    Great fan for price and size. I have a smallish room and it kept it cool for the summer time and it’s something I can run in the colder months for air and not get too cold. Love!

    Didnt think it would do the job with how petite it is but im glad to be wrong. It fits on a bedside or coffee table, doesnt take up too much space. Noise is not too bad but can get noticeable at highest setting. Packs quite some power, I keep it at 1 or 2 max.

    I bought this Vornado fan to replace a weak performing Honeywell fan of a similar design. The Vornado really pushes the air around my bedroom. Though not silent, the gentle white noise it generates masks other sounds at night, resulting in better sleep. Yes, it costs more, but I believe that it's worth the price difference. It really moves the air around.

    [Employee of bestbuy] Powerful yet quiet snd compact. A little bulkier than your average desktop fan so you need a good spot for it.

    This little fan packs a punch!!! It's more powerful than the larger size Lasko fan that died on me after the first 20 minutes of use. I highly recommend this fan!

    These fans are perhaps a little more expensive than they need to be, but they are good little performers. It takes only a moment for the air to spread through the room quite pleasantly.
