You might think this is a perfectly preserved air circulator built in the era of FDR, and The New Deal, when laborers were well-paid and appreciated for their excellent work. It has that kind of quality and workmanship! This is made to last a lifetime, like so many of the post-war machines I've inherited from my dad and grandpa.
Read product information and reviews praising Vornado's air circulation and we wanted a fan that would look good in our family room so we bought the VFAN sr. Pedestal Vintage Air Circulator. Very happy with the all metal design, the teal color and surprised at how far this Vornado fan can push air. It really gets the job done.
This is the second one I've purchased. I have an "L" shaped living/dining room. I have one fan pointed one way and the other fan on the other side of the room pointed in the opposite direction. They move the air great and look fantastic!
We absolutely this fan! We already owned the Vornado VFAN Jr. in the same green color (it's now in our downstairs bathroom), so we figured Sr. was going to amazing as well & we are right! We live in a split-level home & our downstairs bedroom has a bit of a low ceiling. The ceiling fan that was in there was just too low (if I can touch it, that's too low/I'm only 5' 3.75") for this room. The fan pulls were always hitting my 6' tall husband in the face & he regularly hit the lights/fan blades when raising his arms. So, we decided to get rid of the ceiling fan & replace it with a beautiful & very affordable light fixture that is flush with the ceiling. And to keep the air down here moving, we bought the Sr. fan & put it behind our bed's headboard (I Love sleeping with a fan on all year long). Sr. absolutely moves a ton of air---definitely more than our ceiling fan did. Sr. is also far more beautiful & mutable than a ceiling fan as well! Sure, it is a bit louder, but we enjoy the sound of a fan---especially considering we have one shared party wall (we live in a townhome) & our home also backs up to some tennis courts (& tennis players can get loud at times). We cannot be more grateful & happy for this purchase, Vornado! Thank Y'all so very much!! =:-)
Although this is by far the most expensive fan I've ever purchased, I can't say it's not worth it. It's very stable, takes up almost no floor space, is quiet and keeps the air moving and feeling cool in a house with no A/C!
