Great Fan, Poor Internals

This product would be an easy 5/5 if the internals were of a higher quality. Unfortunately, within the span of six months, I have already had to make two warranty claims. The issue seems to be that the internals are of a poor quality. Something is prematurely wearing inside the motor and it causes a loud whirring/scraping/grinding noise. The same issue has presented itself on two separate fans now. I appreciate Vornado's warranty and the process for making a claim is relatively easy. However, I am of the mind that the product should be up to par in the first place and warranty claims should be a last resort. Even though the warranty process is relatively easy, you still need to wait for your replacement product to arrive, so you go several days without a fan. The fan has a great design and when it works, it works quite well. Sadly, the cheap mechanical parts inside the unit let down what would otherwise be the perfect fan. I also have a Vornado VFan Alchemy and that unit has been dead silent for the past two years. If Vornado were to make an Alchemy version of this fan, and assuming it were built to the same quality standards as the rest of the Alchemy line, I would buy it in a heartbeat. For what it's worth, this particular fan is not actually manufactured in the USA. Not sure if that has something to do with the quality, but just putting that out there for people who are looking into purchasing this fan.
I’ve had this fan for about 3 years now. I have a standard 10x12 room and it cools the whole room. I always leave it running and never turn it off. It runs seamlessly and fires right up everytime. I firmly believe our ancient ancestors slept with this fan. It’s the only way. It’s the right way. Feels as though you and the fan become one as you sleep. Also very stylish, would recommend to a friend.
Even though after three years, ours died, Vornado replaced it quickly with a new unit! Amazing support. American company. Will continue to buy from 100% Beautiful, retro fan. Recommended.
This fan is high enough to reach my sort of tall bed. My apartment bedroom has no window so the air is warm compared to the rest of the apartment. A fan is mandatory! Plus it gives a little soft noise to entice sleep. It can be directed anywhere and it’s easy to assemble. It also has a nice retro look. Very pleased.
I’ve had the fan for a month and a half and I love it. It is built to last. My grandchildren will be using this fan. It makes just enough noise to keep me sleeping. The only thing that could make it better is if it had a remote.
