Just a warning, the pivots are poor quality. Had a couple that have issues and make terrible noises. The room circulators are great though (haven't tried the tower though).
At least their warranty is still great.
For the life of me I don't understand why they make SO many variations of similar models. I mean they literally have hundreds of different models when they could fulfil market need with several dozen, keeping costs down, parts chain smaller and quality control higher.
Warning. I bought the Vick's humidifier and Holmes pedestal electric fan from them when they were posted at the same time this was posted, the humidifier was obviously used, smelled mildew, carton obviously damaged with moisture the fan had about an inch crack on the area where the motor is. I was refunded for both but it was completely a waste of time to buy Assemble at return

PiVOT = garbage doesn't do much. Might keep your eye or lips cool. Worth $5 IMO
TOWER = it's ok, blows a little but not that good. Worth $20 IMO.
WHOLE Small Fan = good for small room, low setting does nothing but high is good Worth $30 IMO
So get the Whole Small Fan if you need something, overall nothing like Vornado used to be 10-20 years ago!
SELLER is fine, I ordered stuff from him before, everything came looking brand new and worked great! Box looked little beat up or retaped but products
looked clean and new in packages.

I have like 6 different vornados in my home (3 whole room, 2 pivots, one desk fan). All purchased 2-4 years ago. They all work great for their intended purposes, move air effectively, and are less noisy than any fan.
I have had a 2 of the vornados start to act up (weird sounds or not working correctly). The warranty is super easy and they just send you a new vornado.
I agree that in general, the whole room fans are where it shines the best. The pivots are more so a strong desk or partial room fan. I would not recommend them for the purpose of moving air in a regular sized room.

Warning... I got a fan from this seller last time. It was advertised as new and sealed. It was shipped open box and the fan was making weird noises and had hair in it so it was obviously USED.
