This fan is incredible!!! Especially in this Texas heat! I wish I would have gotten it sooner. Vornado is an excellent brand as I’ve had one before but I love that this is on a stand. Not too loud and great air flow!

I bought this vornado to replace my large size Vornado, It had 3x speeds. This one has 3x speeds low, medium, high with shut off on the last “click” dial. In comparison the large was metal and had a larger top “the circular fan of the Vornado. The materials are very different between the two. This one is super powerful medium size fan. I get the same relief and air circulation with this design vs the large. It was super easy to set up didn’t even need directions no tools ⚒️. Took maybe 3-5 mins to put together. Noise level is low and circulation and air quality is max level. I live in desert climate and this will get me through the summer with my ac combined. Full relief. I’m hot a lot so this works well for those needing extra cooler air in the room and/or direction at them. It’s got a plastic base, top and bottom with a metal pole connecting together. It goes with any room or home. Kitchen, bedrooms or living areas. Versatility. I’m not sure this model comes with a remote control. I love Vornados!

This fan is great! It’s a nice size, not too large or bulky, but still powerful. It feels sturdy and durable. It’s nice to have on these hot summer days and easy enough to move it from room to room with me.

The price drop on Amazon had me replacing my 12-year-old eggshell-colored Vornado, that's dying after summers of enjoyment, with this black model, similar to my original Vornado.I had to purchase all new fans for my west facing condo in a steel framed building that holds the heat in (or cold in winter).New England weather lives up to its name for being crazy and this Vornado arrived on a 85 degree day with no breeze. It took all of 5 minutes to assemble and within a minute of putting it on the highest setting, the cooling and air circulation made me feel human again. I even had to put a light blanket on last night as pointed at me from over 20 feet away, it felt like almost like air conditioning.While the newer stand is a bit cheap-looking, compared to my 12-year-old one that was a round disc, it has the same power.For reference: I have 2 Lasko pedestal fans that I gave away as they just don't cool on high.New purchases during May 2020 were the 660 Vornado floor fan, which circulates air beautifully in my 700 sq ft open livingroom/kitchen and cools if pointed at me from across that distance.This 683 Vornado, which does that same, but love the pedestal height. These two Vornado's in the livingroom are all I need until the AC is on in my building. They will also save money as most days I won't need the electric -powered AC convector on as these are sufficient for cooling.A Pelonis 16inch oscillating pedestal fan with remote that has no cooling power and can't be felt even 2 ft away (could have been damaged in transit as the box was thin, ripped and taped everywhere (going back when I find a box for it)and a Pelonis table 12" fan that has a defect in the grill, oscillates, no remote and is somewhat okay in the bedroom, but lacks any real power. It does has some cooling at 5 ft away maximum. Both Pelonis fans were for the 500 sq ft bedroom. Vornado's for the livingroom.All were purchased through Amazon. I wish I had just bought a third Vornado for the price of the two Pelonis fans as one Vornado has more cooling power and circulation than 3 fans put together.Will update this review if the new Vornado fans don't last like my old ones. Other than that, if you need real cooling and air, a Vornado is the only fan to purchase (except for those tiny Vornado Flippi's. Bought one last year for my bathroom and was very disappointed as really no cooling or circulation, even up close).As to noise - Both Vornado fans are almost silent and all but the highest speed. On high, the sound of whooshing air is quite audible, but not unpleasant.
