Best of the Vornado fans. Quiet, powerful, and energy efficient. A product that works as advertised.
I live in a medium sized 1 bedroom apartment. I wanted a small fan. I originally bought a smaller, $40 Vornado fan and found that I had to turn it all the way up to circulate air in the room, which meant the fan made a lot of noise. I did some comparison research on the Vornado web site, and found that this fan (the 660 series) has the lowest "power consumed to air moved" ratio of any other Vornado fan, meaning this is the most energy efficient fan that Vornado makes, so I returned the small fan and traded up for this fan.
This fan is much larger than what I thought I needed (and twice the price of the $40 fan I was looking at). This fan has better air circulation on the lowest setting than the smaller fan did on the highest setting. Since I'm using a lower fan setting, this fan is very quiet. Plus I have the option of turning it up all the way if I really want to move some air.
The directional focus of the fan works as advertised. I put the fan in one corner of...
My single favorite fan
As the proud owner of several Vornado fans that I've purchased and used over the past 15 years, the Vornado 660B is especially interesting. First, as most (if not all) Vornado fans are currently made in China with lower quality and satisfaction than the American made Vornado's of past, the 660B also shares China as it's birthplace. Luckily, Vornado has done something really right in the design and manufacturing this time - simply put, the 660B is easily the highest quality Vornado I've ever used. There is essentially no vibration or mechanical noise. On the lower speeds, plenty of air is moved with a very gentle sound (quieter and more airflow than the Dyson fan it was sitting next to on the shelf). On the higher speeds, there is a wind noise with lots of airflow. Compared to the rotary switch of old, the new push buttons on top of the fan housing are much easier to use and there is a gentle beep with each press.
Negatives? Being really picky, you could possibly be...
Quiet, powerful & efficient. A well designed product!
This is my first Vornado fan, and I'm already planning to buy a second one for elsewhere in the house. This unit doesn't take up much room at all, but moves an amazing amount of air. It's so quiet when it's on the first couple of speeds that you can barely hear it. I've found that on hot summer nights, this fan works great in the bedroom. I have an older house, and the A/C doesn't reach the bedrooms very well. If I turn this fan on the lowest setting, or the second lowest, I'm comfortable all night long. I can keep my house a few degrees warmer, save electricity, and use this fan to stay comfortable. It really does what the manufacturer says, by circulating all of the air in the room! It has electronic button controls on the top of the housing which are easy to access when it's sitting on the floor. The friction tilt allows the fan to be positioned at infinite increments from up to down. I've been using this fan pretty much non-stop for several months, and am very happy with it.
