Detailed Review of Vornado Fans
Air is drawn in from behind through a supply tube, compressed, and directed toward the center of the rotor. The resulting turbo effect creates higher air acceleration in the circulator than in conventional units. The air outlet through the spiral-shaped guard creates a tightly swirling and rotating jet of air that reaches a range of up to 30 m (depending on the model). Directing the airstream toward the wall or ceiling creates a reflection that creates an air loop back to the circulation pump.

Are Vornado fans good?
For centuries, it has been easier to solve the problem of hypothermia than hypothermia. People simply built a fire to create warmth and make their surroundings comfortable. However, dealing with the heat in the summer was almost impossible.
The hand fan was great, but it required continuous human effort and usually served only one person. People began to get used to it until 1886 when a certain Dr. Schuyler Scaats invented the electric fan.
This pioneering two-blade invention changed the course of history in no small way, as it effectively directed air to people, although its use was dangerous.
Fast forward 130 years and we see that there are different types of fans on the market, each with different designs, functionality, and performance, and belonging to different brands. If you’ve never heard of Vornado, you have a chance to dive into a whole new world of fan technology.
While ceiling, floor, wall, or table fans are best known around the world, new brands targeting ever-evolving markets are starting to produce more convenient, stylish, and efficient fans. Vornado fans are a great example of this, but are they that good?
Popular features of Vornado fans
1. Spiral Grill.
The spiral grill is an intentional feature of most Vornado fans. Not only is it a beautiful grill in terms of external beauty, but it also adds an engineering element to the products.
This design, known as the air effect, allows air to move throughout the room by creating a spiral effect.
2. Simple Manual Controls.
Like most Vornado fans, the controls are mostly manual and simple, making them very easy to understand and operate.
For example, you will often find knobs and small levers to control the air flow rate. The grills are also removable to make it easier to access the blades when you need to clean them.
3. Vortex Technology.
While the spiral airflow illustrates the Tornado component of Vornado fans, there is a Vortex component that sums up its innovative design. The Vortex circulation also promotes full cooling and fast and constant indoor air movement for optimal comfort.
4. Enclosed ducting.
The fans have blades enclosed in a cylindrical duct that helps shape the air into what we like to call a high-velocity column, passing through cold and hot areas and releasing forced air into all parts of the room. This also helps keep the air inside until it is released in large quantities.
5. Deep blades.
The blades, locked in a cylindrical duct, are intricately shaped so that as the powerful motor continues to rotate repeatedly, the curved blades can move large amounts of air. This enhances airflow and the overall cooling effect.
6. Smooth design.
All you have to do is browse the company’s product page or its Amazon page and see the variety of designs on display. Impressive craftsmanship is combined with providing ergonomic satisfaction, usability, compactness, portability and functionality.
7. Intake Air Accelerator.
This is a simple yet sophisticated design feature that helps direct large quantities of air to the most efficient parts of the blades to increase airflow. The whole purpose of the Vornado is to maximize airflow and efficiency.
8. Easy to Clean.
Cleaning Vornado fans is very easy. You can clean these fans with common household items and it doesn’t take much time either.
Where is the best place to use Vornado fans?
Vornado fans are very versatile and the applications are wide and almost limitless. You can use a typical Vornado fan in your room, kitchen or office. You can also use them in residential RVs, patios, and in some outdoor situations.
These are good in these fans; they can be used indoors and outdoors as long as there is a power source and an outlet.
If you live in arid and hot regions, a Vornado fan can be your personal comfort fixture in your bedroom or office. They are great for dedicated spaces as well.
Because of their mobility, they can be used in place of central cooling units when you only need cooling in certain areas and not the entire house.
They may not work as well in very large rooms and rooms in hot regions, as you will need something larger with more cooling capacity, but in designated areas, these units are extremely effective.
Features of Vornado fans
1. Power cord.
Vornado fans are powered by electricity and usually come with a medium-length power cord of 6-8 feet. This gives you enough room to place the fan some distance away from the outlet.
2. Speed settings.
Vornado fans have several airflow speed settings that range from 2 to 3-speed levels, depending on the model. This allows you to freely control the amount of air thrown into the room at any given time.
3. Voltage
The voltage seems to be the same for most of its units, fluctuating around 120V. This is compatible with most regions of the world, as well as most outlets. So you don’t have to worry about overvoltage or low voltage.
4. Coverage
Although these are mostly small fans, Vornado has units that can cover up to 120 square feet. Overall, their coverage range averages from 60 sq. ft. to 120 sq. ft.
The 3 -contact grounded air circulator 293 Large Heavy Duty is an example of a large Vornado fan, covering space from 90 square feet to 120 square feet.
5. Multi-directional airflow.
The power and efficiency of a fan depend in part on the airflow pattern. Most Vornado fans have multi-directional airflow due to fan design and construction.
6. OVLH
This is where the power of Vornado fans really comes into play. The airflow is quite powerful in all models. They have an airflow range of 260 to 600 cubic feet per minute. That’s even more powerful than most other cooling units.
7. Airflow Head.
The movement of the airflow head is also another important component of the fan. For the Vornado, airflow heads often come in slanted, nested, and adjustable, depending on your unit. For example, a full-size 723 whole-room circulation fan can be tilted and nested into each other.

Where are Vornado fans manufactured?
Vornado Air is an electrical appliance company headquartered in Kansas. The American company was originally founded by Ralph C. Odor and Ottis A. Sutton in 1945 and was called OA Sutton Corporation. Its main products were fans and other household air circulation appliances.
The company began selling its Vornado (a combination of the two words Vortex and Tornado) fans after the end of World War II. The fans followed the design of airplane propellers in cylindrical housing and were intended for tabletop use. A good example is the 1945 Bakelite Blade Model 12D1.
By 1959, the Two Guys chain of stores acquired OA Sutton Corp, which led to the renaming of the combined company as Vornado Inc. Since then, one change after another, and the portfolio of products and offerings has steadily expanded.
The V6, with its spiral grille and innovative design, remains one of the most iconic models the company has ever created.
In 2006, the company sold most of its assets to a private firm, three of whom formed Vornado, LLC and settled in a nearby suburb called Andova, Kansas.
The Energy Smart Line, introduced in 2017, is one of the company’s latest series, which claims its direct current (DC) motors are made in the United States.
They have infinitely variable speed control, manual and digital push-button control panels, and a number of other modern features that make them truly ergonomic and user-friendly.
How long do Vornado fans last?
Vornado fans can last a very long time, typically 8 to 12 years. Some can even last up to 15 years or more, depending on how well they are used.
For a brand that offers a full 5-year warranty, accompanied by a return and refund policy, you can be sure to use it for a very long time.
This is due to their build quality, construction pattern, power, and other qualities. From the fans and outer casing to the U.S.-made motor, there are so many reasons why Vornado units are durable and long-lasting. The average industry standard for fan life is 6 to 10 years, and very good fans can last much longer.
Vornado Fan Review Conclusion
Vornado is one of the most trusted brands among fans. Not only are their fans durable and efficient, but they are also very stylish and can make a worthy addition to your decor.
