Q: I bought 1 of these fans 2 years ago and now it is making a horrible racket on all speeds. I don't know what to do.

    Had one of these in my goat barn for a few years and the goats loved it. That was until there was a fire, and it burnt to a pile of ash, except the base that did make it and gave us quite a laugh.

    The 293 really blows!

    The 293 blows! Happy Fathers Day! I just received my yellow Vornado 293. The first thing I did was flipped the face cover and installed it with the handle on the bottom to maintain that classically beautiful Vornado look. I removed my smaller model 630 and set the 293 in it's place. The idea was to move air down the hallway towards the front of the house from my evaporative cooler that is installed in the bedroom. Within minutes, his resulted in a slight breeze in the living room with a temperature drop of nearly 5 degrees. I am very happy with this fantastic fan! Key facts: -Low is 42 watts, medium is 53 watts, and high is more like turbo mode at 70 watts. -MADE IN USA I have at least 5 Vornados. If you are willing to screw one to the wall, or install it on a hallway doorjam you will not believe how much air they can move. My advise to you is to throw out those oscillating fans and buy a Vornado. P.S. If you have a box fan don't throw it away. Tape a high quality 20x20 A/C filter to the back of it and you'll have the most economical room filtration ever. It is literally THE ONLY thing that those fans are useful for;)

    Bought this fan to replace a Vornado that we’ve had for 15+ years. Didn’t even look at other fans based on the quality of our original purchase, and we haven’t been disappointed! Quality product backed by a quality warranty - it’s the only fan I’ll ever purchase.

    Really liked this fan. Robust and practical. But unfortunately it did not last beyond 6-7 years--just died all of a sudden, and it wasn't the fuse. Not Heavy Duty after all, and it wasn't used excessively either. I was told it was out of warranty so I am SOL, and they will give me 30% off on a replacement. I hope the replacement one will last longer than the previous one. It is not a cheap fan. In my decades of living, I've never had a fan die on me like this one--I've had fans that have lasted decades, including one old Vornado (I have 4 other Vornados too). All my other fans that I've ever purchased are still running. My Aunts in Taiwan have had fans that lasted 60-to-70 years of hard continuous use. They just don't make them like they used to or have long warranties. Not a good value proposition.

    It moves a lot of air which is just what I was looking for. I use it daily to circulate the stale air out of the bedroom and hallway and out the window. My only disappointment was with the tilt - not sure if mine was defective but it will not stay pointed in the angle I want it, it slowly drifts back to an upward position. I'll probably wedge a rubber stopper to keep it from doing that in the future. Otherwise, great product.

    I bought this fan in 2019 and run it in the summer to ventilate the Garage. Keep in mind the garage produces some dust but not overly dirty. for the price and touted quality, I expected a few more years of service from this fan. Best just to buy cheaper fans every 3 years..

    Vornado fans are reliable and durable. Easy to clean and maintain, they provide a soothing background noise for sleep. With 24/7 use, they last years. I have three Vornado fans, one being eight years old. The Shop Fan is my latest addition.

    I got this fan to help circulate air in the warmest part of my house. It works really well to move the air. I really like the vortex effect, it's not as irritating to my eyes as a direct gust from a normal fan. It seems to be gentler at moving the air. I like how the stand makes it so you can rotate the fan. The cool part about the vortex is that I can face it away from me and still feel a breeze.

    Great fan! Bought one in '09, runs daily for almost a year. Circulates air well in high ceiling space. Bought a second for summr AC. Easy to clean. Quiet on low, good masking noise on high. Durable, planning to buy third for new house.

    Actually, I have 2 of these fans. First and foremost, it has saved me a lot of time from having to use the air conditioner after dark. And it has really helped keep my electricity usage way down. Early on this past summer, I went to my brothers' beach house in Galveston for 3 days This worked very well when the air conditioning went out in the beach house.

    Made in the USA is the best part

    mikePA - 2 years ago
    originally posted on a site owned and operated by Vornado Air LLC
    I've owned these fans for about 10yrs, the 953 primarily and a few smaller ones. I've only had one fail however, it was subject to drywall dust and moisture. This fan is Made in the USA and the craftsmanship is very different than the 953, the plastic housing density is thicker and the motor itself appears more precision and heavier duty than the 953. The metal stand has a good feel meaning, not thin metal. The fan must be attached to the stand, IHMO they should do this at the factory. The power cord is a three prong end and the cord itself is a thicker gauge than the 953. The airflow between the two models is comparable and the fan noise is about the same. I will be purchasing the 293 over the 953 in the future, the main reason is Made in the USA and the motor. As noted, i've own the 953 for years and these fans run 24x7 in my house and i've only had one fail so, i'm hoping the 293 gives me the same reliable service. ~mike PA formally CA

    This is my second Vornado. The first one is still working great. I have a big bedroom that doesn’t cool like the rest of my house. I purchased this one and the air circulation is beyond great! Quiet and easy to clean. Couldn’t have made a better purchase for Oklahoma heat. Keeps me very cool!
