I am not normally a 5-star rater but, here I am. The Vornado 633 Medium fan moves air in a room far better than other fans - especially box fans. It comes fully assembled and ready to plug and cool. I've bought them for home, work and family. They are very dependable, and everyone thoroughly enjoys them.
Our model 210 died of old age (in fan years). We live in a 35' trailer and wanted another Vornado that would keep the air moving with a little less noise. The 633 keeps the air moving in our whole trailer with a smaller footprint. Here in deep south Texas it is hot for almost four months straight and our Vornado is on 24/7. Yep, we love our Vornado. Oh, in the winter months we keep our trailer warm with our Vornado heater. Don't even use the furnace.
Just as terrific as the old one—seems even quieter

Bought recently to supplement the two Vornado fans we have in our living room purchased six years ago and still working fine. This one just now purchased for the bedroom. I am a light sleeper and this is very quiet on low speed and doesn’t wake me up. So far haven’t had to break out our portable AC units (daytime temperatures high 70’s to 80’s; nighttime temperatures high 50’s to 60’s) thanks to these efficient little guys.
I bought this fan three years ago and have ran it basically ever night since I got it while sleeping. The medium setting is just perfect for personal use while sleeping or sitting somewhere in the house to cool off. The high setting has really good flow if you're trying to move some air around no more than a 15 x 15ft space. All in all it's performed very well. That said, it is very very difficult to take the front grill off to clean the thing. The three screws that need removed are very recessed and i was lucky that i have a small electronics screwdriver set, there's no way they can be taken out with a normal screwdriver. And then last week when starting the fan even on high it would catch and buzz and I couldn't get the thing to spin any more. I would let it sit and it would kind of run some nights but not others. I finally decided to disassemble it a bit to see if i could figure out what was going on. It turns out the motor is brush-less which is nice, but the two bearings inside either heated up too much or seized up and then continued to overheat as the shaft spun on the inner race because the greased leaked out of both of them and ran down the inside of the case. So this thing is a dud now, I might try to return it but it seems like quite a hassle.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

I am very pleased with my purchases, I have bought two, and will buy more as needed. I run fans 24/7 year round. These are great replacements for fans that I have used for years that are no longer made. Thank you for a great product and excellent service.
