From a smoke free home, this was used years back, requires AA batteries (not included) Has an on off switch and turns on to work the way it should but the ceiling mount and wire are no longer with it. This sale is for the witch alone but no mounting pieces for her to fly. With the package and directions I think someone handy or crafty could put something together for it to work the way it should again, I have also seen them listed as personal fans to set on a desk so that is another option, it will turn on and sit flat without a problem.
