THESE THINGS SUCK...ive sent 2 back, i'm done ...
BUT
The output leaves a lot to desire. First, the output is straight ahead, there is no ability to adjust the airflow up or down. So if you cannot place the fan at the level you desire, look for another product. Second, the quantity of air is mostly insufficient. I have it on the dresser 3 feet from the foot of my bed. On medium, directed at my head, I can barely feel any airflow. On high, I cannot feel any airflow when I point it at the door 15 feet away.
SO
This is the kinda desk fan that you have to keep some air moving. It's not the kinda fan that would provide relief on a hot summer day.
Recommendations to Vornado:
1. Redesign with adjustable fins that would allow airflow to be re-directed up or down
2. Make it 10-15% larger and figure out how to get at least 50% more airflow
Update 3/23/19:
The replacement fan has arrived and, while it still has a rattling noise, it's definitely more subdued than the previous one. I've found that it will go away temporarily by tilting or twisting the fan, which isn't that great of a solution but it'll do when it becomes unbearable to listen to. To its credit, it does move a fair bit of air even at the lowest setting. Fan noise itself isn't too much of a concern either, just the rattling sound. Yes it's loud at the highest setting, but that's to be expected given how much air it actually moves. The other two settings are definitely quiet enough to be used in an office environment without anyone complaining about noise.
I'm still not really all that satisfied with this product at this point, but I'm not about to play the Amazon return lottery in the hopes of getting one that doesn't have a rattling sound. Might end up taking this one apart to try and pinpoint the source of the noise and apply a more permanent fix. I want to like this fan, but it's not making it easy on me when the second one has the same problem as the first. Perhaps the HELIX2 has had this issue fixed, but I'm not too inclined to spend more of my time and money to be disappointed again.
In short, I give this product a 3 out of 5. It's compact, easy to use, and moves a lot of air even at the lowest setting. The build quality is lacking a bit, but it doesn't feel cheap either, which makes this whole situation even more aggravating. Would tentatively recommend it if you're not the type to be bothered by a possible rattling noise or if it'd get drowned out over ambient noise levels.
The standing fan simply died after three weeks, not even of constant use.
This small desk version started making clicking noises after 3 short uses. Brand new, out of box, put it on my desk, and it worked great. I would run the fan for 20 minutes to 1 hour. However, after the third time I turned it on, it started making clicking noises inside, as if either a part was broken, or two pieces were coming into contact with each other on every rotation.
At first, this noise was minimal less loud than the sound of the fan itself, but after another few uses, including days where it wasn't used at all, (it's in my office, and we are currently in a hybrid work model, part time in office, part time WFH), today when I attempted to turn the device on, the clicking became louder, to the point where it was a complete and total distraction while attempting to work. The clicking is now louder than the noise of the fan spinning.
This makes two Vornado products within the last six months for me that have exhibited issues shortly after first unboxing. I can no longer support Vornado's products. I have begun the return for refund process with Amazon.
