So I was pretty skeptical of this thing but we cranked one on in the office at the end of our row and I could feel the cool air from 2 cubes down. I'm not buying one since I have the AC on all the time because Texas, but it worked surprisingly well if you want a powerful little fan.
Yeah. If I were going to buy a fan, I'd go for this. I have AC and a Vornado smaller than this one that does one heck of a job moving air. These are powerful little buggers.
Late last night I just bought a similarly priced Lasko fan from that Amazathon place, then this shows up. What an amazing flashback-feeling to the old deal-a-day site, where they posted things you just recently purchased elsewhere...
I have 2 Vornado fans (mid & large) and I really like them. Strangely enough just today I decided I needed a small (4"-ish) sized fan for my desk & found a nice one on AZ (not a Vornado). Interesting timing. I might have been tempted if it were sooner & smaller.
Was I the only person who googled "Trilby" to see what kind of hat it was ? Below isn't a "leather Trilby w/ a green parrot feather" but it's much more fun.
$10 or $15, probably. $40? No way. It's a fan, it doesn't oscarlate....err...aussielate....err..move back and forth. and it costs too much. I agree, sounds more like "selljunkfortoomuchazon.woot.yuck" and not meh.com.
But whadda do I know? (I'll save you the typing: not much!)
The spouse bought 2 of these (Large and medium) a few years ago. The large has been relegated to the garage because it is too powerful and blows stuff off of tables.
Vornado is absolutely the best brand of fans or air circulators. I have one at work and two more at home. Absolutely worth the money, they move a LOT more air than your average $15-20 fan, and a lot quieter, too. Try one before you knock the price. This is a good deal. I feel bad hitting the "meh" button, but gotta keep the steak alive!
I was ready to ask if Meh had a drive thru because I'm damn tired of my cat bastards waking me before my alarm, but my fan is already on the way. Sweet!

$40? Meh! Too expensive.
Was just about to type this. I'd pay $20 for it?
I will offer you $10 for one.
oooh, i like this game. how about $64.92?
Your negotiating kung fu is strong. $8.93
c'mon, $64.92 is $0.07 off list price
I'll let it go for $55 and throw in a jar of Nutella, final offer.
$13 and a sticker that says meh. More final offer.
Alright guys, you drive a hard bargain, but I'm a fair man.. let's meet in the middle and call it $15
If this was two for Tuesday I would buy one-- which would be two -- for this price. Maybe think about that if you can't get rid of them now.
I actually bought this same fan for $10 from a senior graduating from my school. It's certainly worth $10
It was $50 on woot recently
That's right. 49.99. Here's the link: http://home.woot.com/offers/vornado-610b-whole-room-air-circulator
Yeah? I didn't buy it there, either.
That is awesome.
Wow this deal really fucking blows...
get it?
solid fan joke right there.
yeah, i'm a fan of this joke
k3nd0...nice O face...
Fan jokes are the best jokes.
I don't like the joke, so blow me.
There aren't many fan jokes circulating the internet
This is a cool fan.
I think Meh may be trying to counter the Korean influx by selling items that may contribute to fan death.
@curtise No fear in Korea -- deal recently posted: http://www.ppomppu.co.kr/zboard/view.php?id=ppomppu4&no=42286 ::::: 어서오세요!
Whoa, that's crazy. Like Korea crazy.
I love the google-translated Korean comments, "Screamed one wants to free the bolt face"
What size/dia. is the fan?
do you mean diaMEHter?
So I was pretty skeptical of this thing but we cranked one on in the office at the end of our row and I could feel the cool air from 2 cubes down. I'm not buying one since I have the AC on all the time because Texas, but it worked surprisingly well if you want a powerful little fan.
Is this some positive salesmanship? What's going on here? Where am I?
I don't mind being positive here. the fan ruled. completely changed the air flow and temperature.
You're on the verge of convincing me, but am I disqualified because I live in TX?
Would've been a more impressive story if you were 222 cubes away. Then again, where the hell would that be?
No way. Get it because you live in Texas. @JonT is just backwards and guano loco.
@denboy probably on a forklift somewhere.
We missed an opportunity to photograph my flowing locks with the fan before the haircut.
It is tempting. Throw in the Nutella and it's a deal.
You guys do crank the a/c crazy cold back there, even for Texas.
Yeah. If I were going to buy a fan, I'd go for this. I have AC and a Vornado smaller than this one that does one heck of a job moving air. These are powerful little buggers.
Not a fan of this deal.. ;)
It's an alright deal though, seriously. But I couldn't miss the opportunity to be the very 5th guy to make a fan joke.
@chops were you busting our.. chops?!
