Quick warranty overview

Vornado provides a limited warranty that covers defects in materials and workmanship for a set period after purchase. Both air circulators and heaters share the same basic claim process, but the exact coverage length varies by product line.

Understanding your Vornado warranty helps you avoid surprise repair costs and ensures you get the most out of your investment. This FAQ breaks down the essential terms so you can act confidently if a problem arises.

All Vornado products come with a warranty card that details the coverage period, what components are included, and the steps to file a service claim. Keep the card and your proof of purchase in a safe place.

Coverage period

Most Vornado air circulators are covered for two years from the date of purchase, while many of the larger vintage models extend to three years. Heaters typically carry a two‑year warranty as well, but premium models may offer longer protection.

The warranty period begins on the original purchase date, not the date you register the product. If you buy a unit as a gift, the clock still starts when the retailer sells it, so keep the receipt handy.

  • Check the warranty card inside the box for the exact number of months.
  • Register online to receive email reminders before your coverage expires.

What’s covered

The warranty covers defects in materials and workmanship, which includes motor failure, faulty circuitry, and structural issues that affect performance. Cosmetic wear, accidental damage, or misuse are not covered.

Accessories such as remote controls or clip attachments are covered only if they fail due to a manufacturing defect. Consumables like filters for air purifiers are excluded.

  • Motor or fan blade malfunction → full repair or replacement.
  • Electrical component failure → covered if not caused by external power surge.

Service claim process

To start a claim, locate your warranty card, gather the original receipt, and fill out the online claim form on Vornado’s support site. You’ll receive a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number and shipping instructions.

Ship the product in its original packaging, if possible, and include the RMA number on the outside of the box. Once Vornado receives the item, they’ll inspect it and either repair, replace, or issue a refund according to the warranty terms.

  • Save the tracking number for your shipment.
  • Allow up to 10 business days for the inspection and resolution.
