- Are you thinking about
buying a Vortex fan,
and you're looking at the
reviews of Vortex fans
here on YouTube?
I've got this one right here
that I figured I'd tell
you guys about today,
kind of give you guys my experience
and my opinion on it.
First of all, hi.
Hi to all the new dads out
there, this is Dad Reviews.
This is where I give you my unedited,
hopefully more authentic
look at the products
that I like, use, and have.
So if you're interested in that,
you might want to consider

So it's summer time, it's hot out there,
you want to get the air
circulation in the house,
and you don't want to have to
run your air conditioner as much.
These Vortex fans,
this one's made by a
company called Vornado,
they're great because they can really help
to circulate the air in a large room.
So uh, first of all what I
like to do on Dad Reviews,
let's see how long this
cord is right here,
because especially with a fan,
I like fans to have a
decent sized length cord,
because usually you kind
of move it around the room,
and how many of you guys
have an extension cord
plugged up to your fan right now?
Especially if you take a fan outside,
always need an extension cord.
So this one right here,
you all know how we do
cords here on Dad Reviews,
I'd say it, let's see that's uh
that's a six inch cord, uh
six foot cord right there.
That's actually a pretty good length,
it probably could use I'd
say maybe an extra two inch
uh two feet would be nice on there.
Just to give you a little
bit of extra reach,
maybe to get all the way across the room
or almost across the room.
I'd say most rooms, you know,
10 by 10, 12 by 12, something like that.
So just to give you a couple
extra feet there would be nice.
But what I love about this fan
is the power that this thing can drive.
Another thing that I like about it,
I'm about to turn it on for you guys too,
but another thing that I
really like about this fan
is since it's a full room fan
to circulate all the air in the room,
this thing actually tilts all the way up
so that you can pick up
some of this cool air
that's on the ground,
it's going to suction,
suck it up through the fan,
and then it'll disperse it out of the fan
and hopefully alleviating
some of the hot temperatures,
or hot air in the room
that's mainly toward your ceiling.
If you all don't know, if you don't know,
heat rises, so a lot of
your hot air is up there so
and your cool air is on the bottom,
so if you have your fan in this position,
you can get some good
suction of that cold air
and kind of force it up
to be more at the level of
what a standing human would be.
If you guys want to check this thing out,
Imma link it up down in
the description below.
You all go read other
peoples' reviews about it,
don't just take my word for it,
I'm one guy just giving you my experience
with this particular fan.
There are three different,
sorry I guess four
different settings on here,
one of 'em being off,
and then there's like a
super high, high, and medium,
I don't know exactly what it is.
But let me go ahead and
turn it on for you guys
so you guys can hear the fan in action,
because it's actually,
since it has that vortex
and it's got a lot of power to it,
it's actually makes a little bit of noise,
but it's like a nice white noise
it doesn't jitter, jitter,
it does not like uh
doesn't move, it doesn't
rattle which is really nice.
And one reason for the
keeping the rattle out
is because it's actually
got a decent stand on it.
This has a five braced stand,
and each brace is double braced.
Now, it is plastic, so it's not
you know, a metal one or anything,
but because it's double
braced, I used to be a drummer,
I used to play drums a long time ago.
And whenever you looked
at drums cymbal stands,
you wanted the double braced ones
because you know that
that's not going to make
your cymbal fall over.
Same kind of thing going
on with the fan here too.
So I really like the base of this thing
where they double braced everything.
All right, so we got it plugged in now.
(fan starting up)
Think I accidentally turned it on.
Let's see, I'm going
to point it at you guys
so you guys can really see
it, and you can hear it
as the wind blows into
the cameras microphone.
So this is off obviously.
(fan blowing into the microphone)
High.
This is medium.
And this is low.
So low is just like a nice, gentle
I guess let me do it like this
so you guys can hear me.
Low is like a nice gentle
breeze kind of thing,
if you just kind of want
like something soft,
not like gusting at you.
I'd say medium is kind of
more like what a normal fan
room fan would be, like a regular
you know, Lasko box fan
or something like that.
But it's the high that really gets you.
I don't know if you all can
see, I got gel in my hair,
so I don't know if you all can
see the movement of my hair.
I'll put this thing on high,
look you can probably
see it in my shirt a bit.
I mean it's, it's really doing a good job
pushing that air on me,
and so I really really like this fan.
If you get, you're going to like it too
if you like those gust kind of uh
kind of winds at you, and that's,
my favorite type of air
is like a hot with a wind.
So if like I'm outside on a hot day,
if the wind's blowing, I am great.
But if its cold that sucks.
Another feature about this, obviously,
you can bring it up and down.
I've actually never really taken off,
oh it takes the cord with it too.
Okay, so it only goes up this much.
It's not a very tall fan.
If you guys kind of get
an idea, I'm six foot tall
and it goes up to my torso,
which probably makes
it about a three foot,
maybe four foot fan.
But one thing that I
just noticed about this,
'cause honestly I always
leave it on the ground level
because I want that cold
air being sucked up,
whenever you lengthen it,
it takes away from some of your cord here
because your cord obviously
has to go travel up this tube
and all the way to the motor.
So whenever
(fan starting up)
Woops, turned it on.
So whenever you
whenever you bring it
to its tallest position,
you're actually losing that
much cord, however much that is,
probably about eight
inches to a foot maybe.
So that's that's
another reason why I would like the cord
to be just a tad bit longer.
But like I said, if you guys
want to check this fan out,
great fan, especially if you want to get,
if you have a large room,
and you really want to
circulate the air in the room,
I can definitely recommend that.
Great for pulling that cold air up.
Imma link this thing up
like I said, down in
the description below.
Go read other peoples' reviews about it,
don't just take my word for it.
Like I said, I'm just one
guy giving my experience.
But if you guys are looking
for other standing fans,
I've actually reviewed a couple of 'em
here on the channel before,
I'll put those right there on the screen.
You guys can click those videos,
I'll see ya on those videos.
Thank you dads for watching.
Let me know if you use a fan
at home, and what kind you use.
That thumbs up is always
appreciated, and dad out.
