My local Marshalls B&M has a stack of Vornado 683 Medium Pedestal Whole Room Air Circulator Fans for $64. i doubt many stores have such a supply, but those that do at this late date in summer should see them go to Yellow Tag clearance at a good price.

I'll disagree. I have this model and it moves a lot of air. A box fan would be a number 1 strength on this - and it goes up to 5

These are whisper quiet and you need to test them out. Yes, any box fan can do, but I needed one for the patio door where I can move a lot of air. This works great!

I have this and mine is not whisper quiet even at the lowest setting, maybe I have a defective one. My other vornado models are all decently quiet compared to this model.

A $20 box fan usually isn't sold at Costco with their return policy if something goes wrong. A $20 box fan doesn't have a 5 year warranty.

A $20 box fan doesn't have the stand. I bought this for a room in the house that has the longest run in the house and struggles even with a brand new AC unit to keep the room cool. The vent is on the outside wall under a window and the adjustable stand to get right over the vent without touching or vibrating on the wall is great. Maybe a unique use case but there are always unique cases. I have never turned it over 3 out of 5 except to just see how powerful it can go. It gets loud at 5 but it can pull and push a ton of air.

This can pull and push way more air then any pedestal or vertical fan I have ever experienced. Can go perfectly in the window old school style. Most Pedestal and vertical fans I have seen won't reach the window. At least in my house.

On speeds 1 and 2 it is quieter then my Dreo vertical fan at max. Which is pretty quiet. I can hear my gaming computer fans over it.

This is a non Costco Version that doesn't have the stand or sleep timer. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=fKaSwggWbyQ

Also true, a $50 smart phone can do 85% of what a $500 smart phone can do. And yet people are still willing to pay $500-$1000 for a better phone.

My Costco app shows my warehouse has it for $60. I wonder if it's actually the clearance price if I go in-store?

I almost got it but I already have other Vornadoes. Also, the aesthetic look and size were a bit of deal breakers to me. I am glad it works well though, which is expected from this brand Smilie

I've actually tested this with the most popular box fan on Amazon vs this fan with a anemometer. The vornado blows the cheap box fan out of the water. It pushes through a LOT more air. I'm not sure where you got your number but please don't make comments like this with arbitrary performance metrics because obviously you don't know what you are talking about.

This is a tank and just requires a general dusting. I get you response but the person you're responding to is as right as you

In the videos I linked the Vornado outperformed the Lasko's and the Air King. The Air King is $50.

Lasko's are fine. They also look like a 1980's fan. They have a 1 year warranty compared to a 5. Not to mention the fact that the Vornado is being purchased at Costco with their return policy.

Vornado has 5 speeds compared to the 3. The Vornado has a kick stand. It has a built in section for wrapping the cable up when not in use on the back of the fan.

The Vornado also has a sleep timer.

The Vornado sure, still looks like a box fan but it does enough in that department alone to demand a price premium.

This version of the fan is also exclusive to Costco. To get a version of it anywhere else it MSRP's for $80. That version has no kickstand and it has no sleep timer. To get those features you have to go up to the $100 model Vornado sells. Granted that version has the one thing this version doesn't. Instead of speeds 1-5 it has a way more controlled set of speeds going from 1-99. ​

Aren't .97 Costco deals store specific? Has anyone other than the OP seen the fan in their store at $39.97? My store shows availability online but at full price.
