Purchased this fan from Econsave supermarket for below RM100. Have been using it for 2 years now mostly when I'm cooking in the kitchen and so far it works just fine as a standard stand-fan. It is very basic and user-friendly with just buttons for you to press ;aesthetic-wise it looks great in my home in black with red buttons. It has the 3 basic fan speeds from 1 to 3, 1 gives you enough wind, but for the hotter days you may well use speed 2 or 3. However it is typically ''noisy''(a whirring blowing sound which is expected in most basic fans at full speed) when it is on maximum speed. If you are a light sleeper, you may well be aware of the noise inside your room but if you are really tired perhaps it will not bother you. For me, I do not mind the sound because it is meant to be used in the kitchen while I am preparing my cooking and around the living hall for extra wind. For those whom are particular about silent fans, then this is not one to have in your bedroom. As far as blowing quality goes, it still is pretty great. Always test out it for yourself to see that it functions well with the kind of wind power you are expecting before buying.
