Vornado BXR Horizontal and Tower Fan, Multi-Position and Multidirectional High Velocity Fan, Pivoting Carry Handles, 20 Inch, Directs Cool Air Upward, Powerful Cooling, 3 Speed Settings, Black

We needed a window fan, but our double hung windows have an opening of 22.75" which is too narrow for most conventional window fans. We purchased a Vornado free standing fan many decades ago, and it is easily the best fan we have ever owned.. So when I saw this Vornado fan that just fits inside our window opening, I order it without hesitation.There is some required assembly to attach the handles. It took some effort to snap the handles into place, but once installed the entire assembly is very solid -- you would never know the fan wasn't fully assembled at the factory.The slow speed is very very quiet yet moves a significant amount of air, perfect for overnight use in a bedroom. Medium speed can easily be heard but is not what I would call loud. The high speed is really powerful and can freshen a room with outdoor air quickly. While the sound level on high is significant, it is still a pleasant white noise.How I assign stars in a review.The star ratings are always in relation to the item's intended purpose, type, and durability.5 stars - The item is perfect with no room for meaningful improvement. The item performs its intended function consistently, and without fail. It also appears to be durable in its manufacture and materials.4 stars - While not perfect, any imperfections are likely to go unnoticed in normal use. The item should be durable given normal care and handling.3 stars - The item has significant shortcomings or limitations, but these do not significantly degrade performance. And/or the item may not be durable if not handled with some degree of care.2 stars - The item has defects or shortcomings that compromise performance. And/or the item may be likely to fail prematurely even with careful use.1 star - The item does not function correctly in any meaningful way or is very difficult or even hazardous to use. And/or the item failed completely with very little use.

Works good. Just wish we could find one a inch shorter to fit in our park model windows. Have to tilt a little and brace it up since it doesn't sit completely in the opening. Airflow is not a powerful as we would like, but it works on spring days to move air in and out.

Not too much to say about this fan but I will try to make it informative. I bought it to use in my living room on the floor under the tv so it would give us some comfort in the summer and not take up too much room or look unsightly. So far it has performed perfectly. I love the low profile. Only negative thing I would say about it is the location of the switches is a bit hard to locate in a not well lit area and I don’t like the fact that they are flush with the unit. If the switches protruded a bit they would be easier to find. This is a personal issue and it’s not enough to keep me from recommending the fan to anyone. As for the amount of air it pushes out it’s not designed to be a wind tunnel type of fan it puts out a very nice amount of air for the size. It’s very quiet and it puts out a nice gentle air flow.If you want a nice low profile fan that can also be used as a mini tower this would work very nicely.

Works great. Moves a lot of air. And can feel it from a good distance away. I use it to help move cooler air in my living room into a hall that is constantly a different temperature from the rest of my house. Great personal fan for particularly hot days.

Ok, I have only had this thing for a few days so hopefully I don't end up changing my opinion on anything here. But as a female going through a certain stage of life and getting those pesky hot flashes, I am always warm and have a hard time sleeping at night these days without a fan on me. Box fans are inconvenient and I have had to buy smaller desk-type fans and use them near/on my bed. While they did help, many of them are vertical fans and I needed air more width-wide. Turning them horizontal seemed to help for a while but over time it's damaging to a fan that is not created for that, and as a result I already ruined one and a second one is not sounding good now either. Enter this Vornado. Air width-wide, just like I need! I saw the design and I thought I could possibly place it on one end of my futon bed, and hopefully it would fit right, and hopefully the air would come out nice, and I'd finally have my solution. Well, I set it up, turned it on and was immediately impressed. It fits nice, the breeze is a comfortable cool and there are three settings. My small complaint is that I actually wish there was a fourth setting between the highest and the second highest, OR in place of the lowest setting which I think is way too low but maybe that's all some people want. The only other issue for me is that I like it set up in such a way that the power options wind up on the bottom, and I have to lift it to turn it on/change settings but I guess that's on me for wanting it set up that way, as I doubt they would design it to have the power options on both sides (that would really be nice!). It does work the other way, but I feel like the way I have it gets better airflow on me. Anyway, perfect, I love it, and should probably buy another one as a backup because I haven't seen anything that does exactly what this one does. Noise level is also reasonable for the settings. Thank you!!

The airflow is good, it is silent-ish, however I really hate that it doesn't have a locking mechanism when adjusting the direction of the airflow in horizontal mode.It relies just on the rubber feet!! Depending on the surface it is placed on, it will slide little by little and then the airflow position will go down with it.I tried to use it for sleeping pointing upwards to the bed from the floor, only to find it pointing downward by the morning each day.

Not worth it -fan has very low air pressure. I got this for a small office and it was not able to blow enough air. Annoying structure also to balance and use. Go with another fan. Poor quality poor design and ineffective. and I missed the deadline to return and one day later asked for a return and was told no. It will go in the trash.
