4-0 out of 5 stars Nice little fan
I love this fan! I've had several of them, over the years, which I've used extensively.
My only problem with the fan is that the clip breaks easily, so if you plan on moving it often, be aware that the plastic clamp on the bottom will eventually crack.
On the other hand -- I have one, on which the clip broke quite some time ago, that I've clamped to a shelf by other means, and after more than eight years of daily use the motor is still going strong.
The front is easy enough to take off for cleaning purposes, just take care not to dislodge the motor while cleaning the fan blades, or it won't run properly afteward.
All in all -- a great little fan. I couldn't live without mine! Just take care in how you handle it, and it will last you for years.

3-0 out of 5 stars Nice, Until It Broke
This was a great fan. It cliped onto anything and supplied a great cooling breeze. I bought the small white one for some of my co-workers in a local resturaunt kitchen. But the dishwashers were wreckless with it, and oh yeah, they busted the hell out of it. I got mad and told them you have to be careful with that stuff. They did the same thing to a larger Windmere fan I gave to them last summer. They said the blade broke off and smoke came out of the back of it. Yeah Right. I've owned many of fans and that's never happened to me. People just need to know that you have to be careful with fans. They're very delicate and you can get hurt. ... Read more

Amazon.com Review

Quiet, stylish, and built of durable plastic, this big device circulates air throughout the largest rooms at home or at the office. Use it alone or with an air conditioner to cool down in the summer and to circulate heat evenly throughout a room in winter. Its powerful 112-watt motor combines with a deep-pitch propeller and a cunning grill design to move air in a tight beam up to 75 feet. For moving air up or down a stairwell or circulating air from floor to ceiling, the head pivots from an angle slightly below horizontal to straight up. It has an infinitely variable speed control, from low through high. The circulator stands 16 inches high, has a 15-1/2-inch-diameter head, weighs 12 pounds, and carries a lifetime warranty against defects. --Fred Brack ... Read more

5-0 out of 5 stars Vornado is the only brand I'll ever buy!
I wanted to comment on some of the reviews that mention that this fan is not "whisper quiet" as described by Vornado. The actual description states that the motor is whisper quiet and it is. The only "noise" from this unit is from the huge amount of air that is being pulled through it and "vortexed" across the room when set on the higher speeds. The motor itself makes virtually no noise as described and when set to lower speeds, this fan is very quiet.

I'm sure you can tell by most of the reviews here that this fan is simnply the best you can buy for the price. I also have the smaller, compact version in my bedroom and it's been running strong a couple hours a day for over 8 years. If you've never had a Vornado fan before, try one and I promise you'll never go back to "flat blades" again.

5-0 out of 5 stars Quiet and efficient
This is a quality product (and you pay for it) that works really well. I bought one for myself a few years ago, and I use it in my home office while on concalls. The variable control is much better than pre-sets installed on other fans. It's quiet and efficient. Plus, if you set the fan across the room, you can tune the air currents to your liking.

The fan does not vibrate at all, and it does not seem to run hot. I bought one as a gift last XMAS for someone who hates air conditioning. I was worried if she let a fan run all day and night it might set a fire. The fan runs quiet and cool. I felt so confident, that I bought the smaller version for the top of my toddler's dresser to help mix the air a bit.

The peace of mind is worth the price.

5-0 out of 5 stars I love this thing!
I bought this item at a local warehouse club for a great price. I've been using it for just over a week and it is by far the most effective fan I've ever had. Right now, I also have a huge box fan and 3 regular ol' oscillating fans, and none of these moves air like the Vornado. We have a 50's house with no AC (save the rooms that have window units), and it gets nearly unbearable in the summer, especially upstairs. Last week, with a few days in the 90's, I used the Vornado in front of an open window to try and bring in the cooler night air. It circulated the air so well that I ended up sleeping under my down comforter. So I've got to give this fan 5 stars for helping me sleep sweat-free at night.

