I wanted a classic metal fan like the one I grew up with, and this looks like it’s basically a remake. It’s heavier than most modern fans, and it feel sturdy. It’s quiet, too, which I was worried about. And it looks like a classic.
Is it as heavy and solid as the one I remember? No, not quite - and the knobs are lightweight plastic, not the heavy bakelite that lasts for 50 years. On the other hand, it doesn’t smell like burning plastic, so I am calling it a win.
I’ve only had it for a month, but sitting on the floor of my home office it has kept me from needing another air conditioner.
I would recommend this to a friend!

Received this vintage model fan as a gift. I was totally blown away with the amount of air this thing moves! Had it for a week then it just stopped working . I took the bottom lid off to see if there was some evidence of the failure - no fuse, no weird smells, no sign of melted plastic... just a lemon I guess. I have another modern fan with this brand. Works great. Wouldn’t recommend this model.

Doesn't work well outside

We use the fan on the outdoor lanai and it does not reach more than about 10 feet. I think it would be better suited for the inside.
Pros: Quiet
Cons: Lacks Power

This fan is the most beautiful modern day fan ive ever bought it is so quiet and it even looks better then the original silver swan. I hope Vornado brings back another classic antique fan design. I highly recommend this product if you like antique retro fan designs.
