This is that fan where part of the housing is attached to the blades, creating an airflow dynamic like the ultra speed Gentle Typhoons have (AP-30, etc). The motor is the smallest I've seen on any fan of any size. This possibly allows for low power consumption but there is no amperage listed on the box or the product page.
What the above features provide in terms of performance are longer blades that start closer from center of the motor/spindle, and extend farther out to the edge than normal fans, presumably maximizing airflow.
However this fan has only average airflow compared other silent fans. So much for the unique design...
If you use a filter the airflow is GONE---with such low pressure that may be normal but the flow is even more reduced than with other quiet fans (Gentle Typhoons are amazing with filters, even at low speed).
The $20 price is outrageous. The True Quiet Pro is a gimmick and I could only recommend it at about $12 or less.
