Customers are saying

Customers find value in the 683 Pedestal Circulator Fan's powerful airflow and surprisingly quiet operation for its size. Many appreciate its ease of assembly and functionality. However, some customers wish it were taller and that it offered oscillation. A few also noted that the price point might be considered high for some.

    I feel this is a better version of a fan as far as the direction of concentration of air, if you want a strong full blast of air because of it design of a type of wind tunnel which is the best part of it. This version does not oscillate But it does tilt up and down so you can blow the hot air from the ceiling area. It is very powerful as I’ve bounced air off the walls and ceiling in an 18 foot long room. Three settings with number one and two are softer in noise and three is a bit noise where I feel drowns out tv noise but I place mine near the tv because of the air flow in that area of my room. I’m very happy with mine to limit use of an AC.

    I cannot sleep if it’s hot in my room, this fan has done great for me. I live in the desert and energy costs are high so we try to avoid setting the AC too low. This fan is great, I like to set it to the highest or medium setting and aim it at a corner where the air can then circulate, and I like that the height is adjustable. I bought my parents a ‘nicer’ fan (Dreo 120 oscillating blade less fan) and it sucked, this fan is cheaper and ended up being way better than theirs. I am also a light sleeper and sensitive to the faintest noises at times, so this fan helps so much with minimizing other noises. It’s very relaxing I can’t sleep without my fan. She has been very over worked for the past year but still works beautifully, I think I’m going to purchase another for my parents.

    At first, when I received the fan, I had my doubts because it seemed a bit small, and my expectations weren’t high. However, my opinion took a complete turn once I switched it on. This fan is surprisingly powerful! I bought it to keep the air circulating in my room, alongside an air purifier for clean air. Even at its lowest speed (level one), I can feel the air gently moving around me without even directing the fan towards myself. I genuinely love this fan and highly recommend it to anyone in need of a reliable way to keep their room cool and fresh.

    This is an amazing machine. I was torn between this and buying an AC. I'm not a believer in AC, but was worried about the soaring temperatures. Even after the fan arrived I thought I will return it. But once I assembled it and felt the power of the fan, I was happy with the purchase. This fan can blow air hard. At its highest speed it can cool down a medium sized room in no time. So glad I bought this.

    Is decently powerful for a stand fan, it’s a lot shorter than I expected it to be and I know it shows you the specifications, but I did not get out of tape measure to see how that was gonna look before I ordered it. My bed is on a platform And if I were to put it up against my bed, half of it would be covered up. I will include pictures to show you what I’m talking about. I honestly don’t think it’s worth the money, but it does look nice and I don’t have the time or energy to return it.

    I purchased this fan and when I opened the box, I wasn’t impressed. It seemed small . Input it together and turn it on, and boy was I excited. The fan is very powerful. My daughter came over and was also impressed how good the fan was. She immediately told me she wanted the fan. I ended up purchasing one for her. The following week my son came over from out of town and , I put it in the spare bedroom for him to use and he love it. He stated he wanted one. I ended up ordering another one for him too. I will be purchasing another one for my office room. This fan is so worth it. I have other brands of fan , but this one is the best one of all.

    Vornado makes very powerful fans that move a lot of air. This fan has three speeds, and when it is turned on high and placed in front of an open window or door at night, it pulls in enough cooler air that it makes a light blanket necessary for sleeping. This fan adjusts in length from about thirty inches to about fifty inches, making it easy to move around anywhere moving air is needed. Its two cons: It does not oscillate, and it is hard to clean inside the grill.

    Fan was easy to put together, instructions were excellent. The force of the air coming out was very good, even at low speed. Told it was “louder” than other fans, but was able to sleep without waking up from the noise at low to medium levels. Be careful of height requirements, as it only goes to about 37” tall, which is smaller than most fans. Able to angle the fan reasonably to direct the airflow. Price is the only drawback. Paid close to $80 with tax, should be closer to $50-60

    This is one of the best fans we have ever bought. It's relatively quiet and it circulates a lot of air. It doesn't take up much room. There was some assembly required but it was very easy to pop together. It only took 2-3 minutes before we had it plugged in and running. We're thinking about getting a smaller version of this fan for the bedroom too.
