It works well
This fan replaced one that I ran night and day while my sister visited. I had it for many years. Most fans are smaller. This one is a perfect size and circulates air in a 9 x 12 room. I loved being able to see it in my apt. using a photo on my phone.

Good product, not fire proof.
Had one of these in my goat barn for a few years and the goats loved it. That was until there was a fire, and it burnt to a pile of ash, except the base that did make it and gave us quite a laugh.

The 293 really blows!
The 293 blows! Happy Fathers Day! I just received my yellow Vornado 293. The first thing I did was flipped the face cover and installed it with the handle on the bottom to maintain that classically beautiful Vornado look. I removed my smaller model 630 and set the 293 in it's place. The idea was to move air down the hallway towards the front of the house from my evaporative cooler that is installed in the bedroom. Within minutes, his resulted in a slight breeze in the living room with a temperature drop of nearly 5 degrees. I am very happy with this fantastic fan! Key facts: -Low is 42 watts, medium is 53 watts, and high is more like turbo mode at 70 watts. -MADE IN USA I have at least 5 Vornados. If you are willing to screw one to the wall, or install it on a hallway doorjam you will not believe how much air they can move. My advise to you is to throw out those oscillating fans and buy a Vornado. P.S. If you have a box fan don't throw it away. Tape a high quality 20x20 A/C filter to the back of it and you'll have the most economical room filtration ever. It is literally THE ONLY thing that those fans are useful for;)

Solid Fan
Bought this fan to replace a Vornado that we’ve had for 15+ years. Didn’t even look at other fans based on the quality of our original purchase, and we haven’t been disappointed! Quality product backed by a quality warranty - it’s the only fan I’ll ever purchase.

Moves air quietly
Another product from Vornado that gets the job done. Moves a lot of air without making a lot of noise.

Great but did not last beyond 6-7 years, not good value
Really liked this fan. Robust and practical. But unfortunately it did not last beyond 6-7 years--just died all of a sudden, and it wasn't the fuse. Not Heavy Duty after all, and it wasn't used excessively either. I was told it was out of warranty so I am SOL, and they will give me 30% off on a replacement. I hope the replacement one will last longer than the previous one. It is not a cheap fan. In my decades of living, I've never had a fan die on me like this one--I've had fans that have lasted decades, including one old Vornado (I have 4 other Vornados too). All my other fans that I've ever purchased are still running. My Aunts in Taiwan have had fans that lasted 60-to-70 years of hard continuous use. They just don't make them like they used to or have long warranties. Not a good value proposition.

Powerful fan
It moves a lot of air which is just what I was looking for. I use it daily to circulate the stale air out of the bedroom and hallway and out the window. My only disappointment was with the tilt - not sure if mine was defective but it will not stay pointed in the angle I want it, it slowly drifts back to an upward position. I'll probably wedge a rubber stopper to keep it from doing that in the future. Otherwise, great product.

Great fan but motor does wear out in just about 5 years..
I bought this fan in 2019 and run it in the summer to ventilate the Garage. Keep in mind the garage produces some dust but not overly dirty. for the price and touted quality, I expected a few more years of service from this fan. Best just to buy cheaper fans every 3 years..

Reliable and durable shop fan
Vornado fans are reliable and durable. Easy to clean and maintain, they provide a soothing background noise for sleep. With 24/7 use, they last years. I have three Vornado fans, one being eight years old. The Shop Fan is my latest addition.

Very powerful but quieter than you'd think
I got this fan to help circulate air in the warmest part of my house. It works really well to move the air. I really like the vortex effect, it's not as irritating to my eyes as a direct gust from a normal fan. It seems to be gentler at moving the air. I like how the stand makes it so you can rotate the fan. The cool part about the vortex is that I can face it away from me and still feel a breeze.

powerful and durable shop fan
Great fan! Bought one in '09, runs daily for almost a year. Circulates air well in high ceiling space. Bought a second for summr AC. Easy to clean. Quiet on low, good masking noise on high. Durable, planning to buy third for new house.

A work horse
Powerful yet quiet. Does such a great job, I'll probably get another for the garage too.
