Vornado BXR Horizontal and Tower Fan, Multi-Position and Multidirectional High Velocity Fan, Pivoting Carry Handles, 20 Inch, Directs Cool Air Upward, Powerful Cooling, 3 Speed Settings, Black

We needed a window fan, but our double hung windows have an opening of 22.75" which is too narrow for most conventional window fans. We purchased a Vornado free standing fan many decades ago, and it is easily the best fan we have ever owned.. So when I saw this Vornado fan that just fits inside our window opening, I order it without hesitation.There is some required assembly to attach the handles. It took some effort to snap the handles into place, but once installed the entire assembly is very solid -- you would never know the fan wasn't fully assembled at the factory.The slow speed is very very quiet yet moves a significant amount of air, perfect for overnight use in a bedroom. Medium speed can easily be heard but is not what I would call loud. The high speed is really powerful and can freshen a room with outdoor air quickly. While the sound level on high is significant, it is still a pleasant white noise.How I assign stars in a review.The star ratings are always in relation to the item's intended purpose, type, and durability.5 stars - The item is perfect with no room for meaningful improvement.

Just wish there was more power to the air flow but it works well in the window for my kids room

I like it. But if it blew a little harder it would be great.

Not too much to say about this fan but I will try to make it informative. I bought it to use in my living room on the floor under the tv so it would give us some comfort in the summer and not take up too much room or look unsightly. So far it has performed perfectly. I love the low profile. Only negative thing I would say about it is the location of the switches is a bit hard to locate in a not well lit area and I don’t like the fact that they are flush with the unit. If the switches protruded a bit they would be easier to find. This is a personal issue and it’s not enough to keep me from recommending the fan to anyone. As for the amount of air it pushes out it’s not designed to be a wind tunnel type of fan it puts out a very nice amount of air for the size. It’s very quiet and it puts out a nice gentle air flow.If you want a nice low profile fan that can also be used as a mini tower this would work very nicely.

The airflow is good, it is silent-ish, however I really hate that it doesn't have a locking mechanism when adjusting the direction of the airflow in horizontal mode.It relies just on the rubber feet!! Depending on the surface it is placed on, it will slide little by little and then the airflow position will go down with it.I tried to use it for sleeping pointing upwards to the bed from the floor, only to find it pointing downward by the morning each day.

Works great. Moves a lot of air. And can feel it from a good distance away. I use it to help move cooler air in my living room into a hall that is constantly a different temperature from the rest of my house. Great personal fan for particularly hot days.

I purchased it for its sleek appearance, but like other reviewers said, it's not nearly as powerful as their other fans -- even ones that are smaller and rated with lower CFMs. That said, I *did* purchase it for aesthetics.

0 STARS Do not buy this! For how much it cost it is junk the speed is horrible.
