I own 6 vornado's, 4 different models, including this one. My two oldest are 8-10 years old and still running strong. Great for circulating air all over the house. Only fan I would own, worth the price

On the highest speed the fan does blast a nice strong cool gust of wind and this continues steadily as long as you run it. On the low speed (there are only 3 speed settings) it works up a pleasant breeze.
But frankly, for the amount I paid for this fan, I expected better.
The things I dont like about the fan are:
- It does not rotate or oscillate. So you have a choice of having it constantly blow gusts in your face or else have it point away from you all the time.
- It does not have a remote control.
- It is short and needs to be placed on a table unless you are going to be sitting on the ground or on a low chair.
- It is much more expensive than other fans I checked out and so I expected it to have more advanced controls - temperature settings, maybe oscillation, etc. It is extremely basic in its features: 1, 2, 3 and off.
I have been using it only for a couple weeks so cannot comment on durability, life etc.
I would not buy it again. The next time around I am going to buy a cheaper $30 model that does the same thing.

On high, this fan is like a wind cannon. I can feel the breeze 40 feet away. On low, it creates a nice breeze and is quiet too. I also like that it is compact. A much better choice then a box fan.

Great for getting circulation in a room. Bit noisy at full speed but you can adjust and the best effect is produced, as the manufacturers recommend, by aiming the fan at a wall so the air currents bounce around. The customer service is outstanding - my experience is they provide thoughtful, thorough email replies within 24 hours.

I really like this fan. It is small, lightweight, easy to move around and pretty quiet. I have it positioned by a window when the AC is off, and move it near a vent with the AC on and it does seem to help.
