Vornado 52 Whole Room Air Circulator Fan with 3 Speeds, Black

I use a fan in my bedroom for two reasons. I like to circulate the air and I need ambient noise to sleep. I was reticent to get such a small fan because I’ve always used large oscillating fans. I’ve had this for most of a month and I am very pleased to say I’ll not be going back. Regarding air movement; unlike my oscillating fan I don’t point this directly at me but pointed upward to circulate the air, which is apparently what these are made for. I’ve tried placing this on the ground and on a chest of drawers and in both cases really enjoyed how well it works. Instead of a constant stream of air blowing directly on me, this creates almost an ambient breeze effect. Pointed at the ceiling, I feel air gently wafting past me, almost like I’m by a lake or ocean and the breeze is blowing. I’ve also noticed this has helped to distribute heated air around my bedroom more evenly. As for the sound effect, it’s really the best of both worlds. The low and medium settings are extremely quiet. This is great for daytime if you need to hear others talking or just don’t want a loud fan going in your room during waking or sleeping hours. At night I put this on high. I get a medium level white noise effect from it. It’s similar to having a small sound machine in the corner. I would say it’s comparable to a window ac unit on medium. If you need extremely loud white or ambient noise to sleep, this isn’t for you. However for most people that want a moderate level, this is perfect and the fan aspect is excellent. I hope this is helpful.

Perfect on top of fridge to circulate the air in the apartment kitchen. Surprising small powerhouse. Low to medium speed is usually sufficient. A bit loud on high speed. Exactly what was needed. Arrived quickly and in great condition. Would order again.

I have a few of these fans strategically place that circulate air very well throughout the appartment. Cleaning them at the end of the season can be challenging but worth it.

Does a good job circulating the air in large bedroom!

I bought my first small tabletop Vornado fan about five years ago for my seed starting unit. It's an amazing product. I just bought two more to take the place of window fans and it's still an amazing product. My single complaint is that, while my first Vornado had a speed dial that was on a continuum where you could choose any speed, the new ones only have three choices. I really miss having more control and wonder why they made this change. Still such a good fan that I didn't want to take a star off. Still worth every penny to have the kind of circulation this fan has, and its quietness. The window fans I got last year are horribly loud even on the lowest setting, and, from what I've read, most of the new window fans are like that. SO worth it to spend more on a Vornado.

Powerful even though it's not that big. I wish it had a remote but I don't think any vornado fans have one. I have another vornado fan & this is the only brand I would recommend.

Powerful and quiet. Love it and will be buying another one. Works great in my 25x14 living room great

It’s not the quietest fan, but I love white noise to sleep. It doesn’t rattle or anything, it’s just the air sound. This thing emits some serious wind!!! It does not oscillate, so if you need that, find another fan. I have it on my dresser in the bedroom. I turn it on at bedtime and aim it directly on me. Love it!!

I've been using this fan for about a year now, and the amount of air it can push is genuinely shocking. Even in a very large room, pointing it straight at the ceiling feels like having a ceiling fan running, the amount of airflow it can create. It's reasonably quiet as well, on high it can be a bit much but I can still sleep with it on high on particularly warm nights. The plastic doesn't feel brittle at all even after a year of sitting in the sunlight near my window.

Es pequeño y muy potente. En la velocidad mínima casi no hace ruido, así que te puedes dormir plácidamente. Me encantó, compre dos uno para cada habitación y lo volvería a comprar. En general Vornado es una marca con productos muy ganadores, ya tengo tambien un calentador y también es pequeño pero potente. Súper recomiendo!

Pumps out a lot of air like all Vornado's. A little noisy on low but doesn't bother my sleep. If you do need quiet look for DC powered Vornado if you can find

Vornado fans are awesome. They move a ton of air around in a fashion where you don't have to have it pointed right at you to cool you down. The one thing that was disappointing was how the specs miss lead you. They list the width as 24.6 centimeters, but that is not the width of the fan blade's, it is the width of the fan shell. the fan blades are only 18.415 centimeters. I was expecting a bigger fan then what I got. If it wasn't for the pain in the butt it is to return something I would send it back and get a bigger one. It is very quiet for it's size so I will keep it.

I ordered this fan again because it has a lot of air flow with a punch. Only wish it swiveled. I’d give it five stars for the fan itself but disappointed with the speed of delivery. Took two weeks until it even shipped and now another two weeks until it gets here. Summer is almost over so I won’t use it much once it gets here as the season will be over really. Not sure I’d order another one since delivery is too slow
