Vornado 460 Small Whole Room Air Circulator Fan with 3 Speeds, 460-Small, Black

This is the best fan. Better than any tower fan I have ever used. It’s single-handedly prolonging the time I get with my bedroom window before installing my window AC unit for the season.

I have a 300sqft studio and it gets stagnant. So I needed room circulation for general, coolness at night, and appropriate noise levels for both. Levels 1&2 are good for air circulation with VERY low noise level so I can keep it going and not have to yell to talk to someone. At 3 it does kinda start making sound but still pretty good. 4 or high blows well and produces enough background noise to drown out a lot most sounds at night as I sleep. Very happy with this purchase!

As a child, I loved the summer. As an older adult, I dread it, especially living in the Northeastern coastal U.S. As June approaches every year, I tell myself this will be a bearable summer and by late July, I feel like I am living out a prison sentence of punishment by extreme heat. 2022 has been especially brutal with several long heatwaves where the temperature was in the high 90s every day for weeks on end. It never went below the high 80s at night, so no relief. My rental house is nearly 100 years old with the windows being too rotted to hold an air conditioner or in some cases to even open. Since I moved back to the East coast, i have acquired nearly a dozen fans of all types-box fans, tower fans, tiny portables that clip to the edge of my desk. None have been particularly successful at keeping any room even reasonably comfortable. Earlier this year, in preparation for several months of heat torture, I bought a Vornado 630 for the bedroom. While it did not create a cool oasis for drifitng off to a comfortable sleep, it at least moved hot air around. As weeks went by and the heat waves got longer and my house retained more heat, I decided life was too short to be this uncomforatble and I bought this $100 Vornado 660. I used it last night for the first time on the highest setting along with the 630 on the other side of the room, also on the highest setting. I was able to sleep under a light coverlet. In addition, it was the first time since early June that I slept peacefully and comfortably all night long and woke up feeling refreshed and well rested. Even my youngest cat spent the entire night on the bed with me. Is it noisy? No. Sure, it sounds like a fan but I consider that white noise a plus as I live on a major artery in a very big city. It doesnt roar or rattle or rumble or hum so I do not understand the comments about this being a nuisance or detriment to sleep. Who cares if it has no remote control? Are we now all so lazy and helpless that getting up to push a button has become problematic or a major issue?! It was so wonderful to wake up in dry, not sweat soaked night clothes and to spend a pleasant 30 minutes gradually coming to full wakefulness while enjoying the company of my dear little cat, who also had a cool, restful night. As it is mid-August and the dog days are waning, I dont feel a need to immediately spend another $100 on a second Vornado 660 but I may very well purchase a second unit at the end of the summer as defense against next years brutal weather. Global warming isnt going to go away but this fan can get one through some of the worst of the summer. Worth every cent. Highly recommend!

When was the last time a brand new smart home device worked flawlessly? For me it was when I unboxed this fan. I plugged it in, fired up the Alexa app to rename it, and it just worked, no muss no fuss no bother. It has just worked every single time Ive used Alexa. If youre old-fashioned and prefer getting your exercise by walking over to the fan youre in luck too-- the buttons on top are much nicer than the traditional knob. This fan moves a lot of air for something so small, and it does it as quietly as any fan can... it feels like all of the noise comes from air movement and none from the motor, which is kind of the holy grail of fan noise. The glide bar makes it easy to tilt the head to the right angle, and also serves as a handle when you need to move it. I cant speak to its longevity but every other Vornado fan Ive owned has been a workhorse. I kind of feel like a shill writing an all-positive review, but I really am that happy with the product.

I was looking for a powerful fan, and the Vornado 660 delivered; however, I will say that some of the reviews make it sound more powerful than it actually is. I would have given it five stars, but I am not completely sure I buy the whole air circulator aspect of the fan, in that it doesnt seem to act as any more of an air circulator than any other powerful fan. That being said, I bought it to use in a room that I spend a lot of time in that is particularly difficult to keep cool because it is upstairs and has floor to ceiling windows on the side of the room where my desk is situated. Ive been experimenting with using this fan to move the air conditioned air around the room in a manner that counteracts the heat coming through the windows. Its been in the high 80s and low 90s in Vegas for the past couple of weeks, and I have to say that the 660 makes a big difference in bringing down the temperature of the room (I believe the AC cycles on less frequently becuase the 660 probably lowers the temperature by a degree or two). The real test will be a month from now, when were at 115 on a daily basis. As for the build quality, its excellent, especially when I compare it to other fans Ive had (although at $100, its exactly the quality I expect), but for the price, a remote would have been nice. In terms of noise, its no more or less noisy than I would expect from a fan this powerful and, while Im not using it in the bedroom, it wouldnt keep me awake, as it produces exactly the sort of white noise that puts me to sleep. Because its in my office, I was afraid the noise might get picked up on zoom and phone calls, but Ive asked people, and they dont hear it. I like it enough to purchase another one for another problem area in the house.

I did not find that this fan move/circulated air around as strong as any other fan which was the purpose of the purchase. I do however like the fan for use for white noise. As a light sleeper it works to keep me in a deep sleep. Although not for what it was intended I did find that it worked for another purpose.

Excellent purchase! Reviews are spot on!

Perfect table top. Will be getting the medium and large for bigger areas in my flat. I run hot constantly so they will be on 24/7

After just a month of light use, the fan already clicks and rattles.

I bought my first Vornado in 2019 and a small one in 2021. Dont be fooled by the small size, this really moves the air.
