Quiet and built of durable plastic, this device circulates air throughout a room at home, at the office, or in a college dorm. Use it alone or with an air conditioner to cool in the summer and to circulate heat evenly throughout a room in winter. Its 72-watt motor combines with a deep-pitch propeller and a cunning grille design to move air in a tight beam. The head pivots from horizontal to vertical. It has an infinitely variable speed control (from 800 to 2,400 rpm), stands 12 inches high, has a 9-1/2-inch-diameter head, weighs 5 pounds, and carries a five-year warranty against defects. --Fred Brack ...

Highly Impressed
I just received this Vornado Fan and although UPS mangled the box, the fan itself is great. I was highly impressed by the quality and the air output of this fan. For it's size it will really amaze you. The continuously variable speed is great!!!. It's not like a regular fan that has 1. 2. 3 settings you can adjust it to any output. It's whisper quiet at its lower setting but relatively loud at it's highest. The noise doesn't come from the motor but from the deep scoops of the fan blades themselves....it maybe a little loud at the higher setting but for the amount of air that it can push, highly worth it!!! The Grill and fan blade comes off easily for cleaning and Vornado offers a 5 year warranty on this model. I would recommend it to anyone

The Little Black Fan That Could!
I call my new Vornado 'The Little Black Fan That Could'. It's saved my life! Or at least my productivity. I plunk it down near a window and it blows fresh, cool air inside whenever it gets hot up here. My little black fan chugs on and on and on, all day and night long if I want it to with nary a complaint, which might make it even better than a boyfriend ;) It packs a mean punch, a lot more than my big, loud, cumbersome oscillating fan. I also really love the variable slide-speed thingy, which lets me decide exactly how much cool air I want. And if I move into another room, the Vornado comes with me without any lugging a big fan around.

If you are having problems with heat or air circulation, get this fan. I mean it. It looks expensive, but it's the best fan you'll ever own.

FAN-tastic Buy!
This fan is mighty powerful and the best thing about it is the fact that it's very quiet. Of all the fans I've tried this size, this is the quietest. Especially on low....you'll hardly hear it running. Great for moving a little extra air conditioning into another room. Well made. Durable. Sturdy. For the few extra dollars for a fan this size, it's adds up to a great value.

Vornado rocks!
It arrived today. It's June in Atlanta and I've been searching for a fan to help cool my home office. I didn't want to go to the expense of installing a ceiling fan, and felt sure that an inexpense floor or table fan would suffice. Unfortunately, I initially went to my local Target store. First I bought a 17-inch tilt-up floor fan made by Honeywell. I soon discovered that the on/off switch was cheap and that the lowest setting was enough to fly a kite in here. I took it back. My next choice was an oscillating fan on a floor stand. Cheap, cheap, cheap workmanship-- plus, you had to assemble it. The motor was metal and seemed durable enough, but once mounted, it sagged sadly toward the floor-- the plastic apparatus and stand, too weak to support it. I took it back. Ok, I told myself. Don't be in such a hurry. Go to Amazon and do some research. Vornado fans were generally given high ratings. Mine arrived and I am elated. It is just the size I need, is sturdy, the fan-speed settings are unlimited, it runs quietly, and puts out a wonderful breeze. Vornado fans have many fans (and visa versa). Now I am one of them!

Great air-mover, quiet (relatively) and in a compact frame.
4.5 stars, actually.

This fan is great. It's really small, so it can be placed in a window frame or almost any where you need air to be moved from, and doesn't obstruct like a larger, yet less-powerful fan would.

It's really powerful. It really does shoot a tight beam of air, and in turn circulates air around an entire room. This is especially helpful, in say, small, un-air conditioned dorm rooms at colleges too cheap to install AC. This fan is also very good at moving cool air from one room to another. My room at home, also, ironically, does not have AC. The family room down the hall does. So I just place this baby in the hall aimed into my room, and the lovely cold air is pulled in from the family room and shot into mine, and my room is now AC'd, somewhat.

The variable speed control is very nice, letting you control exactly how much air you want moved. The lowest speed is almost silent, but is meant more for just personal cooling, while the fastest speed is rather noisy (but nothing unbearable, it's not bad at all), it IS moving quite a large volume of air, and good for whole-room air circulation/cooling.

