Perfect fit
I love this fan. I originally bought it for a wedding last summer as it was a camp theme for adults to feel like kids again. So of course we’re at a camp. When I tell you it kept me cool all night in the summer plus along with the fans in the cabin. Afterwards I used it at home and everyone was cold that was near it in the living room as we didn’t run the AC much. Now I’m using it again in a bedroom. I love it and the designs it came with to switch out.

Awful Fan
This is probably the worst fan I have ever purchased. I bought a Vornado because I have two of their heaters and they are great. I think that is why this was such a disappointment. It is so loud that it sounds like an airplane or a lawnmower. Even on the lowest speed, it is quite noisy. The amount of air it moves around is okay, but I can't stand the noise on the higher setting, so that is out. The cord is placed right over the top of the speed control, so it is awkward too use. And it pivots, but does not rotate. I thought it did. My mistake. I should have returned it right away, but things got busy for me, and I just forgot. I regret that I missed the window on that. Honestly, I don't really have anything good to say about it. I want to try another Vornado, but am skeptical now.

Great small fan
Bought it for my pretty big room and it keeps it cool and the fan is very quiet. it’s just slightly louder than a laptop fan if that is any indication. easy to adjust the stand and fan housing and change speed with a dial

Love this fan!
I actually can’t understand all the negative reviews. This is the best fan I’ve ever purchased. I actually love the sound it makes. It is loud, but it drowns out every other sound, which helps me sleep. Has worked great for at least two years and is still going strong. It is a little pricey.

Good fan for the price
We purchased this fan for our daughter's dorm room because the WooZoo was sold out. It's a good fan for the price. Unfortunately, after about 2 weeks it started rattling whenever she uses it, which is all the time. It's annoying, but she lives with it because she doesn't live close to us and returning it would be more trouble than it's worth at this point. When the school year is over, we will probably go with the Woozoo.

I have 3...but 1 keeps rotating
This works great, and it feels like a fan. I have a rectangular room, and it helps the dead air circulate where I like to sit. The AC in my house is missing the area, so the device is helping with that. It is refreshing. My only issue is that when I adjust the head to point in my direction, a few minutes later, it changes directions. I always notice it when I am having a hot flash. I have one in my office, and it blows on my face, so I don't need the AC, and the head doesn't rotate. Any clues on why that is happening would be appreciated. It is a good device though, I have had mine for almost a year.

Overpriced and Noisy
This fan is not $40 worth of cooling. It’s maybe $10 of cooling and $30 in the casing. Unlike other fans that make a constant hum just from spinning, this fan will make a rattle on and off like it’s a car going over lane markers. I can’t sleep with this thing on because the rattling is so loud. Better off getting a generic $20 fan, at least there you’ll get the $20 of cooling.

Shorting out after minimal use
I purchased this in April of 2023 for my guest room and it has been used less than ten times. I went to use it and it wouldn't turn on so I wiggled the power cord and it came on and this happened again. I am afraid to use it with the short in the cord. It is a rather expensive small fan that I thought would last for years.

Maybe betrer if $15 not $35+
It’s cute and the changing designs is a cute idea It’s powerful kinda but way too small It’s ridiculous they call it a “whole room circulator” when it 1)doesn’t circulate and 2)is teeny

Life Saver!!
I used this fan in a college dorm without AC in the middle of GA, and it worked pretty well for the summer. Had it on for almost the entire school year, so it holds up well. It's kind of noisy, but it's a great fan.

Common complaint - loud
I want to like this fan because it does seem to circulate air in a stuffy room but when I turn on at night it’s way too loud. It seems to be the most common complaint on reviews. So if you’re looking for a quiet or soothing sound, this is not it. It does rattle which is not the best when trying to sleep.

Don't buy
Loved the fan, liked how loud it was and how you could change the cute little bottom pieces out. It only lasted me about 5 months before it just stopped working though so I wouldn’t recommend.

So does it not go back and forth?
How can this circulate the air flow if it doesn’t move back and forth….can’t figure out how if so…
1 reply from Vornado Air Family of Brands team - 2 years ago
When the fan is on, it is circulating the air. This model has a pivoting head and swiveling body to ease in directing it as you would like. It does not oscillate.
