Vornado 154 Whole Room Air Circulator Tower Fan, 32", Black

I am perfectly satisfied with this fan. The room I am trying it out in is the warmest in the house...bonus room over garage. It has an excellent AC system, but very expensive to run. Within a short time the room was cleared of hot air and very comfortable. Heatwave raging in New England is a true test!We have a Vornado floor fan for several years, great other places but this tower fan is amazing.The room is 14'x 20'. I highly recommend it.

I originally bought one of these for my kids' bedroom. We live in South Carolina, and they go to bed before sunset during the summer -- so their room tends to be too hot at just the wrong time. The Vornado 154 Whole Room Tower Fan took care of that problem.As a bonus, we no longer need to need to run a Marpac Dohm-DS Dual Speed Sound Conditioner white noise machine in their room at night. The fan has four speed settings. The highest setting is wicked loud -- and crazy effective. It'd be hard to be in the room for too long on the highest speed, but it can cool things down very quickly. On the second to highest speed, the fan is effective at both cooling a room overnight and producing a decent amount of white noise.I measured the noise. On high, the Vornado 154 Whole Room Tower Fan generates noise from low 70s peaking at even 80 decibels. Second highest sits in about 62 to 64 dB peaking low 70s. Second lowest is just under 60 decibels -- right about 57 db. Lowest is under 50 decibels.So, if the white noise is not a problem, or might even be seen as a benefit -- this is a great choice of a fan. It cools better than a portable swamp cooler, amazingly.I liked mine so much I bought another for my office. I no longer need to hear co-workers chatter if I need to concentrate.

This exceeded my expectations.It is a unique design and spreads out the air instead of needed to rotate.Its a bit noisy on top speed but does not bother me at all.Very handy remote controlIt was pretty easy to assemble.I like this a lot and recommend it

I just got my Vornado 154 Whole Room Tower Fan today. I was a little concerned when I saw the box had a little bit of smashed area on it, but when I opened it, the product was safely packed and in new condition. Minor assembly required, three pieces and 4 screws (screwdriver required and not provided), very easy to put together. Plugging it in, it automatically started on its highest setting, level four, and it is noisy. I would not be able to sleep with it at that level but on the plus side it does push a large volume of air out. Putting it at level three I can still hear it but it's manageable. I could carry a conversation near it at that level and not have a hard time hearing. It's pretty quiet at level two and still pushing enough air that I can feel it 10 ft away. On level one it's quieter than my clock but not really pushing the air rather than just circulating it.What I like about it is that it blows air everywhere in front. Great for spreading the air around an entire room. I have it near a window to pull in the air from outside my apartment. Within an hour on level three, my apartment was roughly the same temp as outside, usually there's a four or five degree difference. Lots of volume flow.What I dislike about it is the highest setting seems to be a bit too powerful for the fan. I feel like if I ran it at that setting often the fan would die very quickly. Also the inlet vents are right next to the outlet. I am sure it has something to do with the way the fan blades accelerate the air but I'm not able to directly point the inlet to a window and have the outlet blowing toward the center of the room. Despite this, it seems to have done its job, namely cool my room, so I am still very satisfied

I have only been using this fan for a week and am very pleased with it so far. After reading many reviews stating that it was very noisy on high speed I was a bit worried, but alas! It's not very loud at all and we have no problem carrying on normal conversations with it going on full speed, although truthfully, we find that the medium speed is sufficient to provide the cooling that is needed. I love the small footprint and the lightweight portability that allows us to simply grab it by the inset "handle" and swing it around to cool the kitchen, then back around to cool the dining room while we eat in comfort. The old fan we were using was constantly getting tripped over or knocked over by the dogs or clumsy adults because it took up so much room. This one tucks nicely in an inconspicuous and out of the way spot.Many reviewers suggested sliding a pantyhose leg over it to keep out the dust and make it easier to keep clean and I have every intention of doing that, just haven't yet. It would be major improvement if the manufacturer were to make a way to take it apart for cleaning, but I still give this a five star rating because of the incredible cooling power.

I had to have 3 of them in a row replaced just after opening the box, they had loose parts and poor assembly.Treated each one with kid gloves.The one I did keep worked OK for about a week then began to get louder every week.Got too noisy too even watch TV or sleep. I have shop fan that is quieter at this point.It appears that all Vornado products are now built & or assembled in China with low quality control.Was not impressed with the air flow and circulation.Better off getting a normal tower fan that oscillates from another manufacture.If you want a very noisy fan with high circulation buy a shop fan.
