I work with a laser machine in a small room, the machine kicks out a fair amount of heat so I was looking for a cooling solution which was a fair price and compact as I have minimal floor space. Cool heat solutions were incredibly helpful with their recommendations, suggesting a few options and giving the pros and cons. I decided on this blameless fan and have been very impressed. It isn't loud, the remote is very handy as I can't access the fan easily. I haven't used the alexa function but like that that is an option. It has both cool and hot options and more importantly, it isn't an eye sore. Thanks so much for all your help CHS.
