I bought this fan from Target after an old box fan I had finally died after 6 years. This was the only model available. It is thinner than the older model, so is not as stable when standing alone on the floor. It does move air about as well- in my experience, you can't beat a box fan for cheap window ventilation. However, it lasted around 6 months before the motor died, which is much too short a lifespan for such a product. I've had many box fans over the past 20 years, and I've never had one that lasted less than 3 years- until this one.
What's great about it: Cheap; moves air well
What's not so great: Unstable; Broke in ~ 6 months whereas earlier model is still going strong after 4 years
