Atom 2 AE

My Wife and I like having a bed side fan for a little white noise while we sleep. This fan is VERY quiet on the two lowest settings. Also, being a tower fan, the air is moved in a vertical line for better coverage when we want it blowing on us. Update: The fan began making a noise like a creak or rattle. It started being a random thing and is now constant to the point where I don't use the fan when we're sleeping. I tried tightening the bottom side screws and blowing out any dust and this was a short term fix.

Impossible to connect to Alexa and blows extremely weak on high. RETURN

Don't let the price stop you, this is like a LotR dwarf, small and mighty. Setup is a no brainer, just plug the include power supply in the fan female plug and to the outlet, and you are done. The controls are so easy to use, the hole top of the fan is touch sensible, really sensible. The only visible signs are the + and -, the power is just between then, and the whole border is to set the direction, angle or full rotation. One thing I liked was the continuous 360 rotation, it will be really useful when placed in the center of a gathering. Connecting to Alexa was a challenge, I will give some advise to avoid the troubled I had. Adding it to Alexa requires yo to go to the Alexa app and in devices just click +, then enter Vornado as brand and select Atom 2 is the list of available devices. here is when thing are not that strait, the "easy" setup is done by scanning the 2D barcode on the fan, for me it took a while to get it and after that it will not connect, tried twice with the same result. Then I went for the alternative way, following the instruction in the app, with the fan ON, press POWER button until the 4 white leds on the border blink, then click next and after a few seconds it connect for me and asked me to setup WiFi, and thankfully it did not have issues with my network witch have one ID for all types of WiFi. after successfully connecting Alexa you have a nice remote control for the fan, an unexpected, welcome, surprise, see picture. Very well designed device, and even better after being connected.

I like the fact that it can connect to Alexa. The air flow Is weak compared to other vornado products that I own. The noise is very low. I will say that it has better cooling. Then I expected if it had a more powerful motor. And was about twice as powerful. I would recommend this to anyone, but this is not something that will cool your entire room. This is a personal fan that has Alexa connectivity. I am still a vornado fan. But for almost a hundred dollars they could have Provided a lot more for that price.

The fan works, and is Alexa enabled. It’s not a high velocity fan and you can easily get a better fan for half the price. Is it worth packing it up and returning it, not really. Am I going to buy another one, nope. I expected the fan to move more air, it is nice that you can control the oscillation up to 360 degrees and turn it on/off, change oscillation via Alexa. It your looking for something at your desk or on your nightstand your better of with a normal fan your not going to use the features that much. Maybe if you had a situation where you are in different areas of a room and didn’t want to manually adjust the fan all the time… idk

The air flow is huge for the volume of the device and the noise it makes is minimal. I’ve not tried the Alexa integration yet and have a little trouble with the controls but that’s just me. Love the vornado.

Fan requires a bit of a learning curve. Annoying but once you figure it out it’s nice. That it until it starts clicking because it’s dusty. There’s no way to take it apart to clean and no amount wiping it down and vacuuming will make it stop. With summer approaching and perimenopause doing its thing I’m back on the hunt for a fan.

This Vornado fan is so quiet on the lowest setting, If it wasn’t for the breeze, you wouldn’t even know it was raining. The jet black color is nice looking and the touch controls on the top of the fan are excellent in response. This fan rotates 360° for a whole room breeze. The white dots when you turn it on represent low, medium, and high fan setting. The blue dot, represent the degree of rotation. Once the fan is on, and your desired fan speed is selected, you tap one of the white light and a blue light selection appears. Each one of the blue lights and this is how far of a rotation the fan will go. From stationary to a full 360°! Don’t let the size of this fan for you, this fan won’t move some air! Highly recommend!
