Vornado 5303DC Energy Smart Small Air Circulator Fan with Variable Speed Control, white, Medium

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.

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.

Excellent fan, love the granular control the DC motor offers. We use this fan in our workout room which has a bike trainer setup that we use. This makes a difference for us because the kids like a small amount of air when doing a training session during warm up then more air flow as the difficulty ramps up and intervals begin. The remote is small, works very well and is easy to use. This fan looks great, runs great and is built well. Yes it has plastic but this is Tesla plastic, not Chevy plastic. Kids love it when they are training on the bike and say that they like that the air flow because it covers all of them, not just say, their head. Guess this is due to the circular motion of the air flow as it is not a directional blast like with a regular fan. This thing moves a lot of air. Noise is unnoticeable at low levels. Nitpicks - This fan does not rotate, no big deal for us, we do not need it to rotate for our uses. For the price however, the thing should rotate around the Sun. Also, wish it would raise a bit higher than it does. Does not negatively affect what we use it for, and the height works fine for us as it is. Last nitpick, wife gave me the stink eye when she found how how much it cost. Unpleasant.

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!

Excelente producto funciona muy bien gracias

as advertised

I have been sleeping with a fan since I was 7 (I am now 21) and I have slept with small fans, big fans, old fans, new fans etc and NONE come even close to the quality, power, and overall look and feel of this fan. It is the most powerful fan I have ever felt other then those massive metal industrial fans but even then its only just a bit less powerful but its so quiet compared to those. Previously I was using an older big box fan. I his fan at 75 is stronger yet half as loud! But the noise is also smooth and consistent it is amazing for sleeping with and the overall look is amazing I love it's small and sleek modern look like with high quality metal stand very heavy and sturdy!!!! I will. Never ever use ankther brand of fan again I am. Bkyeomd happy with this fan. I axrjaly would go to far as saying it is the best purchase I've ever made on Amazon considering a need a ran to sleep. The remote is nice the range isn't amazing but it's better than any other fan remote I've tried. The box was really and and high quality but sadly it got extremely damaged during shipping which sucked because I like to keep noce boxes for storage etc anyways I would easily recommend this whether it's for sleep or hot days or really anything you need a fan for its small and protable. If ylu can afford it to spend this kind of money on a fan it's well worth it specially considering it has a 10 year warranty...

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.

I have spent years moving fans around my condo in the Summer to cool it. I started with one Vornado and now I have two larger Vornado fans in the main living space and two smaller fans in the kitchen and bedroom. Finally it all works!! I am amazed at the airflow pushed out by these fans. They are a bit noisy at maximum power, but perfectly acceptable noise level at most levels. I’ve thrown out the useless Costco tower fans.
