Extremely disappointed

We purchased the large Vornado Tower Fan not even a year ago, and it just stop working. It won't turn on at all. For the price we bought it for, it should last a lot longer. What a disappointment.
Pros: Adjustable, Good Power Output, Stable Base
Cons: Loud
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Failed in One Week
on August 29, 2016

I initially loved this fan. It was quiet, circulated air very well, and made my bedroom comfortable on warm evenings. Unfortunately, it failed completely in a week. I turned it on, the blades moved slightly and it stopped. Nothing but a him after that. I ended up returning it to the retailer I bought it from. I would have exchanged it, but many other reviewers had a similar experience. Overall, this is the only Vornado product I would avoid. I have two Vornado heaters and a 733 air circulator and they're all wonderful. Far superior to anything else on the market. I will continue to be a loyal customer.
Pros: Attractive, Circulates Air Well, Quiet, Range of Speeds
Cons: Not Durable
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Disappointed

We were excited for the compact size and good air flow as our daughter moved into a dorm without air conditioning. She is on the top floor, so she needs good air flow. She returned to her room on the third evening and tha vornado will not turn on!! Very disappointed. She tried multiple outlets and nothing worked.
Pros: Adjustable, Compact, Good Power Output, Quiet

Very disappointed in Vornado 533 air circulator
on September 4, 2017
Posted by: Pam
from San Diego, California
I bought this last summer to use in my bedroom on hot nights in the summer. I live in San Diego so it doesn't get a lot of use. This summer, so one year later, it kept slowing down and then would just stop. I would turn it off for a while and it usually came back on. Today it completely stopped working. I have never had a fan stop working g in such a short time. Most of our fans last several years.
Pros: Lightweight, Quiet
Cons: Unstable
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Bring back the older models

I have had many (over 5) Vornado fans and have always been extremely happy with them. My most recent fan has NOT lived up to that experience. It is much noisier and the quality is just not the same. While it does work and is probably competitve with other companies products, it has been a huge disappointment.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

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.
I would recommend this to a friend!
