When I found this cool fan online I was taken aback by the looks of it. It doesn't loom like a fan but some nice decorative item. I am using this with my ac at home and the cool air circulation has improved a lot. Also I use my ac now at 26 while I was using it earlier at 23. So there are savings as well. I have placed it at the corner of the room and it oscillates to circulate the air throuhout the room. An interesting design for a portable fan I must say.
