Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Vornado FA1-0003-13 Silver Swan Fan
Customer Review: not what i expected!
Summary: 1 Stars
this fan is very well built and very stylish looking but it moves very little air for the amount of wind noise it makes!i returned it and it is taking amazon a loooooooooooooong time to put the funds back on my mastercard!Customer Review: Chintzy Fan
Summary: 1 Stars
Don't be fooled like me, this fan is el cheapo. I just got mine, and it rattles real loud every time it oscillates. It's like a Chinese water torture.Customer Review: Great fan
Summary: 4 Stars
A solid, heavy duty fan which is light years better than the all plastic box fans out there. The heavier than usual weight knobs (which are a heavy plastic) worked fine for me and the fan succeeds just fine in moving air around. We've had ours for several seasons, use it in the bedroom and are very happy with it both in terms of its' style and utility.
Customer Review: I love mine!
Summary: 5 Stars
I love mine, plain and simple. Never had a problem, runs smooth and wonderfully. I've had it a good while too, going on a year I believe. Customer Review: Silent but flimsy - 4 stars is not what I would like to rate it.
Summary: 4 Stars
This fan is extremely solid looking, and powerful, as well as attractive, but behaves strangely. The base and the fan seem to be assembled with some sort of floating mechanism that makes the fan seem like it just wobbles around sometimes. You can tell the second you take it out of the box. In spite of the wobbly assembly, the thing really pushes air around really well, and my air conditioning no longer seems 'stale'. I'm sure there are other fans that are more powerful, solid, inexpensive and definitely lightweight, but none are as cool looking as this one.
(Later on, after a customer inquiry to Vornados web site)
As it turns out, the fan is not supposed to be wobbly, but instead should be very sturdy. The rep told me to pack it up and send it back to the factory. That's pretty inconvenient, because this thing is going to cost me about 20 bucks to ship, let along the packaging that is going to have to be carefully engineered. Dont buy this. The situation now stinks, and by the time I get the new one, I will have paid way more than it is worth. As a matter of fact, I am sending it back to Amazon, and they can pay for the shipping label. Thanks, Amazon, for a great message board for me to vent on.
