Rating: - Great fan. Disappointing customer service
I ordered the midnight blue version of this fan for my desk at work. When I turned it on for the first time it shorted out. I sent an E-mail to Vornado customer service but never received a reply. I called them a week later and they agreed to send UPS to pick up the defective fan and ship a new one to me. After a month went by and I still had not received a replacement fan. I called customer service again and they told me that they had received my fan and were not sure why the replacement fan had not been sent. They sent one to me the following week. My frustration continued when I opened the ... Read More
Rating: - It is what it is
I figured I'd write a review, because I feel this little fan has gotten some undue bad press.
For what it is, it is a very good little fan. It's very small, and sleek looking. Within 15 minutes of bringing it into my office cubicle, someone commented on how "cool" it looked.
Beyond the aesthetics of the fan, it produces a nice breeze on the low setting, which is virtually silent. Nothing that powerful, but you can definitely feel the breeze up to five feet away or so. The high setting seems to about double or triple the air moved, but it does produce a slight motor noise. ... Read More
Rating: - Nice Fan
I am using this fan to cool an entertainment centre's TV. It performs that job very nicely. I suggest that they actually produce a version of the fan designed specifically to cool down the interior of entertainment centres. The redesign would involve a longer power cord, and a heaver base to reduce vibration. I also suggest they include a temperature activation option so the owner can set the fan to go on automatically when a target temperature is reached.
Rating: - Not as good as it could be
I love fans and I love Vornado products so I was excited to order this fan.
The not so good: Awkward to turn on and off as mentioned. It's not very powerful, even on high. High also makes some motor noise. It also has an initial "chemical" smell, probably due to the plastic used in it's manufacture. I would expect that to go away after a while.
The good: Easy to place where you want it. Low speed is very quiet and does provide just a bit of breeze, looks good too.
Overall: It's OK, just recognize it's limitations.
Rating: - Quiet operation, great air movement
This little fan delivers! I do nails & bought this because of its ability to direct air downward to dry nails. After trying it out at home I decided to keep it here. It is quiet and I found I could raise the thermostat several degrees while I am relaxing in the evening with the fan moving the air near me. There is no "gust" like from other fans, just a gentle, yet surprisingly effective breeze.
