Great little fan...worth the $

Love this fan...the off-white color is nice, too. I have mine in the bathroom and it keeps the shower dry after use. I use it with the blower and the door open & it keeps the tub & shower mildew-free. Circulates air and dries the area fast. Super-quiet on the lowest setting.

Got this for my mom

Guess those hot flashes are a bear. Anyway, I figure she works at dinner over the stove, she deserves a REAL fan. This one cranks the breeze. Plus it is quiet, so she can talk on the phone, can listen to her movie, or participate in dinner conversation.^M

Don't know how they engineered the airflow to go in such a tight tunnel, but it does. That means she can aim it at her from across the room and no one else gets chilled. I guess it is designed to create a breeze throughout a room, but hey, use the tool in the way that helps you most. She has used this one for 2 years, and if it ever dies, I am confident another Vornado will replace it. In the meantime, I think I'd be favorite son if it wasn't for my brothers giving her grandkids. How to compete with those grandkids, you just can't!

A better fan.

There are certainly cheaper fans to be had at your local Wally World, but the Vornado's unique design and technology justify it's price. This fan makes the least amount of noise for the air it pushes. On low speed, it's virtually dead silent. The construction is solid. You get the impression it'll be around for years. The grillwork is safe and removes for easy cleaning. And it looks good too. What else could you ask?
