Domestic fan vibration/rattle

I was also experiencing very very high vibration/rattle. It was clearly new, no returns or anything like that. I'm changing it now, I hope the next one will be better. Edit: The second is slightly better, but still very noisy. It's not fan blade noise but internal bearing noise that's making my desk vibrate. I'm going to return this one and try something else.

Pros
  • Regular price
Cons
  • Hard to tell

Lots of air movement options

I live in Albuquerque. The summers here are damn hot, for months. While we have an evaporative cooler in our house (much more efficient and a lot cheaper than refrigerated air), it doesn't move the air as well as an air conditioner, which is why it's on my desk. It has three speeds, will oscillate. if you want and does not take up much space. It's pretty quiet too. I consider that a good value.

Pros
  • Quick Change
Cons
  • Faulty

Well, it was nice and quiet at first.

After seeing the prices of their other fans I thought this company would make a good product. When you open the fan, it looks high quality, the materials are nice and the design is very stylish. After 3 weeks of use it rattles loud enough to wake our 2 year old. S since now I have to put the fan on its side so the rattling doesn't wake it up. sounds to me like the bearings are broken already, not very happy.

Pros
  • Nice
Cons
  • Fit

Quality products and excellent value for money!

This Vornado HELIX2 oscillating tower fan is one of the best purchases I've made in a long time! It fits perfectly in my 12 year old son's room and he loves that he can choose the speed and the tower oscillates or not. Good value for money! At least not too loud. (From previous reviews I've read, if your sound is a bit louder than you think I would suggest checking that you're using a good fan surface to sit on.) I just bought another HELIX2 today on the Vornado website and I'll probably buy a…

Pros
  • I'm holding my fists
Cons
  • Useless features

I recommend the first Vornado fan

I have several other fans with the Vornado badge and all others have justified themselves. It's not like this. I ordered it in July, after 2 weeks the bearings on the swivel mechanism rustled. I had to return it, but I figured it wouldn't take long to calm down. I was wrong. I tried to lubricate with oil and graphite, but to no avail, the mechanism fried before the end of August. About a week after the oscillating bits died, the fan started making noise on high settings, but it still worked…

Pros
  • Useful not only for its intended purpose
Cons
  • Operating speed

Totally unimpressed

Product arrived in a condition that might indicate previous ownership, although purchased new. The box appeared to have been taped a second time and there were several marks on the power cord next to the pins that looked like kinking or handling damage. After switching on, the fan began to produce an audible rattle at all three speeds. Pressing/moving the device temporarily stopped the rattling, but it returned within a minute. I have requested a replacement fan to see if it is just a bearing…

Pros
  • Only positive
Cons
  • I'm concerned
