Vornado brings air to life.
By Richard Lowry "Richiekid" on Reviewed in the United States on May 3, 2025
Outstanding fan. I wanted to wait until the weather got warmer. I live on the third floor—excellent for winter, tough in summer. So, for the last four years, I've tried to upgrade my fans. I've been successful, but the finalized deal was this fan. Wow! Talk about air movement—this fan has it. The fan itself is really perfect. The base, being a bar, makes it easy to place anywhere and it's not very heavy, making it easy to move around. The fan moves air so well that, with the right angle, you feel it throughout the whole room. Perfect for moving AC cool air. Nice on the pocket. The on/off switch might be hard to reach, but with smart plug technology, you're good to go. But just know, smart plugs won't work with push buttons, only knobs. So it's a big A++ for this Vornado fan for its easy placement, perfect size for a big room, very easy cleaning, and it will definitely help keep down my electric bill. P.S. The fan is a little noisy, but if you have to move air, you gotta make some noise.

Vibrates/shakes at certain speeds. Motor noise at other speeds.
By Al Savage on Reviewed in the United States on March 9, 2018
Pros: Airflow is quiet. Air distribution seems wide Infinite variable speed Can be used with an external timer (can be unplugged/replugged and will start up again) Energy efficient Made in USA 10-year warranty Cons: Motor winding resonance noise can be heard at several different speeds. Might be loose bearing/shaft fit or square-wave pulse induced winding noise. Two speeds cause visible fan housing vibration >1/8" One speed causes frame to go into resonance, causing clicking noises I despair of finding a well-built, quality fan. In ye olde days of yore, the fan frame had enough mass to damp lousy balancing, but the lightweight/de-contented fans of today don't have much mass and it does not seem that any mfgr is balancing the rotating mass to prevent these problems. I thought $150 would be enough to put me into the tier of fan that would have sufficient quality that I'd be happy with it, but no. While this fan, placed on a table top (custom built wood table that is extremely heavy and extremely flat and level), does move the air nicely, its infinite speed adjustability is not as useful as it should be, because I have to tune the speed to eliminate noise and vibration. I'm going to keep it, because it works well with an external timer that has large buttons for people with limited dexterity. [This is the reason I'm not using, say, a Dyson AM06: timer function via IR remote only with tiny membrane switch buttons that cannot be operated unless you have fine motor control. Membrane switches are one of the least-reliable things manufactured, and not durable at all unless you push with a finger and exactly at right-angle to the switch plane: junk. And, I can't use an external timer because: electronic controls will not start at the same status when depowered/repowered. Turn it on, unplug, replug: fan remains off.] But I'm not going to pretend that I'm happy with the 723DC. I would pay twice as much for a similar fan with infinite speed control that was similarly quiet and had no membrane or tactile switches, that could be unplugged while running and restart when replugged. Alas, true quality has deserted us.
