Vornado 133DC Energy Smart Compact Air Circulator Fan with Variable Speed Control, Powerful Personal Cooling, Signature Vortex Action, Adjustable Tilt, Fan for Bedroom, Kitchen, and Home, White

Great little fan very powerful and excellent in running costs, I've seen a few reviews saying that they returned it because it had an American plug, i guess they've never heard of an adapter, luckily i had one in my spare drawer. So you should buy an adapter when you get the fan. I haven't checked but I'd imagine they're only a few quid.

Powerful and silent. With very good control.

This product is totally unsuited for the UK market. It came with a USA plug and voltage was 110, Worse still, an amount was deducted from the return credit. Grossly unfair as it was the wrong product shipped.

TLDR: The only fan brand I use because it’s the best! This is my 4th Vornado in my home. Works great on the bathroom counter. Keeps me cool and helps dry my skincare applications. What I liked: I love this brand and use these throughout my home. I love the compact size, adjustable airflow, and energy efficiency. It doesn’t take up too much space on my bathroom counter. I’m using this to stay cool and dry my skincare between layers. I like that I can tilt it and dial in the exact air flow I want. It’s also very quiet. And it’s a great value for the price. What could be better: While I love all my Vornado fans, the aesthetics aren’t the best. But that doesn’t deter me from buying and using them. Size: This is a compact size, so it would be great as a desk fan or countertop fan. Durability/maintenance: Well, I haven’t had this long but I can say that I bought my first Vornado in 2012, and I am still using it in 2025! It’s also survived numerous moves to include international relocations. So I’m feeling pretty good about this one. These fans will collect dust so I unscrew the front and use a swift duster to wipe it down as needed. Would I recommend: This is best for someone who wants a high quality, durable, energy efficient, compact sized fan. Maybe for the bathroom vanity to dry skincare or makeup setting spray. Maybe on a desk to stay cool while working/studying. About my photo: Photo shows this fan on my bathroom vanity. I put a little tray underneath to keep it higher off the sink. Hopefully, to ensure it doesn’t get wet.

I bought this fan to replace an old fan that was starting to make noise. I use it on my nightstand as white noise to help me sleep. The Vornado has been excellent so far. It's quiet, smooth, and I really like the variable speed knob to fine tune the air movement and noise level. It's a neat looking little fan as well, and not out of place in my bedroom. Highly recommended.

People will tell you the lower range on the dial is useless fos the same reason soap foams and meds taste bad: people are idiots at knowing something is working unless it annoys them somehow or has some obvious sign (like noise). The fan at a quarter turn is still too much air moving when you just want a teeny bit. The high speed blows air accross the room with less volume than a box fan on medium. (Sometimes even the low on some box fans.) It's wonderful. It's virtually silent on lower speeds. It's energy saving. It pays for itself in a few years if you use a standing fan 24/7. Get it.

Small footprint. Easy dial in front for setting speed. Quiet at 1/2 & 3/4 speed. I’ve found that putting it at the highest setting gives no more benefit and is noisy. It throws the air to a great distance giving a cooling effect. Since it’s lightweight, it’s easy to move around. Definitely worth buying.

Refitting for better boondocking capacity. Reducing power needs is a big part of that. Health issues are aided with nice airflow and it is spendy to run the rooftop AC, even on fan @ 1500W each. Plus they need AC either via generator or inverter. So lots of power per hour and only a handful of hours to deplete even my 2320Ah of 12W battery storge (27.8KWh of power) if trying to run the overheads all night. These new brushless motor Voranado fans are a magic bullet for my use. I bought the 133DC this time and it can run non-stop for days if needed. It has a max draw of about 10W@110v on high (measured at 10.9W) and about 1.4W on low. I have it on a small 750W pure sine wave inverter plugged into an "accessory" plug (aka cigarette lighter adapter) which already is a low power draw. All my phones and such are on the same inverter and run all the time as well. Point there is the fan draws so little power it's not adding much to the load already on the inverter. I can now have a fan blowing all night when the overhead units are overkill. I can't wait to grab maybe the 533DC or such for the living room & kitchen area (it's a nice 38' RV so the Vornado's are nice for their air circulation over the simple blowing...helps me when air seems sort of 'stuffy' and harder to breathe...does that make sense?) I know I am super happy this whole new series of brushless motor fans has come out. If you don't know brushless, as a rule, means the device will use only 10-20% of the same motor with brushes. For the 133DC it is not big at all but still moves A LOT of air, perfect for your night stand or even on a shelf in the room. The RV bedroom is only about 9x12' give or take so a bigger fan really would be a bit of a chore to find a place to set it up or I'd need to build a shelf. It is also really light weight. I am going to use some Velcro straps to hold it down when driving or it's gonna go flying. ;) The true variable speed control is a nice return back to my original Vornado fans vs the odd change they made to the hi-med-low settings, that change actually got me to stop buying Vornado fans for a number of years. Maybe it's just the control freak part of me that needs that sort of setting? I just like being able to fine tune it a bit if I am in the mood. It will be simple to clean as well. Just a couple screws to open the fan cage and boom you can dust it easily. Oh it is lower in height than I was thinking which is nice as well. And of course the fan can be tilted to about level or to 90-deg up direct to the ceiling. Guess that's enough gushing over a danged silly fan but, ya know, some stuff just needs to be talked up a bit.
