Good airflow, needs some updates

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.

This fan is NOT easy to clean

The packaging for this fan says "easy to clean." It is NOT. You must have a narrow long magnetic phillips head screw driver to remove three deeply recessed tiny screws from the plastic frame in order to reach the blade for cleaning.

Works very well with minimal noise and is built way better than any other household fans on the market. Appears to have a good quality, large motor. Very easy to clean and looks good. Will be purchasing more Vornados to replace other fans I have! This one was well worth the price!
Pros: Compact, Easy To Maintain, Good Power Output, Great speed settings, Quiet
I would recommend this to a friend!

I just bought a replacement for my 633, which finally quit working after 4 years of constant running. I never shut it off for 4 YEARS!! I know that's not suggested but I just left it on to keep the air moving whether I was home or not. I tried a cheaper brand & it lasted 3 months. I will never use anything but Vornado!
Pros: Compact, Durable, Great speed settings, Quiet
I would recommend this to a friend!

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

This is a great fan. It's compact and quiet but puts out a large volume of air for its size. It replaced a larger fan that didn't move nearly as much air.