I would give this gem a 5, but the frame is just a bit mal-aligned. It can get bent just slightly which causes the blades to smack against the plastic frame, and while this is easily correctable, it is annoying. ... Read more

Hamilton Beach 04161 Is the Best
I have asthma and the Hamilton Beach 04162 has both my votes. I did a lot of research and intially bought the Blue Air (which I returned the next day). The reviews indicated it was the quitest air purifier. It isn't and it cost 2 and 1/2 times the price of the Hamilton Beach. Although it supposedly has the lowest decibel level (which I do not believe), the BlueAir has an extremely irritating high whine that oscillates irregularly, not to mention an annoying bright blue light. This might be good for torturing someone, but the BlueAir is NOT quiet. The only reason I didn't buy the Hamilton Beach to begin with was because a reviewer said he could not sleep to it. ... The Hamilton Beach on low setting has a white noise effect and I actually prefer to have it on when I sleep. It's sound is soporific. The light from the Infrared can be turned off, but it is not annoying like the light from the BlueAir, so I leave it on. The infrared has elimated the mold problem we were having in our bathroom. It is very attractive, well designed, well built, doesn't way a ton, monitors the air, does not incorporated ozone (thank God), and has enabled me to sleep much better. The air is noticibly cleaner and fresher now. The bottom line is I use to get up frequently at night wiith my asthma and now I don't!

Exceptionally quiet, this big air cleaner is recommended for closedrooms up to 488 square feet in size. It has four speeds, a lighted,digital-display control panel that monitors filter performance, and two filters. One ofthe filters is true HEPA, meaning it's at least 99.97 percent effective intrapping extremely tiny particles (as small as 0.3 microns) and removing smoke,pollen, dust, animal dander, dust mites, and molds from the air. The other is anactivated charcoal filter that removes odors from the air and captures largeparticles before they reach the HEPA filter, prolonging the latter's life.Designed slim so it can be placed unobtrusively against a wall, the air cleanermeasures 18-1/2 inches high, 16 inches wide, and 8-3/4 inches deep. The handlesmake it easy to move the appliance from room to room. It carries a five-yearwarranty against defects. --Fred Brack ... Read more

Good Product
I bought Bionaire BAP1175 as opposed to other HEPA air purifiers because I wanted to make sure I can get a brand whose filters are available anywhere and for the fact that it does what it's supposed to do. I didn't give it a full 5 star rating because the two Hepa filters that I would probably have to replace costs about $30 each. I think the filters are overpriced.
As far as how it performs , so far I am happy with the product. It does also have a carbon filter which does remove oders and the way the air is circulated through the unit, efficiently removes dust and particles through its HEPA filter.
I have found that the unit also serves as an efficient air circulator. At its highest fan speed it moves the air arround the room so that the room actually feels cooler in the summer and warmer in the winter.
At its lowest fan setting, it is quite enough for me to sleep comfortably. So it is appropriately named for what it does and where you can place it -- in the bedroom.

Wonderful product!
I did a lot of research before deciding on the Bionaire 1175. My criteria were: (1) Quality product from a company I knew; (2) True HEPA with a prefilter (see how much I learned?); (3) Functional and nice-looking. I could not be more pleased! The unit absolutely looks great: modern, clean design, well-placed buttons, and the nightlight on the readout looks great. It fits neatly against a wall and has a small footprint. These are aesthetic concerns, true, but the unit has to sit someplace in your home, and I wanted it to look good. The air is drawn in the front and out the top, so you get maximum cleaning without the outflow interfering with the air intake. It truly is quiet; the highest setting could probably be compared to running a regular fan. Every day or two, I can remove a good amount of cat hair and larger dust clumps from the front grille -- and this is just the bigger stuff that's getting caught before it even gets to the filters! So, I know it's cleaning my air, and it looks great doing it. Works for me!!

Can't say this is quiet
Perhaps no fan-based air purifier should not allowed to be advertised as quiet. This one is no exception--and I am talking about it at its lowest setting (Sleep). Although it is a bit quieter than my previous fan-based air purifier, it can be clearly heard, even while surrounded by other normal day-time sounds. I can hear it from across the room. Higher settings (Low, Med, High) are worse--I can't stand using Med and High unless I'm out of the room.

