Vornado693DC Energy Smart Mid-Size Air Circulator Fan with Variable Speed Control and Adjustable Height, White

The media could not be loaded. I recently purchased the Vornado Circulating Fan and I have been extremely impressed with its performance. Several pros make this fan stand out from others in the market.Firstly, the fan can circulate a large amount of air in a room without blowing it in a concentrated direction. This is perfect for those who want to cool down a room without feeling a strong gust of air on them. Additionally, the fan is very energy efficient, using only 60W at maximum power and less than 5W at the lowest power. This is a huge plus for me as I always try to be mindful of my energy consumption.Another pro of this fan is its sleek and modern design. The white finish blends well with my home decor and it does not look out of place. I also appreciate how lightweight and easy it is to transport around the house, making it convenient to use in any room. The fan is also well-built and sturdy, ensuring that it will last for years to come.However, there are a few cons to note. The fan can be quite noisy at maximum speed. However, I have found that it quickly drops to a lower sound level when not on max speed. Additionally, while the fan is great for circulating air, it does not blow a concentrated gust in one direction like a blower fan. Lastly, the price of this fan may be a bit steep for some at $165 + tax. There are other Vornado fans with similar performance at a lower cost.In conclusion, I purchased this fan specifically for its great air circulation and energy efficiency. The noise level is not a concern for me as it only runs for an hour at a time. The stylish design and energy efficiency were my top priorities and this fan has exceeded my expectations. I have been a fan of Vornado for years and this fan has only solidified my trust in their brand. I would highly recommend this fan to others, especially if energy efficiency is a priority.

Ceiling fans are great. They are often all you need for a comfortable night's sleep and even when you do need to kick on the A/C they can reduce your need for it. But you can't necessarily put a ceiling fan everywhere you might want one.This is basically the next best thing. You put it in a corner, aim it at the ceiling and bam, you have the air circulating in even a very large room in much the same way as if you had a ceiling fan.I have this in a very large, 30 x 20 room and it does a good job creating a nice even air circulation throughout the entire room. The other thing I will use it for is to quickly cool down after I come in from working outside in the heat. If you point it at yourself directly it will cool you down quickly. But normally this thing is pushing so much air you don't really want it pointed directly at you.It is very well built, I've used it now for several years, pretty regularly all summer long and it has held up just fine.Only downsides: it is a bit noisier than a good quality ceiling fan because the blades are much smaller while pushing an equivalent amount of air, and I wish it were easier to take apart and clean. I wouldn't say the noise is a deal-breaker, but I typically run it on medium and not high.

This review is for the Vornado 783DC full size floor fan. Like all Vornado fans, this one is powerful. No remote control and it doesn't oscillate but it tilts. The fan itself is 12". It has a variable speed dial and is reasonably quiet up to half speed. If you work from home, then 3/4 to full speed are too loud for Teams meetings. It's unusually short for a floor fan, 36" from the floor to the top of the fan housing and 22" from the floor to the bottom of the fan. I wouldn't consider the height "adjustable". It comes in 3 pieces and you can elect not to insert the center 12" tube. The metal tubing is held together by heavy duty bolts and is very sturdy and easy to assemble. It's pricey but I bought this model for the energy efficiency...we'll see how that works out when I get the June power bill. The 10 year warranty was also a big factor. I live in California's Central Valley and the fans stay on 24/7 from April/May through Oct/Nov...not exaggerating. Fingers crossed this model saves on the power bill. I have 3 Vornado fans ranging in age from 2 to 4 years old and they all work like new. As long as Vornado maintains their quality, then I won't even consider another brand.

I don't have central AC. I have a unit in my kitchen wall (only place I could put it) and the air needs to be moved into the rest of the house so I had a big pedestal fan that had these 4 feet and sat on the kitchen floor in the summer. I was constantly tripping over the feet & had to catch the fan before it fell over... ROYAL Pain (literally)!!This fan doesn't oscillate BUT it moves air & is imperceptible on the lower speeds. Even on the higher speeds it is WAY quieter than the old one was on its lower speed. I can actually put it up on my countertop under the AC unit & it pushes the air out into the rest of the house. The base is big BUT it is stable & I can work around it easily. MUCH better than the old fan. YAY team!!!

Only flaw is huge noise

Excelente, potente y silencioso

El control de velocidad tiene un amplio rango pero la primera mitad del control no sirve para nada. En realidad se modula de la mitad para arriba. Tiene un falso contacto con el convertidor de corriente, se ve que es error de diseño. Los pros son que hace menos ruido que otros y dispara bien el aire.

Thanks KFH for answering my question about the fan warranty covering Canadian customers. Because it was a couple of years ago that your refund was processed, I decided to verify directly with Vornado Customer Support that they still issue refunds to Canadian customers within the warranty period. Customer Support contacted me the following day and confirmed they do issue a refund for the cost of the fan, but not for the tax or shipping. I was most impressed with Vornado Customer Service and promptly ordered the Vornado 693DC fan.

I'm going to sound like a shill, but I'm very firmly in the Vornado camp. This is now my fourth Vornado fan-- not because any of them broke down, but to add to more rooms. Every Vornado fan I have have kept an area far cooler than any other fan I've tried, and the motors haven't broken down like many less expensive products.This one is no exception. On max it feels like you're in a wind tunnel, but not quite as loud. On lower settings, it's practically whisper quiet. The stand isn't my favourite; the base is shaped in a way that makes it awkward to position in a corner, and it isn't quite as high as I was expecting (I imagined it would be close to a lamp stand in height, but it's about half that).This is probably the best you can get without shelling out and making space for an air conditioner. If you live in a tiny apartment like me, this is really the best you can get.
