searched for a high velocity fan and came across the reviews of this 'air mover', which swayed me to purchasing the Vornado 633 as it sounded perfect for my needs.
Well, I have not been disappointed, it is a fantastic way to move the air and cool the room, best one yet by far.
It is perfect for low running cost - high efficiency needs and said to work well in winter also by distributing the warm air evenly, I am yet to try that out.

Living in the tropics with an open plan, open on one side house with no aircon, I was sceptical. It was a stinker day on Friday so I bought one.
Love the output of this fan,it pushes a lot of air around. When I got home, I put it in my living area. I could notice a drop in temperature in about 10 minutes.
It's relatively quite. I sleep with a ceiling fan on year round, so the noise doesn't bother me
You know it's a hit when the dogs plant themselves in front of it. Looking at buying another one

I live in a unit that cops morning sun, and a floor fan wasn't doing it for me. I bought one of these, I put it on the floor, on low speed, and it moves the air so that there aren't any more hot spots. It's not so much a fan as an air mover. A reality check. On speed 3 it makes some sound, but not as much as my air conditioner. I'm happy. Also, it's a lot more solid and stable than your every day fan.

After researching fans online, I decided to buy a Vornado based on their excellent feedback. I am not disappointed. This is the best fan I have ever owned. Quiet, efficient and stylish and certainly good value for the money. What is more it comes with a 5 year warranty so they must be pretty confident in the performance of their product. I had originally intended to buy a tower fan which I have had in the past but found that you had to be directly in line with the air outlet to gain any benefit. Not so with this model as it distributes cool air to every part of the room without oscillating due to its unique design. Would recommend this fan with no reservations.
