More power than my Hunter “Century”. I use both. The Vornado is excellent circulation..low setting is more than powerful. The negative is the plastic band around the cage (Hunter uses an aluminum band with an adjustable screw!). If Vornado changed that one thing ...it would be unmatched.
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'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.
I use it in a 10x10 bedroom during hot summer days and in garage by my chair as well as kitchen. It has lasted years and glad to have this tool for added comfort. A cooler inviroment with circulating air.
Pros: Adjustable, Compact, Durable, Quiet, Stable Base
