Vornado 733B High-Velocity Whole-Room 3-Speed Air Circulator, Black

First time vornado owner

I LOVE this unit! It's called an air circulator and sure enough it does that - but it's short-changing the product as a fan too since it's far stronger and effective than most box fans I've ever owned (even when the box fans are on high speed) - I have no idea what people are complaining about with regards to the *noise* - apparently they have never owned a box fan or stand fans or have forgotten the often high-pitched whirring noise they emanate - the vornado sounds no higher than an a/c unit when on full blast and quickly blends into background noise when you sleep. Even our 2 usually skittish cats walk around it and sleep only 10 feet away when it is on its highest setting! We live in a 4 room basement apartment and already it has lowered the temp by at least 5 degrees (its breeze reaches the furthest corner of the 2nd room it is directed towards)- we find keeping it in the straight ahead position on the floor in the same room as the a/c the most effective thus far but we've only owned it for 2 days and haven't experimented with a cross-draft effect near a window yet. It is light weight, sooo easy to carry and its compact design makes it truly portable. We bought a simple bathroom rug to place it on which has proven effective in reducing additional vibration noise on a vinyl floor. Already have advised family and friends to get one (2 are in the process of buying one as I write this).

Vornado 733 B

I recently purchased the Vornado 733 B High-Velocity 3 speed fan for our upstairs to circulate the air upstairs. I am very pleased with the overall function of the fan. It is much quieter than I'd hoped and really moves the air. I will be purchasing another for downstairs. I was afraid the 733 would be too large but it is perfect for the larger area I was covering. I've purchased a lot of fans over the years and this by far is one of the best!

Now Made of Cheap Plastic

I've used Vornado fans for decades. So, since my one of my large 700 series fans started having issues starting up (it'd just sit there until shaken, then spin), I ordered this. I was shocked, after opening the box, to find this fan made of flimsy plastic. I'd prefer to pay more and have a decently made fan, not something resembling a toy. I guess items are going to continue to be made lighter and lighter (saving on tanker fuel to get from China to the US), until everything will be light as paper. Then we'll get to watch our new fans fly around the room, due to lack of weight. :-0 Its body is larger than my old 700 series, taking up a larger footprint. It is better in that it is designed to sit in its three positions without falling back onto its old default position, like my old fan does. Thus the 3 stars.

Good little fan

Good fan, but a bit noisy on higher speeds. Only having 3 fixed angles to the base is a bit limiting. Overall I am happy with it.

Very nice piece of equipment

The Vornado is a very neat fan (or air circulator to be more precise). If you use it as a fan (direct blowing at lowest setting), it is very quiet, and as an air circulator (set at medium speed) it is still not too loud and can be quite powerful. I did have some problems setting it up for maximum performance. It is supposed to have uninterrupted space between itself and a wall and it can be quite a challenge in a small apartment like mine. However after setting up it permitted me to raise the AC temperature a few degrees higher with no impact on comfort. I would have to see my electricity bill to say whether the purchase was worth it in terms of electricty savings. The one thing that is kind of annoying is the speed dial, which is hard to reach.
