I am using this fan to blow heat from the room my wood stove is located in, past the stairs to the second floor, to heat the rest of the first floor. Before installing the fan, the second floor was sweltering hot, while the remainder of the first floor was too cool, even with mild outdoor temps. With the fan in place, it is moving the heat to where it needs to be and keeping most of it from just going up the stairs. It is USA made and has a heft that suggests a good heavy duty motor. Also has a nice long cord to reach low outlets. Has two speeds, according to the box, delivering 60 cfm and 90 cfm, consumes 25 watts.

At first I was going to give this two stars because I like the design, however I realized that I don't want to lead people into thinking that this fan does its job.I've been looking at several door jamb fans so I can move some of the cooler air from one room to another in the summer. I have a small office off of my dining room that gets a little stuffy. I chose this fan over the Entree-Air fan because this fan has two speeds and has the same size fan (and I heard that the other one is quite noisy). I thought that this fan was the answer so much so that I bought two (which will be important later on).
Pros: compact shape
bottom mounted 2 speed switch
bottom mounted cord
mounting brackets
Cons: IT ONLY MOVES AIR AROUND THE EDGES OF THE FAN BLADES. I don't know why, but it if you put your hand directly in front of it (within a few inches or even a foot away, you feel NOTHING. This isn't rocket science if you don't feel the air, it's not there. I thought it was defective, so I plugged in the other fan I ordered same issue. This fan is supposedly rated up to 50 / 90cfm (low / high). Around the edges, the air really moves, but it's been more of a white noise maker that hangs in my doorway than anything else. For $45, I expected much much more. Plus, the color is not really white, but a cream color reminiscent of the faded plastic from some old appliance circa 1970 something.
I have found a solution though the O2 Cool Portable Fan (can be found on Amazon but I got mine at Pathmark for $7). It can be powered with two D cells or you can purchase an AC adaptor $10. Small fan HUGE amount of air and a lot cheaper than anything else. I inverted them in my doorways hung using 3M pulltab strips. The only concern I have is longevity The fan was not designed my my intended purpose, but we'll have to wait and see.

Significantly noisier than expected. Even on low, you know it's there. Also moves less air than expected. Even on high, it just doesn't feel like much. All in all, I guess it serves its purpose, but there has to be something better out there...Honest reviews on Minuteman International F-10 Room to Room Doorway Fan
Way too noisy to even run. This is just a small ugly off white fan piece of crap. Get a computer fan instead.Find helpful customer reviews and review ratings for Minuteman International F-10 Room to Room Doorway Fan
Any 5 in. Fan cannot move much air fast. Bot, over time, this one serves well to banace temps between two rooms, saving a few cents here and there. As Uncle Herkimer always said: It adds up.
