Vornado STRATA Compact Oscillating Fan with Remote, 19 Inch, High Velocity Air Circulator, Quiet Powerful Fan, 5 Speeds, Touch Control, Black

This fan takes up a lot less space than the box fan I had before, and it puts out a lot more air much more quietly than the old one. The only thing I don’t really like is the tiny remote. It attaches magnetically to the fan, but what’s the point of that? I keep it in between the sofa cushions, and it occasionally turns the fan on or off when someone sits down, or whatever.

Very happy with this design. Perfect for tight spaces like a doorway. Relatively quiet for the speed of the air it pushes.Sure it gets noisy at full speed, but still less annoying than a traditional fan.Very happy with this purchase. (But we do not use the oscillating feature at all.)

I didn’t receive instructions or a remote. The bottom of the fan where the legs get inserted is cheap or maybe I’m supposed to do something else. I would know if I had an instruction manual. I feel like I was sent a used product. Amazon disconnected and now I’m on hold.

Goodness this fan unbelievably quiet! Really brings over the cool air from the wood floor into my office and the pups love it too!

Overall I’m pleased with this fan. The vertical slot for the air exiting the fan means that it can’t hit a wide area at once, but the column of air that forms is very tall and can cover my entire body if I’m standing in line with the air flow.The notable points:1. At 37W max, this is the most efficient fan own.2. The fan isn’t that heavy, and I like the laptop cooling fan inspired design.3. Very quiet on low speeds, especially when far away. While not that quiet on high speeds, the design of the supports and feet, plus the vertical orientation of the fan’s blower, significantly reduces any noises caused by unbalanced rotating imbalance.4. It fits in paces where some fans can’t. It also doesn’t make sense to place where some fans are already doing a good job.5. It can draw in a lot of air to live around, by design.My gripes are:1. The BLDC motor control algorithm puts the speed settings ion what appears to be unequal RPMs apart from each other. The jump from 1→2 is less than 3 → 4.2. The fan won’t recall the last setting it was operating under if power is disconnected. One thing I like about my other BLDC motor based fans is that I can use an Eve Home outlet to switch them on and off. That doesn’t work with this fan. Each time the fan is plugged back in, it runs a quick calibration sequence on the left-right oscillation position before stopping in the middle.3. The remote is annoyingly small.4. It doesn’t work with Matter or any smart home Ecosystem. Vornado, please get with the program on this one.5. One size. One color. I’d like to see another size and that it come in more colorsOverall, I think this fan’s price is a little high, but it operates well, and I expect we’ll see improvements coming soon enough.

I read the reviews thoroughly before purchasing this very odd looking fan. I own many other sizes of Vornado fans. This does not move air like other Vornado fans, but it is extremely impressive. It is able to cool two very hot and large rooms in my home. I appreciate that it does NOT blow a concentrated ribbon or tunnel of air. Instead it moves air more like how you see a jet in a pool or hot tub ...but the fringes of that jet. Instead of a forceful 2-4 foot push of air, there is a large, large cube of air in constant movement and "bubble mix" (staying with water jet idea). In my kitchen that has 8 foot ceilings, it mixes and blends and cools the air about 10 feet out and about 5 feet of width. In another room with 10ft high ceilings, I'm even more impressed. It moves air for about 14 feet and cools almost half of the room with a greater width of about 12 feet. It seeks like the larger the room, the better the cooling. On low, it keeps the rooms with a nice "fresh air" feel. On low, it is relatively quiet. On high, it isn't noisy, but it isn't quiet. You can hear it is on high. I also don't use it oscillating or on the legs provided. Sometimes, I combine another fan in those rooms and the mix of the two is wonderful. Very very cool air ( outside wall temp 85) inside a cool 67 feeling but temp 73). It is a great feeling to feel cool without a forced stream of air. Immediately after turning off the my one fan to use in the second room, I'm aware of how disappointing it is to NOT having that fan in that room. This is why I ordered a second fan. Contemplating a third one for upstairs. It is addictive.... this feeling of fresh and easy to breath air.I don't know how easy to will be to dust over time. The perforated grill looks like an opponent.... however, because of its performance, I will be worthwhile to take the painstakingly small movements to clean it.I've already lost the first remote. But as it stays on most of the day moving air just right, I don't entirely miss it.

I bought this mainly because the remote on my current floor fan doesn't work over 6 ft. I’ve had Vornado fans in the past, and they were excellent quality. While this Vornado remote had excellent range, I am extremely disappointed in the fan itself. It just doesn't move much air. Now I realize why Vornado doesn't publish the CFM. It may (per spec) push air at a speed of 2000 FPM, but its ONLY a tiny volume of air coming out of the 8"x1" (actual fan cage opening, not actually19" as advertised). I calculated the CFM on this fan to be 110 at best (2000x8"/144"). Compare that to another Amazon floor fan (below) I own at 550 CFM, and at half the price. The fan also provides no user feedback-you have no idea what speed or oscillation is set-there is only an on light. Construction wise it's just cheap plastic-nothing top-end, heavy duty, etc. For what you get it’s ridiculously expensive and simply doesn't get the job done. Thank goodness for Amazon return policy - It's going back.https://www.amazon.com/dp/B09T2JNN4M?ref=ppx_yo2ov_dt_b_product_details&th=1

Absolutely love this fan! It’s really nice quality! Highly recommend!