No, it's not whisper quiet, but realistically, noise is inevitable from a motor that's moving a large volume of air efficiently. My box fan sounds like it's getting ready for lift-off on even the lowest setting, and it doesn't work half as well as my wonderful new Vornado. However if silence, rather than air circulation, is the priority, this is not the fan to consider.

5-0 out of 5 stars super fan!!!!!!
My life long love affair with fans go way back. I suffered with insomnia in my teens and learnt I would sleep when a fan was blowing on me. I run a fan year round (thought I was the only one, but find there are others out there!). My sinuses do not close up, and the white noise makes me sleep so peaceful. However, I need a "softer" fan for my work area. One that give plenty of air current, but since I am writing with papers about me and books, I needed one that was not a hurricane. This one is a pleasing quiet fan, good are current, but can be near silent. In Summer it makes any room cooler, in winter makes the room warmer. I am very pleased with this fan and its excellent warranty.

5-0 out of 5 stars Suggestion from a NJ Teacher
If you are a teacher working in a classroom that is not airconditioned, I highly recommend the Vornado 750B air circulator. I've put it on top of a filing cabinet in one corner and faced it at the opposite (farthest) corner above the heads of my high school students. No arguments about who is getting the most benefit from the fan because we can all feel the air moving around the room. We use it all year round, not just when it's warm. Even at its highest setting you can still be heard in the back of the classroom. It's sturdy and easy to wipe clean of the everpresent chalk dust. I also have a 610 in my bedroom at home to lower the costs of air conditioning. I recommend Vornado to anyone I hear complaining about energy bills or the comfort level of their home or workplace. No one has been disappointed. ... Read more

2-0 out of 5 stars Bad reception even over short distance
I helped my brother-in-law install this into my nephews nursery. Even though the transmitter and the receiver are only about 10 feet apart and only going through the floor the picture has lines constantly going through it. We worked on it for over an hour, but we can't get a good clean image. We determined that a lot of it was caused by 2.4ghz wireless telephones. Which is the same frequency this camera runs off of. However it seems that many other pieces of electronic equipment also cause interference. Cell phones, radios, etc.... I would not recommend this to someone living in an apartment or townhome like my brother in law. Maybe if you didn't have to worry about interference coming in from your neighbors it would give a better picture once you shut down the interference from equipment in your own home. As for the night vision it is actually low light vision. It works great as long as there is some small light source such as a night light. In a completely black room you cannot see anything.

4-0 out of 5 stars Great quality CCTV camera
My son set the camera up in the baby's room. It functions as designed. Very easy to set-up. Good sound and visual quality. Minor concern is.. How can we order additional camera's?

1-0 out of 5 stars Hunk of junk
This system has so many problems it's just not worth it. The IR illuminator does no good unless it's a couple feet from what you're looking at. Beyond two feet, my night vision is much much better than that of this camera. When the night vision does work, it's so grainy that it's hard to tell if I'm looking at my daughter or a pillow in her bed. The picture you get flickers white a lot, when the screen is otherwise almost completely black. (My wife didn't realize we had a lightning storm going on at one point, due to the severity of the flickering and flashing.) This system interferes with multiple wireless utilities we have in the house -- our wireless LAN and phones are completely incapacitated when the carma system is active. Who did they bribe at the FCC to get this approved? Also, when we turn on our microwave, the camera system malfunctions and gives no picture. Yuck!

5-0 out of 5 stars Great Product
I Love this product. Works great and very clear picture. Found add on camears on e-bay. works well in low light or bright light only thing thats missing is color anyway buy this product if you don't like it return it with in 90 days with your receipt to your local Target store or the online center. But you won't need to !!

