As a child we had Vornados . Sleeping with out the white noise of this air mover is unthinkable to me. I have had only one Vornado that gave me any trouble in past 15 years and It was fixed and returned to me in less than a week ! WHAT SERVICE ! It was not 733.. I would not own a cheep box fan that I could not clean or had to replace every two years. You always have support or new Vornado for yourself or someone in need of a breeze. Just phone them it is done!
