Not a fan of Vornado

What a disappointment. On the other hand, it's cute. Besides, there isn't much positive to say about it. It should provide air circulation in a small space. I placed it in my tiny bathroom and only felt the air movement when I brought my face or hand directly to it. I don't understand why it has such good general reviews. I have another small "Vornado" that can be used on a table or similar to blow straight at you. He almost didn't move his air. It didn't even let my hair fly. I'm not sure why…

Pros
  • Worth the money
Cons
  • Will do

Not even close to its price

I returned the first one because it kept making various noises of ringing, grinding and banging. With the second everything was fine for some time, but now, after 4 months, it also twitches and the speed increases or decreases, sometimes to a standstill. Completely unacceptable for a $60 fan. Update: I contacted Vornado about their offer and they promptly sent me a replacement (they couldn't offer a refund as it wasn't purchased directly from them). Good customer service but we'll see how long…

Pros
  • Only positive
Cons
  • Some minor things

Update: These fans lasted less than 6 months

They ended up buying 3 colors and in less than 6 months they made a terrible noise. We can't even use them and now I can't return them. So it's terrible coming from a company that should be a great company. Waste of money unless you are looking for a paper scale which these are. Trust me I have two Hunter metal desktop fans that have been running for almost 5 years now. Will buy a few more NOW. I bought 2 of these wonderful fans, a red one is also for my daughter. They produce the perfect…

Pros
  • Weight
Cons
  • Some defects

Amazing retro look, poor performance

I have a mid-century design aesthetic in my home and wanted a table fan for my son's nursery shelf and thought it would be perfect as it looks retro. It arrived and seemed solid and of good quality. I wanted this fan for airflow and some white noise while he sleeps. The airflow was adequate, but the noise was actually a little quieter than my other fans in the house, and it didn't block household noise either. Pro for those looking for a quieter fan, Con for those looking for white noise. Also…

Pros
  • Looks lovely
Cons
  • Hard to tell

Great airflow and build quality - then why is the bearing so bad!?

****UPDATE 02/27/18**** Except for 1 star. Each of these fans has squeak/squeak/rattle issues. Vornado's answer is you destroy your fan (by cutting the power cord at the base), send them a picture with the power cord and the serial number in the photo, then send you a new one. They do it relatively quickly, but it's a huge waste. I will do another exchange and hope that in 8 months time they will have improved their manufacturing process but I am not hopeful. **** Original Review **** This is…

Pros
  • I hold my fists
Cons
  • Ugly packaging

Great fan. cheap engine.

I really, really want to love this fan. It looks great in our home, originally built in the 40's and recently renovated with a mix of vintage and modern finishes, just like this fan. It's small enough not to be uncomfortable and moves the air around the room fairly well, which is important if you live in a house without air conditioning for the few days we really need here in Seattle. Unfortunately, the motor on this fan is one of the cheapest I've seen. After noticing an odd, higher-pitched…

  • Best

Looks cool because it is. (revised 7 months later)

I have no problems with my fan. It's not quiet, but it's stable, so the noise is off. It's hard to tell how big it is in photos, so I'll just tell you. If you had a globe on a stand that spins, and the globe was the size of a volleyball, that's how big the fan would be. It's blowing straight at me from 7 feet away and I can feel a nice light breeze on my face. I didn't have to touch the thermostat. Very nice.++++Okay, so this is a real conversation. After a while I read reviews about the fan…

Pros
  • Regular price
Cons
  • Not bad
