133DC Energy Smart Compact Air Circulator with Variable Speed Control, DC Motor, Adjustable Tilt, Quiet Operation for Bedroom, Office, and Home Use, White

I got the 633DC, this is a great fan,. It's a little bigger than I expected to be but that's a good thing,. it's pretty much silent at the low speeds and it does get a little bit noisy at the highest speed what is really not that bad. I made a video to actually show you guys exactly how quiet and how loud it gets,. even on the highest setting I really don't have to have my TV turned up too much louder than normal to be able to listen to my TV,. the motor is pretty much silent on this thing so you're really just hearing the blades pushing and cutting through the air as they spin so it's a little quieter than most fans,. any fan where the blades are spinning at a high speed will get a little bit noisy though I mean that's just going to happen so I don't know why some people are complaining. if you position this in your room correctly it'll move air around your room like you wouldn't believe and it'll circulate your air around the entire room as advertised. if you don't position it in your room correctlt it's not going to work as good as it could so positioning is very very important, Get it right and you'll be amazed at how much cooler your room feels with this around half power maybe 60% power, at those speeds it pushes the air around a great and it's not even that noisy, around 50 or 60% it just feels like some nice background noise which will block out a lot of The unwanted noise from things happening outside or other people in your house,. I can still have my TV at a pretty low listening volume until I get around 70% or higher on this van and at that point I might need to turn the TV up just a little bit but not too much. but I would say this is about 15 or 20% bigger than the other medium air circulators I've had in the past,. I had a older vornado and unfortunately it took a pretty bad full one day and something happened to the motor when it hit the ground and we had to get rid of it,. it was great until that happened, after that I I bought this lasko air circulator fan that look just like a vornado design because it was dirt cheap on sale and I figure it must be just as good ,. It's always vibrated and rattled and the motor shaft it's still had a lot of play in it which was I think the reason that rattled and made so much noise and vibrated all the time it was a very noisy fan even on the lowest setting because of those things but I used it for a good six maybe seven years, it cooled the room okay but nowhere near as good as this thing or the old vornado. I noticed it was really getting worse on the rattling and shaking and vibrating so I said you know it's time to get something else so I got this and so far I am extremely happy bottom line though this fan is a beast and it's so nice to have this variable speed control or you can set the set the power exactly where you want it you don't have high medium and low you have you know 5% or 10% or 12% or 20% or 90% power or wherever you want to set it exactly to where you would like it. As long as this thing ends up being reliable in last many years I know it's a little bit of expensive but man it's totally going to be worth it,. Is this thing last 10 plus years I think I'll be pretty happy with that, it's amazing that these things have a 10 year warranty,. my understanding is the DC motor that this band has is a really really high end loader manufactured by a really grapes motor making company I guess you would say, I guess this company makes fans forserver power supply and server power supply will run 24 hours a day for years and years and years never being turned off so I'm going to assume this must be a really reliable motor in this thing. I can actually remember the name of the company that is supposedly making these motors but I know it's a very good motor making company. and supposedly this thing saves 80% more electricity over a regular fan which is very nice and I know a lot of these DC models had a external power supply which a lot of people didn't like what this particular model of the power supply is built into the fan itself. all I can say is awesome things I hope you guys enjoy the long review sorry it's a little bit long but I'm very happy and impressed with this thing.

TLDR: The only fan brand I use because it’s the best! This is my 4th Vornado in my home. Works great on the bathroom counter. Keeps me cool and helps dry my skincare applications. What I liked: I love this brand and use these throughout my home. I love the compact size, adjustable airflow, and energy efficiency. It doesn’t take up too much space on my bathroom counter. I’m using this to stay cool and dry my skincare between layers. I like that I can tilt it and dial in the exact air flow I want. It’s also very quiet. And it’s a great value for the price. What could be better: While I love all my Vornado fans, the aesthetics aren’t the best. But that doesn’t deter me from buying and using them. Size: This is a compact size, so it would be great as a desk fan or countertop fan. Durability/maintenance: Well, I haven’t had this long but I can say that I bought my first Vornado in 2012, and I am still using it in 2025! It’s also survived numerous moves to include international relocations. So I’m feeling pretty good about this one. These fans will collect dust so I unscrew the front and use a swift duster to wipe it down as needed. Would I recommend: This is best for someone who wants a high quality, durable, energy efficient, compact sized fan. Maybe for the bathroom vanity to dry skincare or makeup setting spray. Maybe on a desk to stay cool while working/studying. About my photo: Photo shows this fan on my bathroom vanity. I put a little tray underneath to keep it higher off the sink. Hopefully, to ensure it doesn’t get wet.

