FEATURES and BENEFITS
Circulate All Over the Room
A Vornado circulates all the air in the room so everyone is
comfortable. Air in motion feels cooler than air that is stagnant.
By providing whole room circulation, a Vornado allows you to
turn the thermostat up without sacrificing comfort.
Inlet Guide Cones direct air to the most efficient
parts of the propeller blades.
Deep-pitched propeller blades “bite” off and
circulates more air.
Dual injector cones and powerful blades cause
the air leaving to spiral - allowing it to travel
farther than typical fans.
For fully flexible performance, Vornado gives you
as much or as little air as you desire. VFANJR
features two speeds, VFAN & VFANSR, VFANSRP
(VFAN SR Pedestal) models feature three speeds.
Direct the airflow with the touch of your fingers
with the easy-to-adjust head.
All moving parts are enclosed for safety
and silence.
Fully adjustable stand that adjusts from 42” to 55”
in height.
