As a borderline germophobe, I am kicking myself for not thinking of this. It's like a tippy cup of tooth cleaning goodness.

Vornado Launches the 660 Circulator - Next Generation Circulation

Vortex action gets some "vavoom" with the introduction of the 660 Circulator. This little number boasts a beautiful gloss grill and cowl, offset by matte finishes throughout the rest of the product. If bling is your thing, you have to see the chrome glide bar. Not just for looks - the chrome strap allows the product to tilt from full horizontal to vertical (90º) for effortless adjustments to the airflow.

Control Freak:
The 660 Circulator offers 4 speed controls, selectable via push-button controls located conveniently at the top of the unit. The speeds range from "whisper quiet" to batten down the hatches "turbo" speed. A subtle "beep" reaffirms your button pushing.

Napoleon With Dynamite:
The 660 is actually a bit smaller than Vornado's full size circulators like the 733 - but you wouldn't know it by the performance. Pound-for-pound this is the most powerful circ Vornado offers. It moves air 100 feet, at lower noise levels than ever before.

Under A Hundee:
With the high-style looks, chrome adjustment bar, pushbutton controls and crazy performance, you'd think the 660 would be one of our most expensive circulators. Fortunately, you'd be wrong- because you can own the 660 for $89.99.

Save Energy & Money This Summer With Vornado

How A Vornado Creates Whole Room Circulation from Vornado on Vimeo.

A Vornado Air Circulator functions differently from other fans. While a typical fan only circulates the area directly in front of it, a Vornado circulates all of the air in the room using an airflow phenomenon called "Vortex Action"

Learn about how a Vornado works differently, and how it can save you big money this summer.

The Most Baddest Record Player Ever - Clairtone

I just found a buyer for my Sylvania console record player (not the one above) today via Craigslist. *Sigh* I hate to let her go but I just don't have enough room in my house to dedicate a whole wall to a record player. At least I'll still be able to enjoy the tone of vinyl via a component turntable... And at least I now have a pie-in-the-sky dream for another console system that I can love even more than my trusty Sylvania. The Clairtone G2. Endorsed by Sinatra and coveted for over 40 years by lovers of mid-century modern design- this is hands down the coolest record player out there.

A little reading last night uncovered some very interesting sites dedicated to this icon of design. Namely:
A full G2 Restoration project
Great shots of a Clairtone Manual
The Art of Clairtone Book
And perhaps my favorite - a site built by designexchange.ca dedicated to the subject.

Working in a business like Vornado - where both product design and performance must exceed the status quo - Clairtone is an inspiration.

Some Classic Vornado Design - Vornado Fan Table

Vintage 1950's Era Vornado Table Fan

A big thanks to sharpknees for posting up some pics of his 28F Vornado Fan Table. A little bit Jetsons, a little bit Eames- this is a classic with a unique and functional application of Vornado's Whole Room Circulation. Another "thank you" to fan guru ZacharyDY4's enthusiasm and knowledge on seemingly every fan out there, including Vornado!

Vornado still manufactures a vintage style fan that features the classic design cues of 1940's and 1950's era Vornados. If you have a Vornado Fan or Heater that you would like to show the world, join our Vornado Fan Club group on Flickr, and show us what you've got!
