      Loud and the switch is stupid: off-3-2-1.

      Big disappointment

          Pretty sure all fans should be turned on high first, so … makes sense.

        lol

        It means going from a still stationary state the motor will get enough initial juice to overcome the magnets and start to spin. Otherwise if you went 0-1 and the motor didn’t start to spin it would just burn out and you’d be sooking about something that’s actually stupid

        • topherboi on 11/12/2025 - 07:30

    $30 for a tiny fan. I think Kmart $15 ones will move more air

      Fans with metal blades last better. I have two in the back of the storage room running for 15 years contineously, and still moving lots of air. Plastic blade after a few years, seems like kind of deformed.

        Are these metal blade?

          Blades look plasticky in the pictures.

        +10

        Not sure this is correct, 9 years of a KMart box fan, plastic blades and has not missed a beat. Clean the crap off the blades when they get dirty, maybe every 2 years. The front 360 rotation going strong and all up $15 back in the day.

        TBH, I’m surprised it lasted longer than 12 months

      • Serious Lee on 09/12/2025 - 11:35

        Depends on manufacturer. I have Kambrook fans which are great at 7+ years

      • Daabido on 09/12/2025 - 19:14

    How does it compare to this $7.50 USB metal blade desk fan from Bunnings? USB means it's DC with very low power consumption.

      You sure the blades are metal? The look translucent to me

      • serpserpserp on 09/12/2025 - 11:44

        Correct. Blades are plastic, housing is plastic. Maybe the screws and some of the motor is metal.

      • Mr Plow on 09/12/2025 - 14:34

        I have the metal version that looks slightly different but was around the same price. It works pretty well.

      A 1 star review said "1 out of 5 stars.Less air displacement power than a dying butterfly" "If you want a fan that looks like a fan, but does not work like a fan, buy this fan, or, better yet, buy a nice iced coffee."

    • x d on 10/12/2025 - 12:51

      Thanks for raising up this. Might buy one. For those looking at the negative comment about it below, they ignored the positive comments of "perfect… Not very noisy either."

      Much better value than the Vornado

  • Mixhael on 09/12/2025 - 11:34

    I looked online and the reviews seem mixed, and even contradictory.
    But for essentially 66% off RRP it might be worth a shot. Just wish it was a DC motor!

        Being Vornado, i thought the fan would have some standard of performance, being from Vornado and with it being powered by 220v. But i was mistaken… i have $10 5v usb fans that run better..

    Honestly, save your money. These fans are what gives the bell curve its shape, being on the opposite side of 'powerful'. If it were a samurai, it would commit seppuku for bringing shame to the Vornado family. Don't get them, even if they are free.

  • ezarc on 12/12/2025 - 12:02

    Ordered on Tuesday, received on Friday

    Fast shipping from WA to semi rural SA.

    They are Christmas gifts so I'm yet to see them out of the box or operating yet.

    Negative vote as I just received them and totally disappointed with the performance as it so weak totally unable to circulate air around me at all like being described in vornado website. Just lodged a complain to get refund for this piece of junk and i should have listened to feedbacks from other ozbargainers. Fingers cross vornado in kewdale WA will honour Australian consumer law and i will update the outcome.

      Just got mine too these are a joke, very poor airflow. Only good use would be a white noise generator which I actually need to sleep. Disappointed as I have other Vornado fans.

      • tanastra on 16/12/2025 - 18:06

        as part of my update with return process, I dropped the item back to head office in WA after bei.ng confirmed by customer support . now waiting for them to process it . best to write and state your concerns and expectations of solution . before state consumer protection involvement

    • Budju on 24/12/2025 - 18:21

      Just got my personal air circulators and they are indeed underwhelming. I can't believe vornado put their name to this piece of junk.

  • OzBargainer4Eva on 19/12/2025 - 14:23

    • tanastra on 21/12/2025 - 09:38

      Its not amazon or ebay easy return so they are kind of very strict with return policy.

    • ezarc on 22/12/2025 - 11:30
      +1

      You can go to the post office and tell them you refuse take delivery of it and to send it back, Ive had to do that multiple times even when buying from overseas at the sellers request when they have sent the wrong product.

      • tanastra on 23/12/2025 - 14:27

        Great to know that thanks

    The return process is actually fairly smooth and simple, I sent them an email requesting refund because of the poor performance, they replied offered to replace those units. Sent a second email requesting refund as replacement will be just same bad performance, they gave me a PO Box address to return the fans and will process refund after they receive the package.
    The problem is sending them back using their original shipping box will cost $32.50 standard shipping. Guess I'm better off just wrap them up and give away as Christmas gifts… At least they got a good brand printed on them.

    I just bought these for the wife for xmas. If there was an award for the most useless, under-engineered, poorly-conceived piece of landfill junk, these things would surely be in the running. Loud, useless tiny blades, and not even enough wind power on max speed to extinguish a match right in front of it. Just more junk to offload now.. what a poor use of one's time. Ok - rant over.
