This air circulator is a miracle worker! I wasn't too sure if the claims were accurate, but it truly does circulate air in the whole room. We've hosted several gatherings in our home since the purchase and it does a fantastic job keeping the air moving. Bonus points for the vintage syle- most guests are too busy complimenting the design to realize it's actually hard at work! Treat yourself, and your home! Vornado is definitely a brand I've come to trust. You get what you pay for with these guys!
