I knew I couldn't nor did I want to pay more than $50 for a good fan. And, if I did invest a little more in ONE...i wanted it to be made of chrome with steel blades....NOT plastic. Well, I couldn't find any chrome/steel blades for less than $79.99. Still too high for my budget, I called my local hardware store in my upper westside neighborhood & the mgr. was kind enough to listen to my specifications & without hesistation suggested I buy this fan. He guaranteed I would like the fan...that it is very reliable...with high velocity.....steel blades....made of ALL chrome with 3 speeds & wouldn't take up much floor room. It was an industrial made fan. So...based on these specs & features, I made the purchase. Fortunately, it was priced within my budget.
Well, the store mgr. knowing I was homebound & unable to walk a block to the store delivered the unit himself..did assembly it for me...a few screws here/there...which took all of 5 minutes. He then plugged into the outlet for me..turned on the fan showing me the 3 settings. That was on Friday afternoon (June 29th)...& I have been running this fan every since...24/7. Since my current air conditioner is not working & I need a replacement ASAP...this fan was my only way to cool down the room making it more bearable. Well, after using this fan for the past 4 days....I am amazed on how well it "cools" off my very large studio apartment no matter where I sit. This fan has an incredible strong motor making it quite efficient to run. It'just perfect. It comes with with a simple owner's manual (more like a pamphlet) instructing you on cleaning & maintence.
The only drawback is there is no warranty on this unit from the manufactuer, however, I spoke to Windstream's customer service representative who advised me to keep the receipt from the store & if I have any problems with it over the next several months, please call them back & they will help me....."not to worry"...they stand by their product. Well..you can't ask more from a good manufacturer than that kind of promise. So, you know the unit is 140 Watts which is quite powerful & efficient. The manufacturer ONLY produces FANS so they are exclusive to the design & production of fan units ONLY catering to both large corporations, plants, & now homes.
If you try this product, i know you will NOT be diaappointed at all. Believe me..I am hooked. The quality & constrution of this product is indicative of manufactueres's high standards of 20 years ago. Forget the plastic ones...even the most popular brands. They are a waste of monies. WINDSTREAM is the one to buy when you want a chrome/steel blade fan designed to last for many years. This is a terrific product...& this particular model works quite well in my very large studio apartment or any large room & won't take up space. I am so very happy with it! We are entering a 2nd heat wave in the city this week...but I am keeping 'COOl' with my Windstream fan.
