yup, I 2nd the company Vornado Fans. I have 4 Vornado fans that I use in various rooms in the house during the summer. 3 of them are the 280SS model & one is an elcheapo mini fan model for a much smaller room like a bathroom. Awesome fans esp. the 280SS model which I managed to get when the production was "Made in USA". The Chinese made fans don't come close in build quality nor durability.
A Great US Company
There's a lot of talk here about companies with good (and not so good)service. I just want to give a shout out to Vornado Fans. I've owned one for several years and it developed a noise at low speed. I e-mailed the company and was informed that it was guaranteed for life and all I had to do was send it to the company, no receipt necessary. About 2 weeks later, it arrived at my door in like-new condition - no return shipping charge and a 20% off coupon on my next Vornado purchase. There are still companies that do it the old-fashioned way. First-rate products and lifetime free service. Makes me proud.
