Honestly, for that price you can get a room air conditioner, either portable or window.

its just a fancy fan, it won't cool anything. It will move some air but not cool. Go buy a ceiling fan if you want to at least feel better without A/C

Jake it says it will oscilate 70 degrees not cool, all that thing will do is move air.

Exactly. It's a fan not an air conditioning unit.

Set your target temperature.

A wireless temperature sensor in the fan's remote control makes it easy to save energy while maintaining comfort. Just select your target "comfort" temperature (from 65°F to 88°F) and the fan stays on until that temperature is reached and maintained.

It's just moving air around, it's not removing any heat from it.
It will not cool a room.

A cieling fan is a much better choice, more comfortable, keeps floor space open and increases the value of the home.
