733DC Energy Smart Large Air Circulator

Web ID: 18955664The cord issue is terrible
The prior heavy duty fan that we purchased (literally) exploded and blades flew off, so I was given the option of choosing another. I picked this. While it does put out a lot of air and the setting dial is nice, it unplugs itself CONSTANTLY. It seemed like a minor inconvenience at first but every turn on the table, etc, requires plugging it back in to the fan. It is relentless. This itself could be a hazard if there are any wet environments or pets nearby and it falls (ie you move it to another table or simply nudge the fan while changinfbits speed) since the live cord keeps letting go. The fan itself feels much cheaper of quality in materials than my prior also. I would not purchase another, and regret my choice with this one.

Keeps room cooler.
We love this fan. It's well built. It works well and feels good since we know it's energy efficient.

Vornado Fan saved me during a heat wave
My Vornado fan saved me during a terrible heatwave. It provided a cool, comfortable and constant air circulation. It is also easy to move around.

Quality product
Works good, nice size. Using the lower speeds, it is quiet. Little pricey compared to fans at large box stores. Moves the air.

Smooth quiet massive airflow.
I use this in my basement to circulate the air especially when the basement is too cool to run the air con. This is magnificent. Unless you have it nearly all the way up, you don’t really hear it running. Great product.

Quiet!
After having bought an earlier model Vornado fan and being happy with it we purchased the 733DC Energy Smart Air Circulator really for our aging lab. With the increased warm temps this year our log home is without air conditioning and needs some good air circulation. This little machine does the trick and does it well. As stated on their web site, it runs really quite on the low mode and that is sufficient for our dog. We have noticed in the last couple of nights that there seems to be a slight sound now. Still quiet but wondering if we are putting it to the test as upon arrival it has been running with the exception of maybe a week nonstop. We would definitely buy another one and the big added plus for us is that it is made in the USA! THANK YOU VORNADO!

Nice fan, handicapped by a flimsy stand and cable
First things first: DC fans are a game-changer; I'll never buy another AC fan. With the 733DC I can run the fan as low as 5 watts and still get a small, silent breeze, all the way to ~70 watts at full power. A similarly-sized AC fan might only have 3 speeds, with the min at 60 watts and max at 80 watts. That said, while Vornado put together a nice motor and fan housing, they really cheaped out on the stand and power port. The stand is a very flimsy plastic that flexes easily. The rubber "feet" are just tiny strips of rubber with adhesive on the back that you install yourself, and they all fall off eventually. The stand is fixed, so you can only point this fan 3 ways: parallel to floor, 45 degrees, and straight up. The power port is on the bottom of the fan, held in by a small amount of friction. A small bump will wiggle the cable out just enough to cut the power. So now I have an ugly rubber band holding the cable in the port. Why they assembled such a nice fan and slapped it on such a cheap stand--and charged the bloated Vornado premium--I'll never know... There are alternative DC fans out there, more powerful, less expensive, same or better quality, and with more functionality (oscillating, remote, wifi) than this.

Chinese Owned
You notice no where on their fans they say "Made in USA".... because they are NOT. Assembled with Chinese parts. They are deceiving you.
