The Vornado 533 compact Air Circulator uses signature Vortex Action to move air up to 21.5m², providing whole room air circulation. The energy efficient technology evens the room temperature, by eliminating hot and cold spots. Despite it’s small size, the 533 is more powerful than a 45cm commercial fan. Its compact size makes it ideal for use in an office, children’s bedroom, study or cubical. Maintaining the 533 is simple with a detachable grill that provides easy access to the blades for cleaning. Unlike typical fans, a Vornado creates whole room circulation using an airflow phenomenon called “Vortex Action.” An inlet guide cone directs air to the most efficient portion of the blades. In turn, the wide, heavily contoured blades churn the air into motion. The air then travels through a duct which sculpts the air into a column shape. As the air exits the Air Circulator, Vornado’s AirTensity Grill straightens the airflow to ensure the air travels long distances. The airflow column will spin and twirl to the opposite corner hitting the wall where it will split of and recirculate to the centre of the room.
