I don't know why I haven't purchased one of these yet!

I absolutely love this oscillating tower fan! It comes with a remote with an On|Off button, along with 4 Settings. One is for the strength of the fan, one is for the coolness, one it's to set a timer and the other is how you would like the fan to blow (i.e left to right, right to left, straight). It also has the same controls on top. My room is 18' x 16' and this sits in the corner and cools the entire room off! It is so easy to assemble too! It comes with the fan and two bottom pieces and three screws. All you have to do is put the cord thru the two base pieces, snap them together and snap that up against the fan and align it with the screw holes. These are large enough to be tightened by hand. Plug it in and that's it! I received this item complimentary to review. I'm so thankful that I did because I have bought 3 more for the house!
