This is a beautiful fan and it does what it is supposed- circulates air. The problem is that it has a three prong plug and since my house is older, I have to use an adapter to plug it in. That means it doesn't fit in the plug behind my dresser where I wanted to use it. It requires about 5-1/2 inches of clearance to plug it in safely with an adapter. It's not a deal killer, just nice to know before you plan to purchase for a particular location if you have an older home with the two prong outlets.
