Vornado 533DC Energy Smart DC Air Circulator Small Fan - White

This is much better then a traditional fan and takes up far less space. Just be aware if you put this up to full power it can get quite loud but if you have it on 3/4 then it's fine also at night if you have it on low settling you won't hear anything. It does circulate the air around the room better then a fan does. Highly recommend it. Brought this at Christmas time at David Jones department store in Australia. Also if you have big room your better off getting the larger size 633DC as the one I have is the 533DC.

Amazing!

This fan has a ton of power for its size. You can easily adjust the direction of airflow. You can even point it straight up. Regarding ease of adjusting the direction, it’s perfect; not too difficult and not loose at all. The variable speed is an outstanding feature, as it allows you to precisely select the fan speed to your preference. This is my first Vornado but not my last. I’ll definitely be buying another Vornado for my next fan.

Excellent little fan

I live in a small (app. 400 ft^2), unventilated studio apartment with one window and have been surprised by how efficiently this fan moves air, even at slower speeds. It has done wonders to keep the air inside my apartment fresh. I've not yet had the opportunity to test it in the summer heat, but I have no doubt that it will perform well. By far the best feature of this fan is its variable speed. At night I sleep with it on at low speed and when I am cleaning and need to freshen the room or dry laundry indoors, I open the window and front door and let it blast for a couple hours. I hope and expect that this product will perform well over time at nearly constant use, because I definitely see myself using it constantly!

Great Little Desk Fan

I needed a relatively small fan on my desk while I worked on my computer. This fan is super quiet and I really like the smooth and infinitely adjustable speed knob. It's much better than fans with 3 fixed speed settings. Some times I like just a whisper of air movement and it's easy with this fan, the low setting on other fans I've had were never low enough. But on high, this fan is still quiet but really moves the air. So far, I'm totally happy with this little work horse of a fan. Only somewhat negative, was it's a little high on the price.

It was surprisingly powerful & quiet at the same time!

Normally I am a very harsh critic of almost all things. Testing this product has been a rare exception, as it has been nothing short of impressive since I first turned it on. First, it's compact design and very light weight, make it easy to move and place almost anywhere it is needed. The real standout features of this product are in its' power and sound dampening abilities. I was especially "blown away" by the amount of wind speed/cooling power such a small machine could generate. If you're not careful, turning the dial past the halfway mark could leave your dining room table covered in the morning newspaper instead of breakfast! At the same time, this fan remains almost silent up to the halfway mark. It only becomes "loud" when it is generating what seem like ... MoreNormally I am a very harsh critic of almost all things.

At the same time, this fan remains almost silent up to the halfway mark. It only becomes "loud" when it is generating what seem like hurricane-force winds. The one minor drawback that I identified was the lack of ability to oscillate. Although the frame does have a horizontal axis that can tip the fan up/down, it would be perfect if it could somehow incorporate the ability to oscillate as well. Other than that, this is a product that is very impressive, and I feel that the average consumer would feel the same way. I would absolutely recommend this to my friends, and am very happy to have one! Thank You!

Love It!

I want to just say thanks for the invitation and opportunity of sampling/owning the Vornado 533DC Energy Smart Air Circulator. I did not know about this product prior to participating with this program. I have a ceiling and tower fan in my room, but this air circulator has them both beat! It is small and compact and that is a bonus for portability as I would definitely be taking it with me on trips or whatever the occasion calls for. I can't say the same for my tower fan which is very tall, bulky, and not as light weight. Another great thing I enjoy with this product is that it is quiet on the lower speeds, but as the speed increases so does the sound, but it is still not bad; my tower fan on the other hand is ridiculously loud no matter what setting it set on.

I even see myself using this more than my ceiling fan as well because although the ceiling fan's speed can be adjusted, it still isn't anywhere close to being powerful and effective as Vornado Energy Smart Air Circulator. Also, another thing that I like is that because it is so small, light and portable I have many options of placing it practically anywhere and on any piece of furniture that I choose to. Another added feature that I absolutely love is that it can be tilted to certain angles up/down for the desired position I want. I definitely would recommend to friends and family!

Powerful small fan we love you!

Love this Top of the Line Fan!! You CAN'T go wrong with Voronado! We use this in our bedroom, fairly med/large bedroom. It BLOWs!!! Perfect knob for speed control and it can be adjusted to blow at different angles. Moreover, I love that it comes with a 10 year warranty. This is an amazing fan, I will be purchasing another one. Fairly easy to clean, but I can't figure out how to take apart to clean the fan. This is a powerful fan. It can flow at a quiet speed, or blow at the highest speed which is loud, but we like loud it helps us sleep.

Vornado 533DCWHT fan

We've had various small 7 or 8 inch Vornado fans and they've always worked well, but one of them finally wore out. It had a continuously variable speed dial that we really liked. The newer ones though seem to have push-button speed controls. The Vornado 533DCWHT, however has an interesting zero to full-speed dial-control circuit. Also the mount configuration makes it very stable.

great fan

This is the mini version. I bought this for my mom who stays over at my house anyway from a week to a month. This was perfect for a small guest room. I love that you can adjust the power as much as you want and not simply have three settings. I can also adjust the angle as well. fantastic. My husband thought it was too expensive at first but now loves this fan as well. We are using the room currently for a server so it needs cooling. Again great fan, uses very little electricity.

hard to believe how effective

My son lives with me and runs hot. I run cold. If he could have a year round indoor temperature of 60 degrees, he'd be happy. I prefer 72, with no drafts thank you very much.This small Vornado is just the thing. Diffuses the air blast so that I am not cold and drafty - and provides him with enough breeze for comfort. P.S. - he uses the larger version for his large studio room.
