This is my 3rd new Vornado. I also have 6 older/collectible Vornados. I can honestly say that these new fans represent the same high quality and performance of the 1950’s product. The service from the Vornado people is outstanding!
I bought this fan to go next to my treadmill as I wanted it to blow on me, not my legs. This was the one that went the tallest, so that is what made me choose it. I'm SO glad I did; it's a powerhouse! It doesn't seem that loud (but again, I'm huffing and puffing on a treadmill while it's running) and it is very sturdy, even at its tallest height. I thought the 'face' seemed small when I saw it, but it definitely gets the air going!
Just about the best looking fan out there and super powerful for its size...but why o why can’t I swivel it side to side?! At this price I would expect such a no brainer feature. As it is, even the height adjustment kind of dicey given the weight of the fan head and the absence of any spring or hydraulics to help with the weight. I love that the base is notched to slide closer to furniture, but because I’m unable to adjust it side to side this doesn’t really help. Overall, still happy because of the positives, but I did expect more thought and care at this price.
We love our new air circulator! It's beautiful, cools the whole room, and it gives off just enough white noise to be calming yet not too difficult to talk over. My only wish is that it oscillated as we've been scooching it around in circles to hit us as we move about the house, but I knew that it didn't going in and I love it regardless.
