Vornado 530 Compact Whole Room Air Circulator, Black

This little guy packs a real punch. The sound is very tolerable- a soft and very steady purr. Definitely moved the air in a medium-sized open space kitchen/ living room and is helping us survive the tropical days we’ve been having in the east coast. Haven’t tried sleeping with it because it moves the air around well enough time set us up for the night.

Mueve el aire muy fuerte en el nivel 3, en el 2 como para tenerlo cerca si el calor está fuerte, en el nivel 1 es sutil, silencioso para descansar y dormir. Satisfecho con la compra, si pudiera poner 6 estrellas lo haría.

Been using this fan primarily as a bathroom fan. Don’t let the small size fool you this thing is a beast of an air mover and is quite powerful on high. Know this it’s loud on high but it packs a punch when it comes to high air volume movement. Honestly while I use it in my small bathroom it’s kinda overkill but it’s great for after a hot shower. Noise is fine on low just whispers a bit and on medium it’s still reasonably quiet but not silent at all. Then flip it to high and this sucker lets you know what it’s all about! The fan feels solidly engineered and built and doesn’t feel cheap at all. I like how Vornado designed it in such a way that there’s no cord hanging off then motor area, instead it’s on the base and it appears to be concealed and fed up to the fan. However they did it it’s clever. The fan has a standard 5 year warranty so vornado will replace it if anything goes wrong. I will say this I did notice on and off if not used for a while it’ll spin slower on power up then after after maybe a minute it reaches full RPM. Though not normal I assume it’s just a slight issue with the permanent lubrications. The manual states it’s permanently lubricated so we’ll see how it holds up. I give it a five star rating for its solid construction, powerful airflow, and ease of cleaning. Vornados cost a pretty penny but this is a great fan to introduce yourself to so you understand just what their line of fans is all about. Turn it on and stand in front of it and you’ll see exactly why they cost so much. The so called “vortex” action is no joke so if you aim it at a wall say in a small bathroom (I did not really test much in my bedroom) it’ll surround you in a current of air rushing around you so it does work as advertised. Go with bigger models for bigger rooms. It’ll move air around nicely no matter what and would be great for a kitchen too. I decided to give a few weeks of use before writing this overview review so I could test it out properly and I’m not disappointed one bit. However I’ve seen a lot of people stating this thing having a fairly high failure rate so we’ll see. Regardless it’s covered and if it fails so what it’s got a great warranty. These aren’t ten dollar “throw away” fans folks seriously. I’ve already talked to vornado personally on the phone about concerns I had on my tower fan and they didn’t ask questions they were ready to ship a new one immediately. They don’t play around with this stuff so if you got a problem tell them and they’ll take care of you. I’ve seen reviewers stating it failed after a couple years and just pitched it in the trash. Don’t do that! I would not recommend this fan for an office cubicle unless used on low and maybe medium. Because on high someone’s gonna complain about the noise for sure. I didn’t buy it for quiet I got it to move air and it does that better than any fan I’ve ever used.

Plenty of wind! Well made. Only complaint is at level 2 and 3 it is a bit noisy. I gess if you want the power you have to give up something. But at level 1, very quiet.

Excelente producto. Si ventila rápidamente la habitación sin sentir el golpe del aire en la nariz. Ayuda en las temporadas de calor.
