I really like this fan. It cools us down in the Texas summers. Performance is excellent. The fan has three speeds, fast, faster and helicopter! The dial for the water is great! I like I can turn it up or down to let more or less mist. When on high and the water turned up, it blows water about 15 feet. I also love the fact it has a catch to catch the water that drips down and puts it back in the tub for reuse.Durability seems strong with the all steel construction but don’t stick your finger inside unless you want to loose your finger. The fan blade is made of metal!!! The installation was a little difficult because the instructions were hard to understand but look at the pictures and you should be able to figure it out.Cons……. The tub that holds the water should be a cooler instead of a simple storage container that doesn’t keep ice or water cold as long as it would if it was a cooler. The fans could be a bit quieter but it’s not over bearing. It also should have a oscillation stop button but you can sop the oscillation by removing the screw on the oscillation mechanism on the bottom of the motor. It should also have spinning wheels on all 4 corners to make it easier to move easier
