Vornado Duo Small Room Tower Air Circulator Fan, Black, 14 In.

Update: its been a couple years now and still love this fan. It's attractive, quiet at lower speeds. If you are on phone often but still want effective and quiet, this is it. It also fits well under most monitors if placed horizontal. It has proved to be long lasting and reliable. I'd buy another one in a heartbeat. Original review: Bought this fan after watching some reviews. I use this fan at work and very impressed with it. Some Plus’s: 4 fan speeds, the lowest speed is very quiet, merely a hum, easy to forget the fan is on except you can feel the cold air, It is perfect if you are on the phone often and want the fan closeby. I have owned a few desk fans before and this is the best one so far. Constantly amazed at the super cold air it puts out Even on the lowest speed. I know this sounds crazy but it is almost as if it’s a mini ac. I know there are a few cheaper options for 19.99 or 29.99 but this one is definitely worth the price. I’ve bought desk fans from other manufacturers in the past and they are okay at first but they started squeaking or making noise from vibrations. I will update this review after a few months of use. I would definitely recommend this Vornado desk fan as of right now.

Works standing or flat. Simple one button control. No remote to lose. No oscillating to fail. I had both of these problems on the regular tower fan so now it work just like this Vornado unit ( On/off and level change only) Air is very focused and not lossy across distance . It's direct line powered so does not go through a power brick or require another power source like a USB one. A bit more power hungry than the Sharper Image USB powered fan which only uses 1.5W to 2.5 W to run. This one uses 21W at the lowest setting, then 30, 38, and 52W on the highest setting. It move tons of air so no complaints there. It's about 55 dB noise level at full blast down to 40 dB at lowest setting. Not entirely noise free but not unpleasant at low settings. Love squirrel cage fans for how well they work at moving directed air. This is a great example of one to own.

It's a powerful little blower. Moves air quite a long way - suitable for a large bedroom or living room. Great for pushing the cool air away from your air conditioner unit so the whole room gets cooled instead of just the few feet near the A/C. As an added bonus, it is quite slim and can be mounted vertically or horizontally to fit on top of a desk or between a pair of sculptures. Just be sure to give it a couple of feet of clearance in front and behind to get good air circulation through the device. But it is loud. As in, don't put it in the room where you watch TV kind of loud. It's a constant sound, too, not like you would get from an oscillating fan. It might keep you up at night if you put it where you sleep, but it will move the air across that room. This unit has no timer, no auto-off feature. Simply three speeds and an off button. Lowest speed is basically useless, middle speed might work for a smaller room, high speed is for larger spaces. Medium and high speeds are both quite loud but in terms of circulating air consistently and constantly it is more effective than a traditional "propeller" style fan.

* UPDATE * So about after a year, it started grinding/squealing and then just stopped working. I opted to take it a part to try to clean it out and see if it would help, knowing it'd void my warranty. It ended up working for a little while, then started again. I opted to email them, clearly indicating what I had done and that I knew I voided my warranty and that I wasn't asking for them to honor it. I was just looking for some advice on something I might be able to do, to get it working longer than I had succeeded to do. I promptly got a response back from them, giving me instructions on what to do and they would send me out another unit. NOT WHAT I WAS EXPECTING! I thought for sure I was going to get a response back staying I voided my warranty and they would not honor it and blah blah blah. At the very most I was hoping to get a response back stating maybe spraying it with WD-40 or something would fix it. I was in no way expecting them to volunteer to still honor the warranty, after I blatantly admitted I voided it and was not looking for them to. That to me shows GREAT custom service and is a company I'll continue to do business with! Also should note, this new one isn't as loud as my original one was neither. So I believe it may have been a dud from the get go. I mean, don't get me wrong. It is still a noisy little machine, but not as noisy as my original one was. * ORIGINAL REVIEW - 3 STARS * Right now I'm on the fence for this. Not sure if I just got a bad one or something, but it's really not what I expected. I bought a larger, 184 model which encouraged me to get this. This thing on it's top 2 settings is louder than the 184 on it's highest setting, which is 4-5x larger than this. While speaking about it's size, it's a little larger than I thought it'd be (and yes, that's even with viewing pictures and reviews), which in some ways is a good thing and in others, not so much. Does seem to put out quite a bit of air, almost comparable to the much larger 184, at least IMO. Just definitely louder than I had thought and hoped it'd be. Also kinda wish it had a remote. Sure I'll be updating this in the future..

Perfect size.Works flawlessly!POWERFUL for its size. Quiet.4 speed settings.5 year warranty. This is actually a small air circulator not a fan.It circulates air in the entire small room.Perfect for a small room.You will love this product.....

Ideal para un espacio reducido con buen funcionamiento, por el precio y operación se recomienda también por la forma de ubicarlo en cualquier parte de la habitación

Nice fan it can lay horizontal or vertical , not an eyesore

No remote. No sleep mode. Not to worry... this fan was made for keeping us cool!

Me ha gustado esta mini torre por la potencia que alcanza en la 4ta velocidad. Al ser pequeño encaja bien casi en cualquier espacio y mueve bastante aire como para refrescar una habitación de 4X4m en menos de 5 minutos. Pros: * Diseño elegante y funcional * Potencia y gran volumen de ventilación * Versatilidad de posiciones Contras: * Hace mucho ruido en la máxima potencia * Tiene un fusible en la clavija, lo cual augura posible falla a futuro * El pulsador podría tener mejor calidad, a veces hay que pulsar varias veces antes de activarse

I really like this fan. It moves a lot of air on the highest setting, it is a bit loud at that setting tho,but what fan isn’t loud on high? I wish there was more adjustment to move the direction of the vents, it moves very little. A good quality fan none the less.
