I recently moved into an apartment with two ceiling fans - one in the living room and one in the master bedroom. I have placed Vornados in every location in the apartment beyond the range of these two fans, including the sun room, guest room and dining room. One an each nightstand in the guest room allows each guest to personalize the amount of desire cooling by adjusting the speed and direction of the little fan. The Vornados are especially appreciated in the dining room. Unlike a ceiling fan, the Vordados can be adjusted to cool each diner without suffering an unwanted cooling of food.
