The fan so beautiful I really love it but I hope the voltage 220 . I use it as a decoration :(

Pretty disgusted that this is 110V only with absolutely nothing in the product description to suggest this.

What a fabulous fan! Not only is it Vintage inspired and comes in a cool shade of green, it also performs splendidly! Super quiet and powerful! It definitely moves the air to cool you down!I highly recommend this fan! Worth the money!

This fan is the bomb! Cheaper fans do not compare in “torque,” sturdiness, style and function! This fan is the Cadillac of fans, oh ya baby! That’s, right, nothing fancy, no oscillation (you can swivel up or down), no remote (who needs that anyway?), and three speeds but it has a wide range when it blows air unlike cheap fans, it’s forceful, you can feel it across a small room. It puts those tall, skinny oscillating floor fans to shame. Not to mention, it’s just a damn fine looking fan!Ladies, if you’re going through that menopause HELL, do yourself a favour and invest in this sanity saver! I slept with this fan on the first or middle setting and it’s a pleasant, soft white noise. My gawd, this fan saved me from horrible night sweats and all damn day like a furnace hot flashes! Honestly, what us women have to endure!I’ve literally had this running for almost two solid years, at least 22 hrs day|night and it’s still running smooth and quiet. You can get it apart to clean it which I like and the metal casing just makes it super solid. The only thing I’d change is the fact that they used plastic for the propeller, it just seems a cheap finish to higher quality casing. It doesn’t affect the ability of the product but it would just look better if it were metal.Excellent fan overall, you get what you pay for right? Trust me ladies, buy yourself one for your bedroom, you won’t regret it! And my condolences to you on your hot flash hell. I’m right there with ya.

ONE YEAR LATER: still in love with every single unit we have purchased. Still running essentially silently, and been operating almost daily for a full year. We now have multiple versions, in all we have purchased 5 Vornado products, absolutely no regrets.I originally purchased the Vornado 660 room circulator as it is less costly; I love it, so much so that I sent one to my parents, who also love it...but I could not get this one out of my mind. When I went to order yet another, the 660 was out of stock, so I decided to bite the bullet, pay the extra, and ordered this beauty.OF NOTE: I mistakenly ordered the "medium" version; there is a Jr. that is smaller and a Sr. that is larger; this "medium" one is just called "Vintage", so a bit confusing.I have absolutely fallen in love with the Vintage line for its looks, versatility and metal construction; so much so that I immediately sent this medium sized air circulator to my parents for their bedroom! They were carting the 660 from the living room to the bedroom where they had to use a book to prop up the 660 so it would blow "down" from their dresser. One advantage of the Vintage VFAN line is that the fan housing fully rotates from pointing straight down to straight up; the 660 only goes from straight ahead to a steep upward angle and does not offer the flexibility that this one does.Please keep in mind, this is not a fan in the regular sense; it is a room air circulator - it creates a gentle breeze throughout the room, not unlike a ceiling fan, and is the absolute perfect solution if a quality ceiling fan is not an option. IF you want a fan that throws a heavy stream of air at you, then you want a fan, not an air circulator. If you want a fan that will cool the room, with a constant gentle breeze, you have found the right unit.SOUND: on high it is literally whisper quiet; we did not even have to adjust the TV volume and it sits between us and the TV. On low or med it is utterly silent. Plus the "noise" is constant and steady, with no ebbs and flows, ups or downs; squeaks, squeals or rattles. IF you are seeking a white noise machine, or want it in the bedroom to mask noise, this is NOT the fan for you.AIRFLOW: suitable for a 200 sq ft room or a 10x20 foot room, and is listed at a CFM (cubic feet per minute) of 295. That is the equivalent of taking a cube that measures 6.5 feet high, 6.5 feet long and 6.5 feet wide and pushing it through this fan, every single minute.SIZE: The unit stands about 14 inches high, 8 inches deep, and 12 inches wide. The grill area is about 8 inches.The Vintage VFAN is rated at a lower CFM (295 vs 584) than the 660; and is technically not quieter (57 vs 54 decibels on high). In actuality I find it MUCH quieter, so much so that when they are placed 20 feet apart, I can still hear the 660, when beside the Vintage SR (both on high) but when I move just five feet closer to the 660, I can no longer hear the Vintage. As to air flow, the 660 moves more air - but the next size up, the Vintage Sr. moves more than the 660 (613 vs 584).COLOR: The green is slightly deeper than is pictured, less of a mint cast, perhaps a nod to avocado, but definitely not nearly as "deep" or yellow a green as avocado.DIFFERENCES: The 660 is made of plastic (albeit very sturdy plastic), and does not fully rotate; it is also much more economical (although still very pricey), very quiet, has four (soft touch, 1cm buttons) speed settings on the rim and moves twice the air of the medium in the Vintage line, on high. It comes in multiple sizes: 460, 560 and 660.The Vintage VFAN Line is all metal construction (excluding the blades), fully rotates from face down on the floor to face up to the ceiling; it is quite pricey, super quiet (Sr. 53db, VFAN 57db, Jr. 44db vs 660 at 54 db) and has a mechanical twist knob on the rear that offers two (Jr.) or three (VFAN or Sr.) speeds. The Sr. is technically quieter than the 660, and has a higher CFM at 613; the Jr. has a top CFM of 185.Now as to looks, I am in love with the vintage look and do prefer it to the 660. In hindsight, I accidentally ordered the medium size, and not the Sr., my bad. So no, it will not push more air than the 660, even though it is around the same cost as the 660. I WILL attest that it is quieter than 660, although that IS contrary to the manufacturers specifications.Is it pricey, heck yes! Is it lovely to look at, quiet to operate and moves a whack of air, 100%, YES. If you are seeking a silent unit that will create a gentle breeze, cooling an entire room, that is incredibly efficient and beautiful, I highly recommend this unit (and the 660 for that matter), but you have to understand you are paying a high price for high quality.