Amazon.com

This space-age-styled humidifier will quietly disperse cool moisture to a room, small home, or apartment of 1,700 square feet. Easy-to-fill water reservoirs on either side of the unit output about 10 gallons of water per day, enabling the humidifier to run up to 36 hours without requiring refilling. You can manually set the Galileo from the unit’s control panel, or program it to operate automatically. The Climate Center is unique in that it has a remote humidistat that is constantly communicating with the main unit to ensure that all areas of the room within a 30-foot radius maintain the desired moisture level. Other humidifiers tend to have built-in humidistats that only increase the moisture level directly around the unit. The remote control’s backlit digital display indicates both current, and desired room humidity--even when the humidifier is turned off. The remote control is angled for easy reading while resting on a tabletop, and also fits neatly into a storage spot on the humidifier. A child safety lock prevents little ones from operating the wireless climate center unsupervised, and an indicator light tells you when batteries are getting low. Dual air filters remove airborne particles from indoor spaces, while a filter monitor lets you know when the wick needs replacing. For healthier operation, a built-in Microban microbial product discourages the growth of bacteria, mold, and mildew within the humidifier. Rolling casters glide the humidifier from room to room to supply direct humidity to a particular space. Measuring 14-1/4 inches long, 28-3/4 inches wide, and 21 inches high, this model is covered by Bionaire under a two-year warranty. --Cristina Vaamonde ... Read more

3-0 out of 5 stars poor wick filter
I've found that I'm going through two filters a month because the tops of them dry out and reduce the effectiveness of the humidifier. I've resorted to using filtered water and even that doesn't help much. When the filters are working the humidifier works wonderfully but in the long run it's becoming a very expensive machine. If it wasn't for the wicks I would say it is an excellent machine but with this problem I can't recommend it.

2-0 out of 5 stars Poorly built for the price
This humidifier definitely worked well, but it's so poorly designed and built that the plastic panels rattle at any fan speed. I bought two of these and both had the exact same problems with rattling panels. Both were subsequently returned. Which is a shame, because when it doesn't rattle, it performs admirably. The tanks are easy to fill if you unscrew the caps (instead of using their weird twist-and-fill valves). The remote is a nice feature to help ensure your get desired humidity in an certain area (although by no means a necessity). But for the price, this thing is really a piece of junk.

4-0 out of 5 stars Remote humidity sensor makes the difference
First of all, the complaints--there were only 3 thumbscrews, instead of 4, holding the filter unit to the bottom tank, and a screwcap on one of the tanks was backwards, and needed to be switched around. Also, the remote is supposed to work in the same room, but it didn't when it was placed on a bookcase. I moved it to another part of the room, and set it upright, and it has worked like a charm. The filter indicator is a bit flaky--sometimes it says the filter needs changing, and sometimes it doesn't. I haven't figured that one out yet, though I did buy extra humidifer wicks.

And the praise--once I figured out that the screwcap was backwards, and that the remote humidistat prefers to be upright (or not on a bookcase), it has worked like a charm! It will cycle on and off as needed. The high fan setting is a bit loud, but the medium and low are fine. It is set up in our living room, so the noise doesn't bother us while sleeping. It has enough output to pleasantly humidify our house (1300 sq. ft. main level). My dogs can now roll around on the carpet and not get shocked. I really like the feature of the intake air filters, so I don't have to run an air cleaner in addition to the humidifier. The unit has been running a month now, and I haven't had to change the filter. I do add an anti-microbial to the water tanks when I fill them up.

1-0 out of 5 stars Way too noisy!
Even on the low or medium settings this humidifier sounds like there is a jet engine in my living room.

2-0 out of 5 stars Too noisy
The only improvement over the previous Bionare console model W6 is that the containers are easier to fill. This humidifier is so noisy that it interferes with normal speech. I returned it to the store thinking it might be defective, but the replacement was just as noisy. This time it was returned permanently. ... Read more

1-0 out of 5 stars Great idea, poor quality, lack of customer service
I purchased this (Slant Fin GF200) warm mist humidifier with the idea of "germ free" in mind. The idea of having a germ free humidifier is great! The UV bulb killing bacteria, and the mineral pad absorbing any minerals work well (as far as I know).

