This is my second standing floor fan of this size from Vornado. The other one has been running on low 24/7 for many years distributing heated/cooled air. I needed another one on the other side of my home. This fan is powerful and very quiet. It looks great in the room. I think I prefer all white over black now. I now have 5 Vornado fans and 2 Vornado space heaters. I value quality and Vornado has always delivered that in both their products and customer support.
