Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Unlike an ordinary household fan, this air circulator doesn't just blow air. Instead, it literally bends and twists air using Vortex Action technology, exclusive to Vornado, to produce circulation throughout the room--no drafts or dead spots. The unit offers low and high speed settings and can move air up to 65 feet. In addition, it conserves energy year-round by working with heating and cooling systems. In the summer months, place the air circulator near a window or air conditioning vent to circulate the cool air. In the winter, direct the airflow upwards to circulate warm air that rises back down to floor level. Especially convenient in areas with limited space, the unit features a heavy-duty clip with a non-slip grip for securing it to any surface up to 1-5/8 inches. The unit can also be set on a desk or countertop thanks to the included removable base. Great for the garage, workshop, kitchen, dorm, work-out facility, deck, or office, the clip-on air circulator measures 11-1/2 by 9-1/2 by 14-1/2 inches and carries a five-year warranty.

4.0 out of 5 stars Great Fan!, September 30, 2008

This review is from: Vornado 542B Whole-Room Vortex-Action Air Circulator with Heavy-Duty V-Grip Clip and Base, Black (Kitchen)

This is a great fan and is perfect for what wanted it for. The only reason I didn't make it 5 stars was that it is a bit loud on the high setting. I ended up attaching it to my the back of my entertainment center with the clip, facing the couch where I sit. I plugged it into the outlet on my stereo so that I can use my remote to turn on the stereo which then turns on the fan. Pretty cool! (Excuse the pun)...

This review is from: Vornado 542B Whole-Room Vortex-Action Air Circulator with Heavy-Duty V-Grip Clip and Base, Black (Kitchen)

This is a decent fan, but I think the price is a bit high for an all plastic appliance.

I like the fact that the fan has a normal table top base as well as a clamp base. The low speed setting is reasonably quiet. The high speed setting is reasonably powerful (not quiet). The fan tilts and turns every which way, which is useful. Note that this is not an oscillating fan.

For the price, I would have liked to have more than two speeds to choose from.

This review is from: Vornado 542B Whole-Room Vortex-Action Air Circulator with Heavy-Duty V-Grip Clip and Base, Black (Kitchen)

I read all the reviews before I bought this fan. I have nothing BUT Vormados throughout the house and use them year round, in winter to distribute heat from the wood stove on stone cold days. The other reviews pointed out this fan's flaws, but I was looking for a clip-on for the kitchen which tends to be a hot spot in summer. In the kitchen I prefer to keep a fan above floor level so as not to blow pet hairs around.

On low the fan just barely moves the air, and on high it truly is a noisy thing. Stick with any of the other Vornados if you want to purchase one for your bedroom. If it weren't for the clip I might have returned it, but that clip holds on tight, so I kept it.
