HEAVY, sturdy, mostly all-metal design like the fans my grandparents once owned. I've taken a star away because the blades are plastic for some reason. Maybe plastic blades are more efficient?Also a star away because on the highest speed the motor isn't consistent, the speed has an audible fluctuation. But, I've run this fan pretty much nonstop for five month with no issues.Too pricey, a bit small, but it's like an art piece. And it does a sufficient job cooling.

The shorter list might be things I don’t like about it. I could wish it was slightly bigger, or came with a stand, but this one little fan dropped the midday summer temp in my bedroom by 5-8°F (depending on how much sun there is). Previously cooled by a tower fan that never moved as much air as advertised, we were boiling at night in the unseasonably warm summer New England has been having. With the addition of this fan, there have been nights I actually want a light coverlet, not just a top sheet. I was also able to spend an afternoon in the bedroom without feeling like I’d accidentally rented a sauna instead of an apartment. The style reminds me of a couple of the fans my parents had cooking the garage growing up in south Texas though, as mentioned before, noticeably smaller.

I procrastinated on buying this due to the price and a few negative reviews, but wow, it's fabulous, and I’m honestly already considering another one. It’s heavy, and therefore stable. A gorgeous colour, and the various speeds are powerful. As I lay down to sleep, its consistent hum is a gentle white noise, and I think I may actually get a decent sleep tonight!

No hace nada de ruido. Da una brisa suave, pero es perfecta porque la tengo junto a la cara en el escritorio, así que a menos que quisiera morir como Isadora Duncan, no necesito un ventarrón. Su diseño es exquisito. Los acabados elegantes, hasta la caja donde lo mandaron estaba bonita. Es un artículo de alta calidad que tiene el diseño stream line de otra època. Puro neurótico escribe que hace mucho ruido. éjele: no. Es un placer a la vista, y quita el calor.

It's fairly expensive, compared with the plastic fans that Vornado and others make, but it's lovely, quiet and effective, so if you have a little extra in your fan budget, I think that this fan is a good choice.

Vornado did a great job with this fan. It's good looking and built well. Some people say it's expensive, but I don't think so. Sometimes in life you get what you pay for and this is an example of that. You pay about $30 more than the same fan that's not in the Alchemy line, but then you get plastic housing and a plastic base. This fan is all metal.You also get Vornado's ten year warranty, which is fantastic. I'm sure the fan will run for 50 years, but just in cast, you're covered.All in all, a great purchase.

Worth the price so far. This company is obviously dedicated to delivering a great product to market. Packaging is superb. The fan itself is well made, sturdy, powerful(enough for my small 12 x 12 foot office), quiet, and stylish. Their tech claims seem to be legit in the way the air is delivered: even on medium setting, I can feel the air flow from across the room. I am very pleased.

Really effective at cooling my office room, even at the lowest fan setting. Also looks really nice and fits in well with the room's aesthetic. The only drawback is that the noise level is a bit high at the higher fan settings. But since it's already so effective at the lowest setting, that doesn't really bother me.

Vornado makes the best table fans, and they are worth the price. This one is from their retro designer luxury line, and it's a work of art. It's heavy, mostly all metal, premium copper-on-black materials...even the packaging is deluxe (including a drawstring dust cover). The slow speed is the quietest I have ever heard, almost inaudible, yet it moves a whole roomful of air with that amazing Vornado turbulence. It is SO quiet that you can forget it's on. A dim amber power light would help, but it's really perfect just as it is.Although style and quality were decision factors, I bought it because you can take the whole thing apart and clean the grill, blades, case and even the motor housing separately. A ritzy owner's manual tells you how in great detail with diagrams. Fans need periodic cleaning. Otherwise, over time, you're just blowing dust accumulated on the fan into your room, and gumming up the works with the friction. This feature should really extend fan life far beyond the 5-yr warranty. Another example of spending more for quality up front to get better performance and longer life (the same goes for clothing, TVs, automobiles and just about everything else).Besides, it looks so sexy sitting there on the table. A beautiful blend of quality, style and function, made in the USA!

The fan itself is very loud notwithstanding the rattle on the back from a part that wasn’t fitted properly. It then stopped working after approximately 10 minutes of use.
