The verdict
The Orient Tornado-II is a 450 mm pedestal fan with metal blades and guard, rated at about 100 to 110 CMM and 90 W, ₹4,856 on Flipkart with 4.1 stars from 1,811 ratings. It suits large living rooms, shops and terraces that need a strong breeze; it draws far more power than a BLDC fan and owners call it loud.
Best for
- Large halls, shops, terraces and rooms bigger than about 12 × 15 ft that need a strong throw of air
- Buyers who prefer metal blades and a heavier base over plastic
Skip it if
- You want a quiet bedroom fan; owners mention noise and vibration
- You run a fan all night and care about the power bill; at 90 W it uses more than twice a 35 W BLDC fan
- You want a remote or timer
What we like
- 450 mm metal blades and a powder-coated metal guard (Orient)
- Rated airflow of 100 to 110 CMM, level with Crompton's 125 W Torpedo (105 CMM) and above the other 400 mm fans in our research
- 4.1 stars from 1,811 Flipkart ratings; Orient's store shows 4.6 from 142 reviews
- Thermal overload protection with auto reset and an oil reservoir for the motor (Orient)
What we don’t
- 90 W power draw, more than twice a 35 W BLDC pedestal fan
- Owners report noise and vibration, and one calls it too strong for small rooms
- Airflow figures disagree: 110 CMM on Orient's FAQ, 6,030 m³/h (about 100 CMM) on Flipkart
- One owner says a blade came off the spindle until it was screwed onto the correct flat

In this review
How we researched this
We have not used this fan. Specs, store prices and Orient’s FAQ come from Orient Electric’s Tornado-II page, and the street price, extra specs and ratings from the Flipkart listing and its reviews, read on 12 November 2026. We found no independent hands-on review.
We could not measure airflow, noise or power, and we could not open the Amazon.in listing. Orient’s spec table gives power, weight and size but not air delivery; the 110 CMM figure comes from an FAQ answer on the same page.
What you get on paper
A larger-than-usual 450 mm pedestal fan with three metal blades, a powder-coated metal guard and ring, and a metal base. Orient rates the induction motor at 1,325 RPM and 90 W, says it delivers 110 CMM, and lists thermal overload protection with auto reset and an oil reservoir for smoother long-term running. It has three speeds and no remote.
That 450 mm sweep and metal construction are what separate it from the 400 mm plastic fans in this price range. The cost is power: 90 W is more than twice a 35 W BLDC fan.
What owners report
On Flipkart it has 4.1 stars from 1,811 ratings and 252 reviews: 967 five-star and 168 one-star (about 9%). Orient’s own store shows 4.6 from 142 reviews, with 107 five-star.
Positive Flipkart reviews describe speed “like strom” and easy self-assembly. The most useful one, written after three months, says it is ideal for rooms bigger than 12 × 15 ft and warns that a blade fell off until it was screwed onto the flat part of the spindle. Another owner says the noise is “little bit more” than expected. The negative reviews call the body cheap and mention “heavy noise and vibration”.
Support and warranty
The Flipkart listing title says 2-year warranty. Orient’s spec table for this fan does not state a term, though its Stand 82 page lists 2 years against manufacturing defects. Confirm the warranty card with the seller. We did not test Orient’s service ourselves.
Claims to treat with caution
- Airflow is 110 CMM in Orient’s FAQ and about 100 CMM from Flipkart’s figure, which Flipkart labels in the wrong unit (cfm).
- “Anti dust” in the Flipkart title is not backed by any description in the listings we read.
- Motor speed is 1,325 RPM from Orient and 1,350 RPM in Flipkart’s table.
Should you buy it?
For a large room, a shop or a terrace where you want a strong, wide breeze and a sturdier metal build, the Tornado-II has solid owner ratings and the specs to back it. It is the wrong fan for a small bedroom or for all-night use if you watch your power bill. Assemble the blade carefully, and check the warranty term with your seller.

Questions buyers ask
How much air does the Orient Tornado-II move?
Orient's FAQ says 110 CMM at 1,325 RPM. Flipkart lists 6,030 m³/h, which works out to about 100 CMM. Either is well above typical 400 mm fans like the Orient Stand 82 (90 CMM). We have not measured it.
Is the Tornado-II too strong for a bedroom?
Possibly. One Flipkart owner says it is "not meant for small rooms" and suits rooms bigger than 12 × 15 ft, and others mention noise and vibration. For a small bedroom, a 400 mm BLDC fan uses far less power.
How much electricity does it use?
Orient and Flipkart both list 90 W. Eight hours a day for a month is about 21.6 units (kWh), against about 8.4 units for a 35 W BLDC pedestal fan.
Which colour should I buy?
Orient's store lists black, chrome and gunmetal at different prices (₹4,581 to ₹5,446 on 12 November 2026). The specs are the same, so pick the cheapest finish you like.
