 AVOID VORNADO LIKE YOU WOULD THE PLAGUE November 11, 2008
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?

Hotflash cure!!! September 10, 2007

My wife suffers from hotflashes and finding a fan that had a concentrated airstream and was not so loud that it kept us awake has been a challenge. I first saw the Vornado Clamp-on Air Circulator(fan) in a gardening catalog as the solution for stagnant air in greenhouses. In researching the Vornado I found that Amazon carried them, so I ordered one, and upon receiving it looked for an appropriate place to mount it, I finally decided to clamp it to our closets sliding door. One of my concerns was that the clamp might not hold securely or that vibrations would resonate through whatever it was clamped. I needn't have worried the clamp is rubber padded and quite strong and didn't budge during operation. I turned it on to the high setting and was suprised by the strength of the airstream, it was a little loud so I tried the low setting and the noise level dropped considerably though the airstream did not diminish very much and is adequate for keeping my wife cool and letting me sleep without earplugs. We also travel and our Vornado goes with us we just clamp it to the back of the desk chair every hotel room has and move it next to the bed and let the air blow. The Vornado Air Circulator is well made, easy to clean, and I expect it to give many years of service. I would not hesitate to recommend the Vornado Air Circulators to anyone who needs to move air in a concentrated stream and the clamp on feature lets you mount it where you need it. I also use it in the garage and other rooms in the house anytime we need to get the air moving. The only thing I would change is to give the clamp another inch or so of clamping range, depth and width, to be able to attach to a wider range of objects. Other than that, I would not change anything, even the yellow color though they do make one in dark grey or black.
