I love my Vornado!

Living in one of the world's most humid countries is no joke! As much as I'd like to keep the A/C on the whole day, more economical measures are required. Turn off the A/C, cool down the room, then turn off the A/C, all the while letting the Vornado do its job. Whisper quiet on the lowest setting, slightly on the loud side when on the highest setting. The Vornado 630 certainly is well built, the parts don't feel cheap at all. I've got small kids, so those large, metal bladed industrial types don't really appeal to me. The 630's grill certainly does a great job of keeping my childrens' fingers where they should be: on their hands! One minor gripe, though. Vornado's distributor in the Philippines only has a 1 year warranty on it. If it breaks down after that, I'm thinking I better buy another one. Does the job, looks great. Thanks Vornado!
I live in Seattle, where it rarely gets hot enough to justify AC in the home. However, we've had a few heat spells in recent summers that can drive temperatures in our older, poorly venhilated home into the mid-90's. Last year we purchased 2 of these mid-size fans and I can not believe how well they circulate the air through the second floor of the home and how quickly they can cool down the house when the sun goes down. They are powerful fans and I love how they don't take up much space.
We have five different Vornado fans and each of them is an excellent value and performer. The 630 is quiet on lowest setting and has allowed us to raise our air conditioning temperature to about five degrees above what we use, thereby saving hundreds of dollars per year. Vornado is always worth the small extra in the price for warrranty, performance and effectiveness.
I love this fan so much that I bought two of them and I've had them both for over three years now. Initially, I had a tough time convincing my wife that we needed one, because they appear to be quite expensive for what they are. However, once she experienced the 630, she became a believer and we now own quite a few other Vornado products as well. The 630 has a very small footprint for such a powerful fan, it moves a ton of air even at the low setting. The 630 makes our A/C MUCH more efficient. Now, we keep the AC set to a much higher temp in the summer, usually around 78 and the room stays surprisingly comfortable! We usually run the low setting at night, as the 630 works as both a low-level white noise machine and keeps the air in the room from getting stuffy. The mid setting is fantastic for general use when the windows are open, freshening the house in minutes instead of hours. The high setting is fantastic for drying mopped floors or airing out the bathroom after using harsh cleaners; what used to take forever in these humid environments the 630 does in minutes. Would I buy another one? Absolutely. Would I recommend one to a friend? Without hesitation and with great enthusiasm.
Truly one of the best products (of any kind) I've ever owned. It really does the job...consistantly...perfectly. Can't rave enough. This was a really smart purchase.
I really like how my Vornado looks and goes around my house. The description says it is a medium size, it's actually quite small when compared to what we've seen at home improvement or similar stores. It is well built and Its compact size is perfect for sofa table, end table or, as intended, on the floor. We use it as a regular fan, not an air circulator which defeats its original purpose, but we like it this way. With the lowest speed, the fan is quiet enough and never interferes our conversation at the dinning table. With highest speed, like others, it's not going to be as quiet but we never set it above the lowest speed. If I could change one thing about this fan, it would have to be the speed selection. I'd like the lowest speed to be the first click, instead of the highest speed. Overall, if you have to move your fan around a lot, in the house, this is the perfect one. The price is a little high but its look blends in seemlessly with all the furnitures in the house. We have it over a year now and it's still going strong. I like mine. I'm sure you will like it too.
Nice & quiet - tilter works great - very light & portable - amazing power and fan strength for it's size. Nice to have 3 speed settings - Great for drummers on stage under those hot lights.
There is no comparison to a vornado fan, they are "simply the best". They are quiet in operation, and the amount of wind they produce is phenominal. The drug store fans are what I consider disposable. My Vornado travels with us, and goes on the job when we perform service calls. Living in Arizona, I could not live without my vornado. I recently broke my fan blade, and was prepared to make another purchase. To my pleasant surprise - it was under warranty, and they shipped me a new blade at no charge. Awesome customer service!!!
