Product Properties

Overview of the Vornado NGT425

The Vornado NGT425 air circulator tower fan is an air circulator (and not just a fan – quite an important piece of information) that functions with versa-flow adjustable airflow technology. The technology is instrumental in creating different ranges of airflow, from a wide span to a direct line of airflow, which consequently leaves the tower fan with an unnecessary need for oscillation as this modern tower fan can continuously push a high volume of air throughout the room.

Furthermore, the NGT425 tower circulator features five-speed levels, touch-sensitive controls (which can also be remote-controlled), 1-8 hour auto-off timer (which is energy-saving), air inlet grill (that is easy to clean), and a 5-year guarantee (conditions apply).

Features of the Vornado NGT425

Now, let’s get detailed about the aforementioned features of this tower fan:

Adjustable Airflow

To enjoy the airflow from a typical tower fan, you have to be in its airflow path; otherwise, you’re not going to be as cool, implying that you have to adjust the direction the tower fan is facing each time you change position. However, Vornado solves that problem with its unique Versa-Flow adjustable airflow technology.

How so?

It propels air in a unique cone-shaped airflow pattern as far as 100 feet into the room, which constantly circulates air throughout the room space. So, irrespective of your position in the room, you will feel its effect as though you’re directly in front of the fan.

Typical tower fans use oscillation to manage the said challenge but it doesn’t particularly solve it because the whole room doesn’t get the airflow at a particular point in time. But Vornado impresses with its technology, giving air to the whole room at every point in time, thereby zeroing the need for oscillation.

You may be wondering at this juncture, what if I don’t want air in the whole room at a given point in time? With Vornado NGT425, you are in control; you can adjust the airflow direction (up to 45 degrees) by using the Versa-Flow adjustment dial situated on top of the unit. This setting will cause the air outlets to either narrow or widen to suit you.

Operation

For a tower circulator that confidently boasts as one of the most powerful tower fans on the market, it features a simple operation, which is a significant plus. I mean, who wants to endure the technical sophistication of using a fan! Vornado is a tower fan with remote control, which also features onboard touch-sensitive controls (situated on top of the unit) with which you can operate it.

Other features you can enjoy in its simple operation are the fan speed, onboard timer, and indicator lights. You can choose from any of the 5 speeds it offers to meet your need; you can time it to automatically turn off between 1 and 8 hours. The indicator lights are meant to display the current fan speed and timer status.

Quiet fan

Tower fans are usually either powerful or quiet. What manufacturers often do is try to design a balance between the two features, and one might argue that Vornado did accomplish the right balance with NGT425. Its airflow rating is at 604 CFM and 300 CFM on the high and low respectively. So, power is not an issue; it’s probably the most powerful tower fan. Typically, in such powerful fans, the downside is the noise but Vornado managed to keep that under wrap in this particular design.

So, you have a quiet tower fan with a remote that can be easily opted for as the most appropriate choice for large areas, such as family rooms.

FAQs

What kind of maintenance does Vornado NGT425 require?
