Fun With Vortex Action

I was immediately endeared to this YouTube clip of two kiddos who discovered that Balloon + Vornado = Fun. Many thanks to Mizzork for the delightful upload!

New Terms for Summer Heat Relief - Lemonado

A simple tweet from @JTorrantArt inspired the above concept. Now I am obsessed with juxtaposing other refreshing summer experiences with our brand name. Gee, thanks @JTorrantArt - all I needed was another thing to fixate on! ;)

Old Spice is up their old Shennanigans. And I still love it.

Incidentally, if anyone missed the interview with the two brilliant fellows that started this whole thing, I have included it as well.

Cats Love Zippi Fans

If you contend that cats, in fact, do NOT love Zippi Fans by Vornado, I offer you the following evidence as my rebuttal. In this case curiosity did not kill the cat. It didn't even injure the cat.

"Bad Credit" Car Infomercial Just Bad

I ran across this little gem at businesspundit.com. Absolutely. Terrible.

Funniest Product Review You'll Read In The Next 5 Minutes

Ok, so we here at Vornado try to keep up with what customers are saying about our products. The TVH500 got lots of good reviews- but this review from Amazon.com quite possibly takes home the gold. I must say, it is in honor of Jasmine that I have changed the background image on our Twitter page. Amanda931, if you're out there, please send us a pic of Jasmine. Maybe we can get you a new space heater for your efforts.

Jasmine the kitten makes this worthless to me,

January 31, 2008

By: Amanda Peck "amanda931" (Waynesboro) - See all my reviews

I like Vornado heaters a lot. They give out moderately cool air, so you sit around and think "it's not working, it's not working" until you suddenly realize the room is warm. And unlike the imitations, the heat is not as stratified--particularly if you have it set so the fan is always on.

I thought this one might be sturdier than the smaller ones (it might well be) and that the remote would be wonderful.

But...

The top is a perfect place for a kitten to rest, especially when it's heating. And if she wriggles a bit, she presses buttons, any buttons--but particularly mode and temperature. So the remote becomes useless. If I don't know what mode it was in, I can't change it to high heat with the remote (and I certainly haven't gotten used to which way is "up" temperature on the remote).

While I've been writing this she's managed to turn it off completely once, and another time beep the thermostat down below what the fan thinks is the room air temperature (it's at least 3 degrees too high in my space).

I could take it down to a small work-room in the barn, but there's a problem there, too. One that I suspect that Vornado did deliberately, so this would be perfect for supplementary heating in a coolish room. The lowest setting on the thermostat is 65. Way too high to use as an anti-freeze setting when the room is unoccupied.

Jasmine is a really cute and sweet kitten.
