Vornado Fan Season Tip #3 - Ceiling fan or Vornado?

Vornado is Your Number One Fan:
In rooms where a ceiling fan is present, you may consider using only your Vornado, as the downdraft of the ceiling fan may create enough of a disturbance in the room as to minimize or negate the unique Vortex Action airflow of the Vornado Air Circulator.

Vornado owners frequently report that the smooth, gentle airflow of a Vornado is more comfortable and effective that of a ceiling fan. Vornado officially recommends experimenting to determine your ideal preferencess- but I say ditch that dusty old, clicking and rattling, off-balance eysore of a fan and go with a Vornado circulator! In doing so, you'll restore your ceiling to its clean, unobstructed beauty AND you will have a more effective, more comfortable way to keep your cool this summer.

Vornado Fan Season Tip #2 - Refresh The Air In Your Home

Moderate temperatures make Spring the ideal time to take advantage of open windows and doors to improve indoor quality. According to a report by the EPA , there is an increasing body of evidence that indoor air can be more seriously polluted than outdoor air , even in the largest and most industrialized cities. Cleaning chemicals, paint, fragrance dispensers, and even carpet are just a few of the culprits that elevate the contamination levels in your home. The report recommends the introduction of fresh, outdoor air into indoor spaces to reduce the presence of these pollutants.

By positioning your Vornado in front of an open door or window, with the airflow directed into the room, you can considerably increase the amount of fresh air that is flowing into your space. Your Vornado moves a high volume of air and this technique is an excellent way to refresh the often polluted indoor air with clean air from outside your home. The flat panel shape of the new Vornado 270 and Vornado 573 makes these products uniquely suited to this application as they may fit easily into doorways or windows.

It's Vornado Fan Season - Get The Most Out Of Your Vornado - Tip 1

With spring in full bloom, it is officially Vornado fan season. Over the next few days, I'll offer up some tips on how to maximize the performance of your Vornado circulator.

Placement:
Unlike typical fans, your circulator is not intended to blow air directly at you- instead it circulates all of the air in the room. To get the maximum effect out of your Vornado, place it in a corner or perimeter location in the room, facing towards the opposite wall or corner. If possible, avoid large obstacles, such as furniture, that could interrupt the airstream.


Also, be sure that the rear of the Vornado is free from obstructions (curtains, furniture) that may block the air as it is pulled into the circulator. The signature Vortex Action airflow will travel across the room, and flow along the walls and ceilings – ensuring that the entire room is circulated. Because hot air rises, the coolest air is typically near the floor – so placing your Vornado on or near the floor is recommended to quickly establish a balanced room temperature.

According to the post, a small yet powerful fan in an RV (particularly in a slideout) is quite a welcome feature.

"One area of an RV that suffers from inconsistent temperatures is the slideout. Most late model RVs have large slideouts and none that I am aware of have heater or A/C vents within them. The slide sits outside the RV box and can suffer from cold and heat soak. So this is where I want to circulate some air towards...

...The fan met all my expectations. I can sit in the dinette or sofa area and feel a nice breeze, not to strong and not too weak. With two speeds, the fan can be adjusted to your comfort level.
