Vornado 683DC Energy Smart Medium Pedestal Air Circulator Fan with Variable Speed Control,White

This has been a really great fan, and it works differently than the traditional box or oscillating fans I have used in the past. The biggest difference is how it moves air. Instead of just blowing a breeze directly in one spot or sweeping back and forth, the Vornado pushes a strong, focused stream of air that is meant to bounce off a wall or ceiling and circulate throughout the room. When it is positioned that way, the whole space feels more comfortable, not just the area directly in front of the fan. I do think it cools and circulates a room better than any traditional fan I have used. The air feels like it is moving through the room more evenly, which has made a noticeable difference for me. I liked it enough that I purchased a second one. I personally sleep with a fan and prefer one that has some sound to it, as long as it runs smoothly and does not make odd clinking, rattling, buzzing, or humming noises. This fan has been great for that. On the highest setting, it is definitely on the louder side, but the sound is smooth and works well as white noise for me. On the lower settings, it is much quieter. Right now, I am using it during the day in early June with a window open, and it has kept the room comfortable enough that I have not needed to turn the air conditioning on. What I like: • Circulates air through the whole room when positioned correctly • More effective than traditional box or oscillating fans I have used • Strong, focused airflow • Smooth sound without rattling or buzzing • Great white noise on higher settings • Quieter on lower settings • I liked it enough to buy a second one Things to be aware of: • It works best when aimed toward a wall or ceiling so the air can circulate • It can be loud on the highest setting • Not the same as a traditional oscillating fan • If fan noise bothers you, this may not be the best fit on higher speeds Overall: This is one of the best fans I have used for keeping a room comfortable. It is designed more for whole-room circulation than just blowing air directly at you, and when positioned correctly, it makes the space feel noticeably cooler and more comfortable.

I’ve been using the Vornado 683DC for a few days and it’s a solid upgrade from a regular fan. It moves air around the whole room instead of just blowing in one direction, so the cooling feels more even and consistent. It’s powerful but still energy efficient, and I’ve been comfortable using it for long hours. It’s not completely silent, but the noise is low and manageable for daily use, including while working or sleeping. Overall, it feels durable, effective, and worth it if you want stronger airflow and better room circulation than a basic fan.

I am a FAN! After an hour chatting with GPT it finally talked me into buying this. Out of the box I felt a little disappointed due to its size but man don’t let it fool you. The Vornado puts out so much air it’s PERFECT for my 16x18 master bedroom. The sound is also exactly what I wanted, not too loud to where it drowns out all outside noise but loud enough to find that sweet spot for a full nights rest. I had it on full blast and actually had to turn it down so I wasn’t cold throughout the night. The only regret I have is how much money I’ve wasted over the years on cheap Walmart fans that lasted me a year maybe. All in I highly recommend.

This fan is amazing! We use it to pull and blow cool air from one room to another and it works well! Our living room gets cooler with our AC and this little fan can pull cool air and push it wherever we turn it to. Would love if it was more quiet in the highest setting.

We have gone through a bunch of fans over time. All different makes and styles. Expensive and cheap. They have all seized up. We run fans all the time just to move the air a bit more. The motors just fail. We have one Vornado fan on our 36ft sailboat. It is still running fine after years. So when the fan in the bedroom of our travel trailer failed after less than a year. I looked at the Vornado fans. These were more $$ because they are DC, not AC. Bought one. What a great fan. They are smaller but really move the air well. And they are extremely quiet! At the half-power setting, you really cannot hear it running. But it is moving the air really well. At full power, they really move the air. Love these fans. We purchased another one. Now we have one in the bedroom of the camper and one in the galley of the camper. Moving the air really nice. The one in the galley (26 ft camper) you can feel the air moving all the way to the other end where the bedroom is down a hallway. It is really nice having the variable speed control instead of just three speeds pre-set. Infinite speed control. And no sound. The base has 5 legs. I removed one to allow the fan to be placed closer to the wall. Still very stable this way. (picture) Just a perfect fan. And 80% more efficient, That will save us some electrical use. The extra cost is totally worth it. When the time comes for another fan in the house we will be buying one of these for sure.

This fan is by far the best fan for the price. It excells in it's performance. It is easy to assemble and extremely well built. The best part is that regardless of the setting it has a consistent flow of air which handles any need required. Don't look at another fan, buy this one...it won't disappoint.

Fab, quiet and great force

Love it!

Bought 1 of which I had for best part of a year, on everyday and on through the night, hence buying this one. My last one was black (which I believe is in its 4th year in daily function/service all year round - 3 set speeds) and this one white. (Smart and variable speed) I too bought two desk ones as well as being that impressed with the brand, the product. I will continue to invest in to this brand.

Es excelente para una área de aproximadamente 4x5, lo malo es que pensé que giraba. No hace nada de ruido cuando está en nivel medio a bajo, en lo máximo es un ruido como 3/4 del ruido que hace un ventilador normal. También leyendo las instrucciones se tiene que colocar mínimo de 1 metro de distancia de algún mueble o pared que no tape la parte de atrás del circulador de aire.

Terrific fan. This is the first Vornado I got. I now have 4 total (various types). The size for this is decent for one room. I initially had it spreading the cold air from the AC down a hallway. I have since switched it for a larger fan. We have since been using it in the bedroom, we maintain the power at about the 3/4 mark and it is quiet. The power brick does become a little warm (nothing alarming) when used at full power for long amounts of time.

It looks small, but if I'd looked at a tape measure, I would have known exactly what to expect. It does a good job of quietly moving air at low speeds, which was critical to staying comfortable this past summer. The variable speed control allows me to get lower speeds than with most conventional 3- or 4-speed fans, and this is what helped keep it nice and quiet! At maximum speed, it's quite loud, but it also moves a lot of air. I don't usually need to turn it up that high. Construction looks nice and sturdy (it hasn't failed in the last several months), but it could take years to find out how well built it really is.

This fan is super quiet, but is amazing at cooling off a whole room! It's probably the best fan I've ever bought! I run fans all the time all year and this certainly the quietest fan ever! It's also very powerful and will cool off a large room easily. Highly recommend!
