It's great! It is very powerful and doesn't make any more noise than the Levoit air filter I have running in my room. There is no annoying engine hum or rubbing sound when it moves if I set it on oscillate. I can point it away from me and it generates a strong, comfortable air current in the room without having to have it directly on me all night.
Putting it together was super easy. If you have ever assembled a fan, you won't have any problems assembling this one. It is not wobbly or top-heavy--I don't know why some reviewers think so. You are not going to tip it over accidentally unless you shove it awfully hard! The base is really heavy, though, so if you plan to move it around a lot, maybe get the counter version! The controls are easy to understand and operate, too.
I love this fan. It is everything I hoped for and I feel like I got a great value for the price!
Decided to write a review because although I love this fan and would buy it again, there was one feature that drove me crazy: the ratcheting tilt adjustment barely held the fan head up and it would often drop to the lowest tilt setting. I see at least one other reviewer had this issue. After many quick looks to see if I could find something to adjust, I finally figured it out today. Right at the hinge point for the tilt, there are rounded, shiny, plastic caps. These have a little notch on one edge that allows you to pry with a flathead screwdriver. The cap won't come all the way off, but will bend back. One side reveals a nut and one side reveals the bolt head. Tighten the bolt head and everything is fixed. Since this was very annoying and I don't see other people mention it, I'm assuming that the fan usually comes with this screw tightened more than mine was.
Also, the pre-made 18" plywood circles from Home Depot fit the base perfectly. I put six casters on one of those and can now roll the fan around easily. I need to move the fan often and this had made it an enjoyable exercise instead of a frustrating one.
Negative reviews for this fan fall into several categories for me. Unrealistic expectations is my first choice. If you want something that you can knock around, use in the garage, and abuse; or if you like to ignore instructions, this is not the fan for you. Maybe Harbor Freight has something cheap, heavy, and old-tech with a large dose of unreliability that can work for you. If you are not good at reading instructions, or are in a hurry, or are under the influence, or assemble things by slapping them together, you will do yourself a favor by letting someone else assemble the fan for you. It really is easy; but you will do best if you have the touch. Yes, it is easy to break the small parts if you are not careful. Frankly, the weakest point of the fan is the instructions, both for assembly and operation; but if you slow down and read them carefully, and think it through, they are adequate. If you insist on moving the fan around without regard to its construction, do not be surprised if it does not hold up. I am talking to the folks who buy fine glassware and end up with most of it broken after a few years. This fan is a technical achievement. You take care of it like you do anything of value. Some people have a vinyl or CD collection that looks like new after many years. This is the fan for those people. Some folks use their music collection as frisbees, coasters, Salvador Dali models, and random floor decorations. This is not the fan for them. someone criticized the fan because the mount broke. If you move it around, hold the handle and also hold the base upright rod that the fan mounts to. The base is very heavy for a reason. The second weak point of the fan is that it should not be moved around a lot by simply picking it up by the handle. This applies only to the floor model. I can't speak for the desktop model. Just support it carefully like you would anything else of value that you own. The concept should not be revolutionary; but some folks think that a fan can be hauled around like a toolbox. Some can; but you can usually hear them running in the other room.
The control panel on the fan deserves special mention. It is intuitive, effective, beautiful, and easy to see and manipulate. The unusual angle is actually easy to fall in love with for its looks and functionality. I, as a person who embraces the technological achievements of recent years, do not have a problem with LED lights. The very well-designed set on this control panel seems quite appropriate to me. If you can't stand light, you have options; but don't expect the rest of the world to miss out on the benefits of great design because you haven't figured out how to get to sleep.
If you are going to have a pillow fight or a wild party, put the fan in a safe place. It is not designed to the standards of a soccer net. As an industrial engineer and an electronics hobbyist, I appreciate this fan for many other reasons; but I don't want this review to become a tome. I will say that I purchased it as much out of curiosity as out of hope that it might actually meet expectations. The German design gave me confidence. A few hours after a flawless assembly process, thorough testing, and evaluation, I ordered another one. When I saw that the price had dropped significantly, I changed my order quantity to two. Somebody actually complained about a price decrease in one of the reviews. This fan, according to the instructions is not for extremely humid locations. They also say to use a dry cloth to clean it. Based on some complaints about a rusty protective grid, that seems like sound advice.
Final note: disassembly for cleaning. I see no reason why disassembly should result in damage to the cage or the plastic ring that holds it together, or to the rather delicate plastic attachment hardware. When you clean your stemware, it requires more careful handling than your coffee mug. This fan will not weather the process like one of the other cheap fans that are available everywhere. On the other hand, it is not as difficult and delicate as tying fishing flies or handling rare stamps.

I will likely buy another one the next time they're on sale.
Added information July 7.2022: -After using the fan at it's quietest setting in a very quiet location (my bedroom) I discovered that it emits a slight hum and minor motor noise.
