Vornado BXR Horizontal and Tower Fan, Multi-position and Multidirectional High Velocity Fan with Carry Handles, 20 Inch

Not too much to say about this fan but I will try to make it informative. I bought it to use in my living room on the floor under the tv so it would give us some comfort in the summer and not take up too much room or look unsightly. So far it has performed perfectly. I love the low profile. Only negative thing I would say about it is the location of the switches is a bit hard to locate in a not well lit area and I don’t like the fact that they are flush with the unit. If the switches protruded a bit they would be easier to find. This is a personal issue and it’s not enough to keep me from recommending the fan to anyone. As for the amount of air it pushes out it’s not designed to be a wind tunnel type of fan it puts out a very nice amount of air for the size. It’s very quiet and it puts out a nice gentle air flow.If you want a nice low profile fan that can also be used as a mini tower this would work very nicely.

I only used it for about a week. So far it is good. Just wish I had a remote control.

We needed a window fan, but our double hung windows have an opening of 22.75" which is too narrow for most conventional window fans. We purchased a Vornado free standing fan many decades ago, and it is easily the best fan we have ever owned.. So when I saw this Vornado fan that just fits inside our window opening, I order it without hesitation.There is some required assembly to attach the handles. It took some effort to snap the handles into place, but once installed the entire assembly is very solid -- you would never know the fan wasn't fully assembled at the factory.The slow speed is very very quiet yet moves a significant amount of air, perfect for overnight use in a bedroom. Medium speed can easily be heard but is not what I would call loud. The high speed is really powerful and can freshen a room with outdoor air quickly. While the sound level on high is significant, it is still a pleasant white noise.How I assign stars in a review.The star ratings are always in relation to the item's intended purpose, type, and durability.5 stars - The item is perfect with no room for meaningful improvement. The item performs its intended function consistently, and without fail. It also appears to be durable in its manufacture and materials.4 stars - While not perfect, any imperfections are likely to go unnoticed in normal use. The item should be durable given normal care and handling.3 stars - The item has significant shortcomings or limitations, but these do not significantly degrade performance. And/or the item may not be durable if not handled with some degree of care.2 stars - The item has defects or shortcomings that compromise performance. And/or the item may be likely to fail prematurely even with careful use.1 star - The item does not function correctly in any meaningful way or is very difficult or even hazardous to use. And/or the item failed completely with very little use.

Works fine as a fan to put at the end of your bed. Highest setting was a little too loud for sleep. I positioned it approx 4 feet away from foot of bed and was able to cool off a full sized bed sufficiently at the lowest setting. Sound was not noticeable at this power setting.

The airflow is good, it is silent-ish, however I really hate that it doesn't have a locking mechanism when adjusting the direction of the airflow in horizontal mode.It relies just on the rubber feet!! Depending on the surface it is placed on, it will slide little by little and then the airflow position will go down with it.I tried to use it for sleeping pointing upwards to the bed from the floor, only to find it pointing downward by the morning each day.

Good air flow. Not super powerful but it's exactly what I wanted. Good circulation thru out kitchen. Placed on top of fridge. Buying another for bedroom to circulate air with AC on.

It's quiet, but not very powerful compared to even smaller sized vornado models. Also in horizontal position, the angle adjustment for airflow direction doesn't hold unless you tie the two bars together. Though the fan is good for small window openings which is what I needed it for. Just very unimpressed with the strength of the higher settings. Best for a smallish room.

Great fan. On low speed you can barely hear it at all. HOWEVER, I evidently received the wrong instruction booklet. It said I would need the screws (included - NOT) & a screwdriver to attach the handles. So the first day I spent looking for screw holes & screws. So wrong. The next day I messed with it an hour here & an hour there and scouring the web for instructions or hopefully a video. Finally asked a question in “REVIEWS” and got an answer in a couple of hours. Just PUSH THEM HARD. No screws necessary. Sheesh!! Vornado, post a video !! My booklet said screws !!!! Not PUSH ! Otherwise this fan would’ve received five stars . The controls are in black as is the fan, so a little hard to find and see so i just put a piece of white tape above them. You will most likely love this fan . I have bought several Vornado over the yrs fans. Highly recommend.
