Bought this fan about 2 weeks ago, originally purchased a different brand desk fan, but it arrived DOA. Found this little one by Vornado, looks cool, size was right, price was right. I trusted the Vornado brand, have a few of their fans in my place. Extremely disappointed, after only 1.5 weeks of use, nominal, 3/3.5 hours of continual use a day, the fan motor or blades have suddenly started a warbling noise, like it's now out of balance, very annoying to say the least, since this fan was purchased to sit on my desk. Very hard to get work done with the constant woo woo woo woo woo, I can hear it in the other room. So far, I'm 0-2 for purchasing a reliable, quiet desk fan. Would not recommend, trust in this brand is faltering.
