Small fan - Big Performance
This is a 2nd purchase of this Chinook fan. 1st one was purchased 5 years ago in 2017 for the bedroom and it ran almost 24/7. It ran faithfully and quietly until it finally stopped working (or so I thought) a few weeks ago so I purchased another. I was not willing to just toss out the old unit so I was reading in the directions that came with the new unit (before I threw them out) that the fan should be oiled if it ever slows down or heats up. Doh. So I removed the blade and a few drops of sewing machine oil down the shaft brought the old feller back to life. I use that one at my office desk now.Great little fans, easy to clean (and oil). Once you get the little rubber feet positioned properly it is quite stable and vibration free.Air flow is quite good at low speed, and very good at high speed. And yet still quiet.A little more dollars than the budget cheapies, but I have gone through 4 or 5 of those in the life span of one of these.Good value and worth a few extra bucks if you want a small fan that is quality built, quiet, and will last.

Best small fan ever!!
I purchased my first one at least 10 years ago after seeing what a great little fan it is -- my dad had purchased one years before. There is absolutely no sound when on and it has such a nice gentle breeze on either speed. The fan blades are perfectly made of a durable plastic to do the job and yet soft should you come in contact with the blade. I'm sure its not recommended to stick your hand in when turned on but no fear of an injury. Perfect to have around children and pets. This is the ideal size for on a counter or nightstand wherever you would like air movement. Doesn't vibrate so it doesn't move around. I just ordered another one to have upstairs. After showing it to some friends they have ended up buying one as well. You will love it!

Utterly Reliable for 7 Years
I have used this as my bedroom and desk fan for seven years in a row, and I've used it every summer day since I bought it. It's quiet, it pushes a lot of air, easy to clean, and has been bulletproof for this whole time. The fan blades are soft plastic and they won't hurt your hand, children, or pets if they were to put a digit or hand in it. The motor inside doesn't seem to be bothered by being interrupted or jammed, either. It has two fan speeds, fast and slow, and the unit can be rotated vertically. There is no horizontal rotation, and it can't aim downwards very well (the fan blades hit the stand).The price does seem high for a desk fan, but what you get is a truly high quality, robust, yet simple product for the price - as an added bonus, if you would need to fix anything it's really quite easy to take apart and reassemble. I've been told that these are commonly found on fishing vessels and other boats, and I totally understand why. These things are absolute tanks.10/10, would buy more if I needed them.

great little fan
I love this fan. It's small, can fit on edge of desk, small table near chair, bed, anywhere. It's pretty quiet and really strong to cool you. I highly recommend it. We've had one of theses for years, always loved it and recently bought two more to have in other rooms. Can also be placed on floor to cool you. It has two speeds and is able to tilt up or down for placement of air flow. I have white and peach colored, which is really pretty. Buy it, you won't regret it.

Perfect small fan
I own 3 of Chinook fans and love them. They put out the right amount of air without taking up much space. I have one in my kitchen, bedroom, and office. By circulating the air it makes the air conditioning feel more efficient. 2 speeds and adjustable angle.

What all products should be
I've reached the age where I can't sleep when the air is too close regardless of temperature. After my last trip without getting quality sleep, I decided I wanted a fan which was packable. This fits the bill. There are cheaper fans, most are now USB, but they are underpowered and largely cheaply made and disposable. This one is sturdy, powerful, and has replaceable parts. It is quiet. And it really moves the air, enough that it doesn't have to blow directly on me to feel it. This is how things used to be made once upon a time.

Attractive, portable, works for my needs
PROS:*Sleek attractive design, looks good on most surfaces.*Easy to unplug and move from room to room, especially compared to my other larger fans.*Low noise, though good for those who may like some white noise.*Cool wind travels up to six feet at high speed. Though some find it's not powerful enough for them. It works for me since it's a personal fan. It won't cool the room and you need to be directly in line with where the fan is blowing. If you are looking for real power that blows you out the door, this fan ain't it.*No cage means easier to clean blades and was the main reason I purchased. I haven't had to clean it yet.*I usually have the fan on for hours at a time, both day and night, and so far, so good.*The rubber on the stand has a great grip and keeps the fan from falling over if you knock it accidentally.*I am definitely cooler in front of this fan, and it is helping get through a broken AC. (It will not come close to AC, but it's better than the alternative, which is unbearable. Unfortunately, my other fan is very loud and impossible to clean.CONS:*Fan is pricey for size and settings.*I have accidentally put my hand and finger in the blades. It hurts. I would not want a small child touching them at high speed.*Fan gets quite hot on top, which concerns me as far as durability, but might not be cause for concern since lots of devices heat up.* Wish cord was longer. Limited where I can put it.NOTE: if this fan lasts, then I'd say the price is worth it.Overall, I'm happy. Fan arrived in new condition and looks just like the photos. Worked right away.

Best.Fan.Ever!
Silent, tough, powerful, reliable, adjustable, portable, safe, and highly highly recommend! I was given one that at that point was already 15 years old and I used it every day for over five years and I continue to use it every day. That one keeps going strong with only some occasional motor sounds and the rubber feet hardened and broke off.Bought a new one (black to match my office) about a month ago and it's AMAZING!! Just like the one that's now apparently 21 yrs old! I will purchase another one too for home.These fans are powerful, virtually silent, can be tilted to direction the air flow with precision, are well-made, sturdy and have non-slip feet, are portable and seem to simply work forever. They are child, pet and accident safe with the flexible blades that only alarm one if hit but do not hurt at all.Truly, I no longer see the point in getting a larger fan when these Chinook fans actually do so much.I take mine whenever I go overnight anywhere and I bought the new one this year for my office. I can feel the airflow from 5 or 6 feet away or it can sit on my metal filing cabinet just 8" from me and it is still silent and powerful. It hasn't added background noise to any of my virtual sessions or phone calls even sitting a few inches from the mic. The two speeds are enough, with me generally using the higher speed when wanting to feel significant air from several feet away. I use one by my bed all night. I have always been a 'hot body' and this little simple Chinook fan has been a lifesaver in my 'season' of hot flashes. I've recommended this fan to many people I know who struggle with heat (internal or external) or just need greater airflow around them. The only possible situation I would have some hesitancy to recommend it would be if you needed white noise. It's so quiet that it may not provide enough 'noise' for that purpose.Truly truly an excellent fan and worthy of recommendation!

Ruido extraño
The media could not be loaded. El producto se entregó antes de lo esperado y eso que viene importado de Estados Unidos, lo recibí en México. Pero no llevo ni una semana con el ventilador y ya está haciendo ruidos extraños sin siquiera haber sido movido del lugar en donde lo puse desde que lo recibí, lo uso unas 3 horas al día durante el HomeOffice y para las noches. Llegó el viernes, está haciendo este ruido insoportable en lunes cada vez que el ventilador apunta un poco hacia arriba. Muy caro como para que esto pase a tres días de comprarlo.Edit: Logré arreglarlo jalando fuerte pero cuidadosamente las aspas hacia afuera pero cada unos días vuelve a esa posición.

Efficient
This is a small, quiet fan. I have used these fans for decades. For it's small size, it is an efficient air mover.
