It's about $280 overpriced IMO.

I have had a $20 Wal-Mart box fan next to my bed for 12 years. It's 60% for the noise and 40% for the cool breeze.

What he doesn't tell you is that there is a conventional fan in the base. He simply crafted a circle with the same profile as an airplane wing. It accelerates the air around it while drowning out most of the noise of the conventional fan. Clever, but not worth 15 times the price of a conventional fan that can do the same work.
