I have had a Vornado fan in my office for more than 15 years. It would often get hot enough that the A/C just wouldn't cool the room down. I would turn on the Vornado to circulate the air and in no time the air movement would cool the room down.
Now I have this unit for my home. I really like the many features this model sports. The fan head is adjustable from straight up to down towards the floor. And when you hit the switch it begins oscillating and moving the air from side to side.
It has three fan speeds and the switch is easily accessible.
This model appears to be very well made and should last quite a long time. My 15 yr old model is still going strong and from the looks of this one I will be cool almost forever.
