Summary: AVOID VORNADO LIKE YOU WOULD THE PLAGUE
Comment:
I'm posting this on all Vornado listings on Amazon, as all potential purchasers need to be aware of the shortcomings of Vornado's warranty policy.
I purchased two fans from Vornado direct. Both were larger, more expensive units (280 & 285) that had either ten year or lifetime warranties.
One year after the purchase, the 285 began to vibrate upon start-up. The fan blades would barely revolve, and the fan emitted a loud rattling sound.
I called Vornado's Customer Service and spoke to a Paula. Upon describing the problem, she stated the motor was bad and e-mailed an RMA. However, she told me I would be required to pay for the return shipping.
As this was a large, heavy, floor standing unit, I told her that I would be returning the motor only. She gave no indication that was a problem.
The motor was delivered to Vornado. 5 days later, they called and refused to perform the service without the remainder of the fan assembly. They also had the temerity to tell me that I had voided the warranty by removing the motor, and wanted to charge me for the repair, but again, only AFTER I spent additional money to send the rest of the frame back!
I have 3 problems with Vornado's actions in this matter: 1.) I had to return a defective IN WARRANTY product at my expense 2.) I told Paula upfront I would only be sending back the motor, and she didn't object, and 3.) where was I supposed to get a box large enough for a plus-three-foot-tall, floor-standing unit?
Disgusted, I told Vornado to throw the motor away and forget the whole thing. When I disassembled the unit to extract the motor, I found the fan to be of a cheap design and construction, so it would be possible that I would have a similar re-occurrence of the same problem in the future. Why waste further money on something that might fail again?
BTW: Both phone calls involved LONG hold times to get a customer service person. So, if you're forced to call them regarding service, be prepared to have something else to do while you wait.
Vornado might claim to stand behind their customers. After dropping the original +$150 on the two fans, going out-of-pocket for the shipping to return the motor, and having to dispose of the useless, motorless 285 frame, I can definitely attest to having felt Vornado there. My advice: Find another fan from a better company. Vornado brags about how their products are built in the U.S.; who cares, if you're not going to support your customers?

Comment: Recently purchased the Vornado 733B circulator. It is very quiet and does move the air well. It is useful to direct the air straight up so the air at the top of the room is forced down. I recommend it.

Comment: Sent to daughter in San Diego since they don't have air conditioning. She lives in a little house by the beach and on even fairly warm days her little house gets hot. She said this works well but is pretty noisy when it is on high.

Comment: Having read other reviews here at Amazon on this product, we decided to try this product. Our home has a large, open great room approximately 35' x 30' and 12' high ceilings. Our intent was to give this air circulator a try and if it works as well as other reviews said, we would buy a second one for the same room and point them in opposite directions. No need to buy a second one. The Vornado moves all of the air in the space unbelievably well. Since using the Vornado, we have been able to set our thermostat up by one degree in the summer and still stay comfortable. The unit pays for itself.
As the Vornado website says, this product does not work like a conventional fan. If you stand in front of it, it does not feel like a high velocity fan. It's not supposed to. It's designed to circulate the air in large spaces, not fan the air directly in front of the unit.
Overall, this is a great product. We will be purchasing additional (smaller) Vornados for the bedrooms.

Comment: I've had vornado fans for approx 18 years and only had to replace one. I use them year round. They are truly worth the investment.
