Kitchen & Housewares : Vornado 530B 3 Speed Compact Air Circulator, Black

Rating: - awesome power in a tiny little package
first off id like to say that i never ever thought of spending so much on a fan in my life. i usually go to the mom and pop places and buy em for about 5 bucks. After several people enthusiastically recommended this to me i was skeptical at 1st. Since many of my junk fans broke on me i thought it would be a good investment since this is a reputable company.

the fan is very powerful! I cant wait to test drive this thing in the summer. this might be a good alternative for people looking to keep cool in the summer without having to use the AC.

The only cons I can think of is that the outer casing is made of plastic,the older ones im told were metal.

update - one of the fan blades broke on me after a small drop. ive had this for about 8 months. im a bit skeptical now because the quality of the materials are low grade plastic and this is made in china...

Rating: - A Very Powerful Little Fan
I've been using it for about three months now. It is very powerful and the noise is more than tolerable. It is solidly built and is great for refreshing a stuffy room. It's pricier than other fans, but you really do get what you pay for with this little fan. I found that it does get a little noisier as it gets older, so clean it regularly if possible.

I don't think this item was new. The motor makes alot of noise when running on low and medium speeds.

Rating: - Nice Fan
Its a nice fan and it works pretty well. The strongest setting is pretty loud but that is expected. It's also a little pricey for a fan.

Purchased this fan for my grandson who is a cadet at West Point and he doesn't have air conditioning in his barracks room, just a window. He said it works great when he puts it on his desk while he is doing his work and it circulates the air in the room.
