When something works the way it should, I get excited. I remain astonished that after a decade I have yet to hear one disturbing noise from the fan. Only a pleasant soothing sound of rushing air. I live in Mississippi and this summer we had some 100 degree+ days. I've had a Vornado fan that I bought over 15 years ago. We decided to place the fan in our living area during the day to try to stay cool. This fan worked so well that we kept our thermostat at 78 degrees during this heat wave. I wouldn't have believed it was possible with the temperatures we were having. After the heat we had this past summer, I feel like I've put Vornado to the test and I am going to buy a second Vornado to use in my bedroom.

I live in an apartment with a window-unit air conditioner, so feeling the cool air can be a bit of a problem. That's where the Vornado comes in. This item is so powerful that it actually CIRCULATES (not just fans) air around the room; you can feel a nice breeze wherever you're sitting! Because of this effect, two things happen when you have your air conditioning on:
1) You can set the thermostat at a higher temperature and the room will actually be cooler than it would be if you didn't have the Vornado and if you had the thermostat set lower!
2) The Vornado circulates the cool air all over the room, so it effectively turns a window unit into a powerful central air unit!
The last tenant who lived in my apartment had a $60 electric bill for May last year...mine was $30. While he had to set the thermostat to 68 to feel the air conditioning, I can set it to 75 and still feel the same effect WITH a cool breeze...all because of the Vornado! The unit is barely audible on its lowest setting and about as loud as a window unit air conditioner on the highest setting. But don't let this deter you. Even on the lowest setting, you can still feel a difference.

This is my first Vornado purchase. I just found about about this brand from a person in my office. She had a smaller unit, but also a smaller office, and it worked very well on the lowest speed. This thing is heavy. It feels very well constructed, and not at all "chintzy" like the usual $20 fans. On the lowest speed it's amazingly quiet from ~5 feet away.
The only thing I dislike is the noise generated by the middle and high speeds--but that's really rather a non-issue, as it's perfectly capable of circulating the air in an entire 10 x 10 room on the low setting. As my coworker put it, it's an "air circulator" moreso than a fan; you don't point it directly at you. Rather, angle it somewhere else in the room, from a bit away, and the entire room gets a nice, gentle breeze. I was quite skeptical of this idea, thanks to all the inefficient, cheap fans I've purchased over the years, but this idea WORKS. I stay cooler throughout the day--and my papers aren't constantly blowing off my desk Neat!
Overall I'm very happy with this purchase, and would recommend others to consider this over a cheap fan you'll be replacing in a year once again. This isn't cheap, but I feel I received very good value for the money spent overall.