Chrome arrived first. Cheap packaging, box not sealed. May have been a re-gift, or whatever you call it when you receive something another customer returned. I am very impressed with the look (I have a "thing" for chrome). Lowest setting is effective @ 2-3 meters and as close to silent as mechanically expected. Very quiet. High speed is good to 5 meters and much quieter than a normal fan pushing the same amount of air, which is less than a box fan would move. The vortex effect is not nearly as good as the Turbo Aire I use to have, perhaps the company should add a bit more power to the highest setting. Value... about $100 overpriced for what I got. But I have to concede that show chrome is expensive. The Gunmetal on the other hand...A+ for packaging on this one. I definitely know I got a unopened package. Fan itself was in a lint bag instead of plastic. Hard to believe these two fans came from the same company. Vortex effect on high was slightly better than the Chrome but still could use a bit more power. 5 settings instead of the three the Chrome comes with and low is even quieter, if that's possible. If I got this one in chrome, I would have got everything I expected for the money I payed. This fan was slightly smaller and $50 cheaper.Unless you have a chrome fetish, go for the Gunmetal. All around better, or at very least the same. Over time I may decide the Chrome is worth the money I paid and the Gunmetal is a real steal if they are still going strong 25 years from now. My hope that these fans are pre1980 quality was the deciding factor over sending the Chrome back, but I would have kept the Gunmetal regardless.

At the high setting, the fan is very effective to keep a breeze going. At the low setting, it is very quiet, still good to keep a steady air movement perfect for night time. Best feature is how it does not add to the white noise in a quiet room.It is also quite beautiful to look at, and full metal construction adds to the quality.

This is the only fan I could find that is powerful and looks great in my office. It is powerful and quiet, on low you can barely hear it and it is still relatively quiet on high, all while moving a lot of air on both speeds. It has an all metal body that is well made, only the blade is plastic. Vornado also has excellent customer service, the fan comes with a 5 year warranty, and they even provide instructions for cleaning and maintenance, whereas other manufacturers tell you just to throw it away and buy a new one.

約20畳の部屋で稼働させています。価格差は約2～3倍となりますがピコサーキュとの比較＜目的＞室内の空気撹拌、静かに空気を動かして欲しい。　ピコサーキュ・・・弱運転でも風切音が大きい（低い音でゴーっとなっている）ので耳障りな音に感じた。映画を見るときは止めてしまう。直近の風は強く感じるが5mほど離れると風が散ってしまっている様に感じる。　ボルケーノ・・・弱運転では耳障りな音がしなかったため消し忘れ多発。不快は音はしない。直近での風はピコサーキュの方が強く感じる（音のせいもあるかも）が5m離れると同様とまではいかないものの風を感じた。ボルケーノの方が静かで不快な音がせず、風を押してる感が強いので、ピコサーキュと入れ替えることに。ピコサーキュは洗濯室内干し専用に。ピコイオンに期待（効果の有無は不明ですが）

We live in a 1950's ranch house in Northern California. We don't have air conditioning, and there are only about 3-4 times a year when it gets too hot for comfort. Rather than install central air, we have decided to invest in some decent fans. The last fan we purchased was the Rowenta stand fan. It's whisper quiet so we use it in the bedroom. We are pretty happy with it but it doesn't move a lot of air. Once the house heats up during the day, even after it gets cooler outside, the fan can't easily pull the air into the house and it takes hours to cool down the house, even when it's cooled down outside. This Vornado is a floor fan, aka "air circulator." After we purchased it, we used it in a living room about 20' by 14'. It's ability to move air is impressive on high speed. On a particularly hot night, we moved it to the bedroom to use with the Rowenta. Using these together really cooled the room quickly. This fan can push a lot of air and the Rowenta was tall enough to pull in air from the window. In the living room we have sliding doors, so the floor fan works fine.NOISE LEVELS: The fan is powerful on high speed, and you can hear it. It sounds kinda nice but is not "whisper quiet" on the high power setting. On the lowest setting it's very quiet...I had to turn the light on to see if it was turned on one night. You can adjust as needed...blast it to get the bedroom air moving for awhile, and then lower for sleep if you don't like white noise.FUNCTION: This thing is powerful...it moves air. Three easy settings...high, med., low. Very high quality, all metal construction (except fan blades...which are plastic for better engineering).FORM: The retro styling and the green color with gold accents is really gorgeous. This is something that you are happy to have sit in the room all summer...it's a beautiful little object. Great retro styling with safe electrical and grate openings (the vintage ones were much too wide for safety) But, be warned, you will be spoiled and will never want a white plastic fan again.SIZE MATTERS: I wasn't sure if I should go with the regular size or the "Sr" size. I didn't want it to be too big in the space. But since we were staring down a heatwave and I wanted to see it at its most powerful, I went for the largest size. So glad I did. It's really not large at all, but even a small increase in diameter greatly impacts air movement. Unless you want to put this on a table, go for the large size.WOULD I BUY AGAIN? I loved this fan so much I bought a second one a week later. Considering a third one.
