Customer Ratings & Reviews

Works great, quiet on the lowest setting and still moves a lot of air. On medium the noise is more noticeable and on high it’s loud honestly. But it MOVES air. Much more than you would expect from something this small.

This fan puts out more air and uses less electricity so its the ideal fan. It really move far more air than its small size would lead you to believe, its powerful and quiet even on LOW setting. Highly recommended for putting out more air than other fans its size.

Easy to install, fast to pick up, easy to use, low noise, 3 good speeds

I had to buy this little guy for work and he does a great job, and all of my coworkers enjoy him as well.

As soon as it was powered on, it made a small humming noise with no signs of life. I hit it a little and it started to spin but then the blades seemed to be hitting the sides of the fan. It wouldn't do it at a specific angle, but that's not how the fan was advertised. There is some very shady quality control going on with Vornado. Worst purchase of the year.

The Vornado 533 is small and quiet on setting one. I mainly use it to cool my amps, preamp-dac and DSP. When I want to clear out a room the loud 2 and 3 settings get the job done despite it's diminutive stature. I can't figure out why fans are made with the highest setting first on the dial and the lowest setting last. That's probably because I use the lowest setting almost exclusively. I don't ding the unit for that. It's just counter intuitive to me. Great quality, and comensurate price. I think $50 is ridiculous for a fan this size. $25 for the fan and $25 the Vornado name. Oh, well. I guess it's better that buying a $25 piece of garbage. Vornados are the best. I'll pay the premium.

Powerful fan yet not overly noisy. Weird that the switch is placed on the back leg, but not a big deal.

Does a good job keeping my upstairs a few degrees cooler/warmer if positioned correctly. Quiet and small, no complaints about the fan at all. Price is the only reason I am not giving 5 stars, but all the fans I looked at seemed a tab expensive. If you are a pet owner this is close to the ground and will pick up a lot of that hair, pretty easy to clean though.

Love the fan, it quiet and is small it exceeded my expectations. I have a floor HVAC vent on my second floor. The fan pulls and gravitates warm heated air/cold-AC air it does circulate the air. I have taken it to my office and does an excellent job with circulation.

I bought this a little skeptically, but it has been a great purchase. We live in a small-ish apartment with a bedroom that can get very warm in even temperate weather. Having air circulating with open windows overnight allowed us to wait till late May to finally put in our window AC unit. This device is quiet enough, very powerful, and sturdily constructed. We are considering buying one for our office now as well. Great product.

It’s small but effective. I like it. It cools my apartment very well.

Powerful in a very small package and seems very well made Only wished it had an oscillation feature.

Great fan for price and size. I have a smallish room and it kept it cool for the summer time and it’s something I can run in the colder months for air and not get too cold. Love!

Works like it should. Nice cool breeze at night and in the daytime. I've enjoyed using it. It does what it's supposed to! Which is keep me cool and comfortable on a hot day or night.

This fan does have a strong airflow, and is rather pinpointed in direction. Used it in front of an open window to help draw in fresh cool air at night while AC was down for repair and I'm glad I did. You can actually ricochet airflow off the wall to better circulate in a room. Quiet on low settings, white noise-type level on high, didn't bother me while sleeping.

Powerful yet quiet snd compact. A little bulkier than your average desktop fan so you need a good spot for it.

The Vornado 533 Medium Air Circulator Fan Is The Truth That Shames The Devil By The Utilized Proven Formula Of Beat The Heat, Enjoy A For Real Genuine Cool Breeze !

This little fan packs a punch!!! It's more powerful than the larger size Lasko fan that died on me after the first 20 minutes of use. I highly recommend this fan!

Small form factor packed in with alot of power. Don't let it's size fool ya, it will certainly move some air in a small/med room. On its highest setting, it is pretty loud so beware of you're gaming, don't wanna annoy the homies. This device is very easy to clean when needed, and regular maintenance is easy.

This is a small but mighty fan. On low it is super quiet but moves a lot of air. On high it moves so much air. Other then my Dyson fan, it is the best fan I have ever purchased.
