5303DC

This is one stout little fan. I'm picky about the products that I bring home and place in any of my rooms. This is designed very well and works exactly as you'd expect. Fan noise is somewhat subjective. Even though they do list the decibels at different velocities, it's still a personal opinion about sound. I keep this one in my bedroom and when it's at a comfortable fan speed you can still hear the fan when sleeping. However, I want some white noise while I sleep since I'm a very light sleeper. This is a smooth white noise and is just right at a setting of "25". I have another one of these in my home office, and I boost it up a little bit when the remote when I'm not on a phone call, and when a call comes through I dropped it down to 5 or 10, I can't hear it, and neither can the people on the phone. And that low-level does still keep the air moving quite satisfactorily. Overall it's just a great little fan. On the noise level, I gave it a four because even though I think it's still quiet enough for me I was kind of hoping it would be a little quieter at some of the higher ranges like over "40". But I understand that when you move air you gotta make some noise. I guess I'm being a little picky here too. But again this is a great fan, I would recommend to anybody and I'm sure I will be buying more of them. As matter fact I did buy a 2nd one of these and its older, bigger brother the 660 model and I'm thoroughly enjoying that one as well, even though it has a 5 year warranty instead of a 10-year warranty.

I love this little fan and I couldn’t sleep without it! Having a remote is a must, and on this fan you have to know where to aim it to make it hit the sensor, but what I love about it is that it changes in increments of 1. You might not think that 1 increment would make a difference, but it does, and it helps me dial in the airflow to the exact perfect number. It adjusts from 1 to 99. Although it doesn’t move side to side, it is perfect for my bedroom. It is small enough to sit nicely on a small nightstand, but powerful enough to create a mighty wind if you want one. It seems to be of good quality, and I am very happy that I chose this fan!

VERY handy to have the remote to change speed. No getting down on the floor to change the speed. The remote is limited range, but MUCH better than bending to floor to change speed. Quiet at the lower speeds , but of course as you speed it up it gets louder due to throwing more air. Nice to have a display of speed so that you can return to where you want it instead of guessing with an unmarked rotary control with other variable speed fans. Another BIG plus is the DC motor that can be started at low speed without being hard on it. AND of course uses a lot less electric.

Great fan. Powerful and quiet.

I looked at so many fans before I bought this one. I work from home and have several hot flashes a day. (Since 2018...I know...sigh) Anyway, I originally had a tower fan about 3 feet away (in front of the white cabinet in photo), but we are remodeling the kitchen and the ugly tower fan propped up on a box had to go. So, I bought this Vornado 5303DC. It plugs in which I wanted, it has a remote which I wanted, and it seemed like it would be sturdy being a Vornado. Yes to all of those points. It has no speeds, sounds weird but it's great. It literally goes from a speed of 1 to ??... I've had it up to 30 and it keeps going higher. I have it on 19 and it's a LOT of wind. I love a cold house, but these hot flashes melt me. This fan ROCKS! I love it when I buy something that is totally worth it. It also has a timer which I don't need, but thought I'd mention it.

PROS 1. really quiet at low settings 2. great speed adjust ability, from barely a slight breeze to a blasting Vornado air circulator. 3. did I mention its really quiet at low speeds 4. great Vornado customer service (see below) CONS 1. digital read out for speed slowly lost segments, now only a couple will work so unable to read what speed its on. 2. fan only adjust manual about 35 degrees in the vertical plane only, now side to side unless you move the whole fan. 3. premium quality fan, however very lousy remote control. (read below) I would recommend this fan if you want a very quiet low speed fan. I love that I can set it really low at night so it keeps some air moving in the bedroom, but don't wake up early in the morning over chilled....this also does have a timer. The remote that came with it is very small, easy to lose, and felt very cheap. And boy was it cheap, it never worked unless you pointed it directly at a certain angle to the fan. It feels very cheap, over time the buttons seemed to not register at all (about a year old, they do advertiser a 10 yr warranty). Replaced the battery, but its not working properly. So, I emailed customer service about the remote, and they offered to send me a new one. In less than a week I just got my new remote, I didn't even have to send proof of purchase. The new remote looks the same, but seems to be better built and the buttons feel of better quality. Time will tell if they really improved the design/build of the remote. Hurrah for great customer service!

Best fan ever! I got the small version! I def would get the medium size in another time!

I got this fan before Christmas and wanted to try out a remote dc fan after using a 133dc. This fan has a huger variant of speeds and remote control comes handy to use, cord hook is convenient to have, and a carry handle for ease of portability.

Excelente producto funciona muy bien gracias

small and powerful!

Después de dos años el control remoto dejó de funcionar y me ha sido imposible, hasta hoy, encontrar un repuesto, porque la marca no los vende. El ventilador funciona muy bien y da mucha batalla, solo es el control.

I bought two fans for my children’s room’s. They really do get the air circulating and their rooms were noticeably cooler.

The best forever 😊
