Motor burned out after only several years
on April 11, 2018
Posted by: kat
from New york
I purchased this item only several years ago and never registered it since I've never had a problem with Vornado products having such a short life span. I was happy with the quality of the fan while it worked, however, I'm pretty sure the motor burned out after just a couple of years. Several months ago the fan was having trouble starting - I had to shake it around a little for it to get going. (I just read other user reviews with the same issue.) Then, last night it smelled like something was on fire in my apartment and I realized the fan stopped working and must have burned out the motor because it was very hot and smelly. I'm really disappointed since I usually invest on quality with the expectation that it will last a long time. I may reconsider buying another vornado for fear this will happen again and then it's money wasted. I will be buying a less expensive fan with the expectation of replacing it more often.
Pros: Adjustable, Good Power Output, Stable Base
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Terrible

Whoever designed the front grill clip and screw mechanism at "6 oclock" to keep the front grill on was a sadist; it is impossible to remove. the fan is not as powerful as the manufacturer claims
Pros: Adjustable
Cons: Loud, does not push air 75 feet as advertised, impossible to take off front grill
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

Short lifespan

We REALLY loved this fan when we first got it. It was powerful and semi-quiet for the air it was moving. However, we starting noticing over time that it was getting weaker, and sometimes it wouldn't turn on. You would have to play with it to get it to go, but go it did. Eventually, it became pretty useless and then it stopped all together. That's it. Nothing turns on, and I'm really not comfortable pulling it apart. Besides, we're not talking about years, here... it was about ONE year. One. So, I'd say for the value, it wasn't worth it. We were really upset because we kept seeing posts about people who had Vornado fans forever, and loved them. Maybe we got a dud? Just overall disappointed. Would have been better off with a cheaper fan, honestly. Wouldn't feel so robbed.
Pros: Adjustable, Good Power Output, Lightweight

Wow oh my gosh I am amazed how well this unit works

Wow, I really got a good education this week, I had researched this Vornado and because of cost I scrimped and bought a cheap knockoff fan, it was very loud and did not move the air very well, you had to aim the fan at you to feel the air moving. So that fan went back and we brought home a Vornado 633. When we got home our room was very warm so I turned on our new Vornado to the medium speed which was less noisy than the knockoff fan was on low speed, and dropped the Tstat down 1 degree. About 30 minutes later my wife told me she was cold. I moved the Tstat back up 1 degree, about an hour later she said I am still cold so I move the speed to low and the room is nice and cool. The Vornado is aimed up toward the corner of our room and we feel air flow on our feet, legs, arms, head all over. The Vornado really does move air all over the room as advertised. Very well pleased with our new Vornado, have learned you do get what you pay for. Great job Vornado keep up the Great work.
Pros: Adjustable, Compact, Durable, Good Power Output, Lightweight, Quiet, Stable Base

Beware

from Denver, CO
Great initially. But once it gets dirty, you may as well throw it out. In order to remove the grill to clean the blades one must remove three tiny screws which are VERY recessed. And this is all but impossible. Read the other comments, I am not the only one to complain about this. Too bad. I would never buy one of these again.
Pros: Compact, Great speed settings, Quiet
Cons: Impossible to clean. Bad design.
No, I would not recommend this to a friend.

A Excellent Model
on August 18, 2016
Posted by: Terry
from NY, NY
This Model 633B is a excellent fan. It is quiet and effective at all speeds. The base to this Model is very sturdy and well balanced, and to place this Fan at any angle is very easy to do. I purchased this fan to move Air down a long hallway, to cool, a bedroom, and it is working well, I am very pleased with this Model 633B. This is my fourth Vornado fan purchase, and all three earlier fans are still working fine. Vornado makes superior products. Thank you.
Pros: Great speed settings, Lightweight, Quiet
I would recommend this to a friend!

There are three screws that hold the grill in place. I will have information on the location and removal of the screws emailed to you.
