Another fan of the fan added: 'Great size, good build quality for a good price… not loud at all, even on the highest setting.'
But some weren't impressed with the noise. 'It is described as 'quiet'… even on its lowest setting it is distractingly noisy,' one review noted. 'I have returned this in favour of something quieter.'
Still, many agree it's great value for the price. As one reviewer summed it up: 'For the price it is amazing. I'm using it on the lowest setting and it's blowing out a nice amount of cool air.'

Tech giants' indirect emissions rose 150% in three years as AI expands, UN agency says
GENEVA, June 5 (Reuters) - Indirect carbon emissions from the operations of four of the leading AI-focused tech companies, Amazon (AMZN.O), opens new tab, Microsoft (MSFT.O), opens new tab, Alphabet (GOOGL.O), opens new tab and Meta (META.O), opens new tab, rose on average by 150% from 2020-2023, as they had to use more power for energy-demanding data centres, a United Nations report said on Thursday. The use of artificial intelligence is driving up global indirect emissions because of the vast amounts of energy required to power data centres, the report by the International Telecommunication Union (ITU), the U.N. agency for digital technologies, said. Indirect emissions include those generated by purchased electricity, steam, heating and cooling consumed by a company. Amazon's operational carbon emissions grew the most at 182% in 2023 compared to three years before, followed by Microsoft at 155%, Meta at 145% and Alphabet at 138%, according to the report. The ITU tracked the greenhouse gas emissions of 200 leading digital companies between 2020 and 2023. Meta, which owns Facebook and WhatsApp, pointed Reuters to its sustainability report that said it is working to reduce emissions, energy and water used to power its data centres. The other companies did not respond immediately to requests for comment. As investment in AI increases, carbon emissions from the top-emitting AI systems are predicted to reach up to 102.6 million tons of carbon dioxide equivalent (tCO2) per year, the report stated. The data centres that are needed for AI development could also put pressure on existing energy infrastructure. "The rapid growth of artificial intelligence is driving a sharp rise in global electricity demand, with electricity use by data centres increasing four times faster than the overall rise in electricity consumption," the report found. It also highlighted that although a growing number of digital companies had set emissions targets, those ambitions had not yet fully translated into actual reductions of emissions.

Amazon settles State Farm lawsuit alleging it stole elder care technology
June 5 (Reuters) - Amazon (AMZN.O), opens new tab has settled a lawsuit by insurance company State Farm accusing the e-commerce giant of copying its patented technology to develop elder care services for Amazon's virtual assistant Alexa, according to a filing in Delaware federal court. The companies asked the court, opens new tab on Wednesday to dismiss the case with prejudice, which means it cannot be refiled. State Farm said in a statement on Thursday that the case had been settled under confidential terms. Spokespersons and attorneys for Amazon did not immediately respond to a request for comment on Thursday. Bloomington, Illinois-based State Farm sued Amazon in 2022, in what the insurance company said was its first-ever patent infringement lawsuit. According to the complaint, State Farm met with Amazon in 2019 and 2020 about incorporating its Sundial senior-care assistance technology into Alexa-enabled devices. The lawsuit had accused Amazon of copying patented Sundial features, including its "circle of friends" for coordinating caregiver responsibilities, a chatbot for seniors to interact with the platform, and check-in and monitoring services. Amazon had denied the allegations and argued that the patents were invalid. The case is State Farm Mutual Automobile Insurance Co. v. Inc, U.S. District Court for the District of Delaware, No. 1:22-cv-01447. For State Farm: Michael De Vries, Adam Alper, Akshay Deoras, Kat Li and Leslie Schmidt of Kirkland & Ellis For Amazon: Doug Lumish of Latham & Watkins, Adam Greenfield of White & Case Read more: State Farm lawsuit says Amazon stole elder-care technology
