Rave Reviews: "I have struggled finding a ceiling fan I liked for our master bedroom so finally decided to pick up this tower fan and give it a try. I am so impressed with how quiet it is and how much power it puts out. Having a remote is a major selling point with being in our bedroom. It's slim and able to be tucked away into the corner out of sight when not in use, but it's not even an eyesore that I mind having out to be seen. It was easy to assemble in a matter of just two minutes without any help needed. I'm already looking into purchasing a second one for my large family room as it has plenty of power to accommodate the space. The remote is easy to use and I am thrilled with this purchase!" -Jami Wil

I'm seriously so excited about this." -Liz

It is large enough to cover my entire queen-sized bed and just heavy enough to provide some weight while I sleep. It is definitely cold but not overwhelmingly cold at all. It's like flipping your pillow over the cold side, except it's an entire blanket! I love this thing, but I may have to get another one for my large family room as it has plenty of power to accommodate the space.

I'm so excited to be saving the whales and looking amazing in the process. I should ask for commission on the sales of this because all of my coworkers want one now. Another great part that I don't think the description mentions: there's NO condensation AT ALL. I also accidentally left half an iced coffee WITH CUBES in here for nine hours and when I came home the cubes were still there and the coffee was still cold. ALSO, I have tiny hands, which sometimes makes holding things difficult. But the 16-oz size is tall and slim and easy to carry/fit in small bags." -jacklynn ramos

I was seriously impressed with how powerful it was and how I instantly felt less sweaty.

It fit comfortably over my neck, and the dual fans are adjustable so you can position them however is most comfortable for you. The unit has six settings from soft, intermittent breeze to the highest constant speed, which is my personal favorite choice, since I sweat easily, and this keeps me the coolest.

Rave Reviews: "We live in Florida and realized how badly we needed a fan for our newborn. We use it pretty much on a daily basis. We put it on her car seat and on her stroller when we go on walks. I've even propped it up on our desk when I'm working and holding our daughter. The three speeds are great: low usually offers just enough of a cool down and high is very impressive because it's fast and quiet. The lights we didn't really need, but has been a nice feature to have. Our daughter hates going in her car seat and this helps to distract her sometimes. Plus, since we live in Florida, we have to wait to go on walks until later in the day, and the light lets us be seen easier. Overall, it's a great and I'd definitely recommend!" -EmLe

Low profile socks just weren't cutting it, they kept disappearing in my shoes and provided no protection from the ankle friction. These socks are perfect, they have lots of cushion, especially at the back of the heel, and they don't make my feet sweat like some socks do. I loved them so much I tossed all others and bought two packs of these." -Melissa M

This is the first pillow I ever tried new and got the best sleep in a long time. I didn't wake during the night to shift my pillow or to change sides. I normally sweat on my pillow and this pillow was completely dry. The gel in the foam really does work at cooling. Highly recommended.
