723DC Energy Smart Full-Size Air Circulator Fan with Variable Speed Control

I wanted a variable speed fan as the uses are much more than a three-speed fan. The ability to adjust the fan speed--and the motor/blade volume--allows one to use this fan in everything from a baby's nursery to a garage. It's wonderful and the need to adjust the volume/speed is greater than you'd think for each individual situation. I have high 22-foot ceilings in my living room, and so much hot air is trapped up there in the winter it's crazy. So, I bought this fan and have it at about 30% of max speed pointed straight up to the ceiling (the fan tilts nicely on the robust metal stand), it's quiet enough to watch TV and not notice anything more than a dull "white noise" if I am listening for it, and the amount of air that now circulated off the hot cavern ceiling above is amazing. I sit on my couch and it's at least 6-7degrees warmer here than with the fan off. That's a lot! Percent of max speed and uses: I also use it as a gentle white noise napping fan in afternoons (15%); for cooling on my rowing and treadmill workouts (80%); for circulating air off my ceiling (30%); for speeding up clothes drying on my rack (50%); for airing out my bathroom when someone sets off a colon bomb I100%...lol...just kidding, more like 50%); for drying wet carpet (100%); for drying moldy basement (66%); for drying a wet dog (40%); for gentle air movement while you sleep (10%), etc. You'll find more uses once you have the fan and appreciate the speed variability. There are YT videos showing the electricity use of this fan, and on low power its drawing about 22 watts, and on high power it's drawing 66 watts (i.e. basically the same as a traditional incandescent 60 watt bulb). I almost never use it on highest power though unless I'm drying rugs or clothes. The noise is loud on full speed. I own many fans, including an 18-inch Patton all-metal, 3-speed industrial fan. Those are effective, but noisy. I adore the ability to adjust the speed infinitely for my needs. It's the best fan I have ever owned.

Este ventilado lo tengo tengo funcionando permanentemente por ya unas tres semanas. Funciona bien y es silencioso a bajas velocidades. Solo aumento la potencia cuando salgo de la habitación para circular el aire hacia afuera a través de una ventana. Una preocupación que tenia es con las mascotas, ya que el ventilador esta muy pocos centímetros del suelo. Mis perros no interactúan, ni se ven afectados por el ventilador. Los defectos ya los han mencionados en otras reseña y están relacionados con la fuente de poder: Es muy fácil que se desconecte la fuente de poder del ventilador. La fuente de poder es negra cuando el ventilador es blanco (muchos fabricantes entregan fuentes blancas con sus productos blancos).

I picked up the Vornado 783DC, and it’s quickly become my favorite fan in the house. The airflow on this thing is seriously impressive—it easily moves air across an entire room and keeps everything feeling cooler without blasting you directly in the face like a cheaper fan. The variable speed control is also a huge plus; instead of just a few set levels, you can dial it in exactly where you want it, from whisper-quiet circulation to a strong, room-filling breeze. I also like that the height is adjustable, which makes it really versatile. I can set it lower for the living room or raise it higher if I want to move air above furniture. Even at higher speeds, it’s quieter than I expected for how much air it moves, and honestly it’s the quietest fan I’ve ever owned. Being a DC model, it’s also energy efficient, which gives me peace of mind since it runs for long stretches in the summer. Overall, it’s a powerful, versatile fan that’s built to last and does a far better job than any standard pedestal or box fan I’ve owned.

I like the variable speed control and the very sturdy base. Looks and feels like a high quality product that will last a long time, and the 10 year warranty ensures that. Very quiet from low to medium power, which is enough power to circulate my space comfortably. Max power is a bit too noisy for my liking, but too be fair it is mostly wind noise from the air moving so strongly. The motor is very quiet and is easy to ignore. Overall great value for the price.

Only flaw is huge noise
