Pros

Fan is astonishingly quiet, solidly constructed, and with a vintage attention to detail. Tech claims seem to be legit in the way the air is delivered. The "jet" design really makes a huge impact on air flow in your room.

Of its three speeds, the lowest is inaudible yet provides a suitable gently breeze for sitting within 6ft of it at a desk. The slow speed is the quietest i have ever heard, almost inaudibles, yet it moves a whole roomful of air. They offer good consis... Read More

The petite model of this is truly that, raises just a bit above my coffee tumbler. It is actually a bit larger than expected, and is more what i thought the jr would sized. Its sturdy and of quality design.

A ritzy owner's manual tells you how in great detail with diagrams. It matches beautifully with my decor. Even the owner’s manuel is attractive lol!

Cons

Fan rattles horribly on all settings. It makes an audible buzzing noise but the fan does not rotate. The motor wears out and i can’t find a replacement anywhere.

The compact gunmetal vornado petite alchemy vintage fan is a resounding disappointment. Despite its sophisticated appearance, quality materials, and well designed manual and packaging, it is a disappointment. This is a gimmicky and cheap looking fan t... Read More

Image shows it to be matte copper, the actual item is shiny. What looks like elegant anodized finish “copper accents’ in the photos is actually spray painted glittery brown paint with a tacky looking glossy coat.

Quality

It’s made sturdy the way things used to commonly be made.

The fan itself is well made, sturdy, powerful(enough for my small 12 x 12 foot office), quiet, and stylish.

It's heavy, mostly all metal, premium copper-on-black materials.

I got this after i bumped a plastic fan i had and one of the blades flew off and jammed itself in the spokes.

Price

We hesitated a bit due to the price, but i'm really glad we decided to give this animal a spin.

A good price for a very nice looking fan that performs beautifully.

It’s pricey, but i really like it.

I hesitated for a bit because of the price, but i finally caved.

Shipping

No complaints, i didn't have any damage or issues upon arrival.

Packaging/appearance

Even the instruction manual and packaging is beautiful.

Arrived very well packaged and in perfect condition.

Even the packaging is deluxe (including a drawstring dust cover).

The box reads, "we expect all of our products to be perfect.

Competitiveness

Also longer lasting than other fans i've tried that i've had to replace every seasono, so worth the price.

Vornado makes the best table fans, and they are worth the price.

However, when it comes to its performance, i can't help but draw comparisons to more budget-friendly $30 fans.

It's fairly expensive, compared with the plastic fans that vornado and others make, but it's lovely, quiet and effective, so if... Read More
