VFAN Sr. Pedestal Vintage Air Circulator

Perhaps the most versatile — and definitely the tallest — of the VFAN family is the VFAN Sr. Pedestal, which provides comfortable, whole-room air circulation via our signature Vortex Action, along with durable metal construction and our authentic, classic design. Combined with three speed settings, a full action pivot head for multidirectional airflow and a stand that adjusts 42” to 55” in height, the VFAN Sr. Pedestal is ideal for getting the air flowing in any room in your home.

Timeless Design And Iconic Performance

Experience Vornado’s exclusive features that assure performance never before possible! That was the mantra of the original Vornadofan. Today, the VFAN Sr. Pedestal utilizes the same principles for performance, which are second to none except maybe the original.


VFAN Sr. Pedestal Features

Features include 3 speed settings, adjustable height from 42 to 55 inches, a full action pivot head for multi-directional airflow and a 5-year limited warranty. Style. Class. Performance. VFAN Sr. Pedestal - Expected experience from Vornado.

Complex And Yet Simple

We took the time to understand and improve complex circulation and aerodynamic challenges so that you can simply enjoy the comfort. Inlet Guide Cones direct air to the most efficient parts of the propeller blades. Deep-pitched propeller blades bite off and circulate more air. Duel injector cones and powerful blades cause the air leaving to spiral - allowing it to travel farther than typical fans. For fully flexible performance, Vornado gives you as much or as little air as you desire. Direct the airflow with the touch of your fingers with the easy-to-adjust head. All moving parts are enclosed inside the metal construction for safety and silence.

5 Year Warranty And Premium Support

We’re so confident about the quality of the VFAN that we’ve backed it with an industry-leading 5-year warranty. You can rest assured that your VFAN will perform for years to come.

And quality products demand premium support. Vornado’s unrivaled support team is committed to your satisfaction. We’re here to help — long after your purchase.

It really works!
5 out of 5 stars
It really works!
Here’s how things went. I unboxed it, set it up in my office and then was immediately bummed because the direct stream of air only seemed to go a few feet out. I was thinking, “ugh it doesn’t push enough air!” Lo & behold that my understanding of this product was incorrect!The way this product works is not like a conventional fan. Some of you may already know this, so ignore my review, but for those who a. didn’t research ahead of time b. expect this to function like a classic fan, please read on.After letting it run for just a few minutes, I noticed the room measurably becoming cooler. I stepped out of the room and then walked back in a few mins later and literally could feel cool air moving throughout the room as I walked back in.Shame on me for not researching more ahead of time, but the power of this incredible fan is that it moves air all around the room and gives you more of a comfortable, breezy feeling as opposed to a straight shot of air where you may get too cold over time. This is the perfect balance of cool and airflow!Cherry on top is the classic look that fits right into a built-in of my historic home :)

Moving air is what makes a space an even temperature. This air circulator gets the job done with zero issues, and looks great (if it fits your style) doing it.

This is definitely a vintage feel, straight out of the box useable, very streamlined era style but packed with modern design elements that blend that style with pure performance. Only two speeds is ok because the power matches the size in a great way.

The tilt is all you have, and it doesn't have any bells and whistles like smart home or a remote control for adjusting the speeds without getting up, but for the lack of that it makes a huge difference in the room and is very quiet and out of the way.

Trust Vornado design to move as much air as a larger unit, and make up for adjustable or oscillating units with smart energy efficient designs that do what it's supposed to do.

I LOVE the Vornado brand because they consistently deliver a high quality fan and this lil one is perfect!
The low level is quiet and powerful especially considering the size.
It’s solid and built very well.
The design is so cool and understated that it won’t distract from whatever your personal style might be.
I seriously don’t understand why people complain about the color?! The color is exactly spot on and it’s gorgeous. It is not a crisp blue bright white, it is “vintage” white which is basically a light cream color. Stop leaving bad reviews because you don’t know your whites.
Also, for those who have issues with the on off dial on the back… really?! *sigh
This lil guy is perfect and in the heat of summer the second setting will be more than enough to cool a big-small room.
The price Is great considering it’s metal and not plastic. This baby is built to last many years.
I read the reviews before buying and I really didn’t need to consider purchasing this as much as I did.
It’s a solid, great brand, delivers the air flow & the style is perfect.
If you need a remote and want to talk to your fan then this one is obviously not for you.

Love this fan, looks nice, well constructed, and is very quiet for the amount of air it moves.

A couple of years after I bought it, it started developing a noticeable rumbling that I just attributed to some detritus maybe getting struck by the fan blades. Problem turned out to be a worsening bearing, and the fan stopped working altogether after 4.5 years. I submitted a warranty claim (as issue was covered under 5 year warranty) on the Vornado website, and had a brand new replacement in my hands by the end of the week, completely free of charge and with zero hassle or run-around validating my claim.
That experience really speaks volumes about the quality of the product and the integrity of the company behind it, and I'd wholeheartedly recommend these fans to anyone

I actually own three of these fans: the mini, the Sr., and the Sr. Pedestal. All of them are in the off-white color, and they're all great!

I have the mini in my office at work, on my desk. It's a little noisy for a *small* room, but not overly so; no one can hear it in the background on my Zoom calls. It's very powerful for the size, though, and works so much better than other desktop fans--especially the USB ones. I have the Sr. in my guest bedroom at home, and it works perfectly for summertime. It circulates the air well for a medium-sized room. Finally, I have the Sr. Pedestal in my living room/kitchen area. With the pedestal fan, I don't need to run my PTAC machine except during heatwaves. It was lighter weight than expected, but not cheap-feeling at all; it was very easy to assemble.

