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.

    A very good fan so far. It’s mighty, moves the air very well throughout the house. Quiet on low setting but noisy on high. But the high level helps me sleep.

    This is fan is a great addition to our home gym. It can be focused on the user and it circulate the air of the room. It is quiet but powerful, I usually use the lowest selector and it is adequate. If you need more air, you can choose the higher selector. It is also well built and very sturdy. I am really happy with it, the only draw back, I wish it had a timer.

    While the fan's size and shape are smaller than expected, it packs a colossal amount of power. In a 300-500 sq ft room the fan not only blows cool air, but recirculates the existing air in the room, keeping the humidity from getting too bad. While this will never match an AC unit, it's an affordable and more energy-efficient alternative.

    Actually this fan is bery quiet on its lowest setting, and actually delivers a fair amount of air however it is somewhat concentrated, but if you pointed it into the corner of the room it will circulate air pretty well. Pound for pound this thing packs a punch.

    When I purchased it looked like it was y’all but it doesn’t go up more than 3 feet. So the fan stand at only 3 ft high which is not convenient since the bed is y’all so if I want it to reach me past my husband I have to put it on top of a box. It does blow good and blows cool air even if it’s hot. I like how it sounds loud since I can only sleep with the fan sound on

    This fan is amazing! The air it pushes around the room is better than the much larger fan we were using. Will buy another soon! Also simple to assemble.

    We love vornado fans. We have three in the house now including this model. We had two of the old vornado fans with a curved metal tube used as the stand. Frustrating because they tipped over easy. Glad to see they ditched that design. This fan is stable but I wish the base was solid or heavier. This base is assembled from multiple plastic pieces so it can only be so stable. Maybe that is why they made the actual fan too small. It really needs to be bigger but it isn't. The old model pushed more air. Still a great fan. The front guard and fan blade are easy to remove for cleaning.

    I love this fan! No rattles and nice strong fan. A little shorter than expected, but not too short to meet my needs. Since I purchased with my Best Buy certificates, it didn't seem overpriced to me. Does it seem like a lot for a fan? Yes, but it is a solid piece and cooled up my 2nd floor bedroom during the oppressive heat in Coastal NC in the summer of 2023 (still needed a fan even though a/c worked).

    THIS is a great fan if you're looking for something that's durable strong and gets to the point. though it comes in a short size it is powerful and you can move it up and down to circulate the air in the room. I am pleased with this purchase and I will buy it again and recommend it to anyone!

    I originally bought this to help bring cool air from outside the house window into the house, but from the floor to the Window the fan is just short of what I'd want. So I have to prop it up on a little stool for my needs. That doesn't constitute a loss of star in my book, since this was an error on my part. I should have read the description more. However, the vague description of "Save and Quiet Design" on the product page is kind of a lie and a truth at the same time. It says it's constructed "safe and silent". Vornado and I have different views on this. On LOW it's not 'quiet' per se, I mean it is but it's not. It's very noticeable even on low. Perhaps it's just the size of the fan, but I think they could have added 5 speeds to truly make it silent: silent, medium silent, high silent (aka Low), then Medium and High. Yes I know then it'll move less air, but if I wanted actual silence with air movement, I think that would be fine. For the regular MEDIUM and HIGH, it's loud in my opinion, like not even close to being quiet. So for that, I'm knocking a star off along with the "Telescopic" height adjustment that only moves up and down 5 inches again, my mistake for not doing my due diligence.

    When I picked up the product I thought that the store made a mistake due to how small it was in terms of what I was picturing. The size does not matter at all. The air circulation that this small diameter fan generates is astounding to me. I would not hesitate to buy another.
