Vornado 723DC Energy Smart Full-Size Air Circulator Fan with Variable Speed Control, White, Large

This is not our first purchase of a Vornado product. We bought 3 variable speed vornado fans 20+ years ago. We were down to 2 with one chirping as of recent so we decided we needed a replacement. We are HUGE fans of Vornado. They are quiet while generating superior air flow. That said, we ran out the day our fan starting to fail and purchased a vornado fan at BB&B. We took it out of the box, plugged it in, listened to the fan, and then promptly put it back in the box. The one from BB&B was not variable speed - it had 3 settings and it was loud even on the low setting. This prompted us to research further and buy this one from Amazon. This model is what I would expect from Vornado - even the style is reminiscent of the older versions. Why do companies change a formula that really works- this is feedback for Vornado. The $100+ version from BBB is not worth the money at all. It even looks cheap. This model is worth every penny and in looking at the warranty, this is warranted for 10yrs. As compared to the BB&B version of 5 yrs. At the end of the day the variable speed setting is KEY and worth the extra money.

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 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.

I live in New York City and it gets hot in the summer. With smaller rooms than most of the country, I needed a compact cooling solution when it gets too hot. Enter the Vornado 623DC fan. — DESIGN — What's not to love? You get Vornado's clean industrial design in a versatile white color. It's attached to a curved gray stand that makes the fan look like it's floating at certain angles. The neck swivels up and down and stays in place. I do suggest carrying this by the gray stand instead of the fan as it's more secure that way. — FAN SPEED — Most fans have three speeds: low, medium, high. This model allows variable speeds so you can choose exactly how much cooling you want; it's a nice step up from typical fans. This fan will do a good job of circulating the air or cooling you down during a hot day. It's also a great complement to an air conditioner. If you're cooking and it gets really smokey, it does a great job moving smoke out windows. — CONCLUSION — I've been a Vornado fan for some time. I love their designs, functionality, and how long they last. I've owned this for two years now and bring it out of storage every summer. Recommended.
