Vornado293HD Heavy Duty Air Circulator Shop, 3-Speed Floor Fan, Adjustable Head, Easy-Clean Grill, Large, Green, 16 in

I've had a couple of these fans (the same ones in the yellow color) for nearly 10 years and they're working perfectly despite long periods of 24/7 usage. Easy to clean. This retro green color will work better in most home decors than the yellow "shop" color version.Are they worth the "Vornado price premium?" In the long run, honestly yes. They outlast other fans.As with any "air circulator" style fan, pay attention to the directions. The ideal usage is to place it on the floor in one corner of the room. Point it upwards at the opposite corner ceiling. This will give you air circulation similar to a ceiling fan, but even better.These are excellent in the summer time when running the A/C. Get that cold air off the floor and circulate it.

He usado circuladores de Vornado por mas de 10 a;os sin problema alguno, muy buenos. Pedi este mucho mas caro confiando en la marca y en la descripcion siendo este de uso rudo (Heavy Duty) y certificado IP54, aunque lo usaria para la casa, lo escogi como un overkill por el alto flujo de aire y duarabilidad.Pero abriendo la caja encontre que la pintura de la base estaba botada y ya venia oxidado! Ademas al encenderlo el ventilado pulsaba sutilmente, como si hubera variaciones de voltaje y derrepende se aceleraba, cosa que no hacen mis otros ventiladoes conectados a la misma corriente, nada molesto pero lo que me hizo devolver la unidad fue el servicio al cliente:Lo registre y me contacte por correo y luego por chat (en la pagina de vornado) explicando el problema de oxido, esperaba poder llevarlo o recibir la base de reemplazo. Por correo, despues de 15 dias, no he recibido respuesta. En el chat me dijeron que lo llevar a su centro de servicio autorizado en Mexico con la empresa Viastara de la cual solo me dieron el numero, el cual no sirve nunca, asi que por chat me dijeron se lo regresara a Amazon. Horrible atencion, ni una disculpa ni intencion de ayudar ni justificacion para animarme a comprar otro, literalmente me dijo: "si yo fuera usted lo regresaria donde lo compre" y termino la conversacion.Si no tuviera el problema de oxido o me ubieran cambiado la base, lo recomendaria, hace algo de ruido pero mueve muchisimo aire. Lastima que la marca no representa a su producto.

I needed a fan for the 100+ Seattle summer heatwave. I picked this up, knowing full well, its a shop fan. Wow! Its loud but my ls50w's are louder. For my 400sqft studio, this fan really does circulate the air and keeps the air inside fresh. I usually sleep with a fan for the coolness and white noise, this didn't seem to bother me as much as any other fan.The design of the fan is beautiful! Sturdy yet comfortable foam handles, the stout metal tube legs, and killer hard plastic green, serve a utilitarian purpose yet enhance its overall aesthetic.It's when you turn it on that this blows you away, maybe not literally, but any loose papers or light weight materials surely will be instantly whisked. I will say that since I've plugged it, about 2 months ago, I haven't turned it off. No breaks at all. Its a workhorse for my non air-condiditoned studio. I need it to be or I'll melt. Such a quality motor and overall design, Vornado knows what they are doing. With summer coming to an end and the temperatures dropping, I have reduced the fan to just the low setting because any higher and I need a hoodie.I splurged for a high quality fan with a heavy duty purpose, in hopes to over achieve with regard to my expectations. It did and still does just that!

This is a great little fan, very powerful for its size and I would highly recommend! We needed a fan that would provide air flow to the top of a loft bed, the tilt on this combined with circulating air worked wonders! You can feel the air moving even if you aren't directly in front of it, moves the air around our entire 700 sft apartment

Expensive. But Amazingly Quiet for a shop fan. The 293 heavy duty shop fan is louder than my other Vornado fans but still quieter than any other fan I have owned. It should work for those who use a fan for white noise. Equivalent to a desk top oscillator fan with the push of a large floor fan!Free Automatic 5 year warranty. Fast shipping with Prime. Go thru Amazon and get free returns. Nice feature but you are going to keep it.Great for circulating air thru rooms. Head allows for complete 360 degree turning.Padded handle on top. 1 inch clearance from bottom of handle padding to the main fan. Inside of handle is 5 inches expanding to 6 inches across. Good for large hands.Out of box it had 2 pieces; base and head. Slide the head into base notches, tighten knobs and done.One Con: The motor is heavy. You need to tighten the head down very well to keep it in place. However, since it is intended to be angled up for proper air circulation, this is not a big deal.Would I buy again? Absolutely! Actually, this one is for my parents. Dad has tinnitus & Mom gets migraines from noise. Perfect!I have bought 2 other Vornado fans as $ allows. I don't know they are on until I walk past the flow. Those would not work for sleeping white noise but Great for by TV. No need to turn TV up to hear it.Other Vornado fans I own are: Vornado Vintage table top fan, Style 6, from Wal-Mart AND Vornado tower air circulator with remote, Model OSCR37, from Target.Still can't justify the cost? Still need a fan? I recommend Lasko Wind Tunnel. Cheaper but still very nice. Note: Wind Tunnel! Not Wind Machine. Big difference between the two.
