"Vornado 733B High Velocity air circulator"
I am amazed that this small air circulator had really kept my small house cool this summer. I have other fans in different areas of the house and none of them can do the job of the Vornado. I would highly recommend it. MDH

"Great Fan, Awkward Control Placement"
I think this is a great fan. It moves air very well and without much noise. I do have one complaint: the control dial is on the back of the fan. This is a very awkward place to reach, especially if the fan is not placed flat on its base. In the 45 or 90 degree positions (for lack of a better description) the dial is almost impossible to reach. You'll find yourself picking it up to access the dial. It's not a big deal, but I'm surprised to find such a obvious usability problem on an otherwise great product.

"Not your ordinary fan!!!"
Great fan.... works perfectly in the office. Circulates plenty of air, without moving papers around in the office!

"First time vornado owner"
I LOVE this unit! It's called an air circulator and sure enough it does that - but it's short-changing the product as a fan too since it's far stronger and effective than most box fans I've ever owned (even when the box fans are on high speed) - I have no idea what people are complaining about with regards to the *noise* - apparently they have never owned a box fan or stand fans or have forgotten the often high-pitched whirring noise they emanate - the vornado sounds no higher than an a/c unit when on full blast and quickly blends into background noise when you sleep. Even our 2 usually skittish cats walk around it and sleep only 10 feet away when it is on its highest setting! We live in a 4 room basement apartment and already it has lowered the temp by at least 5 degrees (its breeze reaches the furthest corner of the 2nd room it is directed towards)- we find keeping it in the straight ahead position on the floor in the same room as the a/c the most effective thus far but we've only owned it for 2 days and haven't experimented with a cross-draft effect near a window yet. It is light weight, sooo easy to carry and its compact design makes it truly portable. We bought a simple bathroom rug to place it on which has proven effective in reducing additional vibration noise on a vinyl floor. Already have advised family and friends to get one (2 are in the process of buying one as I write this).

"Vornado 733 B"
I recently purchased the Vornado 733 B High-Velocity 3 speed fan for our upstairs to circulate the air upstairs. I am very pleased with the overall function of the fan. It is much quieter than I'd hoped and really moves the air. I will be purchasing another for downstairs. I was afraid the 733 would be too large but it is perfect for the larger area I was covering. I've purchased a lot of fans over the years and this by far is one of the best!

What our customer's say!

"ie", Sent to daughter in San Diego since they don't have air conditioning. She lives in a little house by the beach and on even fairly warm days her little house gets hot. She said this works well but is pretty noisy when it is on high.

"Lives Up to Expectations", Having read other reviews here at Amazon on this product, we decided to try this product. Our home has a large, open great room approximately 35' x 30' and 12' high ceilings. Our intent was to give this air circulator a try and if it works as well as other reviews said, we would buy a second one for the same room and point them in opposite directions. No need to buy a second one. The Vornado moves all of the air in the space unbelievably well. Since using the Vornado, we have been able to set our thermostat up by one degree in the summer and still stay comfortable. The unit pays for itself.

As the Vornado website says, this product does not work like a conventional fan. If you stand in front of it, it does not feel like a high velocity fan. It's not supposed to. It's designed to circulate the air in large spaces, not fan the air directly in front of the unit.

Overall, this is a great product. We will be purchasing additional (smaller) Vornados for the bedrooms.

"Vornado Fans", I've had vornado fans for approx 18 years and only had to replace one. I use them year round. They are truly worth the investment.

"Great Fan!!!", Was looking to replace an inexpensive fan that simply was too loud on high speed to let us sleep. Once the sun goes down it cools outside but not in the house and we are used to it cooler in order to sleep well. The Vornado can be run on high which really moves the air but does so fairly quietly (you could say very quiet in the city and in the next room quiet in a rural setting).

Owning a Vornado heater I already knew to expect quality construction and wasn't disappointed. A nice feature built into the design is the ability to point the fan level, at an angle, or straight up without any moving parts to shake loose---it is all in the design of the base.

Bottom line; three speeds, really moves the air on high, is quieter at all speeds than any other fan I've seen, and is well designed.

