Rodrigo Ortega: Muy potente y silencioso, gran opción para escritorio o buró en noches muy calurosas, el ruido es mínimo y como ventilador personal es realmente bueno. El material se ve de buena calidad y los acabados también.

Uncle Junk: Edit / Update: Upon taking down this fan I noticed its insides and intakes were covered in dust. I didn't realize and never cleaned it. That's totally what led to the motor overheating. I'm sure it would have continued working for many years if I just took care of up. I've updated my score to 5 stars.

Original review: Love this fan. I've used it as a "desk' fan pretty much daily for hours a day. I put desk in quotes because I actually mounted it above my desk hanging upside down to save desk space. The engine finally burnt out just now. It was really hot to the touch which I never noticed before. It's pretty quiet, but noticeable even across the room if there's no other noise. If I forget to turn it off it's too loud to just kept it running, I have to get up and turn it off. The safety nylon "blades" are great, you can stick your finger right in without worry and it still pushes sufficient air. IMHO the power is perfect for a desk fan that's kept aimed right at my face, anything more and it might be irritating. I love the style and design, its the main reason I looked at this fan. My only gripe is that it should have lasted longer. I saw another review that said his lasted...

Chickadee: I disagree with the "whisper quiet" in the description. That is the reason why after a lot of research I decided on this fan - I thought whisper quiet would mean no noise at the lowest setting but sadly, I can't sleep with this thing - too noisy. It's not super loud but I do need quiet to sleep and this fan makes a low noise. You can hear a slight noise from the motor but most the noise I hear is from the fabric blades moving. The fan is nice and heavy and seems like good quality material. I will keep it because it will be handy at work on my desk but as for a quiet fan to sleep with, back to the hunt I go.

Clara L. Nigh: Exceeded expectations, really generates some air for a desktop fan and the soft nylon 'blades' make this ideal for a kids room. Cute colour options too. I have it in front of my open patio door in my apartment and I'm getting a nice breeze a few feet away. It's still a desktop fan and isn't going to cool a whole apartment but it makes a very comfortable zone to sit in. Highly recommend. I've gotten other Vornado fans and am always pleased with the brand.

Amazon Customer: I bought this for my boyfriend in early September to use while he works from home as he usually gets very warm, but doesn't like to open windows as he lives by a main road. Initially, he felt like he didn't need it as he found a standing floor fan in his storage, thanked me, but asked that I return it. When I asked for it back to start the return process, he said he tried it out and he loves it and wants to keep it!

He frequently has virtual meetings and it's quiet enough that it doesn't pick up on his audio when it's placed right in front of his monitor, though he doesn't exceed the lowest setting. It takes up roughly the same amount of desk space as a large mug, but has enough power to instant cool him off and keep him cool. To this day, he says he has no complaints!

D. Egedi: When I was trying to find a small quiet fan, I felt silly reading dozens of reviews of dozens of fans. Now I feel even sillier writing one.... But this fan is worth the silliness. 1) This is small (2-3 fists (pinky down, thumb up) tall x 2-3 fists wide including the blades while running) - or just get a tape measure and look the dimensions. 2) quiet. The previous fan for wood drying (heat with wood) was a fixed blade (this fan has cloth blades that make it quieter) that I could hear from 30 feet away at night. This one I can't hear. 3) Moves enough air to dry firewood or cool electronics (2 actual usages to date - yes, I've bought two). I believe that most folks want more air to move past them than is necessary for effective cooling. This certainly won't make for a dramatic movie scene with your hair blowing in the wind - but you don't actually need that much airflow to cool - the air can slowly wash over you and collect heat, them move that heat away from you. 4) safe - the blades are cloth (I know it sounds crazy but trust me - it works). If your hands hit the blades (no blade cage as it isn't necessary), they don't hurt at all. My kids play with the fan the use to cool them...

Leonel: Lo que más me sorprendió es su tamaño; es enorme en comparación a mis expectativas. Esto no fue problema para mí, ya que cuento con suficiente espacio para él. Cuenta con dos velocidades; en principio pensé que la falta de una tercera velocidad sería un problema, pero después de probarlo me retracté. La primera velocidad es silenciosa, y empuja bastante aire para situaciones de calor moderado. La tercera genera algo de sonido, nada molesto, pero empuja mucho mas aire. Si regresas al trabajo del calor agobiante del exterior y necesitas mucho aire en el momento, este ventilador te saca del apuro en medio minuto.

Para los que tengan duda, es AC (se conecta a una toma de corriente de 110v en la pared). El cable mide aproximadamente 1.8 metros. Las aspas son bastante resistentes, antes de recibirlo pensé que se dañarían con el tiempo, pero no es el caso; pueden permanecer años en perfectas condiciones.

Fantástica compra, y como siempre, el servicio de Amazon México estupendo.

Reseña Posterior (1 año de uso)
Después de más de un año de uso, no hay cambios; excelente ventilador. Después de todo este tiempo no hace ruido, las velocidades...
