They're just called fans.

It's funny, it hasn't even been a particularly hot summer, yet fans have been flying... ehrr, blowing off store shelves like toilet paper from 2 months ago. I have a couple Vornados, and they're generally good fans with a great warranty. Given this price range, though, I wanted to add that I just bought one of those Woozoo remote control globe fans from Costco (based partially on a recommendation from another SD'er) and that fan is by far the best fan I've purchased. It's a Costco product, so there's no shilling... $45 in store and $50 online (sells for about $70 - $80 most everywhere else). It also oscillates up and down as well as right in left... and on low, it's just about silent. Even on high, it makes about the same amount or less noise than my Vornado (the better one) on low. At $45, I'd consider 2 of those as opposed to one of these.

Depends on how much you expect to use it on the lower settings. I plugged in some numbers, and assuming 30 watts/hr saved at 2hr/day at 15c/kWh, that's 10 years to recoup the $30 difference. Of course, with the shorter warranty, the cheaper one might be broken by then

Nope. This is an "air circulator" which you're not really supposed to point directly at yourself (although nothing stopping you if you want). You're supposed to angle the air circulator so that it swirls the air and moves it around the entire room, and not just one singular cone of air movement that a typical fan would yield.

When it is kinda hot (humid high 70s up to low to mid 80s), I can get by with just these vornados. When it's very hot, I use the Vornado to move around the cool air from my window AC unit.

Even an oscillating fan doesn't move the air around as good as these.
Very cool. Never heard of this. Thanks for the easy explanation!

Just want to report that upon checkout, I am looking at a $7.54 tax to NYC. I think I'll still pull the trigger, but it just dampens the deal.

I feel your pain. I got the Vornado from Costco for $100. I'm debating... a bit overpriced and then the tax ugh. But one slickdeal said it's better than buying 3 or more $20 fans that will break

Vornado brand has put out some of the best fans I've ever owned. I will get one of these to see if the quality has gone down at all over the years.

I can confirm firm that the Vornados with a dial retain memory for smart plug usage.
Was looking for this, repped!

Yeah, I put my 630 (ac version) on the nightstand to make white noise for loud neighbors. Having this in the room is pretty much the same as a ceiling fan air flow wise.

Quote from mkenomad :
Not asking this in an antagonistic way. Why do people buy an $85 fan? Doesn't it just blow air at you like any other fan?
Because the amount of air circulation you get is not reachable with a cheaper fan. In college (25 years ago) I had a box fan, tabletop fan, etc. but I was still not satisfied. However I went into the room of my neighbor and saw this black fan on the ground and my life was changed. Maybe now, there are other manufacturers that can do this (not my dyson), but since I'm old and lazy and Vornado has always treated me right I'm sticking with them.

6303 has a remote, a little stronger but i think changing the speed is slower than just changing the dial.

Quote from Fondgain :
What makes this fan special is the infinite Variable Speed Control which means you can set the fan speed at any level just like a volume control on a radio rather than just having 2 or 3 speed settings. Variable speed on fans is not that common.

633DC
Low Speed: 400 rpm
High Speed: 1800 rpm

​I do agree about the price. it can be a little less expensive.
yep the bonus is if you point it directly at yourself you can dial it just right, cheap fans are always too low or too high.