It's hard to find a fault with these fans, to be honest. They're all very attractive-looking and all work exceptionally well to circulate air! They're all fairly quiet for a mid- or large-sized room, and they're all very well-built. I have left them running for days (weeks!) at a time before without issue. Even though they're significantly more expensive than the "regular", plastic Vornado circulators, I prefer these because they're so much sturdier. They really feel like investment pieces that will last me a long time.

If I had to nit-pick, I'd say that I wish the cords on these were a lighter color instead of black, since the fans, themselves are white. However, that seems like a small thing for a fan I otherwise really enjoy.

It’s on the quiet side, and moves a lot of air.

If it breaks, it’ll be easy to repair, because it’s well designed and made with quality materials.

You can spend half as much and get the same airflow. Or the same aesthetics. But not both. And nothing at half the cost is going to be as sturdy and well built as this.

So is it worth it? Probably, because it’s a good fan with good aesthetics made of mostly metal (not the blades though).

I have other fans that work just as well, but they’re not as quiet. If you want a pedestal fan that doesn’t make a room look trashy, this is it.

5.0 out of 5 stars THE quietest air circulator, but about half the power/airflow of the 660 or Vintage VFAN Sr.
Reviewed in Canada on August 10, 2021
Style: VFANColor: GreenVerified Purchase
ONE YEAR LATER: still in love with every single unit we have purchased. Still running essentially silently, and been operating almost daily for a full year. We now have multiple versions, in all we have purchased 5 Vornado products, absolutely no regrets.

I originally purchased the Vornado 660 room circulator as it is less costly; I love it, so much so that I sent one to my parents, who also love it...but I could not get this one out of my mind. When I went to order yet another, the 660 was out of stock, so I decided to bite the bullet, pay the extra, and ordered this beauty.

OF NOTE: I mistakenly ordered the "medium" version; there is a Jr. that is smaller and a Sr. that is larger; this "medium" one is just called "Vintage", so a bit confusing.

I have absolutely fallen in love with the Vintage line for its looks, versatility and metal construction; so much so that I immediately sent this medium sized air circulator to my parents for their bedroom! They were carting the 660 from the living room to the bedroom where they had to use a book to prop up the 660 so it would blow "down" from their dresser. One advantage of the Vintage VFAN line is that the fan housing fully rotates from pointing straight down to straight up; the 660 only goes from straight ahead to a steep upward angle and does not offer the flexibility that this one does.

Please keep in mind, this is not a fan in the regular sense; it is a room air circulator - it creates a gentle breeze throughout the room, not unlike a ceiling fan, and is the absolute perfect solution if a quality ceiling fan is not an option. IF you want a fan that throws a heavy stream of air at you, then you want a fan, not an air circulator. If you want a fan that will cool the room, with a constant gentle breeze, you have found the right unit.

SOUND: on high it is literally whisper quiet; we did not even have to adjust the TV volume and it sits between us and the TV. On low or med it is utterly silent. Plus the "noise" is constant and steady, with no ebbs and flows, ups or downs; squeaks, squeals or rattles. IF you are seeking a white noise machine, or want it in the bedroom to mask noise, this is NOT the fan for you.

AIRFLOW: suitable for a 200 sq ft room or a 10x20 foot room, and is listed at a CFM (cubic feet per minute) of 295. That is the equivalent of taking a cube that measures 6.5 feet high, 6.5 feet long and 6.5 feet wide and pushing it through this fan, every single minute.

SIZE: The unit stands about 14 inches high, 8 inches deep, and 12 inches wide. The grill area is about 8 inches.

The Vintage VFAN is rated at a lower CFM (295 vs 584) than the 660; and is technically not quieter (57 vs 54 decibels on high). In actuality I find it MUCH quieter, so much so that when they are placed 20 feet apart, I can still hear the 660, when beside the Vintage SR (both on high) but when I move just five feet closer to the 660, I can no longer hear the Vintage. As to air flow, the 660 moves more air - but the next size up, the Vintage Sr. moves more than the 660 (613 vs 584).

COLOR: The green is slightly deeper than is pictured, less of a mint cast, perhaps a nod to avocado, but definitely not nearly as "deep" or yellow a green as avocado.

DIFFERENCES: The 660 is made of plastic (albeit very sturdy plastic), and does not fully rotate; it is also much more economical (although still very pricey), very quiet, has four (soft touch, 1cm buttons) speed settings on the rim and moves twice the air of the medium in the Vintage line, on high. It comes in multiple sizes: 460, 560 and 660.

The Vintage VFAN Line is all metal construction (excluding the blades), fully rotates from face down on the floor to face up to the ceiling; it is quite pricey, super quiet (Sr. 53db, VFAN 57db, Jr. 44db vs 660 at 54 db) and has a mechanical twist knob on the rear that offers two (Jr.) or three (VFAN or Sr.) speeds. The Sr. is technically quieter than the 660, and has a higher CFM at 613; the Jr. has a top CFM of 185.

Now as to looks, I am in love with the vintage look and do prefer it to the 660. In hindsight, I accidentally ordered the medium size, and not the Sr., my bad. So no, it will not push more air than the 660, even though it is around the same cost as the 660. I WILL attest that it is quieter than 660, although that IS contrary to the manufacturers specifications.

Is it pricey, heck yes! Is it lovely to look at, quiet to operate and moves a whack of air, 100%, YES. If you are seeking a silent unit that will create a gentle breeze, cooling an entire room, that is incredibly efficient and beautiful, I highly recommend this unit (and the 660 for that matter), but you have to understand you are paying a high price for high quality.
