Vornado 133 Small Room Air Circulator Fan, 2 Speeds, Adjustable Head, Table Fan for Desk, Nightstand, Black

We live in the desert. It gets hot. FREAKING hot....and on top of that I get seasonal allergies so even when the weather is cool, well cool-ish, I have the windows closed so I can breathe...we run the AC as much as we like cause the house gets stifling even in "Spring". Seriously I measured the temperature, the "Spring" temperature on the kitchen window sill aka the hot side of the house, the other day and it was 103...aggghhh...where was I? Sweaty and stifled and hot... So I like to have a fan going, moving the air, so that in between AC blasts the air just feels better...not still and stagnant... It's shocking how a little bit of moving air can make the house feel much more comfortable, cause if it's not moving I'm inching the AC down another degree. Our old fan was just that, olllllllld. Not classy antique old either, but cheap, half broken, dust clogged (despite repeated cleanings) noisy and annoying. I think I can safely say I used that thing to death. the fan blade broke, the swivel head thingy that used to swivel the fan broke and while it still technically runs it makes a distracting noise...look, it was time for a new fan. This We enjoy the moving air but not the noise of a fan. Also we don't love a strong, whip the papers off a desk and what not fan, that's as annoying as the noise. I read the positive reviews of the Vornado brand fans from SweetHome and decided on this little guy for a new fan. It really is little, adorable as fans go ;) I read the measurements before purchasing so I knew how small it is but can I just say that side by side next to our old Frankenstein-esque monstrosity of a nosiy half dead fan we bought over 14 years ago...this thing is freaking miniscule. I love that, added bonus more floor space! It's meant for small rooms but I am using it more for a personal space air flow cooling kind of thing. Meaning I am hogging the fan by pointing it towards my desk so I have a lovely, soft, cool air movement around me all the time now. On the low setting the fan is very quiet. It makes a soft fan sound of course but that sort of white noise I find soothing actually. It's so small and light I am probably going to cart it around from room to room for a while, though I think in the future we may get a larger one and use that for the main living space and leave the little one in the bedroom or something...I think... This is a first impressions review, I'll update on the long lasting quality and ease of cleaning etc when it comes around to it. For now, easy breezy beautiful little fan! Oh and before I forget I read some reviews where people were complaining it's not strong etc. I think they missed the point of this style of fan, it's not your old school, hurricane force wind fan that knocks everything about the room. It's an air moving fan, just moves the air, soft and steady and makes the room feel fresher and taking very little space to do so.

Perfect small size. My wife is always freezing and I am always hot. This allows me to cool down without my wife having to feel the breeze. Has 2 speed settings which I would describe as gentle breeze and strong breeze. Best of all, this has a mechanical switch, so you can leave it on your preferred speed setting, then plug it into a smart plug to control remotely or via your favorite voice assistant.

Moves a lot of air! Small and quiet enough for the office. Looks great on the desk.

This is a small 7” diameter fan that stands about 9” tall on its base. It tilts but does not rotate. Sturdy design, but all plastic. Your placement is important to move air in a room, unless you want it blowing directly at you which can be annoying. I find putting it on a high shelf, better for circulation than the floor or desktop. There are only two speed settings that are good, but not customizable. The sound on the low speed setting is a low whir with rushing air. You can definitely hear it within 5-10 feet. If you are sensitive to noise, this is NOT silent, but similar to white noise. The high speed setting is definitely audible. You can hear the drone of the motor and volume of air rushing through the grill. Again, not loud but might disturb some people while sleeping. I think the value is in the build quality and air circulation compared to its size which I give an A-. Opting for a larger Vornado model will circulate more air if you have the space, but this one is very good for having such a small footprint.

I got tired of buying the smaller $20 Honeywell table fans that die out every year or 2. and have experience with a larger Vornado, so decided to spend a little extra on this instead. 100% worth it, and it's so much more powerful than the aforementioned ones on the highest setting. It's rather impressive how strong it is for such a small fan. The other Vornado I've had has been running well for 6 years, so I expect this one to have much better longevity as well. My experience with this brand thus far is paying more initially for quality and performance, but spending less in the long run as well!

I liked the Vornado 133 so much that I purchased two in the past three months. The first one was bought as a bathroom fan to compensate for a poor exhaust fan. I often forgot to unplug the Vornado 133 after showering because it was so quiet. The second fan was purchased for my desk in the living room. I eventually moved it across the room, and even at low speed, it moves a significant amount of air, preventing the space from feeling stuffy. While high speed does create some noise, it effectively moves a good amount of air considering its compact size.

This is the second one of these I've owned. I bought one about 7 years ago and it started to make a noise so I replaced it. I could not find anything out there that seemed more suitable to my needs and I'm glad I stayed with this model. The price is reasonable and it's perfect for a nightstand as it's quiet simple and has 2 speeds. I use a CPAP and like to have real light cool air moving while I sleep. Because of my setup, I can locate, tilt and pan this fan to give me the perfect amount of airflow. If you're someone who likes a delicate air flow moving while you sleep, this product is very flexible. On the slow speed it provides a consistent, quiet stream that can be managed with positioning. The high speed, although I don't use it, has plenty of power. Would be suitable for a garage workbench in the hot summer months. Strongly recommend this product.

Great product

I use this fan for two things, increasing circulation in my small bedroom in the Summer/Winter months, and an extra fan for my computer room in the summer. It excels at both of these tasks and is a lot of punch in a small package. It is incredibly easy to move around and is very mobile due to its small design and I have had zero issues with it thus far while leaving it on for days at a time occasionally. I love this little guy and I plan on getting a second one to act as a fan for my computer room so I don't have to move it around as much. My only "issue" is that there are only 2 modes for this model and the switch is on the back, would have liked a remote since the price is a bit of premium over other fans. Overall though, I would recommend this easily.

Broke within half an hour of using it - do not recommend

Tenia este mismo abanico pero una version anterior. Esta nueva version se lo lleva por mucho. Se ve pequeño pero puede mover una gran cantidad de aire a una distancia muy larga! Si me lo pongo directo me refresca muy rapido y hasta me empieza a dar frio despues de un rato. El ruido que hace es promedio pero no molesta. Deja dormir bien.

Excelente ventilador. Pequeno, potente e silencioso. Vale cada centavo.

Me ataque de la risa cuando abri la caja de verdad, tengo un ventilador chico ya marca Mytec y pense que no podria haber necesidad de uno mas pequeño, los uso para ponerlo justo a un lado mio cuando hago home office, la verdad pense que era mas grande a pesar de que la publicacion tiene fotos pero no dimensionaba, cuando lo abri decidi quedarmelo porque es de super buena calidad hasta girar la perilla de las 2 velocidades que tiene, echa mas aire que el mytec que es poquito mas grande, el nivel 1 es muy silencioso y el nivel 2 no me molesta en lo absoluto ademas tengo audifonos con microfono que cancela el ruido asi que mis clientes no tienen problema Lo compre como en 500 pesos y pico la verdad no pagaria mas me parece que quedo justo por la calidad
