Quote from PurpleBreakfast596 :
And more expensive to build a capable small sized motor with additional speed settings, voltage, sound management, parts, etc. It likely didn't make sense to add speed settings to the current model because of minimal amount of change between them wouldn't add value and cost more. In general, this is why cheap things don't have more features, requiring you to purchase the next model up. 🌈 "the more you naur" 🇦🇺
Having more than two speeds on a $25 fan it not asking too much.

They would have sold a lot more of these units if they had more than just two settings at $25.

I think people don't realize that Vornado isn't the same company it was like a decade ago (give or take - I'm not looking it up.)

The company that offered lifetime warranties is no longer. They closed up shop and the name was sold to an investment group. That is the company running things now (and making the fans.)

One thing they did to reduce costs was to eliminate all of the (expensive) infinitely adjustable resistors and changed the fans to only have a few fixed speeds.

So, while I have a Vornado fan from 20 years ago or so, it's not at all the same product you'd get now.

Makes sense I have a few of the lifetime warranty ones that still work like a champ

I have an adjustable knob version of their larger fan, and a fan of the same make from several years later which has 3 speeds, and they are both great. Obviously the knob is better, but there's no apparent quality difference in the fans themselves.

I have a couple plastic Vornado fans that have lasted 10+ years and show no signs of quitting.
Yeah that's when Vornado made good fans. The ones now don't last. I have a few and it doesn't hold it's tilt and slowly flops over lol. Cheap junk now.

also the ones from 10y ago was USA made.

The adjustable settings fans are still available. I just bought one a few months ago. They are listed as energy efficient models & are definitely more expensive.

It's utility is in being small and relatively cheap, I don't believe they would have sold that many more fans with more speeds.

Totally disagree with that. I have one from maybe 10 years ago, another from 5 years ago or so, and bought a third last year, and there's no obvious difference in quality between them. The 5 year old one isn't showing any signs of slowing down, and the new one seems just as sturdy as the others. Obviously everyone has a different experience, but acting like they're just universally selling garbage now is wrong. These are still great fans, in my experience.

Vornado makes long lasting fans. Just keep in mind this one is tiny.
