VornadoNGT425 Air Circulator Tower Fan with Remote Control and Versa-Flow, 42", Black

I’m writing this review for the model 33 inch and (two) 42 inch models that I use in my living room and open kitchen at the same time.. I purchased the prior 33 inch model approximately seven years ago and it ran fantastic (yet hard to clean/lubricate, etc.) until a month ago (i’ve gone through lots of fans in my life) … These new fans with five speeds are optimal… If you’re like me and like a loud fan when you sleep (I love a good Large box fan on high for the sound when I sleep!),,,,These are not the fans for you as they are not loud at all! But move lots of air… I’m keeping my house at 78° in the heart of Texas and we are very comfortable with these fans running on medium speed settings with ceiling fans too... I will come back later to comment on the now removable screen for cleaning/lubricating.... The remote is extremely directional for it to work but I don’t really have any complaints about it other than that… The construction of the product is nice and light plastic but it seems perfectly durable enough… Came double boxed directly from the manufacturer and was easy to assemble…Highly recommend to anyone that likes Air circulation… And for the other comments regarding vibration sounds - walking up to a fan and re-positioning it with a jiggle solves sound vibrations with floor fans typically (as long as they are properly lubricated—WD-40)

I'll start out with the fan; I've had it for four days now, and I really like it. It is quieter than my previous oscillating fan, at least for speed levels 1 through 3. It really moves the air around, and I love that I can adjust the width of the air flow. But I wanted to add that the fan arrived in a plain brown box that wasn't damaged, however, the Vornado box itself was ripped and torn through a couple sides, so I believe this happened before it left the Amazon warehouse. The intake vent was bowed out, but I was able to unscrew it and pop it back into place. Amazingly, the fan itself worked fine; no wobbling or vibration noise. And the remote control was missing. Amazon gave me a partial refund, and Vornado sent me a new remote. In short, the five stars are for the fan, Amazon's, and Vornado's customer service.

Love having the remote. I set the fins for a more direct airflow, rather than wide. It works fine from 15 feet away. The fan blows a significant amount of air on high. I usually run it on the lower 3 speeds while sitting 15 feet away unless I've just come in from outside on a hot day and even then, I'll only run it at higher speeds for 20-30 minutes.

This isn't our first Vornado product, but it's probably the first we spent more than 30 bucks on. Those smaller, simpler round fans were good for what we used them for.We have an adequate central AC, but it struggles with the living room sometimes on hot sunny days due to a single very large window. It's a reasonably large living room - typical for a mid-sized 70's ranch style home.Put this at one corner, and it's nearly impossible to find a spot in the room you want to be that you can't feel it on max speed and wide dispersal.I'm at the complete other end of the room and loose hairs on my forehead are blowing a bit. It's a constant low but very enjoyable breeze at any position on this far wall, and at most other spots in the room it's only better. I didn't do anthing special with the placement except max out the dispersal and the fan speed, plus eyeball the direction of the vents.At this far end of the room you can hear it on max speed, but not enough to cause you to even raise your voice in conversation. I can comfortably talk in quiet, normal tones with anyone in the room. Again, that's at max speed.If I click the remote two or three times to the left, I can barely hear it from this other side of the room, and the breeze is still noticeable. A couple more clicks and it's only going to be audible in a silent room, plus the breeze is still perceptible.Standing next to it at Max speed it's obviously louder, but still not obnoxious. I probably wouldn't choose to sit next to it most of the time, but if I did it would be tolerable. Very, very quiet for the volume it puts out.If I close the vents to their narrow setting with the fan on max, it's like a stripe of narrow high intensity wind that easily traverses the length of the room.I ran it for about 10 minutes before I ordered another one, to help keep the kitchen temp regulated when cooking big meals. We have inadequate AC in that room also when we use the stove or oven for long periods.It was easy to put together and the controls are simple. The stand was easy to attach and is adequately (if not overly) sturdy.Also, unlike reviews I read of competing products when shopping around, it's got a panel you can remove for cleaning the blades. I have not yet tested the timer function, but it seems unlikely to me that I will find complaint with it.I can't imagine being happier with this fan.

When I first received this fan, it worked great! It was nearly silent, and moved lots of air. However, within two weeks, it started rattling and buzzing, not unlike cheap no-name brands I've had before. I submitted a warranty claim, and about a week later had a replacement unit. Straight out of the box, it buzzed worse than any fan I've ever heard. The fan is very cheaply made, and very fragile, and will likely not survive shipping, unless you get lucky. I thought by buying a brand name, and spending more money, I would get quality. I suppose those days are done. Avoid this junk!

Easy assembly, very quiet and remarkably effective. My husband was so skeptical when I bought this. I spent hours researching all the different fans on the market.I was shocked to see how many of the fans came with warnings for exposure to lead.I read about the Vornado air circulator. Made sure I could return it if it didn’t work out. It is amazing and does exactly what it’s name implies. It’s cools down the room but even better it keeps the air circulating, quietly so it never gets stuffy.I never feel like I have to be trapped in a wind tunnel ever again. In fact I bought a second one for the other side of the house and keep them both on low on the days air quality keeps me from opening my windows due to the wildfires in California.They work well with my air purifiers. Best purchase I have made in along time.

This thing is awesome! It MOVES air. not like any junk from Honeywell and such companies that sells "fans" where you feel nothing beyond 2-6 feet. Even the 18in Dewalt high speed fan (which i bought a month ago) (and very very very very noisy) is useless next to this Vornado tower! Yes it is more expensive, but for a useful piece of technology that works, i don't mind!This tower moves air easily up to 25 ft (which i can feel the breeze) at max speed. I personally don't find it noisy, bit less than my mural AC.And the awesome thing about this tower is now my whole house floor is cooled du to the air circulation and it helped cool a bit my basement as well.I also ordered a Vornado 660 and i can't wait to receive it!

Puede ser ruidoso en las noches para algunas personas poco tolerantes, esperaba un poco más de eficiencia con respecto a la distancia que se supone alcanza el aire, no es cierto lo de la circulación de aire, pero el aire no lo arroja solo de manera frontal, en general me pareció bueno pero un poco caro en relación al costo.

I bought the NGT335 to replace a decade old tower fan with failing control switches. This fan is extremely quiet and does basically what I need. I'm not sure the Versa-flow will give the whole room air circulation that I'll need in July and August but I get good dispersion of heat from the fireplace in winter (the fan is placed a couple of feet to the side of the mantle to blow air across the front of the fireplace).The remote is tiny and works well, all controls and Versa-flow dial work easily.

Horrible el ruido. A los 3 meses de uso comenzo a hacer ruidos de manera incontrolable. Es sumamente dificil de limpiar. Esta carísimo. Pésimo producto. Ojalá lo eliminen.

After previously attempting to get a Vornado tower on three separate occasions I've finally found one which works out of the box! No weird creaking, no rumbling and no burnt out LEDs! Amazing!It works well enough. It can certainly move air but there's a noticeable hum when it's on regardless of the speed and anything beyond the first two settings causes a great deal of noise. Not totally unexpected though, it's a fan and fans can get loud! Fortunately even on the low settings it creates a nice cool breeze.Providing this one doesn't die it's totally adequate!
