Vornado VFAN Sr. Pedestal Vintage Air Circulator Fan Green: Adjustable Quiet Standing Fan for Rooms, 3 Speeds, Portable

MCM-style, quality fit and finish, and longevity are all reasons to consider the Vornado 'Senior Pedestal Vintage Air Circulator' fan for home or office. Home & Back story: A Vornado family for over six-years, within our household we have four such fans in different rooms. We also have two low / off the floor versions (same style and quality, not on a pedestal), and one Vornado heater. Quality: One of our fans just stopped working, died all of a sudden. It ran daily for over six years like a workhorse. Sadly, it died just outside the 5-year warranty... but am not upset. I am very pleased with the build quality - so much so we plan to replace with another next week. Office: So pleased I opted to splurge and get one for my MCM office. It runs daily on medium, positioned toward the ceiling and moving great air flow daily. Should you buy? Yes. I am frugal but invest in quality that lasts - of the opinion 'cost per use' is more important than overall cost, as 'cheap' does not last. This fan is worth the cost, as the price per use is low.

I don’t know why anyone would buy one of those dopey looking box fans when you could have a fan like this!

I have had the fan about a month and it has worked very well. Moves air better at medium setting than a standard pedestal fan at high.

This is the second fan that I have purchased within one year. I would recommend this to any of my friends I am 100% happy

As I grew up, visiting my grandparents’ home that had no air conditioning, she would turn the Vornado on in the living room. And I would lie down on the floor. And the sound of it would put me to sleep, period. Summers in Georgia are hot and of course the wind felt good, but the sound of the Vornado, for me, was magical as it lulled me to nap. That is the main reason I bought this fan. Expensive for a fan? Yes. But already, I have fallen in love with my VFan Sr because of the flow and more importantly, the sound. Even my cat is lying there under the fan I believe because he is lulled off to sleep. My AC thermostat is set higher because the air movement is so comfortable that I don’t have to use it as much. Ask me if I love my VFan and you get a resounding yes. It took me years to purchase, because of the price, but I finally did and am as happy as a lark.

I absolutely love this fan. It is quiet, powerful, heavy, and well made. And it looks good in our house. I had grown used to the crappy plastic oscillating fans that we have used over the years and stopped thinking about fans as part of a home cooling strategy. With these new VFANs, we have bumped up the thermostat setting for our heat pumps and are even more comfortable than when the temp is lower. I'm already trying to think about where I would put a 3rd.

If hurricane winds are what you need, buy a Vornado! If you are a woman experiencing hot flashes, you know exactly what I mean. If you are wanting to ditch that cheap, plastic and just plain ugly fan, invest in whatever model of Vornado you are currently eyeballing. Yes, Vornados are more expensive but you truly DO get what you pay for. If vintage is your preferred eye candy, buy the vintage Vornado. As for reviews complaining about noise levels, I can only assume these are people who are stingy with 5 star reviews or have never owned a fan. Maybe these reviewers are new to planet earth and have no idea how a fan works? Yes, there is a hum because fans have motors. If you need a fan but require complete silence, do not buy a Vornado. Matter of fact, do not buy a fan, period! Probably best to just forget about them and suffer in blessed silence while the rest of us are enjoying our Vornados.

This product would be an easy 5/5 if the internals were of a higher quality. Unfortunately, within the span of six months, I have already had to make two warranty claims. The issue seems to be that the internals are of a poor quality. Something is prematurely wearing inside the motor and it causes a loud whirring/scraping/grinding noise. The same issue has presented itself on two separate fans now. I appreciate Vornado's warranty and the process for making a claim is relatively easy. However, I am of the mind that the product should be up to par in the first place and warranty claims should be a last resort. Even though the warranty process is relatively easy, you still need to wait for your replacement product to arrive, so you go several days without a fan. The fan has a great design and when it works, it works quite well. Sadly, the cheap mechanical parts inside the unit let down what would otherwise be the perfect fan. I also have a Vornado VFan Alchemy and that unit has been dead silent for the past two years. If Vornado were to make an Alchemy version of this fan, and assuming it were built to the same quality standards as the rest of the Alchemy line, I would buy it in a heartbeat. For what it's worth, this particular fan is not actually manufactured in the USA. Not sure if that has something to do with the quality, but just putting that out there for people who are looking into purchasing this fan.

I’ve had this fan for about 3 years now. I have a standard 10x12 room and it cools the whole room. I always leave it running and never turn it off. It runs seamlessly and fires right up everytime. I firmly believe our ancient ancestors slept with this fan. It’s the only way. It’s the right way. Feels as though you and the fan become one as you sleep. Also very stylish, would recommend to a friend.

I’m obsessed with these mighty and substantial fans. They are absolutely beautiful and look great and circulate the air very nicely with in my century home. I have two. They are well worth it

This is a big, heavy fan. It's a bit tough to carry around the house as a result, but once in place it stays there. It seems to be very solidly built, mostly of metal, and it moves a lot of air quietly. I'm very happy with the purchase.

Great fan!!!! Larger than expected but so well made!!! Very happy with my purchase, thank you!!!

I now have all the V Fans and I love them all. Great product.

Even though after three years, ours died, Vornado replaced it quickly with a new unit! Amazing support. American company. Will continue to buy from 100% Beautiful, retro fan. Recommended.

This fan is high enough to reach my sort of tall bed. My apartment bedroom has no window so the air is warm compared to the rest of the apartment. A fan is mandatory! Plus it gives a little soft noise to entice sleep. It can be directed anywhere and it’s easy to assemble. It also has a nice retro look. Very pleased.

Got a great price on this exceptional fan when it was on sale. Target’s price was better than anywhere! Well made for its intended use and stylish. Our youngest daughter wanted a fan that was powerful and that’s what we got. The high setting directs air very well and is not overly loud.

We love this tall white vintage fan. It’s sturdy and well worth the price.

I’ve had the fan for a month and a half and I love it. It is built to last. My grandchildren will be using this fan. It makes just enough noise to keep me sleeping. The only thing that could make it better is if it had a remote.

Looks vert nice, built very well - powerful and sophisticated at the same time!

This is our second one. It’s stylish and keeps us cool!
