WHOLE ROOM CIRCULATION
The Vornado’s signature Whole Room Circulation delivers continuous, uniform air circulation to the entire room. Cool only the rooms that you
are in and not the entire house.
MAXIMIZE YOUR COOLING EFFICIENCY
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 5°F –
saving energy and money – without sacrificing comfort.

FEATURES
