Vornado VFAN Petite Alchemy Vintage Fan, Gunmetal (CR1-0279-102)

Quiet, strong for it's size. Looks good too

The fan itself is very loud notwithstanding the rattle on the back from a part that wasn’t fitted properly. It then stopped working after approximately 10 minutes of use.

No hace nada de ruido. Da una brisa suave, pero es perfecta porque la tengo junto a la cara en el escritorio, así que a menos que quisiera morir como Isadora Duncan, no necesito un ventarrón. Su diseño es exquisito. Los acabados elegantes, hasta la caja donde lo mandaron estaba bonita. Es un artículo de alta calidad que tiene el diseño stream line de otra època. Puro neurótico escribe que hace mucho ruido. éjele: no. Es un placer a la vista, y quita el calor.

Vornado makes the best table fans, and they are worth the price. This one is from their retro designer luxury line, and it's a work of art. It's heavy, mostly all metal, premium copper-on-black materials...even the packaging is deluxe (including a drawstring dust cover). The slow speed is the quietest I have ever heard, almost inaudible, yet it moves a whole roomful of air with that amazing Vornado turbulence. It is SO quiet that you can forget it's on. A dim amber power light would help, but it's really perfect just as it is. Although style and quality were decision factors, I bought it because you can take the whole thing apart and clean the grill, blades, case and even the motor housing separately. A ritzy owner's manual tells you how in great detail with diagrams. Fans need periodic cleaning. Otherwise, over time, you're just blowing dust accumulated on the fan into your room, and gumming up the works with the friction. This feature should really extend fan life far beyond the 5-yr warranty. Another example of spending more for quality up front to get better performance and longer life (the same goes for clothing, TVs, automobiles and just about everything else). Besides, it looks so sexy sitting there on the table. A beautiful blend of quality, style and function, made in the USA!

As advertised. Good build quality, quiet operation. Keeps the bedroom from getting stuffy.
