Vornado RTR Heavy Duty Air Circulator, 3-Speed High Velocity Shop Blower Fan for Whole Room, Multipurpose Electric Air Mover, High-Impact Case with 8ft Cord

I’m a mechanic. This fan has been fantastic with the warmer weather cooking us. Noise is acceptable in a shop environment and the directional airflow is accurate and far-reaching. At half the price, this goes toe-to-toe in performance compared to the more expensive Tool Truck offerings, definitely great.And it looks different and cool, and a 5-year satisfaction guarantee to boot.

Fans are so necessary in the South on very hot days but I hate the noise. This sits low on the floor but the air flow is positional. Three levels of air low to choose from and it's quiet, the most important thing of all. my husband can easily hear the television over it and doesn't have to turn it up to hear over the fan.

The appearance is better than many others. Has 3 levels of speed. Level 3 is a little bit noisy, but powerful. Level 1 is very quiet.

Works fine and is versatile.

Works good air flow is good

I waited for a couple of weeks before I wrote this review. I find reviews I write as soon as I buy an item are either too negative or too positive, so I wanted to "live" with this fan awhile to give it a fair chance.I bought this fan partly for its looks. I have Lasko fans in my house but they're nowhere near as stylish as this one. I'm also a native Kansan and Vornado is a Kansas company, so I wanted to support the home team!On a scale of 1 to 5, with 5 being the best:Aesthetics: 5. This fan is beautiful. Wish it came in more colors.Design: 4. Tilt function works great in directing and concentrating the air flow, controls are easy to find and use, fan is lightweight enough to move around easily but has a very stable base. Doesn't have any outlets the way Lasko blower fans do so you can't plug anything else into this (deducted 1 point for that).Power: 2. I set the fan on "1" (lowest setting) and it barely stirred the air. I set it to "3" (highest setting) and am very unimpressed with how it moves air.Durability: 4. Based on other Vornado fans I've owned, I expect this to have a long operational lifespan.Overall rating: 3 out of 5.Would I buy this model again? Honestly, no. Its positives don't compensate for the ultimate negative: for over $100 with tax, this fan just doesn't move the volume of air it should. I won't be returning it because it's a quality item and does have a lot of positive aspects, plus it looks cool (pardon the pun) in my living room. If you're looking for a shop fan, try a Lasko blower model that has two outlets on the side and tilt directional air flow. Not as pretty but those are workhorses, will last even longer than the Vornado, and really blasts the air. I had some water in my basement and I used my Lasko blower fans to dry it, not this Vornado.

This product is overpriced. The physical build seems decent but the airflow, longevity, and noise make it a product you should RUN away from.The worst feature is the whistling hum. This whistle does not go away on any power level, any postition, any angle. Tactically covering the input or output does not work. There is nothing you can do. This whistle is very loud even on the lowest setting. The highest setting does not drown out the whistle either.If you want a fan that looks nice, but produces an obnoxious noise at all times, look no further.The airflow is not impressive either, I figured this would be a good replacement for my old Stanley shop fan. It is not. The flow is not as powerful while producing a whistle and louder general air flow noise.The 5 year warranty seem nice, only time will tell, though I am at my wits end with the noise, so I may not even use it if the fan fails further!

I use this in a room without AC in subtropical climate, and it does a great job. It's quite loud, but it's very powerful. There are 3 settings and you can flick off an on with your toes if it's on the floor. Happy purchase
