Unlike an ordinary tower fan, a Vornado tower circulator doesn't just blow air. Instead, it produces true whole-room air circulation using V-Flow Technology, exclusive to Vornado. So rather than feeling the airflow for only seconds at a time with an ordinary fan, you get an even temperature and circulation throughout the room. Typical tower fans oscillate due to a limited range of air movement, so you feel the airflow for only seconds at a time. With V-Flow Circulation, a high volume of air is continuously moving throughout the room, creating quiet, comfortable whole room circulation. The Vornado Tower Circulator features uniquely contoured air outlets that create a wide span of constant airflow, without the need for oscillation. A powerful, yet quiet motor produces higher volume of air movement, 500 CFM, and pushes air up to 100 feet.The 184 Tower Circulator features a sturdy base, an energy saving timer, and 4-speed settings that allow you to tailor the airflow to your needs. The push-button remote control magnetically cradles to the top of the product, so it is always within easy reach. 5 year limited warranty.
