Vornado 6303DC Energy Smart Medium Air Circulator review

The 6303DC is the circulator to buy if you want fine control. Its brushless DC motor offers 99 airflow settings, so you can turn it down to a whisper at night and up for a hot afternoon without big jumps. Vornado publishes sound levels of 59, 51 and 40 dBA alongside airflow of 1051, 736 and 270 CFM, which makes it easier than most fans to judge what you trade in noise for air. As a circulator it does not oscillate; it pushes a column of air up to 85 feet that keeps the whole room moving, which suits larger bedrooms and offices. A remote, touch controls and a 1 to 12 hour timer are included, and Vornado says the motor uses up to 80% less energy. The lowest published figure of 40 dBA is louder than the tower fans above it, and the $149.99 price is high. The 5-year warranty helps justify it.
