Stout hearted workhorse

The stage is where I discovered Vornado fans. I worked as a stagehand in a local theater, and saw a Vornado fan being used by a production company putting on a performance at our venue. I asked the tech about it, and he gave it a glowing review. It was the slightly larger fan than the 530, and was used for about an hour during the performance. At my home, I used a room with a baseboard heater, which was plenty powerful, but caused the room to be very uneven in temperature. I had tried several fans, but none were able to stand up to continuous 24/7 operation. Then, I bought my first Vornado 530. It ran all the time, almost never being turned off, except to be cleaned. Usually, I used it on the low setting, as the room was only about 130 square feet, and it was very quiet, nearly inaudible if soft music were playing. This fan has a swivel base that allows it to be pointed anywhere between nearly straight up and horizontal, allowing cool air to be pushed from the floor to the ceiling. After about 13 years of continuous operation, I have retired that fan to cooling duties, where I can run it at higher speeds. I replaced it with another Vorado 530, which is purring behind me as I write this. After seeing fans quit after only a few months of operation, and having to put up with noise and vibration from cheap fans, I am convinced that the Vornado 530 is a superior product, capable of circulating the air in a good sized room quietly and efficiently. A must for evening out temperatures and keeping cool! This is an industrial-grade product, with a powerful motor, very concentrated air flow, and durability. I have never seen a consumer-product air-moving device as good as the Vornado, Even on the 'low' setting, the air movement is noticeable across the room, making warm days endurable, and cold nights comfortable. If you heat with a wood- or pellet-stove, a baseboard heater, or an oil-filled radiator, air circulation is essential.

Northern California Air Conditioner.

My small Vornado Circulator has been one of my best purchases of the year. After using cheap fans for years (most homes on SF peninsula are not air-conditioned) to get by the few weeks of hot weather here (with little or no results), I decided to purchase the slightly more expensive Vornado. What a huge difference! This compact (and pretty good looking unit), is extremely powerful and really moves the air. I now have 3 in my home, and sent a fourth off with my daughter to college. We also use in the winter to keep the heat/temp consistent in the whole room. Great product. Thank you!

I have owned my 530 for several years now and it is still working like the day I bought it! It doesn't take up much space and is virtually silent! I love the swirled grill design and I love how air comes out in a spiral pattern! When I put a regular commercial fan next to it, the little Vornado moves more air than my commercial fan does! Don't be fooled by its size, it moves maximum air! I love my 530!

This is a powerful fan and a great buy to own. This fan is truly a whole room air circulator and it is very powerful. It is not noisy, takes up little space and is a great buy. I am looking forward to cherishing it for many years to come. Although it has been suggested, at times I do not even turn my AC on and I live quite comfortably with the air that this fan circulates around me in my apartment.

Awesome little fan, and so powerful!

Use this fan every summer. Best when across the room, running on low, and pointed right at you (I kick back on the recliner couch)! Also works fantastic on med or high and pointed at the ceiling at an angle (as designed). Just purchased a personal portable fan for the desk at the office. Can't wait! We always take the Vornado Humidors to Mammoth in the summer. Awesome.

Circulation function terrific

I bought 2 Vornado (model 530 & 630) in Apr 2011 in HK, the prices are much higher than US; however, the circulation function is terrific, it fills up my bedroom & living/dinning room with breeze. This product suits the temperature (usually humid) in HK. If the product has a timer as well as remote control, it will be perfect.

I've owned many Vornado fans over the years and this one might be favorite. It's small, quiet and is very powerful for its size. I would recommend it to anyone!
