What our customer's say!

"A lot less than I expected", I purchased this fan despite the high price because I have been impressed by larger my larger Vornado fans. This fan does not come close to maintaining the level of quality of Vornado's larger line of fans.

The fan is powered by electrical outlet (not batteries), has both low and high settings, swivels both vertically and horizontally, and swivels completely downwards for storage when not in use.

The key issues I have are-

Air output:
The air really dribbles out of the fan. I had a coworker place his hand in front of the fan and ask if it was turned on. Even when switched to High, it makes a lot more noise but doesn't seem to push more air. The max range that you can actually feel the air moving is about 24 inches.

Noise:
The fan makes quite a bit of noise, definitely not whisper quiet. Its actually louder than fans 5 times its size. I avoid using the high setting because its too loud for an office environment, but at the same time the low setting doesn't provide enough air.

Design:
The fan looks cool and is easy to swivel both sideways and vertically. Unfortunately, the fan does have a few design issues that just don't make much sense. The off/high/low switch is located at the very base of the fan. This combined with the fact that it takes significant pressure to flip the switch means you have to use one hand to hold down the fan while you flip the switch with the other hand. This becomes annoying when you have to quickly flip it off so you can hear what someone is saying to you.

Additionally, in order to reach the low setting you have to flip past the very loud high setting, making it impossible to discretely turn off or on the fan. This is worsened by the fact that it is not easily possible to flip it past 2 settings without using 2 separate motions because of the switch's wheel like design.

In summary:
This fan is way to expensive for what it offers. You are paying for the "Vornado" brand but it does not deliver the same high quality normally seen in other Vornado fans. Look elsewhere.
