My small Vornado Circulator has been one of my best purchases of the year. After using cheap fans for years (most homes on SF peninsula are not air-conditioned) to get by the few weeks of hot weather here (with little or no results), I decided to purchase the slightly more expensive Vornado. What a huge difference! This compact (and pretty good looking unit), is extremely powerful and really moves the air. I now have 3 in my home, and sent a fourth off with my daughter to college. We also use in the winter to keep the heat/temp consistent in the whole room. Great product. Thank you!