I have owned this unit for approximately a month. I thought buying distilled water would be too expensive. So, I purchased extra mineral pads expecting hard water to be an issue. Anticipating the worst, I was prepared. Let me tell you, this unit reauires lots of "love" or maintenance (if you want to get down and dirty). I cleaned the unit (resevoir in particular) frequently, every 5-7 days. I replaced the mineral pads when needed, usually at cleaning time (again, 5-7 days). Scale buildup was terrible -- even with the frequent cleanings! After alot of elbow grease or grunt work (and vinegar), I got things cleaned in about 20-30 minutes.

Then, I started to notice the coating (stainless steel) on the reservoir flaking off and rusting. First it was one spot, then it was 3-4 spots. This, IMHO, is poor quality! I am currently trying to get the product returned for repair, even though I strongly believe that it would happen again. After paying close to $100 for the humidifier and extra mineral pads, I would have expected better quality for Slant-Fin!

In conclusion: If you have hard water, avoid this humidifier. The mineral pads help with hard water, but they can't take all of the minerals out of your water, to prevent the scale buildup. Unless you replace the pads every other day. If you use distilled water, you may have better results, but you pay the extra for the "pure" mineral-free water.

Pros: great idea/concept, humidifies well, simple, quiet.

Cons: poor quality, expensive, needs lots of maintenance, scale buildup, purchasing extra mineral pads and/or UV bulbs.

Update: The company has failed to reply to email for warranty service. My next step is the Better Business Bureau. Stay away from this company!!!

2-0 out of 5 stars Former (very loyal) Slant Fin Customer -- a big problem
I usually do not write reviews here. However, because of my experience with ALL of the Slant Fin humidifiers that I have purchased over the past 4 years (GF200 and GF300), I wanted to let others know that there are issues with the products.

GOOD: Humidification: The output is not great and is not suitable for large open rooms. For enclosed rooms like bedrooms or playrooms, they work very well. The plus is the warmth of the moisture (this is essentially a boiling pot). Occasionally, gurgling aside (from boiling), they are quiet.

GOOD?: "Bacteria free" operation: UV lights and boiling supposedly make the products "virtually bacteria free," always a good thing.

NOW BAD: Cleaning and maintenance: Our water is neither hard nor soft (Lake Michigan water in Chicago suburbs). The mineral buildup/scaling is very substantial on plastic and metal parts and very hard to clean. Given that they need to be cleaned every week or so, it is very time-consuming.

NOW REALLY BAD: All of the Slant Fin humidifiers that I have owned had problems with water level sensors. The electrodes (2 each in GF 300) get corroded and rust away after 1 or 2 years (usually shortly after the expiration of warranty). The two probes (spaced about an 1/2 inch), when dipped in water, apparently transmit/receive a very low voltage electricity, completing a control circuit and indicating there is water in the tank. If they don't transmit electricity (i.e., no water in the tank), the boiling pot turns itself off.

The problem is that the metal probes get corroded and get covered with rust/corrosion. Because they don't transmit/receive electricity, even if there is plenty of water in the unit, the unit shuts itself off. Initially, you can scrape the corrosion/mineral buildup on the metal probes with your finger nails. Eventually, the metal probes/electrodes literally rust away. That literally renders the entire unit inoperable and, thus, worthless.

NOW THE ABSOLUTE WORST: "Customer Service": I have sent emails, written letters and left voice mail messages. I asked whether I could buy the probes or send the units back for service. I have NEVER received any response.

It is also very hard to get any live person. When I did get a person at the "customer service" department, that person claimed that she did not work in that department and transferred me to the "right" department, sending me into the voice mail maze hell, only to get disconnected after 10 minutes.

OVERALL ASSESSMENT: The product works well, as intended, for about a year or two. The promise of "bacteria free operation" and warm moisture made me forget about the extremely burdensome cleaning. I recommended these products to all of my friends and relatives in the first year of operation, accounting for as many as 20+ units. Given that a large majority of them are having the same problems as my units, I think this is a serious design defect that Slant Fin is refusing to address. I am sorry that I bought and recommended these units.

