Vornado VFAN™ Sr. Pedestal Vintage Fan, Retro Metal, Standing Air Circulator for Cooling & Decor, 3 Speeds, Adjustable Tilt, Adjustable Height, Durable Pedestal Fan for Bedroom & Home, Green

We live in a 1950's ranch house in Northern California. We don't have air conditioning, and there are only about 3-4 times a year when it gets too hot for comfort. Rather than install central air, we have decided to invest in some decent fans. The last fan we purchased was the Rowenta stand fan. It's whisper quiet so we use it in the bedroom. We are pretty happy with it but it doesn't move a lot of air. Once the house heats up during the day, even after it gets cooler outside, the fan can't easily pull the air into the house and it takes hours to cool down the house, even when it's cooled down outside. This Vornado is a floor fan, aka "air circulator." After we purchased it, we used it in a living room about 20' by 14'. It's ability to move air is impressive on high speed. On a particularly hot night, we moved it to the bedroom to use with the Rowenta. Using these together really cooled the room quickly. This fan can push a lot of air and the Rowenta was tall enough to pull in air from the window. In the living room we have sliding doors, so the floor fan works fine. NOISE LEVELS: The fan is powerful on high speed, and you can hear it. It sounds kinda nice but is not "whisper quiet" on the high power setting. On the lowest setting it's very quiet...I had to turn the light on to see if it was turned on one night. You can adjust as needed...blast it to get the bedroom air moving for awhile, and then lower for sleep if you don't like white noise. FUNCTION: This thing is powerful...it moves air. Three easy settings...high, med., low. Very high quality, all metal construction (except fan blades...which are plastic for better engineering). FORM: The retro styling and the green color with gold accents is really gorgeous. This is something that you are happy to have sit in the room all summer...it's a beautiful little object. Great retro styling with safe electrical and grate openings (the vintage ones were much too wide for safety) But, be warned, you will be spoiled and will never want a white plastic fan again. SIZE MATTERS: I wasn't sure if I should go with the regular size or the "Sr" size. I didn't want it to be too big in the space. But since we were staring down a heatwave and I wanted to see it at its most powerful, I went for the largest size. So glad I did. It's really not large at all, but even a small increase in diameter greatly impacts air movement. Unless you want to put this on a table, go for the large size. WOULD I BUY AGAIN? I loved this fan so much I bought a second one a week later. Considering a third one.

I really like how it works with my AC & ceiling fan to cool down my family room. It fits right in front of the AC vent and really moves the air. I can feel the breeze when I am almost opposite of it, so I know that it is really circulating the air. It is quiet and the retro design is very nice and a big reason why I bought it. It is sturdy and well made. Vornado seems to stand by their products and I had an older one that they replaced under warranty with no problem. I bought the white one and the color will go with decor in more than one room, although it is pretty heavy to move up and down stairs. More colors would be nice, but I am very happy with the white one. I may have to purchase another one for my bedroom! I have had this for a month or two because I didn't want to wait around and was afraid it might become out of stock. Now that we are in a heatwave I am so happy that I have it.

This Vornado VFan Jr. Vintage is Soooo!!! beautiful, I'm very pleased!! I bought it. What more can I say about the fan? Don't expert a piece of plastic garbage, it's made out of very solid material, as everything was in the 1940's, the air that comes out is surprisingly cool, true it doesn't blow your hair away, but as I did say it's pleasantly cool. We've got a very old 1970's big fan (ugly)with four settings, this blows more vigourously, but the air that comes out is less cool, than the Jr. Vintage. It's perfect for the small table next to my bed, enough to get by on a hot summer day, even on the lower setting. I'm pretty sure one can't find a fan so beautiful & efficiënt for this kind of price. The only slightly negative thing I possibly could come up with is that the fan isn't totally silent, but the noise is very acceptabele, honestly! Nowadays I know about a fan almost totally silent costing 5 times the price and very ugly. Honestly this little fan is extremely stylish. By the way people living in Europe who want to buy this have to bear in mind that in the U.S. it's 120V. you''ll have to buy a very small transformer more or less the size of mobile phone adaptor, easily found on the internet. (220V towards 110V). This is inexpensive realy, around 10 euro. If not bang!!! Regret a lot, something so beautiful could go to pieces, only a small handiness to prevent it from happening. Also the plug in system is different but it's all on the small adaptor. You have to buy your fan first and then see on the internet what you need, easy you'll see, if not sure ask the online shop to be on the safe side. Sounds a bit complicated but it's goiing to be very simple. I'm gonna take very much care of this fan, cause I love it!! Roxanne.

Great little fan! Perfect for my bathroom. It runs quietly and helps dry things out without having to run the noisy overhead fan all the time. Really cute too! Could be used in any room.

We absolutely adore our fan. It's sleek, retro design takes us right back to when things were made with steel and heavy as hell. The top is like an anchor, and the base is sturdy so together they create a great and mighty wind. The airflow has three different levels you can barely hear the first, we sleep with the second on, and the third kind of makes me giggle because it sounds like you just jumped into a wind storm. This fan has perfect white noise, keeps great air circulating in the room, and will absolutely be appreciated on a hot sunny day this coming summer. Recommended!

It’s on the quiet side, and moves a lot of air. If it breaks, it’ll be easy to repair, because it’s well designed and made with quality materials. You can spend half as much and get the same airflow. Or the same aesthetics. But not both. And nothing at half the cost is going to be as sturdy and well built as this. So is it worth it? Probably, because it’s a good fan with good aesthetics made of mostly metal (not the blades though). I have other fans that work just as well, but they’re not as quiet. If you want a pedestal fan that doesn’t make a room look trashy, this is it.

注意点は大きく2つ。 ①当品アメリカ製です。日本製ではないため、電圧や周波数の違いからパフォーマンスダウン、使えない可能性があります。商品の詳細欄に適用可能な電圧とか何も書いてないのは偶然ですかね。 ②商品が届くのはだいぶ先と考えた方がよいです。このお店は”発送”が並の所要日数であって、海外発送のため到着に相当時間かかります。注文から2週間たちますが、到着予定日も過ぎても届きません。届くのが先か夏が終わるのが先か。 海外通販特有の税金がかからないのはメリットです。…が、不利益な情報は出さないようですので、注意した方が良いです。

This is my third review. This is a powerful fan, well designed and acceptable sound. My fan started to make a terrible noise after almost 2 years and I received a new fan in less than 48 hours as a replacement. If it works fine, this is a great fan even in compare to dyson fans.

Ele faz um barulho chato no motor na velocidade mínima, impossível de usar, desisti de devolver, pois o posto de coleta mais próximo fica a 130 km da minha cidade, um ventilador que deixa a desejar para um produto que custa praticamente o preço de um ar condicionado.

Funciona muy bien y buena calidad