OH YOU'VE GOT TO BE KIDDING ME.
Late last night I just bought a similarly priced Lasko fan from that Amazathon place, then this shows up. What an amazing flashback-feeling to the old deal-a-day site, where they posted things you just recently purchased elsewhere...
I bought a Lasko -- the kind on a stand-- a week or two ago. They didn't move their company out of the US. You can brag about that.
If I wanted a fan this is the one I'd get. Vornado fans make Katrina look like a much smaller and less devastating tropical storm.
Too soon

Hmm... successfully parted $40 from me ($45, actually). Thanks Obama!
Oh yeah - the Correct Horse Battery Staple method to order numbering is brilliant.
Glad you like it! I think the closest you can get is something like Honest-Energized-Horse and I hope you get it someday.
" meh... I bought the one from woot 11 days ago... sheesh."
ORDER DETAILS
Woot says thank you for your order
Hey unixrab,
Thanks for your purchase!
Order Date: July 9, 2014
Order Number: #492
Subtotal (1) $49.99
Shipping $5.00
Total $54.99
That doesn't look like an order number
yeah... I cut off the rest of it... don't want all you mediocre hackers messing with me
Can you refuse delivery ? Probably not, but it sounds like a helpful idea.
unixrab, you need to contact me someday to let me know what you've been doing. Haven't heard from you in a while.
@cagee I unboxed it a few days ago
@cengland0 wha? I comment on your FB stuff every once in awhile... I still work for that same company you and I did years ago ;-)
I've always been a bigger fan of the blower style fans, especially for around this price.
Was I the only person who googled "Trilby" to see what kind of hat it was ?
Below isn't a "leather Trilby w/ a green parrot feather" but it's much more fun.
Was I the only one who read that as Vornado 610B Whore Room Air Circulator?
I mean...it'd probably be useful in such a room.
My purchase will depend entirely on how hot and miserable I am in the next 20 hours. Curse you, AC-less apartment.
can i use ac 220v ?
Yous should be able to use it on 220v using a step-up transformer, but the blade speed will likely be slower due to 50 cycles vs. 60.
Meh. You finally motivated me to tap a screen. Trying on "mediocre" as an alternative to apathetic.
Am I back on Amazonw00t !!?? Geez, Walt.........Meh, NOT woot !!
$10 or $15, probably. $40? No way. It's a fan, it doesn't oscarlate....err...aussielate....err..move back and forth. and it costs too much. I agree, sounds more like "selljunkfortoomuchazon.woot.yuck" and not meh.com.
But whadda do I know? (I'll save you the typing: not much!)
I have a vornado now and can tell you it's better than a standard cheap fan you get from Walmart. Worth the extra money.
You've clearly never used a vornado. They're awesome.
agree with @cengland0 vornado are the only fans we have now... fantastic
And made in the USA...
The spouse bought 2 of these (Large and medium) a few years ago. The large has been relegated to the garage because it is too powerful and blows stuff off of tables.
Don't forget this thing is made in the USA. It might be a collectors item one day.
I have one. Pretty good on a desk (read blowing directly into your face)
Damn you Meh, I hate needing you.
soggy-madly-reindeer
Looks good, but does it buffet? I heard Dysons didn't buffet.
I don't care, actually. Just made that because I love the word buffet. Buffet buffet buffet buffet buffet buffet buffet buffet buffet buffet
Speaking of buffet, has anyone been to that Tokyo One buffet in Addison? I just learned about it and I am definitely going this week.
I used to go to Tokyo One quite frequently, and it was fantastic. Last time I went, though, it seemed something had changed, and I was sad.
@pwinn Thanks! Can you expand on what exactly was different?
@k3nd0 It seems like both the selection and the quality just weren't up to what I remembered. It had been a while since I'd visited, though.
Vornado is absolutely the best brand of fans or air circulators. I have one at work and two more at home. Absolutely worth the money, they move a LOT more air than your average $15-20 fan, and a lot quieter, too. Try one before you knock the price. This is a good deal. I feel bad hitting the "meh" button, but gotta keep the steak alive!
If your steak is alive it's not cooked enough.
streak ...doh!
Does it work with a mac ?
ducks and runs
Put a Mac in front of the fan on a table, Mac did not move. Conclusion: no
Flawed experiment: table friction is an unnecessary variable. Mac must be airborne.
Sold less than 100. That is awfully meh-diocre. Someone's gonna get a promotion out of this one...
Joke's on you, over 100 now! Eh…it's probably still on us.
I was ready to ask if Meh had a drive thru because I'm damn tired of my cat bastards waking me before my alarm, but my fan is already on the way. Sweet!
