Summary: AVOID VORONADO LIKE YOU WOULD THE PLAGUE
Comment:
I'm posting this on all Vornado listings on Amazon, as all potential purchasers need to be aware of the shortcomings of Vornado's warranty policy.
I purchased two fans from Vornado direct. Both were larger, more expensive units (280 & 285) that had either ten year or lifetime warranties.
One year after the purchase, the 285 began to vibrate upon start-up. The fan blades would barely revolve, and the fan emitted a loud rattling sound.
I called Vornado's Customer Service and spoke to a Paula. Upon describing the problem, she stated the motor was bad and e-mailed an RMA. However, she told me I would be required to pay for the return shipping.
As this was a large, heavy, floor standing unit, I told her that I would be returning the motor only. She gave no indication that was a problem.
The motor was delivered to Vornado. 5 days later, they called and refused to perform the service without the remainder of the fan assembly. They also had the temerity to tell me that I had voided the warranty by removing the motor, and wanted to charge me for the repair, but again, only AFTER I spent additional money to send the rest of the frame back!
I have 3 problems with Vornado's actions in this matter: 1.) I had to return a defective IN WARRANTY product at my expense 2.) I told Paula upfront I would only be sending back the motor, and she didn't object, and 3.) where was I supposed to get a box large enough for a plus-three-foot-tall, floor-standing unit?
Disgusted, I told Vornado to throw the motor away and forget the whole thing. When I disassembled the unit to extract the motor, I found the fan to be of a cheap design and construction, so it would be possible that I would have a similar re-occurrence of the same problem in the future. Why waste further money on something that might fail again?
BTW: Both phone calls involved LONG hold times to get a customer service person. So, if you're forced to call them regarding service, be prepared to have something else to do while you wait.
Vornado might claim to stand behind their customers. After dropping the original +$150 on the two fans, going out-of-pocket for the shipping to return the motor, and having to dispose of the useless, motorless 285 frame, I can definitely attest to having felt Vornado there. My advice: Find another fan from a better company. Vornado brags about how their products are built in the U.S.; who cares, if you're not going to support your customers?

Summary: Blows like a quite hurricane
Comment: This fan rocks. We had a couple of smaller fans by another company and they just did not have enough horse power to move the air in a large room. This one is quite on all but the highest level and very efficient. I first thought I would buy one and if it worked another... No need for the second.

Summary: Compact and powerful, cya Holmes
Comment: This fan is great because it's doesn't take up a lot of space, is fairly quiet, can tilt in any direction, and is quite powerful.
Haven't had to use it on high(3)yet as 1 and 2 feel windy enough. Although it's slightly loud on high like most fans. Compared to my older Holmes fan, this one dwarfs it in performance, power, compactness, and noise.
It feels like a cool evening breeze when propped in front of a window. Haven't had any problems at all. This one is built to last.
As far as price, Yes, it's almost as much as a cheap air conditioner, but you get what you pay for. A cheap brittle Holmes or a quality built Vornado.

Summary: Vornado 723B fan
Comment: Vornado is in a class by itself. The 723B was a replacement for a box fan that stopped working after about 2 years. The difference between them was obvious from the get-go; on low speed, the Vornado's air output was considerably more than the previous fan's highest speed. Also, the Vornado appears to more durable & better designed than the other fan; it's smaller & takes up less space than the box fan, yet is heavier, probably because it has a sturdier motor. This fan is far and away the best one I've ever owned, and I expect that it will last a long time.

Summary: can't be cleaned
Comment: Yes, this fan is fairly quiet and it does do everything a fan should do. It is a little pricey, but I thought the reputation of "quiet and effecient" would be worth it. I simply cannot clean it. It came with my husband and has never been cleaned, it needs a good cleaning. There was so much crusty dust on there, I thought I would just have a go at it one morning and then I could literally rest in peace. I struggled. I have had other fans in my life, they all accumulate dust, but this one needs an entire tool boxto open up. Even with that, I never did get it apart.
I therefore cannot recommend, ESPECIALLY in households with allergies.
