Vornado 660

Functional but very overpriced – Fan works as expected, with basic no frills functions (4 power settings and an off button). No timer, no oscillation function. The good thing is that it's quiet but still powerful enough to give a strong breeze on the lowest setting. While powerful at the higher settings, it also gets pretty noisy which is to be expected. The reason I only gave… Read more

it 3 stars is that it is grossly overpriced for what it does. I bought it for $180 AUD, and Target sells a very similar "Vortex Circulator fan" for $60. While I don't know how high quality that one is, both fans essentially do the same thing. Furthermore, Vornado's claim of "whole room air circulating" must just be a marketing gimmick, because I haven't been able to achieve this effect. Maybe it has to be at the max setting to work, which would be too loud to tolerate. I just point it directly at myself like a normal fan. Overall a decent quality product but definitely not worth the price.

The best fan available on the market, hands down! – I use to live in the United States and over there, everyone I knew just about owned a Vornado fan! Regardless of the model, they have a way of circulating the air and keeping it cooler than any other fan that I had ever tried on the market. Therefore, when I moved to Australia, as my first summer approached, I went out bought a Vornado fan! I… Read more

truly hope that over time, it receives the respect it deserves. It's way better than a Dyson, if the Dyson is simply being used as a fan and it deserves the same brand recognition and respect that it holds in the United States! Australia! For fan cooling than circulates Iike no other! Vornado is the one! AAA+!

Worst ever fan to clean – I would not recommend this fan. It is so difficult to clean. It has hidden screws and still does not fully come apart. It is so fiddly with tiny crevasses that you can never get fully clean.

If you want to move air, this is magnificent. Ten out of Ten! – I bought this a little while ago. I remember being told they were excellent so I wanted to give it a go. I was not disappointed. On the top setting this is incredible. It is as it seems, a vortex/tornado. Quite powerful, if you want air moved at speed this is for you. It has so much thrust that on a slippery surface on full settings it can… Read more

propel backward and dive off a counter. Amazing really. Just pop something under it if using it on a slippery counter to increase the static friction.

It has five settings if you don’t want the thrust of a jet engine. I use it nonstop for days at a time at maximum, it is second to none from what I can see in regards to thrust for size of unit. I use this in conjunction with air filters fans (other products, see Dyson) and the quality of my air is stellar. I would absolutely recommend this product for thrust, and air movement. I use this in summer and winter to distribute the aircon and assist with the air dynamics in the house. It will rapidly reduce your temperature if you are hot in summer. I want more than one.

Well, I'm a fan...! – This is the best appliance in my house. I *love* this fan – sorry, 'Whole Room Circulator'; it's a different concept to an ordinary fan, and, for me, works brilliantly. But I actually haven't come here to talk about the appliance. Instead I want to tell you about the service/support. In the manual and on the box, prominently displayed, is "We… Read more

expect this product to be PERFECT. If it's not WE will make it right".

I've discovered these are not empty words. Like Insurance companies, judge them when something goes wrong.

On my 660, after having it just three months, the circuit board (for the controls) failed. With electronics my experience is they fail in the first few months or not at all. I contacted the Australian support office (milners, in WA), and promptly received clear instructions about what to do. I had to return it via AustPost, but it was "Reply Paid" (i.e. they paid for it). Within a week they'd sent me a new one.

So, now reinstated in its rightful place, my Vornado 660 is merrily whirling away in the background, almost as happy as I am in the foreground.

I love my Vornado! – I have 3 Vornado’s and absolutely love them. The Vornado is quiet and very efficient. I did buy my son a different fan and couldn’t believe the difference. It was loud and annoying so I gave him one of mine.

Solid performer – Purchased for medium sized livingroom. Looks good enough, feels solid and really does blast out a lot of air for a reasonable amount of decibels. You can feel that bit of movement in the whole room but also can appreciate a strong column of air if you hog it to yourself and you will not need to use the higher speed settings if you do that. No… Read more

swivel, no remote, not the DC version but you can spend more to get the latter two. Update: two years on, still going strong.

Love it – Pushes air nicely. I can get the AC to flow into rooms it never affects otherwise. Especially since cold air sinks, and this is a floor fan that can angle up. Only design change I wouldn't mind is it starting on the last used power level. It always starts on high. Fairly expensive, but still happy. Show details

Not quiet – Purchased my vornado after reading positive reviews. Very disappointed. I need a fan so I can sleep at night. This one is not quiet, even in the slowest setting. Not worth the price in my option Show details

Its just a fan, nothing amazing – Purchased the vornado 660 today, 15/12/2020 from Harvey Norman for 200$. Down from 259. Our aircon has broken and we are not able to get a repairman in until jan 2021 and its upper north Queensland so it is darn hot and humid. So we went out too purchase a fan. After researching online and all the good reviews we decided on the vornado. This fan… Read more

is no different too a 50$ fan from big w or kmart. It does not cool the whole room. It does what a fan does there is no breakthrough technology and it is way overpriced. It is a fan it works and if u sit near it you will feel cool air. But any fan does this, it is not any special or different. It is not silent the noise is the same as a regular fan. Regret spending 200$ on this when could have gone too bunnings and got an industrial fan, which would have been more powerful.