I bought at Costco a stand-up cooling fan (with a 21"-by-2.5" air outlet) that is noticeably quieter than this, at roughly the same air output rate.

If you insist on a fan-based air purifier, this may be good enough; just don't expect miracles in terms of quietness. But if you want really quiet or nearly silent, you should consider the Ionic Breeze (although you might find that the slower cleaning rate and the cleaning hassles unacceptable).

Nice unit!
Works well, does a great job moving the air and cleaning the air as well. Sleeping with it on the lowest setting is fine, but your most effective cleaning is on the highest setting (of course). The only thing keeping it from a five star rating is the over priced replacement HEPA filters. Unit itself is a great deal here on Amazon, couldn't touch the price locally. Am going to order a second unit (or maybe the larger one) for the living room. With 3 dogs, this unit really shines.

Product does not match its name
Package arrived intact, no rattle sound either. However, motor made a loud high pitch noise that seems something scratching the motor or fan. Bionaire seems needing a better quality control over its supply maker. ... Read more

This multi-purpose, heavy-duty shop fan features high-velocity, air-beam technology that puts air where it’s needed for improved ventilation--perfect for the garage, workshop, or basement. Its heavy-duty, powder-coated base allows for pointing the head in any direction; point it in one direction for cooling off, straight up for better air circulation, or down for drying painted or varnished items. There are also three different speeds to choose from for precise air control: 950, 1200, or 1550 RPM. The fan itself is made of a nearly indestructible polypropylene body and a durable steel base. For increased accessibility and grab-and-go portability, this fan offers a comfort-grip carrying handle and an extra-long, 10-foot, grounded, 110-120-volt AC cord with storage capability. Its long-life, ball-bearing motor never needs oil and is dust resistant, while the patented removable grill makes cleaning easy--just wipe clean with a warm, soapy cloth. Measuring just 17-1/2 by 14-1/2 by 16-1/4 inches and weighing only 14-1/2 pounds, it's easy to place this fan in an ideal location while in use or to tuck it out of the way for storing. The Vornado heavy-duty shop fan is made in the USA and boasts a lifetime warranty. --Catie Unger ... Read more

Great fan! What's not to like?
I own a couple Vornados and am definitely addicted. So when I saw color from the ususaly B&W folks at Vornado I had to buy. This thing looks neat and it arrived in fine condition. The padded handle, the fat pipe base, the long grounded cord and a place to store the extra. I like it and I like that it's made in the US and has a lifetime warranty. Way to go Vornado!

Not all it's cracked up to be
I have always been impressed with Vornado products. Therefore, I was lured into purchasing this fan when it arrived in my "Gold Box" as a special purchase. However -- as the saying goes -- all that glitters is not gold. My Vornado fan arrived broken: The front protective grill is made out of cheap plastic, and due to one of the plastic clips being broken, the front grill will not stay in place. It literally falls off.

Despite that, I still tried to use the fan. The fan produces a "stream" (tunnel) of air into one location, and does not cool a wide area.

If you want a fan that will only direct air into one spot, this fan might be fine. But if you want over-all all-room cooling, this is not a good choice. ... Read more

A slim, space-saving design, this Bionaire tower fan adds comfort and cool to your home with the added ease of remote control. The fan features a noise-reduction design that is almost soundless on the lowest setting and comfortably quiet on the two higher settings. An optional 90-degree oscillation function increases room circulation and makes the fan a good candidate for corner placement. The unit also includes a pleasant breeze setting--sporadic cycling through the three speeds for a natural feel--and a sleep function that gradually slows the motor down and turns it off. The fan’s 7-1/2-hour timer works in half-hour intervals for convenience, and an included remote control operates all the fan’s functions. Bionaire also equips the soft-touch control panel with helpful green LED indicators. --Emily Bedard ... Read more

Great, quiet fan!
This fan has far exceeded my expectations-it's super-quiet, easy to move around, and has numerous handy features. I've had it about a year-no problems. I would highly recommend it to anyone who wants a fan that works well.

