My Vornado Pedestal Fan arrived! It didn't take long after following the detailed instructions to have it up and running. The base is very stable. You can adjust the fan up and down, There is a full action pivot head to adjust the tilt of the fan. For such a compact fan; it really puts out an amazing breeze. We have an open concept house. I put the fan in the living room and I still could feel a breeze in the dinning room, and that was on low speed. I turned off all of the ceiling fans and just had the Vornado Fan running. There are multiple speeds. This fan is so efficient that I don't think I will need to use the highest speed. I would recommend this Vornado Fan to everyone. If you want a quality product that will stand the test of time, get a Vornado Fan. Comfort and Quality---that is a Vornado Fan.