Thus, given what appears to be a serious design flaw (re water-level probes) coupled with the worst customer service I have ever experienced for a consumer product, I can no longer recommend any Slant Fin humidifiers.

4-0 out of 5 stars Great, Quiet humidifier
We own two of these humidifiers and they have both worked great. They have been in our kids rooms for over a year and other than replacing the UV bulb and filters, they've given us no problem. I actually decided to get a different humidifier for myself because this one was too quiet and I wanted some background noise. I just wish it was digital to make the humididy level more precise.

1-0 out of 5 stars too noisy
I read a good review of this humidifier. I thought I would be getting a better product than the standard store selections. The sound of gurgling water is unbearable! We had it going all night and in the morning there was no mist coming out at all. I'll take any cheap humidifier that is quiet and works. I don't care about this unit killing germs. I'd rather sleep--after I return it.

1-0 out of 5 stars Too Noisy
I have had many humifiers over the years. While I cannot complain about this unit's ability to adequately saturate a room I found the noise level to be unbearable at night. The greatest problem is the inconsistent level of the noise, sometimes it is quiet and at other time (usually when the unit is heating water) it is very loud. My sleep was negatively impacted by this (relatively expensive) unit and this was unacceptable so I returned it and started researching other units. Definitely not worth the money. ... Read more

2-0 out of 5 stars Don't waste your money!
For those of you familar with the original Patton U21403 14" fan will be very disappointed. I bought 2 of the new model and was extremely disapointed.. Its a very load fan (sounds like a cessna taxing down a runway) .. the constructions is much cheaper than original.. fan blades are half as thick and very flimsy.. Speed selection is very limited.. there isn't much difference between high and low..Original u21403 was near dead silent at low speed.. the new model is loud at all speeds. I attribute the problem to a cheap High rpm motor rather than the high torque low rpm motor used in the old model. ... Read more

1-0 out of 5 stars Poor construction and quality
I purchased this fan from Amazon several months ago and it is already in the garbage. The assembly is very easy and only requires a few moments and a phillips screwdriver. Unfortunately the plastic is very flimsy and thin and does not inspire confidence in the overall quality. The fan operated very well initially and the remote control was intuitive and easy to operate. Within a few weeks, however, the fan was making high pitched squealing sounds (imagine an old fan belt on a cold winter morning). I tried all the different speeds and settings, turing off the oscillation, positioning the fan on different surfaces, etc. Nothing fixed the problem.

I've never considered myself a high-maintenance consumer, but this purchase was very disappointing. I'd recommend one of the other brands or models, though many of the oscillating tower fans seem to have this same complaint. I have had good luck with Holmes products in the past (although this model carries the Bionaire tag), but I'd like to prevent other customers from the trouble I experienced with this model. Hope this helps.

5-0 out of 5 stars Amazing
Who would have thought of the technology innovations that could be applied to fans? This model requires some assembly - and you'll need to pay careful attention to the directions, which is a large folded page. Read the instructions, look carefully at the pieces, and the assembly will take less than five minutes. All you'll need is a screw driver.

The fan itself it a remarkable piece of technology, made all the more remarkable by the fact that it comes with a remote control at such a low price.

When you first operate it you'll think something's wrong because it will oscillate, stop and seem to shut down, then pick up again. This is normal, and after you get used to it you will discover that this behavior was designed to move air in the most efficient manner - both from an efficient use of electricity, and from an effective pattern for moving air and keeping you cool.

The on-fan and remote controls are easy to operate and give you a great deal of control over speed, oscillation, and even timing its turn-on time. Considering the price, performance and wealth of features this is one of the best bargains you'll find - and worth any price on a humid, hot Florida night when you are enjoying fresh air on your patio. ...

5-0 out of 5 stars Now I get a good nights sleep
With 2 teenage boys who use the garage door as the main entry in the house, I now know when they get home and that the door was closed behind them. Great product, easy to install.

1-0 out of 5 stars Disappointed
This item is not dependable. I needed a device that worked as this one is described however after numerous false readings over 2 days it became clear that this item is not effective. Save you money and manually check to see if the door is open, this item is sure to disappoint.

