EDIT: I bought this in August 2015. It is now late-January 2018. I have used this fan nearly every day, and most days I turn it on when I go to bed, and it runs all night long. After 2 1/2 years, I can say that it runs just as well, just as quietly, as the day I got it. I am absolutely satisfied with this purchase.
I am very much pleased with this fan. I own a Lasko tower fan, which I love, and I needed another fan for another room. The tower fan is 3-4 years old and works perfectly fine and costs ~$50-$60. Is this thing worth twice the cost? Maybe. Does it generate twice the air? No. Is it twice as quiet/half as loud? No. Does it look twice as good? No. Will it last twice as long? I have no idea.
So why buy this one? It looks nice, it's very sturdy, it moves a good bit of air, and it really is very quiet. On the low setting, I can forget that it is on (it is about as quiet as my floor vent/register). It has a good remote, and it also has aTurbo mode. What is that? It's like turning the volume up to '11'. I think turbo is best for short bursts - quickly cooling a hot room, or clearing a room of smoke, for example, It's nice, but I have not really used the Turbo button yet; just tested it once or twice.
This is a nice piece of machinery. Fit and finish is excellent, assembly is easy, and it just feels like a high-quality product.
Is it worth the ratings? Yes it is! Is it worth the price? Maybe. It is to me, and I expect to have this for many years. In fact, the other night I turned off the overhead ceiling fan and opted to use this fan instead. It was whisper-quiet on Low yet moved plenty of air - made for good sleeping.
Anyhooooo......I thought by the time I got the thing together, it would not work from all the abuse it was getting before I figured things out! But once it was together, it worked like a dream! Very cool air! It is VERY quiet! On low, I can barely hear a whisper out of it. On medium, theres a bit more air-gushing noise, of course, and high is gushier, but still quiet compared to other fans. When you hit turbo-boost, its the gushiest of all, but still not loud or annoying. It can oscillate if you want, or not, which is done manually with the pull up/ push down knob on the top of the back. The remote uses 2 AAA batteries, not included. With the remote, you can turn on, turn off, change speeds (3 speeds + turbo), and there is a seperate button for the turbo. The blades are light transparent blue, very thin and flexible. You would not think they would do a very good job, but they do! They really put out great air, and this fan is as good as any metal-bladed fan I have ever had, but so QUIET, unlike the metal ones! The grills on this are metal, and easy to fit together. Plus, its easy to take the grill off to clean the fan.
I started to give it 4 stars because of the aggravating assembly, but I love it so much I just couldn't deduct a star! It looks good, has a big heavy stable base, puts out great air, is easy to clean, can oscillate, is height-adjustable,the perfect size, has a remote control, and IS QUIET AS A WHISPER, so what more could you ask for?? THAT IT WOULD COME PRE-ASSEMBLED! THAT'S what!! LOL!
UPDATE: Still cant say enough good stuff about this fan!! Honestly, it has to be the best, quietest stand-fan in the world!! Still no rattling or humming! Just lots of cool, quiet air!! LOVE it, and it was totally worth assembling! Dont hesitate! Buy it! A bit more costly than the cheap ones, but you get what you pay for, and why waste $30-$40 on a fan thats going to drive you so crazy you wont run it?? And if you do run the noisy, humming, rattling thing, it wont put out even a FRACTION of the air as this Rowenta!! BUY THIS!!! You get what you pay for! I paid $116 plus shp, and even though the price has gone up since then, still worth it. Might wanna look around on the internet for it on sale, though.
UPDATE: I HAVE HAD IT 1 & 1/2 YEARS NOW AND ITS STILL GOING STRONG AND IS LIKE NEW! HAVE NOT EVEN HAD TO TAKE THE GRILL OFF TO CLEAN THE BLADES, I JUST DUST THE GRILL WITH AN OLD TOOTHBRUSH EVERY COUPLE OF MONTHS. STILL LOVE THIS FAN!

I would highly recommend this fan . If you are picky the only thing it needs is a spot to hold the remote on the fan so you don't lose the remote but that's not a big deal other than that it is perfect and the turbo move a lot of air while not making almost no noise can't say enough good things about this fan. Buy one today you will not be disappointed . Five star for sure.
We had been suffering with silly little fans for years...and then I found THIS master-of-all-fans.
Super sturdy [and thus quite heavy], reminds me of how quality goods were once made.
Super quiet as all the reviews say and no, it isn't even loud in the Turbo-Boost mode. We LOVE the remote control.
Just buy the fan!
