I bought this fan for the record 2021 Pacific Northwest heatwave, and I’m glad I did. This is a good portable device and I was pleasantly surprised that the medium and high settings both deliver about as much air as I’d expect (or even a bit more) from a fan of this size–enough to help make the record heatwave a bit more bearable. The wraparound “octopus” style tripod is solidly built; assuming you make sure it’s secure after you attach it to something, this fan’s not going anywhere until you say so.
