Why it's buy-it-for-life
One redditor reports running three of these fans continuously for about 15 years, with only occasional teardown, cleaning, and reassembly needed to keep them going.
What owners say
Several commenters in a later thread reaffirm Vornado's reputation: one owner of a 530 DC air circulator cites a year of reliable use and the brand's general reputation, and another gives a brief thumbs-up to Vornado fans overall. One longtime bedside-fan user kept a Vornado circulator as a backup after their previous fan died, but found its noise character just didn't sound right for their preference.

I have been keeping three desk sized Vernado fans going in my house for about 15 years with the occasional teardown, clean out and reassembly.