Well made, quiet, and works well
I too suspect a serious hatchet job with ulterior motives from these other reviewers. I have 2 of these, almost 2 years now. I like them very much. They oscillate smoothly and its the only fan I can have near a TV that wont ruin the show with it's incessant cranking noise like a standard fan. I am ordering another one today on the Friday sale. I can't speak for other people but I'm sold. One other note. You can find tower fans from Bionaire in the discount stores but they are the cheapie model, this one is the higher quality one. Maybe the ones these other people are complaining about are the more squarish versions from BJs and Sams and the like.

It's true. This is absolute JUNK.
It's heading out to the curbside after just a few months.

An absolute waste of money, don't bother!

Quiet, it ain't.
So far, the reviews on this item have been in the extreme -- either the product is godawful, or it is the best thing on the market. I have both good and bad review, based on the one I purchased. It delivers a lot of what it promises: a sleek design, multiple functions including oscillation, breeze mode and three speeds to suit your needs, and best of all, it's remote control operated. It also has a programmable timer (which I haven't tried yet). But quiet it ain't. At the lowest level, its sound is loud enough to be irritating (instead of the nearly inaudible hum as advertised), and at the highest level, the humming is loud enough to drown the sound of the television. It's like the sound you hear sitting in a flying airplane. Perhaps this happens because I sit too close to the fan (about 8ft. away diagonally) -- but therein is the other problem: this fan is not strong enough for a large room. I put it in a corner of a 12 X 9 room, and I have to put it on the highest level to actually feel the breeze from the other side.

There it is, the good and the bad. Conclusion: it's a pretty machine that works pretty well, with conveniences. But not as quiet or powerful as advertised. And I will have to wait to report the final test of durability: how long this machine will last through the summer.

ITS JUNK

Gets The Cigar Smoke Out!!!
Okay, your wife says you can have one room to smoke cigars, but the smoke better get exhausted, because she doesn't want the "fragrance" to permeate the rest of the castle. You try an open window...phew, doesn't work; then an air purifier; no where near enough clean air. So you call an air exchange specialist who gives you a dollar estimate that you think could buy you a Palm Springs condo. Hmm, what to do, what to do....
Get yourself an Air King 9550. This little powerhouse, on full blast, will exhaust 2181 cubic feet of air a minute, with enough force, that you don't have to worry about cold air intrusion. A room full of cigars and a lively poker game may take two 9550s, but by morning the smoke is gone. Turn the fan around for half an hour and all traces of cigar aroma are vanished as the 9550 pulls in fresh air. I tried professional model ozone generating air purifiers that cost hundreds of dollars and my cigar den remained odorous, but one 9550 did an incredible job. I bought two, thinking that one might not do the job, but the second one is now my emergency and poker night back-up.

The Little Fan That Could
I was looking for an average fan with directional ability. Boy, was I surprised when this baby arrived! For its size and price, I could not ask for a better fan.

Amazon.com Review

Quiet, effective, and relatively unobtrusive, this Holmes HEPA air purifier improves the atmosphere of the home by removing 99.97 percent of all airborne particles in the air it filters. It uses four heavy-duty true HEPA filters to do this, drastically reducing pollen, dust, allergens, and irritants in the air. The unit is designed for a 20-by-23-foot room (or up to 460 square feet), and it fits flush against the wall without obstructing operation. With its lighted control panel and well-marked buttons, the purifier is easy to operate. It includes four fan speeds powered by a GE motor and can be shut off without unplugging. For added convenience, the purifier comes with a remote control that operates all functions. Holmes' HEPA filters need replacing approximately twice yearly with typical use, and the procedure is straightforward. All the filters include Microban treatment to guard against the growth of microbial bacteria. Measuring 9-3/4 by 24-1/2 by 19 inches, the unit can be oriented vertically or horizontally. It carries a full five-year warranty. --Emily Bedard ... Read more

Where is My Product
I ordered this back in the winter of 2004, and kept getting message from Amazon indicating that there is a delay in shipping the product. After 2 delays, I just canceled the order. That is the first time I had a bad experience with Amazon, and I planned to cancel my Amazon-branded Visa card as a protest.

don't expect to recieve this item
Who ever is selling this can't even seem to come up with the product. I suggest finding someplace else to purchase it. I ordered this in Feburary now its April and they still can't seem to find one to ship. They claim ships in one to two weeks, yeh right. Allergies and other nastys in the air don't wait for these shmos.

