Does the Job Well
Overall, I like it. It is not as strong as the 16″ Lasko pedestal fan it replaced, but the volume of air moved seems higher. It’s not silent, but it IS vastly quieter.On max speed, the new one is about as strong the pedestal one on low (when the pedestal is clean). However, the total amount of air moved by the bladeless seems to be more, and the quality is different. Where bladed fans produce a vortex, the new one is just a solid stream that does not fluctuate at all. I don’t know if it’s truly laminar, but it’s definitely more consistent. Because it’s a solid stream, it does a better job at getting surrounding air moving together instead of interfering with itself. If it’s not rotating, the fan seems to set up a stable flow pattern in the room (at least in my 10×12 room) as the main flow hits the walls, floor, and ceiling and circles around. The result is a noticeable – if weaker – air flow outside the main stream from the fan. The end result is that it’s more than enough to cool the room as well as the old-fashioned fan, even though it feels weaker if you judge it directly out of the fan.The Dyson may be silent, but the Pelonis definitely is not. Low speed IS very, very quiet but you can still hear the impeller if you listen closely. High speed is loud enough to push itself into your notice, but still quieter than that 16″ Lasko on low. I need fan noise to sleep well, and the Pelonis on high is still quiet enough that it almost isn’t enough.The remote works well, and there is a magnetized dock on the fan to store it. It connects to WiFi to interface with Alexa/Google, but I have not set that up yet. The app lets you access more controls such as changing the length of the arc of rotation, and I should be able to schedule routines like automatically shutting it off during the day.The main downside is the size and weight. The impeller base is large and heavy, and the aperture is big. Overall, it’s quite tall and the height is not adjustable. I first set it up downstairs next to an older squirrel-cage tower that I keep on the hearth next to my chair. The Pelonis is about 18″ taller, has a larger footprint, and nearly touches the mantle above. It’s a big presence in the room. The size isn’t an issue in the bedroom, but it’s big enough that I am no longer considering replacing the fan beside my chair with one of these bladeless ones, I would enjoy the quieter operation, but it’s just too big.Overall, I like it quite a bit. At $120-140, I am happy with the utility vs cost in a way that I don’t think I would be with a $300+ Dyson. Now to see how it holds up over time, and find out how and how often to clean it.

Edited review: Information that you may want to know
Update & FYI: I couldn’t figure out why the fan kept shutting off on its own after about 10 to 12 hours. I knew the timer was not set but this happened a few times. I reached out to Amazon and they did some product support for me and come to find out this fan will shut off after 10 to 15 hours if no commands have been entered. And apparently this is a feature to prevent the fan from overheating. I feel this information is important enough to put in the owners manual.Original Review: Set up was easy, and I added the app it says to add. I definitely love the air flow, and it is quieter than my tower fan that I had before. I also love that it’s bladeless, safety first. As long as this new fan keeps working, I will be very happy with the product.
