Works as advertised

Date:January 8, 2012
Overall, I'd say they have the product to meet your needs, or at least mine.
It does everything they claim, creating an even temperature throughout the room with the sensation of a slight breeze, which I like. I never have to use a setting other than low for my needs which is a good thing as the wind noise does pick up at higher settings. If I had a larger room it wouldn't be a problem so don't let that hold you back on deciding. Being only 8" in diameter I can attest to the fact that it does move the same amount of air as my old 15" fan which I use to sleep with. It could be quieter but that's due to the compact design and after one night I've gotten used to it.

Powerful but not quiet

Date:January 7, 2012
We needed something to circulate the air in our basement, so this is perfect for the job. It is very powerful and does a good job of moving the air, looks cute and of good quality. Overall a good buy. However, I wouldn't say it is quiet and wouldn't use it in a bedroom while sleeping. We haven't used a free-standing fan for years (we have ceiling fans that move quite slowly), so probably not used to the distinctive hum that a fan makes at high speed.

Simple yet brilliant

This is a great little fan and it was even better that I was able to pick it up from online for a reduced price. Really enjoy it.

I'm a fan of this fan!

Date:December 6, 2011
I have bought 5 of these fans and have broken a couple over the years (my fault). Upon ordering repair parts I was shipped what I needed without any cost whatsoever. These fans push the most air with the least amount of noise. I have one running year round. I wont own any other!

Great product!

Date:December 6, 2011
I had a number of different fans before that were all much larger, much noisier AND much less effective in moving air through the room.
This small little unit actually pierces through the air, making it possible to position it in a window and actually reach the other far end of a 30 ft room and thus keeping all the air fresh through circulation. Box fans and other fans dont reach that far, or if they do, they make a whole lot of noise. This powerful Vornado vortex fan is nearly completely silent.

Great little fan

Date:December 6, 2011
This fan moves a lot of air effectively. I love the design and the circular airflow. It is an excellent primary source of air circulation or as an adjunct to control AC bills by moving the cooler air around more efficiently in your home. I love Vornado products and this one is no exception!

it doesnt work

Date:December 6, 2011
i received my vornado months ago I turned it on and it didn't turn on. I fiddled with a few things like different angles etc and it turned on when I held the top. I tried it a few other times but every time it sounded like the motor was working but the blades weren't spinning. I sent it back a month ago and still haven't received it back. I am currently using a 10 yr old fan that is so loud I can not hear anything else in the house .... but hey IT WORKS

Response from Vornado Air:By The Vornado Consumer Service TeamConsumer ServiceDecember 6, 2011
We are quite sorry to hear your Vornado was DOA. This occurs with a very small portion of our products and it sounds like you've already begun our free replacement process. You certainly should have heard from us if your replacement has been pending for a month. We are researching to see if we can locate your case and resolve it quickly. We encourage you to contact us if you would like information in the mean time. We look forward to the opportunity to resolve this issue.

Less impressed than I was hoping for

Date:December 6, 2011
I guess I didn't understand that this fan was not meant to replace a fan for direct cooling on skin. As an air circulator it works fine, but there are no true hot/cold spots in our apartment that we need to have leveled off. As an ordinary table fan, it's mighty expensive, and quite loud on the medium and high settings.

Excellent fan

Date:December 6, 2011
I have four of the Vornado fans in my home in addition to ceiling fans to help in cooling in this hot Texas climate. The amount of air moved by these fans is amazing. Really cools off the rooms. They tend to be a bit loud on the highest speed, but middle and low speeds are very quiet. This is the only fan I will buy, the cheaper ones just don't hold a candle to the Vornado, so the price is worth it.

great fan

Date:December 6, 2011
Innovation thru design has always been vornado's trademark. I have 4 vornado fans because they are quite, easy to clean, reliable and move the air! I won’t buy another fan. There are some out there who have tried to come close to a vornado they all fall short!

Excellent - glad it still gives good "white noise"

Date:December 6, 2011
My friend has 2 Vornado fans which had been running 24/7 365 for 4 years without any diminishment in performance. I fell in love and got one for my smaller apartment. I crave to feel the air moving around, especially over/around my bed for sleep. Your fan also gives me the gentle "white noise" which helps me relax. I've only had it about one month but have high hopes for its longevity, I already convinced my uncle to purchase one for himself, sight unseen. He is very pleased.