Small fan, big power. The variable power lets you dial in just the right amount of air flow. Very quiet at lower settings and acceptable at full power. Probably stronger than any other fans of a similar size. It’s a really small fan, so it’s best in small spaces, or close distance. Typical Vornado quality, you get what you pay for. Update: I’ve had this fan for a few weeks now, I really like it, having the variable speed is even better than I expected, you aren’t limited to 2 or 3 speeds, you can dial in the EXACT amount of airflow you want. Most compact fans have only 2 speeds. The lowest speed might be too low to be really useful unless you are only 1 foot away. If you had it on the desk you were sitting at maybe. I have it on the nightstand about 3’ away from me and I haven’t had it above 1/2 yet, and it is still quiet enough that it doesn’t interfere with my sleep. Unlike most fans, the power/speed control is on the front, much easier to deal with than the more typical rear mounted control. Especially if you’re in bed; just reach over and turn it on/off and up or down. This replaces the Vornado Pivot 3 that I’ve been using for the last couple years. This is a definite upgrade.

I’ve been using the Vornado 683DC for a few days and it’s a solid upgrade from a regular fan. It moves air around the whole room instead of just blowing in one direction, so the cooling feels more even and consistent. It’s powerful but still energy efficient, and I’ve been comfortable using it for long hours. It’s not completely silent, but the noise is low and manageable for daily use, including while working or sleeping. Overall, it feels durable, effective, and worth it if you want stronger airflow and better room circulation than a basic fan.

The "old school" DC motor and control knob harkens back to "analog" days, and is so superior to modern push-button or digital speed controls, it's not funny. You have absolute control over the speed of the fan. No generic "Low, Med, Hi" presets or "stepping" speeds of digital controls. The unit is whisper quiet or or totally silent at lower speeds. Even at mid-speed, while audible, it's quieter than most other fans at the same speed. The generated breeze is consistent and certainly aids air circulation in a room. There are only 2 improvements I'd love to see: 1. A rotation option. Though I'd expect this to add some noise, it's minimal, and would improve overall air-flow coverage. 2. An "EZ" remove front grill system. The biggest drawback to this fan, like all fans, is that it sucks in dust, which in time sticks to the blades and all internal surfaces. In order to properly clean it? You need a 1/4" x 5-7" phillips head screwdriver. There are 3 deeply seated screws that must be removed before you can unclip the grill. Then, there are 4 plastic 'clips' that hold the front grill in place. Miserable little clawed systems that aren't designed to be pressured open by hand, and you'll need to slip something under each released clip while you do the others, or it'll clip back into place. Clearly this WAS NOT designed to be consumer accessible for cleaning.

I need white noise and air flow to sleep well. This fan is incredible. Loud enough to drown out noise, or quiet as a whisper. Blow your hair off or a gentle breeze. Tiny size. Solid construction. No rattling.

I bought the 133DC and it's such a cute little fan. I was disappointed to find out it's not made in the USA like Vornado used to do, but the build quality is nice. The lower 1/4 of the dial is very light airflow, but also almost inaudible. I usually use mine at 50% where it is quite audible, but it's mostly air noise and not motor noise. At 100% speed, the fan moves a ludicrous amount of air for its size! It's also very loud at 100% speed lol. I have it on the floor next to my desk and have to admit ITS SO DANG CUTE!!!! I didn't think I'd be so enamored by a FAN but here I am, looking at it and commenting on the internet about how adorable the little thing is. The only adjustments you get here are the tilt angle, and the speed dial. Both are very nice. The dial is a continuous sweep, no click clacks (except at the off position). The tilt moves smoothly and holds the fan firmly in place. The base is very solid and has rubber feet and the fan doesn't make any vibration noise at all. The 133DC has a regular power cord of a decent length, I assume the AD-DC converter is inside the base. I have heard some people say the base can get hot, but I haven't noticed that with mine in the couple of days I've had it. The 133DC doesn't have a remote control, but I think it doesn't need one since it's tiny and it has a very nice dial anyway. The diminutive size means you could fit it almost anywhere, including a crowded desk - but I do suggest putting it on the floor.

Powerful for its size and moves air really well. Quiet, efficient, and great for keeping a room comfortable!
