fan for Bedroom, 70° Auto-Oscillating Vortex Fan, 8” Quiet Desk Fan, Efficient Cooling & Circulation, 3 Speeds, 100° Adjustable Tilt, Portable for Home, Kitchen, Office

This fan arrived today and has replaced a similarly priced russel hobbs tower fan which was far too noisy for a desk / office environment.Off the bat there doesn't appear to be unwanted extra noise other than the general wind noise you would expect from fan blades moving air, which is what i had hoped for. Other fans i have used always seem to have other vibrations due to either:the motorimbalanced bladesoscillation featureWhich adds to a way noisier experience when any of those 3 are at play. This is is not the case for this little fan, it seems very well balanced, the oscillation feature adds zero extra noise and overall the look of it is a very nice smart looking fan.Speed option wise there are 6 - 3 of which are speeds 1-3 while the fan is static, the other 3 speeds are the same but the fan will oscillate. There is no remote control for this fan - it's all done by a single dial.Speed 1 is perfect for an office / desk environment - it gives enough airflow while near you but also being very quiet. The other two speeds offer much more airflow but at the cost of noise - but by no means is it bad at all (again its just the usual noise of blades chopping air & wind noise which you'll never get rid of).There is an option on this fan to disassemble the front and remove the blades for cleaning. This does require a screw driver and unpicking 4 tabs - i feel this could be simplified to just be tool-less and use the tabs, but since this is brand new i haven't used this feature yet, but it seems simple and modular enough to keep it clean.Portability wise - this is not going to be very portable for travel or such - the head of fan is quite deep and the base is equally as awkward. Plus i wouldn't like to put any stress on the mount between fan head and base as this does look delicate - so not great for travel but for placing somewhere static - perfect.Very happy with my purchase.

Excellent quality, works great, and it's more quiet than I'd expected, so much so that at times I forget that it's on. I have it tilted more towards my ceiling where the air flow will fill the room keeping it lovely and cool and producing a really nice breeze over you now and then. It's like being outdoors in a mild intermittent breeze. Of course you can have it facing you directly or oscillating from side to side. It's a great fan, really powerful and cools you or a room down very quickly.

Seems nice and quiet on low settings only, which is fine as it does pump out enough cold air at night if you have it on bedside cabinet to keep you cool without keeping you awake. the higher the setting the noisier it gets, had mine on all night on low setting last night kept me cool and never disturbed me,

Arrived a while ago, I purchased it to keep my Ham Radios cool in the summer as I am in a room that gets to 30c+ and the fan willl keep them cool while transmitting.Position 1 is very gentle and silent, position 2 is what I will be using for my radios. Position 3 for very hot days in the room.I have a feeling it will be used in the bedroom as it is a very quiet fan on position 1.Buil quality seems good

Bought this for use in the summer when it was unbearably hot. Kept it by my bedside table on the lowest setting and despite the low humming, kept me cool and resulted in much better nights sleep. The humming of the fan is of course louder on the medium and high speeds but I would not say this is excessive noise. The strength of the fan is impressive for its size.As a fan for personal use, it worked well, and I would buy this product again.