Excellent air cleaning unit
After researching HEPA filters for several weeks, I decided to purchase this one and am very happy I did.In most homes, when youlook across the room when sunlight is spanning across it, you can see various little specks of things floating through the air -- specks that enter your eyes and you breathe.After getting this unit, I no longer have the "dirty air" problem.

The unit itself is VERY quiet on the lowest 2 settings (easy to sleep to), the 3rd setting sounds like a fan is blowing high speed -- able to sleep to if you don't mind some white noise.The highest setting is a bit loud, but there is really no reason to have it on that setting, unless you quickly want to purify a room.

If you're debating whether to buy a HEPA purifier -- after you replace your first set of filters and see the filters liberally coated in grime that you would otherwise breathe in, you'll thank yourself.If you're debating whether to buy THIS HEPA purifier -- I have had this one since May 2004 and have just recently replaced the filters.The unit itself still looks and sounds new.I've bought products from Holmes before...and all of their products are still fully functional after several years.

Definately recommended!

Smell the difference
I read about this purifier in Consumer Reports (it was one of the top 3 most highly rated) and have not been disappointed with it. The air in my apartment is noticeably more clear, and the added amount of circulation is really nice. Heat from the heating registers is now more quickly dispersed because of this unit. The remote control, although a nice touch, has to have line-of-sight with the device which is sometimes quite inconvenient. This unit has little lights on the front that tell you the filter status as well. Nice touch. On the highest (of four) settings, it's about as loud as an in-window air conditioner, on the lowest, it's almost inaudible. As for room size ratings, you can get one rated lower/smaller but it will just take a lot longer to filter. They don't stick you on the filters either; they last about 6 months (give or take) and cost about [$$$] total to replace. One of the best purchases I've made this year. ... Read more

Enjoying my honeywell immensely
From the rating I've given this humidifer you can tell I like it an awful lot... Here are my reasons why:
1. No filter - Who wants to go out and buy humidifier filters if you don't have to?
2. Ease of cleaning - I live in an area with hard water and so crud definitely does build up on my heating element which does ... but all you really need is a little bit of patience and a little bit of a calcium/lime/rust cleaner and the crud should dissolve away (just be sure to rinse thoroughly afterwards... who wants to breathe in those chemicals anywa?)... also there's a plastic pan that also becomes discolored but that's easy to clean too - just a little vinegar and you're good to go.
3. Runs quietly... Like everyone else has said just a glug here and a glug there every now and then... if it weren't for the occasional glugs i wouldn't even know it's on...
4. Does a great job of keeping my room humidified... I keep it on high all night long and I can sleep comfortably at night and not have to worry about sinus infections or about waking up with a headache...
Ok, and admittedly there is one thing I don't like about this humidifier - the start/power button - when I first got this humidifier I couldn't tell if it had clicked on or not and couldn't figure out why it wouldn't turn on... Now I can tell when I've clicked it on, but it's the sort of thing that you get a feel for the more you use it... And once it's on, you're awfully glad it's on...
I think the things that I like about this humidifier outweigh the one thing that I don't like about it... Of all of the humidifiers that I've ever owned this one is the best one so far...

Soothing Relief, maybe...
I have never owned a humidifier before, and this is my first one. I suffer from terrible sinus pains during the winter! Some of my symptoms are throbbing headaches, with pains around my temples, the area under my eyes, and the forehead. I also have an occasional stuffy nose accompanied with some mucus in my throat. I read an article in a magazine, which stated that a humidifier helps reduce sinus pains, pains that are usually caused by dry indoor air. So I decided to surf Amazon.com to find the right humidifier.

Many of the other humidifiers that are offered on Amazon.com are cool-air humidifiers. This humidifier is a warm-moisture humidifier, which is great during the winter. Another thing that attracted me to this humidifier was the fact that it didn't require any filters. I only paid a one time fee of $39.99 for this humidifier. Here are a list of features for this humidifier:

- Adjustable humidistat automatically maintains moisture level selected.
- Auto shut-off at desired humidity or when tank is empty.
- Two moisture output settings.
- Power, desired humidity, and refill lights.
- Easy view clear tank.
- Dual tank handles - one to fill and one to carry.
- Easy clean removable tray and dishwasher safe medicine cup.

