The best appliance in the marketplace for circulating air
This Vornado air circulator is my 7th, although 3 of them now reside with my adult children who refused to give them up after using them in college dorms. I've purchased all different sizes, and they all perform excellently - the oldest 2 were purchased in 1995 and are still going strong. If you want to maximize the performance of these units, follow the manufacturer's instructions as to how to position them to circulate the air, depending on the time of year. There is no need to have them blowing or oscillating directly on you if you follow instructions. The cost is well worth it, as cheaper fans don't perform as well, and usually die within a couple of years.

A bit noisy, but moves a LOT of air
I use two of these to help ventilate an art studio, and to stay cool at home with less A/C. They move a ton of air. The only down side is that they are a bit noisy, but I don't know if that can be avoided when you're moving so much air.

Price may seem high til you use this fan
I own 6 vornado's, 4 different models, including this one. My two oldest are 8-10 years old and still running strong. Great for circulating air all over the house. Only fan I would own, worth the price

Does its job, but not worth the extra $$$
On the highest speed the fan does blast a nice strong cool gust of wind and this continues steadily as long as you run it. On the low speed (there are only 3 speed settings) it works up a pleasant breeze.
But frankly, for the amount I paid for this fan, I expected better.
The things I dont like about the fan are:
- It does not rotate or oscillate. So you have a choice of having it constantly blow gusts in your face or else have it point away from you all the time.
- It does not have a remote control.
- It is short and needs to be placed on a table unless you are going to be sitting on the ground or on a low chair.
- It is much more expensive than other fans I checked out and so I expected it to have more advanced controls - temperature settings, maybe oscillation, etc. It is extremely basic in its features: 1, 2, 3 and off.
I have been using it only for a couple weeks so cannot comment on durability, life etc.
I would not buy it again. The next time around I am going to buy a cheaper $30 model that does the same thing.

Wow
On high, this fan is like a wind cannon. I can feel the breeze 40 feet away. On low, it creates a nice breeze and is quiet too. I also like that it is compact. A much better choice then a box fan.
