The perfect size for the bathroom/dressing room area I have placed the unit.  The sound is very quiet on low and not intrusive at all at the high setting.  This unit replaces a model 630 which I had for eight years.   One of the key features for choosing model 460 is the grill can be removed to dust it and the blades.  I am usually extremely satisfied with Vornado fans as they last until I am ready to buy something different (usually for style reasons).  The last time I was lured to try another brand the fan did not make it one through one summer.  This never happens with Vornado.  Their fans may cost a little more on average than similar styles from other brands, but I have never regretted a Vornado purchase.
