I just replaced my 20 year old Silver Swan fan. It looks great. Works great. I expect it will give me 20 more years of service.
I would recommend this to a friend!

High quality, but carrying handle needs new design

I bought it about a month ago. So far, I love it. The only constructive criticism is that the handle that is used to carry the fan from one room to another is designed poorly. This is not a deal breaker, but I hope the Vornado engineers are listening. The handle is WAY too close to the back of the fan. It need to be set back a few inches so you can get your fingers wrapped around it. Secondly, the handle itself seems a bit 'sharp' and uncomfortable. I'm not sure why they didn't round the edges off. In general, I love this fan.

Absolutely fantastic

I've used this fan every singe night, for the past 10+ years, to help me fall asleep. Every couple of months I use compressed air to blow the dust out of the motor compartment, and it's always ran like a champ. I fear the day that this fan no longer works (and Vornado quits making this model) as there is nothing else out on the market today that can beat the quality of Vornado. I'm far from kidding when I say that I am contemplating purchasing a second fan and not using it until the first dies. My only complaint is that the On/Off speed switch is made of cheap plastic. At one point in the fans life, the switch cracked, which made it useless. Vornado would not sell me a replacement switch, so I was forced to mail the fan back to them for repair. The fan is HEAVY, so shipping was crazy expensive.
Pros: Built to last, Durable
Cons: Cheap On/Off fan speed switch

Rim that holds back & front grills together

There was dust on fan blades that needed to be cleanrd. Removed circular rim last week and spent better part of my Sunday trying to reattach rim. My fan now sits there. I have reached out to Vornado Help .com site. I will keep you informed
We shall see. Not impressed with this at all.

Stopped working the first week

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.

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!

Pros: Adjustable, Compact, Durable, Quiet, Stable Base
