Better Homes & Gardens New 12 inch Retro 3-Speed Metal Tilted-Head Oscillation Table Fan Gold

We have the 12-inch brushed nickel model. My wife was impressed with its looks, including the brushed nickel color (see the picture), as well as how quiet it is. Additionally, we are impressed with its features. As shown in the pictures, it has a lever on the front of the base for choosing one of three speeds; it can remain in one position or be made to oscillate by pushing down on the black knob on top; the black knob on the side can be loosened to change the tilt. Besides these adjustments, it has a replaceable 5A fuse built into the plug--but no, I haven’t had a reason to replace the fuse. In these days of central heating and air, it is easy to forget the practical value of having a small fan like this. My wife prefers a warmer house while I prefer a cooler one. Both of our preferences can be accommodated by setting the thermostat a little higher (for her) and using this table fan at my desk. Besides being good for the marriage, this arrangement is also easy on the pocket book in that it will soon pay for itself (during the air conditioning season) by saving on cooling costs.
