Vornado 6303DC Energy Smart Medium Air Circulator Fan with Variable Speed Control, White

I have had the same small 3 speed Vornado for nearly ten years now, and while my original model truly deserves a 21 gun salute for its service over the years, it was time to upgrade and get something from the modern age. That’s where this Vornado DC Fan comes in. First Impressions Vornado makes quality products, and this one is no different. It has an elegant simplicity to it with a minimalist design, and more importantly, they last FOREVER. My last model had a 3 speed dial on the back, so you had to go turn it on and off in a slightly inconvenient manner. This model is improved by having two buttons on the front that let you raise/lower with a setting range of 1-100, so much more customizable. Power This fan doesn't mess around. Remember as a child when you left a window open and your dad would chastise you for trying to cool the whole neighborhood? With this fan, you can. Perfect for combating the sweltering Texas heat or for keeping you chilly in your blankets like an arctic fox burrowing in the snow. Or maybe you want a mild gentle breeze - that’s fine too, the speed control lets you customize your airflow for the ideal temperature. Sound This fan is… not quiet, to say the least. If you asked me before I had a Vornado, I might not think this sounded like a good thing. Honestly though, it’s pure bliss. Better than the best white noise machine. It's like a steady, soothing hum that drowns out the world's symphony of nighttime noises. Thanks to this fan, I now sleep like a log - a log in a blissful hurricane. I also sleep with pepper spray because I’m pretty sure someone could break down my door and I would not hear it when this is on. Remote Control Okay conceptually? I love the remote control. Gone are the days of bargaining and pleading with your spouse to get up and turn off the fan so you can stay safely inside your warm cocoon of blankets. Sort of. This remote seems like it has a maximum distance of 4 feet on a good day, and that’s only if you are in direct line with the fan. That being said, it doesn’t necessarily have to point the air directly at you to work, so this isn’t TOO bad once you find a good spot for it. It also keeps the same setting when you turn it on and off, so you don’t have to fuss to get that perfect number each time. Final Thoughts Overall, I’d say this fan is a solid buy. It's strong, reliable, and it won't let you down when the heat is on. Yes, the remote might make you feel like you're trying to communicate with a stubborn cat at times, but it's an easily fixable quirk for the reward of controlled breeziness. If you have little patience for modification to optimize a product or you want to hear every creak in your house during the night, it probably isn’t for you. However, if you are looking for highly adjustable control and you can’t sleep without arctic winds and a peaceful silence, you’ve found your match.

Never bought one of these before. Price seemed high for a fan and I thought all fans were basically the same. This fan's technology was new to me. I will start by saying the Vornado does make a huge difference in lowering the temperature feel in a room especially in smaller rooms. We have central air in the house but don't run it often. I like my room cold so have been running a window air conditioner on max almost every night in the summer for years. Had to get rid of the window AC this year due to a damaged window. I have to say the Vornado has performed admirably on 90 degree days alongside central air. The Vornado re-circulates the air extremely well and you really feel the difference. Even on its own you immediately feel the difference over a standard fan. The remote works well. For anyone bothered by the light on the fan display you can put a piece of mail over it without blocking out the sensor so the remote still works. The fan timer is a nice touch. You can set the timer for 6-8 hours so it shuts off before you wake up. If you are looking at buying a Vornado I would highly recommend this model over the others for ease of use, power, and reliability... for some reason people had a lot of issues with some of the other more basic Vornado models without the remote. As for the many reviews complaining about the noise, I actually like it. Running at 50 speed, the noise of the fan helps to greatly reduce outside noise. The fan creates more of a white noise sound anyways and you quickly get used to it. Have run it at 70+ speed as a change of pace and the noise did bother me though. But running it at 50 speed is the best of both worlds, blocks out outside noises that might wake you up in the morning and makes a big difference in how cool the room feels. Overall, for a regular sized bedroom, the Vornado comes highly recommended. But for very large rooms or open areas you would probably need something else entirely like a high powered window air conditioner.

This fan is MUCH quieter than my older (several years ago) Vornado fan. It moves a lot of air, too! My only con is that the light displays are on all night. It's more light than I would like, since it's in a bedroom. SO, I put dark blue masking tape over them. The remote still works. No problem! I like the compact size and adjustable body to direct the air flow. This product comes from Andover, Kansas. US. Vornado fans have been around for decades and so far, the quality and value is still way up there!

I love Vornado fans-it’s the only brand I will buy anymore. Love the variable speeds & the brushless motor. my old Vornado was starting to squeal & rattle, and since I use it as white noise to sleep was more annoying than calming. It can be quiet as can be on low, or perfect for white noise. I wanted one with a remote so I can turn it up/down when watching TV while in bed, but you have to be about 2-3 feet away in order for it to work, so kind of defeats the purpose of a remote! I just have to reach over to get close to it & its better than having to walk around my bed to turn it on/off or adjust the fan speed. I recommend this fan, but the remote could use some improvement !

Estoy en GDL en una habitación a la que da el sol todo el día y no tiene forma de cubrirse. Al 60% ya genera muchísimo aire y no hace tanto ruido como un ventilador más grande. No he tenido que usarlo a mayor potencia, ya que a ese nivel enfría muy bien el cuarto. La verdad estoy sorprendido. Me dieron un ventilador mucho más grande, pero es muy ruidoso y no genera tanto aire como este. Definitivamente es una compra muy útil y posiblemente compre otro en el futuro.

Not the cheapest. But quality is very good. Recommended

Excelente ventilador ,Cumple lo que promete!

My apartment gets hot in the summer and I have no A/C so I've been using regular fans for years. My trick is to set a fan in the window facing inward to draw cooler air in, then have another fan at the open sliding door at the other end of the apartment to blow the hot air out. This worked, but was slow. Last night I did this with 2 Vornado fans at full speed and lowered my apartment temp by 3 degrees in about 20 minutes. I could actually feel the air moving between the fans from one room to another. I'll be donating my other 3 regular fans. The fans are still new (got my second one 2 days ago) but so far I love them. Highly recommended.

I was very surprised how much air it pushes .I honestly thought being energy smart if would be weak .it is not. The air flow is great. The sound is not bad at all .it's smooth no screeching or clicking . It's very lightweight . Easy to move .
