I chose this fan based on the claim that it would send a column of air up to 20 feet and the Vornado reputation and previous experience with this brand. The truth is that this fan put out a very weak airflow, even on the high setting. I set it on my desk and could barely feel the breeze just a couple feet away. It is a cute design but is seriously lacking in performance. I will be returning this item to the store for a refund and looking for one that meets my performance needs.
