I've owned these fans for about 10yrs, the 953 primarily and a few smaller ones. I've only had one fail however, it was subject to drywall dust and moisture. This fan is Made in the USA and the craftsmanship is very different than the 953, the plastic housing density is thicker and the motor itself appears more precision and heavier duty than the 953. The metal stand has a good feel meaning, not thin metal. The fan must be attached to the stand, IHMO they should do this at the factory. The power cord is a three prong end and the cord itself is a thicker gauge than the 953. The airflow between the two models is comparable and the fan noise is about the same.
I will be purchasing the 293 over the 953 in the future, the main reason is Made in the USA and the motor. As noted, i've own the 953 for years and these fans run 24x7 in my house and i've only had one fail so, i'm hoping the 293 gives me the same reliable service.

Actually, I have 2 of these fans. First and foremost, it has saved me a lot of time from having to use the air conditioner after dark. And it has really helped keep my electricity usage way down. Early on this past summer, I went to my brothers' beach house in Galveston for 3 days This worked very well when the air conditioning went out in the beach house.

I bought 3 of these fans 15 years ago and they are all still working great! I just bought 2 more because of the exceptional quality and the new green color. I use them to help with the summer heat.

I bought 2 vornados They are solid, and stylish looking. You can see the quality and have great power for the size, which I really like. I found a personal/ desk fan from Vornado. I am a fan, of these fans.

We had mold problems from poor air circulation in a room with vaulted ceiling. The fans are compact and super powerful and have been running nonstop for 2 weeks solving our airflow problem. Now just waiting on the super hot weather to go away

I bought this fan to replace my old shop fan and it’s been great. Better then I expected. So impressed with the fan I bought for my house. Big thing for me made in the USA

The size of the fan seemed small…until it’s plugged in and generating a powerful cooling breeze. With temps 105 +, we were looking for something to help inside and in the workshop when it’s not blazing hot! Great fan!

This fan provides a powerful air flow which is why I've always liked good Vornado fans. Not all models meet my needs--but this one is worth the price. To reduce A/C & electric bill costs is what I want and this one delivers.