1-0 out of 5 stars Quality Control Problems
Seems like a simple enough device, but the unit shipped to me simply does not work. I played with it for a half hour going thoroughly through the instruction manual, checking the battery voltages, etc, but the transmitter would never register with the receiver. Oh well, buyer beware.

5-0 out of 5 stars never leave a garage door open by mistake again
This product works great, very easy to install, just apply the adhesive backed sensor on your door, then plug the wall unit in your kitchen or some other room.

I bought two sets but had some problems synchronizing each door to the right receiver. Hmm. ... Read more

2-0 out of 5 stars Works well but brakes often
I have bought this humidifier ... twice. It works well, but with proper maintainence the electronic control panel broke. I sent it back to the company and got a brand new one in return. I used it in the same manner, and now the new one's control pannel is not working. I would suggest finding another humidifier.

5-0 out of 5 stars (OWNED 4 YEARS) Best Humidifier I've ever owned!!
We have been using this humidifier for over three(now 4) years.

I'll go through all others complaints.

1. Broken handle.All humidifiers are built a little flimsy; just be careful! Ours has never broken.When full don't be tough with the handles. This isn't a pickup truck people!!

2. Won't humidify room. This is not a whole house unit.We have used it regularly in bedrooms and small apartments and considering the size it works very well.If you have forced air do not leave the fan on continuoisly (although we do occasionally) and close the door to your bedroom. When the heat kicks in; ours turns on and recovers the humidity in the room easily.

3. Leaks.There is a built in resevoir area for leaking. Ours over three years has only done this a few times and never enough to actually leak on the floor or outside the machine.
If your unit leaks all the time use hot water.Cold water will expand on the machine as it heats a little; forcing extra water out.Hot water will cool and shrink as it sits on the machine.

4. Not accuate.You got me? Ours has been perfect.

5. Rotted seal. Duh! When done with the unit; store with cap off of the tank. This will avoid all humidity problems.

6. Hard to clean.All burner humidifiers are hard to clean.I clean ours about once a week.I wash out all the peices by hand and hot water to remove minerals. The burner area itself I usually use hot water and my fingers to loosen up the minerals. I don't think this is too bad.I leave some minerals on the burner itself to avoid damage but who cares?I've only used vinegar at the end of the seasons. We do however have soft water.

I hope this helps people. We've used ours every evening and night in Minnesota. We've never had any problems.It even heats up the room a little which the misses likes a great deal.

(...)

The seal below the burner started leaking into the machine.
This caused the machine to do some strange things.
So, I dried it out; and cleaned the inside of the machine.
It ends up that the single screw that holds the burner and seal down on machine came loose. This might explain all the problems with leaking and such others have had. Worked great since then.

Looks like we'll get another year out of it!!!

2-0 out of 5 stars Needs improvement
This worked well for one season then leaked water everywhere. The water shorted out the controls - was lucky there wasn't a fire. It never worked the same again. I gave it two stars because when it did work, it kept the humidity at a comfortable level. If I buy a digital humidifier, I'd look for one with the controls anywhere but under the water supply.

2-0 out of 5 stars Great potential, but had many flaws
We are currently on our second of this same model and we have had numerous problems with them both. While this vaporizer did work well over a short period of time it does have a few serious problems. First it's difficult to clean and often get's neglected, the large carrying handle on the bottom of the tank breaks off every time after about a year of use, the digital controls start malfunctioning about the same time as the broken handle making the unit completely useless or leaves it doing strange things and displaying weird characters, they leak water into the controls causing it to short out with loud internal sparks. We love this unit if only it would keep working for more than a year!

1-0 out of 5 stars Watch out if you own this
This thing got burnt the other day.
Cooked!!I got lucky it just left the hole in my carpet, but it could burnt the whole house.By the way, it was working fine for last couple winters.I will never buy the warm mist humidifier again.... period!! ... Read more