Great for circulating air around the house – Our house gets hot in some areas and stays cooler in others - the Vornado is great for circulating the cool air around. We now use the AC way less. I don't find it any noisier than a regular fan just way more powerful. Show details

Super powerful, but noisy – After owning cheap fans for years and then buying a Dyson. I decided to splurge on this fan. Firstly it's a fan and not an air conditioner. The air feels cool because it moves cooler more dense air from the ground upwards. The 4 speed settings are a bit limiting and it's noisy even on the lowest setting. Dont buy it if you are looking for a… Read more

whisper quiet fan to sleep with. This model is good for larger rooms and an oscillating feature would have been great as it just blows a narrow stream of air. Is it worth $200? Well it's a good fan with a 5 year warranty, looks nice, is compact and does the job. So far so good.

Great fan makes my room windy – Yeah it’s real good, expensive for a fan but good. My small bedroom gets windy when this is on full power and I love it. Definitely beats a budget pedestal fan.  Show details

Best fan I've ever had – Read some great reviews so I bought it, cost around 180, worth every penny. It blows really cool air at a good volume in our family, dining, kitchen area, keeps that area a good 6-10 degrees cooler than other rooms in the house on a hot day. Love it! Show details

Powerful and great fan – Varnado fan really does circulate air around the room. We placed the fan in our main bedroom. -placement of the fan is very important to how it will circulate the air -we use fan with our portable aircon, so the room becomes cool quicker. - has 4-speed option. Max speed is very powerful. Show details

Good fan – Good fan, capable of circulating air well. Necessary for summer. At highest setting, it can be a bit loud and annoying. Cleaning it takes a bit of effort. Otherwise, this fan is excellent. The build feels sturdy and quality.

Vornado 660 Fan – This fan certainly helps to circulate the air on a warm day unlike so many other fans that I have tried over many years. I like the fact that it can be taken apart to clean the interior as well. The power output on low is fine day and night, as I have it beside me whilst I sleep or relax in front of the television. Not having an air conditioner… Read more

over these very hot days and nights is a challenge, but this fan is certainly helping to keep myself and my Stafford as cool as is possible. I recommend highly. I bought from Harvey Norman who price matched within ten dollars of what Costco charge for the same item. Not having a Costco near me, nor being a member I believe I have done as well as I could possibly do.

Great fan – I am very pleased with this fan. The way it circulates the air around the room is quite impressive. We leave it on low at night and its quiet enough for sleeping - provides good white noise. I would definitely recommend it and will purchase another soon. Show details

Great fan – I love how the design of the fan. It really circulates the air in the room really well. It is quiet when it is at the lowest settings for sleeping. It is a little pricey and I was doubting whether it is worth it. But, yeah I am loving it so far. Show details

Bit on the noisey side – Bought this fan yesterday after reading all the reviews. Was looking at having the fan in the bedroom or near to make sleeping easier, unfortunately this fan is too loud even on the low setting. So hard to listen to it in the shops, when purchasing with all the background noise. Its a great fan to circulate the air around quickly.....maybe I… Read more

should of bought the smaller version for bedroom but I bought the bigger one to use throughout the house when required. Its up to you as they buyer in the end...

Money well spent – We have a 2 bedroom home, and this moves the air from the air conditioned lounge room through to the bedroom and bathroom area. Keeps us cool to help sleep at night, and reduces power bills by moving air through the house. Took us ages to make a decision - glad we bought this.  Show details

Good,strong and quiet if set at the lowest wind level – Its first impression to me is very sturdy. The lowest wind level is cool enough when the temperature is over 35. It helps air circulation, so you can set the air conditioner at the moderate temperature, and open it at the same time. If you choose the stronger wind level, it will be very noisy during the night. I consider to have another one.  Show details

I'm a fan – I bought one of these recently to try and reduce air conditioning running costs. It's fabulous and works like a charm. I did see in a review elsewhere someone was beefing that it shoots the air out in a narrow current but that's exactly what it's meant to do.....they didn't read the instructions. This really is a top product and recommended.  Show details

Okay but needs improvement given the cost – This fan works but using vortices to circulate air around a room to cool it down. This is different from most fans that blow directly onto you. We use ours by using air-conditioning to cool the room then running the fan with the air-conditioning off to stay cool. The first Vornado 660 we bought had a dead button so we took it back to JB Hi-Fi for… Read more

a replacement. The fan works fine but is noisy at higher speeds as the vortex creates a turbulent shear layer. The fan is designed to sit on the floor and point towards the ceiling on an angle for the best results. This has created problems for us as the fan does not have a child lock - this should be a no brainer given where the fan needs to be located to work as designed. As such, our toddler is constantly pressing the buttons to turn the fan on and off. At least the grilles are close together so he cannot insert his fingers into the fan.

Love this air circulator – I can't sleep with fans on me at night i would wake up with a cold. I bought it last year when i was staying at someone else's house until my house was ready. I love this fan i sleep with it aimed at the ceiling and get a gentle breeze bouncing down and i can leave it on all night and not get a cold. I also started using cpap machine last year… Read more

and i found if i sleep with the vornado on i don't rip off my mask in the middle of the night getting hot. It literally is saving my sanity and health by keeping me cool at night with the cpap. Takes up no room and in the bedroom i only need it on the lowest or 2nd lowest setting. Yes it can be loud on higher settings but i find it soothing. I'm now considering getting another for my new house as i don't have air conditioning. Definately recommend.
