Brilliant little fan, much better quality than I expected considering how cheap it is. Build is lightweight but fairly robust; with small grip-strips on the bottom so it doesn't fall over too easily. You fill the reservoir at the top with water, which then comes out - silently - as a fine mist through the centre of the fan. It creates a good amount of mist and shuts off automatically after about 10 minutes. The misting feature can be used on its own or alongside the fan, which has three settings; the highest setting is way stronger than you would expect from a handheld unit, and would definitely keep you cool in the summer. Overall a great product, especially for the summer or if you suffer from dry eyes.