On the high setting, the humidifier does not sound loud. The sound is similar to that of hot water simmering in a pan over the stove. On the low setting, it is virtually impossible to hear. You will hear an occasional gurgle of the water as the humidifier sucks in some water.

The humidifier also seems pretty easy to clean. The manual suggests a cleaning every week with some vinegar and a teaspoon of bleach. It is not that difficult. Also, I especially liked the medicine cup feature. It is a small cup that is placed over the opening of where the steam comes out. You can go to your local pharmacy and purchase some "Vicks Vapo Rub" in a liquid form for humidifiers and place a little in this cup. The steam will fill the air with the medicine, clearing up your sinuses instantly.

As far as the humidifier doing its job and helping to reduce my pains, I gave it 4 stars. The humidifier does seem to help, however not as advertised. They claim that this humidifier is for medium to large rooms. I am using this humidifier in my bedroom ( a medium room). I placed the humidifier about 8ft. away from my bed the first time I used it. It did absolutely nothing for me. Now I place it right next to my bed, and it seems to work. Don't expect this thing to work wonders in a medium or large room. You're going to have to put this thing right next to you if you want it to work!

The best when it works, but......
It only lasts one winter. The warranty doesn't help much. I am going to ship it back, but it cost another 20 dallar shipping fee. I don't know what to do if it breaks again...

disburse out lot of water in short period.
3 gallon water dissapears in about 12 hours when it's on full blast and it's amazing where it's all gone. I would've imagined it would make floor and furniture spaces humid and wet. but no. it's almost hardly noticeable but definitely helps my sinus to breath better. I only use brita filtered water. so I don't have to clean up mineral deposit build up on the heating element. Yeah.. material used is definitely the cheapest plastic available on the planet. It probably won't last. but then it's 32 bucks to begin with so I'm not complaining. just another gadget from disaposable age.

I'm thinking about getting another one to really feel the humid.

not sturdy but worked well
We enjoyed this humidifier but it broke after about four months of use. The connection between the water jug and the operating unit was finicky. And, the coil stopped heating up. ... Read more

6 months waiting period
I received total 3 email from Amazon for delay approval since I placed the order in Oct. 2004. I finally canceled my order in Feb. 2005.

check out HRF-14
Yes, the 22500 does work great, but for less you can get 2 HRF-14s (Honeywell enviracaire UNIVERSAL REPLACEMENT TRUE HELP FILTER) to do the same job...

Buyer Beware!!!!!!!!!
This item does not come from Amazon.It also does not come from Office Depot as calimed in the ad.It comes from Tech Depot - an Office Depot Company.

What is hidden from you here is that this ITEM IS NON-REFUNDABLE.
Even if it is still sealed in the package - Tech Depot will not take it back.

So make sure you have the correct filter, and forget about the claim that Amazon and Tech Depot want to make sure your shopping experience is a good one and that you are satisfied.And good luck in finding a customer service phone number.

Great Deal on these!
As Honeywell produces these Air Cleaners and Filters for Sears, under the Sears brand name, cross referencing the units back to their Honeywell filter numbers can result in a great savings on expensive replacement HEPA filters and pre-filters.

We have one unit downstairs and another upstairs and realized a definite improvement in dust and other particulate deposits on the furniture. The air quality within the home is much better and, with a newborn in the home, it really does make a difference.

Pick these units up here for a definite cost savings over the exact same unit at your local Sears store. The airflow design, which is a change from the original Honeywell air cleaners, results in a much quieter unit.

Time to Change Your HEPA Filter on Your Air Cleaner?
Before ordering a replacement HEPA filter for your Honeywell (or other brand) Air Cleaner, be sure to check the model number on the unit. This filter is for the larger of the two upright units with handles (Model 17400) and for two Enviracare Models (62500, 12520). I replace my HEPA filter every year because I am very allergic to cigarette smoke, pollens, dust, molds, and other allergens and irritants. Honeywell suggests that you replace your HEPA filter every 1-3 years. Also, this HEPA filter has pre-filters which wrap around it, so you may want to order a box of those, too. The pre-filters should be changed every 3 months. ... Read more
