Customer Review: great little circulator

I found this in BB&B in the as-is dept. I only picked it up and gave it some thought because it had the name vornado on it. Even with the Vornado name I still didn't think this thing would have any power watsoever. And when I saw the cloth arms I knew for sure this thing wouldn't be able to blow anything, much less air. Fortunately for me there were power strips all over BB&B, so I plugged up the little fan and took it for a spin. WOW, was I surprised at the wind that came out of this thing. Maybe I started out with very low expectations, that's why I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of air that came out of these cloth arms. It's a good amount of breeze for the size of the same. I actually cool off with this thing. I definately don't expect it to circulate a room, that's asking to much for something this small. But I put it next to me on the desk and it does it's job, it cools me off and my long hair is whizzing all over my face, I have to pin up my bangs so I can see. I love this thing, it wasn't a waste of money!

The only thing I have to complain about is the level setting, there are two level settings and the first one is ok, but I always have to set it to level two cause that's where all the strength is, I do wish there was a level three.

Customer Review: Great desk fan

I have seen some other reviews that are mixed, but the bottom line is, this is a very capable desk fan. It is not powerful enough to move air in a room. The two added benefits are that it is fairly quiet (I sometimes accidently leave it on overnight) and it looks cool. I appreciate the two speed switch on the back and almost exclusively use the high speed. If you want more power you can get a bigger fan that takes up more space on your desk, but I personally am very satisfied. The only things that would make this better are a slightly longer cord (to run through the desk, etc) and a third speed. It would also be convenient if the power switch were easier to access and not located on the back of the unit. All these are minor issues that wouldn't stop me from making the same choice again.