"Not as powerful as I expected", Considering the price and the long list of 5-star reviews for this thing, I expected more. I'm a tad bit skeptical of the other reviews after buying this thing for myself, and I'm not sure it's right of Vornado to label this fan as a "whole-room air circulator." What it is is a fan, not a replacement or even a supplement for an air conditioner. This isn't to say it isn't worth a look, but here are a few points to consider. The first thing I noticed after taking it out of the box was size: this fan was a lot larger than I expected. Second, I noticed its cheap plastic design - it's not an unattractive fan, but it made out of plastic, and doesn't feel like 70 dollars worth of material. But that's fine, the real question is whether it works, right? Well, one thing this fan can do is move air. Even on low, you can feel a steady breeze if you're in its path. The high mode is pretty loud, but if you're actually using it on that setting, you're probably very hot and more concerned with getting hit in the face with a high-velocity stream of cold air than being irritated by a whirring noise, right? Anyway, I tried positioning the fan to blow indirectly to get it to circulate the air, and that's where I started to get disappointed. The "constant current of air" that other reviewers mentioned was nowhere to be found. I didn't feel the room cool down at all. Standing in front of the fan's path cools me off instantly, but it doesn't, at least in my experience, seem to have much effect on the rest of the air in a room. If you're looking for a nice indirect, indoor breeze, I'm not sure you're going to get it from this product. If you're looking for a nice fan, the low setting does work brilliantly here, but again, it's 70 dollars. There are plenty of 20 dollar fans that do the same job.

The bottom line:
- Works well as a fan, but doesn't circulate the air as advertised
- Fan is larger than you might expect
- Decent product with decent quality, but not worth the 70 dollars (buy three cheap fans and place them around a room on low for a far superior result)
- Keep in mind my opinion is based on only a couple of days with the product, and it may change as I reposition it or use it more (I'll update if my opinion changes)

"Now Made of Cheap Plastic", I've used Vornado fans for decades. So, since my one of my large 700 series fans started having issues starting up (it'd just sit there until shaken, then spin), I ordered this. I was shocked, after opening the box, to find this fan made of flimsy plastic. I'd prefer to pay more and have a decently made fan, not something resembling a toy.

I guess items are going to continue to be made lighter and lighter (saving on tanker fuel to get from China to the US), until everything will be light as paper. Then we'll get to watch our new fans fly around the room, due to lack of weight. :-0

Its body is larger than my old 700 series, taking up a larger footprint. It is better in that it is designed to sit in its three positions without falling back onto its old default position, like my old fan does. Thus the 3 stars.

"Good little fan", Good fan, but a bit noisy on higher speeds. Only having 3 fixed angles to the base is a bit limiting. Overall I am happy with it.

"Very nice piece of equipment", The Vornado is a very neat fan (or air circulator to be more precise). If you use it as a fan (direct blowing at lowest setting), it is very quiet, and as an air circulator (set at medium speed) it is still not too loud and can be quite powerful. I did have some problems setting it up for maximum performance. It is supposed to have uninterrupted space between itself and a wall and it can be quite a challenge in a small apartment like mine. However after setting up it permitted me to raise the AC temperature a few degrees higher with no impact on comfort. I would have to see my electricity bill to say whether the purchase was worth it in terms of electricty savings. The one thing that is kind of annoying is the speed dial, which is hard to reach.

"The best appliance in the marketplace for circulating air", This Vornado air circulator is my 7th, although 3 of them now reside with my adult children who refused to give them up after using them in college dorms. I've purchased all different sizes, and they all perform excellently - the oldest 2 were purchased in 1995 and are still going strong. If you want to maximize the performance of these units, follow the manufacturer's instructions as to how to position them to circulate the air, depending on the time of year. There is no need to have them blowing or oscillating directly on you if you follow instructions. The cost is well worth it, as cheaper fans don't perform as well, and usually die within a couple of years.

"A bit noisy, but moves a LOT of air", I use two of these to help ventilate an art studio, and to stay cool at home with less A/C. They move a ton of air. The only down side is that they are a bit noisy, but I don't know if that can be avoided when you're moving so much air.
