Amazon.com Review: Quiet, stylish, and built of durable plastic, this big device circulates air throughout the largest rooms at home or at the office. Use it alone or with an air conditioner to cool down in the summer and to circulate heat evenly throughout a room in the winter. Its powerful 112-watt motor combines with a deep-pitch propeller and a cunning grill design to move air in a tight beam up to 75 feet. For moving air up or down a stairwell or circulating air from floor to ceiling, the head pivots from an angle slightly below horizontal to straight up. It has infinitely variable speed control, from low through high. The circulator stands 16 inches high, has a 15-1/2-inch-diameter head, and weighs 12 pounds. --Fred Brack

Rating: - One of the best fans I have ever owned
This fan is absolutely the best fan I have ever owned. I used this fan to push the air around my house for proper ventilation of the air conditioning and heating. I used to have to huddle up near the vent to get some heat or air. Or even have to crank the A/C up pretty high to get it feeling comfortable. Now, I can just place the fan in a spot in my house and turn it on and my house feels so good. I am not sure of the amount I save on electricity, but my bills have gone down.
Rating: - The best money can buy
This is our third Vornado unit. We bought a Vornado heater to take the chill off the kitchen in the winter, and a small Vornado fan to help circulate air in the kitchen area during our very hot summers and the last one is the larger one that we use in our exercise room. They are the best but buying factory reconditioned units makes them all the better.
Rating: - Great air circulation in an unbulky unit!
This fan singlehandedly got rid of the terrible stink from the gentle persons tarring a large roof across the street. They have been working on this roof and unfortunately constantly retarring it for weeks!! I have finally got relief without having to use the A/C to filter out the tar smell. This Vornado makes my livingroom feel absolutely delightful!! I have the smaller Vornado air circulator (pedestal model) in the foyer and this larger one in the living room. It is fairly hot and muggy out but my apartment (which is large) is very comfortable, even without putting any of the A/C units on.
Rating: - This fan really moves air!
I can't say enough good things about Vornado fans.
I have the small (500 series) and medium (600 series) Vornado fans and tried out a 750B that belongs to a friend. Even the 510 is powerful, and the 750B goes well beyond the two smaller size fans in power. Turned as low as it will go, it still creates quite a breeze 10 feet away (same as 510 on medium or high), and moves air in a wider swatch so it would better cool everyone sitting on a couch or at a table, not just one or two people it's pointed directly at (as the 500 is better suited for). The 750B would also be ideal if you wanted ... Read More
Rating: - Really cools down a room!!
I bought one of these for my son's bedroom because on a hot day it is like being in an oven. We tried box fans, window fans, and ocillating fans and none of them provided much relief. Needless to say, by the time I came across the Vornado I was a bit skeptical about how effective it would be, but decided to try it anyway. Boy am I glad I did!!! I cannot believe the difference in room temperature after the Vornado has been running a few minutes!! It is truly remarkable. One day my husband was cooking a roast in the oven and burnt it so badly that smoke began to permeate the whole house. I set ... Read More
