Vornado BXR Horizontal and Tower Fan, Multi-position and Multidirectional High Velocity Fan with Carry Handles, 20 Inch

We needed a window fan, but our double hung windows have an opening of 22.75" which is too narrow for most conventional window fans. We purchased a Vornado free standing fan many decades ago, and it is easily the best fan we have ever owned.. So when I saw this Vornado fan that just fits inside our window opening, I order it without hesitation.There is some required assembly to attach the handles. It took some effort to snap the handles into place, but once installed the entire assembly is very solid -- you would never know the fan wasn't fully assembled at the factory.The slow speed is very very quiet yet moves a significant amount of air, perfect for overnight use in a bedroom. Medium speed can easily be heard but is not what I would call loud. The high speed is really powerful and can freshen a room with outdoor air quickly. While the sound level on high is significant, it is still a pleasant white noise.How I assign stars in a review.The star ratings are always in relation to the item's intended purpose, type, and durability.5 stars - The item is perfect with no room for meaningful improvement.

The item should be durable given normal care and handling.3 stars - The item has significant shortcomings or limitations, but these do not significantly degrade performance. And/or the item may not be durable if not handled with some degree of care.2 stars - The item has defects or shortcomings that compromise performance. And/or the item may be likely to fail prematurely even with careful use.1 star - The item does not function correctly in any meaningful way or is very difficult or even hazardous to use. And/or the item failed completely with very little use.

Very happy with this product the fan moves a lot of air and is very very quiet!!! You can put this fan anywhere we are using it to move warm air in the cold winter mouths in the living area so happy we purchased another one 😊

I like that I can place this in a window sill and also move it around the house - both vertically and horizontally. It looks pretty sleek, tho my wife thinks it's bulky. We own other Vornado standing fans, and I was surprised that this one lacks the airflow power of our other Vornado fans. Overall, I like the design, but wish it had more power.

Ok, I have only had this thing for a few days so hopefully I don't end up changing my opinion on anything here. But as a female going through a certain stage of life and getting those pesky hot flashes, I am always warm and have a hard time sleeping at night these days without a fan on me. Box fans are inconvenient and I have had to buy smaller desk-type fans and use them near/on my bed. While they did help, many of them are vertical fans and I needed air more width-wide. Turning them horizontal seemed to help for a while but over time it's damaging to a fan that is not created for that, and as a result I already ruined one and a second one is not sounding good now either. Enter this Vornado. Air width-wide, just like I need! I saw the design and I thought I could possibly place it on one end of my futon bed, and hopefully it would fit right, and hopefully the air would come out nice, and I'd finally have my solution. Well, I set it up, turned it on and was immediately impressed. It fits nice, the breeze is a comfortable cool and there are three settings. My small complaint is that I actually wish there was a fourth setting between the highest and the second highest, OR in place of the lowest setting which I think is way too low but maybe that's all some people want. The only other issue for me is that I like it set up in such a way that the power options wind up on the bottom, and I have to lift it to turn it on/change settings but I guess that's on me for wanting it set up that way, as I doubt they would design it to have the power options on both sides (that would really be nice!). It does work the other way, but I feel like the way I have it gets better airflow on me. Anyway, perfect, I love it, and should probably buy another one as a backup because I haven't seen anything that does exactly what this one does. Noise level is also reasonable for the settings. Thank you!!

This works good for bringing warm air from one room to the other. Low noise level.

The 3 settings are all mild. The way the intake vents are positioned make the usage of this fan a pain. Handles too. It is very quiet on the lowest setting so that's why I kept it I love Vornado fans. I ordered a new design of theirs.... Looks like a giant hairdryer and that fan is absolutely amazing. So I gave this fan two stars when it needs one, because of how much I appreciate Vornado in general.

It's quiet, but not very powerful compared to even smaller sized vornado models. Also in horizontal position, the angle adjustment for airflow direction doesn't hold unless you tie the two bars together. Though the fan is good for small window openings which is what I needed it for. Just very unimpressed with the strength of the higher settings. Best for a smallish room.

I have this fan sitting on top of a wall unit to help circulate the heat. The low fan setting works just fine.
