This review is for the "manual" model, not the upgraded. The last thing we want in the house are more wireless devices etc.I had previously purchased a rechargeable brushless fan, and was so impressed by the efficiency and almost total silence of it, i decided to investigate a corded model to replace our noisy, yet decent, Vornado.After much review checking it came to to either this one or the Dreo. Based on the and that the Dreo was not available in white i went with this one. I am sure they are both fine, but this is the one i chose.Now even though it is a little expensive, i was sort of expecting something that worked, but was the usual flimsy Chinese dime-store stuff. However i must say it looks really nice, and although it is plastic (ABS) the unit has a decent feel and heft to it. The white is a shade between egg shell and cream, and works very well. The control panel is nicely engineered and the LCD is clear and not overbearing. The remote is just OK, it could do with some improvement. If it was not round, it would be easier to hit the right button in the dark.Sound. It is really quiet. I have excellent hearing and do not like noise very much, same with my wife. From speeds 1-3 you cannot here it at all 10 ft away. Only the very slight sound of the DC motor when oscillating, and i mean very slight, it is inaudible to most people at that range. The Vornado sounds like an idling turbine even on the lowest setting, very annoying to sleep with. At level 3, 10ft away the only way i know the thing is actually on, is the breeze flowing over me. 10/10 for noise control. from 4-7 it is very quiet, lots of air and the quietest fan i have ever heard. 8 & 9 there is obviously more noise, the sheer amount of air moving will cause turbulence, there is no getting past wave theory...Air flow, goes from slight breeze, to better than a Vornado on full. 10/10. Given it uses a max of 22 watts (including the oscillating motor), this is really efficient. On the low settings it uses only 5 watts.Easy to clean, takes a few minutes. 9/10Oscillation. 8/10 it works well, i like the ability to select the angle range, we particularly like 30 degrees. However it will only use the selected range if you activate it using the remote. If you touch the main panel button, it goes to 90 degrees regardless. You have to deactivate the oscillation, and restart from the remote to get what you want.Modes. 10/10 we do not use "turbo" seems unnecessary. Eco is fine, but in truth the low power draw of the unit anyway is sufficient for me. Sleep mode is excellent, and in fact we keep it in that mode permanently.Timer works as expected, no issues with it.I really like the fan, and in fact we ordered a second one. However there are a few things that could be done to improve it. 1) redesign the remote to make it easy to use in the dark, change the shape, or put a raised bump on it to be able to quickly orientate it (with sleepy hands). 2) there is nowhere to store the remote. The rechargeable one has a little dimple in the base to store the remote. Something like that would be a great addition. 3) The power cord could be longer, it would make placement more adaptable, without ugly extension cords. 4) provide a hook, or clip-on retainer for the power on the vertical column, this would both provide a more tidy appearance, and would prevent the cord and dc plug from being stressed or damaged by a careless user. A clip-on retainer in the same color would work well as it could be used on either column section, depending on how the fan is configured. 5) allow the oscillation angle mode to be retained when the power cord is removed. Right now it is lost and has to be reprogrammed.In brief, this is a good looking, highly functional fan, with only minor deficiencies. It deserves the 5 star rating. If you like quiet, and lots of air, this is a good fan to buy.

This is definitely a solid fan. I do appreciate that it can be adjusted to a taller or smaller height.The lower settings are really quiet. You won’t hear it while it’s on, and it still does a great job sending a strong airflow.Now, I’m going to say this because I also got it for white noise purposes. You can hear the fan the higher you go on the settings, but if you are getting this solely for the white noise — stick with a box fan type. This fan is never going to be as loud as the industrial/low to ground type of fan. Felt like I needed to put that out there because I see a lot of ads for this claiming it’s “super loud”. It’s roughly a medium on the noise scale (and barely at that).To summarize. Good, solid fan that delivers a strong flow of air, and can be adjusted height-wise. White noise level is not the highest. But if you don’t want a super loud fan, this may be the one for you.

I ordered this fan because I watched a video review of comparing this Levoit model to a similar Dreo model. I was seeking a really good fan that was also quiet. I was going to do a video review, but the audio part really didn't do this justice, because it is a very quiet fan on the lower settings. It has 9 settings with options for oscillating, timer and other features. Both the Levoit and Dreo are very quiet, very room cooling fans. I have both. Personally, I think the Dreo has just a tiny bit more quietness, but some people want to sleep with the sound of a fan. The Levoit has 5 blades, but there is no difference in the cooling effectiveness between 3 blades (Dreo) and this Levoit model. I am so impressed because I was able to discard my dinosaur Lasko fan that was loud and had a humongous base. This fan has a small heavy weight base and comes with an extension piece if you choose to keep it on the floor instead of a table. It is also easy to take apart and clean! It is perfect for any room and does an outstanding job of cooling the room temperature. If you buy one of these, you will never go back to Lasko fans, so spend the extra to get something nice. I would also like to add that the Levoit customer service is awesome. The first fan I received had noise that troubleshooting would not solve. I sent customer service a video and they sent me a new fan with a label to send the other one back. ( Always keep your packaging a few days on any appliance). Their response time and follow-up is truly impressive. I'm very happy with this purchase.

I’m someone who likes a little white noise while sleeping, plus the cool air of a fan. I’ve tried white noise machines and they just aren’t the same. I’m always shocked by how many ppl want their fans to be utterly silent bc I know there’s more ppl out there like me who want some noise in the background. Anyway, I decided to try this fan and it doesn’t disappoint. I don’t write reviews usually, I think I’ve written fewer than 5, but 9 months into owning this fan I LOVE IT. The air circulation is amazing, but it’s also the best of both worlds. At the highest setting right next to my bed, the white noise is perfect. But if I lowered the setting, or if I had this fan in a bigger room like a family room, I wouldn’t be able to hear it. So, fellow white noise fan seekers, I think you’d be happy with it too. I’m going to buy another one before the southern summer kicks in for real, and it’s worth every penny.

I really like this fan. It's heavy duty, very powerful=blows cold air hard and quietly. It has a long cord so I can swing around the corner into my bathroom with no window to freshen the air. It's so adjustable. The only thing I wish I could change is the light on it, showing what level you are using. I sleep with my eyes partially open, so I "see" the light. I covered it with a sticky note, so not that big a problem. I've bought many fans, this one is excellent!
