Reddit reviews Vornado 630 Mid-Size Whole Room Air Circulator Fan

I should probably pull this post for not being Portland-related, but it's really hot and I'm sorry you don't have a fan. For researching stuff like this I really like The Sweethome and its tech-related sister site The Wirecutter

Here's their picks for The Best Fan. I actually recently bought their runner-up pick, the Vornado 630 (although the price has gone up, it was $60 when I bought it.) It's a great little fan.

I'd choose the small or medium Vornado fan before the Dyson. I've been using it fulltimeing for five years now and it really does make the whole room feel cooler.



I'd also recommend:


a washer/dryer combo if you have room.


Square Pizza stone and thermometer for the oven.


LED Bulbs for everything 12v and 110v


Shark Rocket Ultralight vaccum



Water Filter


Better mattress


Ninja Pro Blender/Food Possessor/Chopper


Mini Dish Drying rack

I wouldn't be so quick to dismiss a fan as a solution. I live in Florida, too, so I bought a Vornado Air Circulator and it quickly made that room the coolest in the house. I just point it out the door so it pushes the warm air out. It's noisy, but very powerful for the money.

Smaller, cheaper model that I own.

I have the Vornado 630 and really love it! When I forget to turn it on, it’s a noticeable difference!

Vornado fans- I don't know how they do it, but a medium Vornado circulator moves more air in my apartment than 3 old box fans. They are quiet, and last forever. Don't buy the knockoffs that look similar, they don't work nearly as well.

I used a sleep mask in addition to my black out curtains because they don’t keep all the light out. I really love this one. And honestly you could just just this for a while and throw some blankets or whatever over your windows until you can afford black out curtains. It’s pretty comfortable and really blocks the light. I also have a powerful but small fan I run for white noise and just point it at the wall. It cancels out the construction been happening - similar to this one.

I’ve been working nights for two years and sometimes I am on a good schedule but mostly I feel like my sleep is always kinda messed up. I can make it with to for now but if you are really suffering get to days as soon as you can.

First suggestion is to address the snoring... not only bad for you, but good chance it is terrible for his/her sleep. Tried nasal strips or positional therapy (ie, learning to sleep on stomach, etc) yet? Beyond that there's oral appliances or cpap machines or more invasive procedures.

As far as addressing noise, suggest ear plugs and white noise. IMHO best is decent mid-sized fan, vornado is my pick after trying a few (like this one). Also there are a bunch of white noise machines if you don't like the breeze... probs can find an app that does it over speakers if you want to try it out.

I can't really help you with a clip fan, but I've had a Vornado 630 running on full speed in each of my tents for over a year now, with zero issues. They're very well made. I won't hesitate to buy more in the future.

Are you talking about this? I got one in addition to this Vornado and I have to admit I'm a bit underwhelmed, but it's so cheap that I really can't complain. The vornado on the other hand it's pretty good, but maybe not as powerful at the Lasko that they suggested you below.

This is the fan you want. I had one gifted to me by a fellow fan officianado. It is extremely loud and drowns out all other noise. It’s fan function works well too

One of the Vornado fans up against the opened window would help a lot - I used to think they were overpriced normal fans but they're legit a huge help for room circulation, read the reviews.

It should. I've actually got this problem now. I installed an Ryzen 2700x along with one of my GTX 1080s into an NZXT 200i as a test a couple of weeks ago and it overheats and shuts down almost instantly as soon as I try to launch a game. This is with the biggest AIO I could fit in it along with four 140mm fans installed. With the side off and this fan fan blowing in, temps stay low to mid 30s, even at full load.

If you don’t like the breeze and want to cool the whole room try one of these

I’m gonna get one before summer and from what I’ve read they cool the whole room better while also not blowing directly on you

I This fan is awesome

Like others have mentioned, keep your place as dark as possible, and make sure you have ice in your dogs water bowl.

The Vornado helped me a lot in LA, it felt way cooler (maybe 10 degrees F) after having it on for about 30-60mins

I have a Vornado fan in the mid/back of my room pointed to the ceiling. Room is 4'X4'X8' enclosure with two 300W LED lights (I'll get more watts in the future) and a 6" in-line exhaust with passive intake.

Circulates well, room is temp stable at around 82f degrees, humidity ranges from 38-60% depending on when I'm watering and misting. Tends to fall in the mid 40's most of the time.

Maybe this one? https://www.amazon.com/Vornado-Mid-Size-Whole-Room-Circulator/dp/B000E5WAUO
