Vornado Airbar 6 Tower Fan and Horizontal Airbar - Black
Product details
Web ID: 18556629Airbar 6 in our "treehouse townhouse"
We're using the Airbar 6 in the horizontal orientation to move cool air from the second level to the third in the great room of a three-and-a-half story townhouse. It's quiet enough to leave running even while we're sitting near it listening to music or watching TV, and effective enough to keep the third floor (where the bedrooms are) within two degrees Fahrenheit of the temperature on the second (where the thermostat is). And yes, the form factor is adaptable, attractive and unobtrusive. Kudos to its designers.

Worked well at first, AWFUL clicks sound
I bought this fan a week ago and it was great! Then, all of a sudden, it started clicking like an old-school clock about once a second. This clicking can be heard across the room, amd persists for a few seconds even after the motor is off. Promising product, but faulty.

Problematic sounding
I’ve used Vornado fans for decades and know them to be both reliable and quite for there output. When it became ti e to add a new fan to a bedroom I chose Airbar 6. After three nights my wife banded it from the room because of a loud and annoying fan sound. I liked the idea that the fan could be used either vertically or horizontally, the base just magnetically snapped into place. The design is quite ingenious. However, with a sub quality fan, the product is disappointing.

Beware - Noisy/cheap internal fan motor.
I bought this fan having high expectations based on the design, made in USA claim, and because I had heard of the Vornado brand. The fan puts out a lot of air despite having only 3 speed settings. But the motor is a cheap AC motor instead of the newer brushless DC motors found in other tower fans. The buzzing and rattle at lower speeds is unbearable and makes it difficult to use at night when trying to sleep. The design is great… but the execution leaves much to be desired.

Quiet and cool
Great fan- love the multiple speeds, how quiet it is even on high speeds, and how it cools really well. I haven't tried it horizontally, but it is very easy to switch between vertical and horizontal. Sturdy and sleek.

Good product but needs a plan for implementation
I bought this item more or less on impulse at a retail store. It's an excellent product in terms of design and manufacture. The magnetic feet are especially brilliant. But I am not convinced that it really has a place in my home. I recommend any prospective purchaser carefully inspect its specifications and assess if they have a place to put it that will make sense and provide a return on the investment. This product has a specific footprint and a specific use case, and if you don't have a suitable place for it you might not enjoy it.

good window fan
my window opens sideways. i got this to keep the window mostly closed and still get fresh air while i sleep. took a while to mount, and it's a bit noisy, but now i'm mostly happy. i have it bungeed to hooks on the window frame, sitting without the magic feet.

Does not move a lot of air
Also, does not oscillate. It is quieter than round fan.
