The 660 is a long-running Vornado design and the most powerful fan on this list, rated to move air up to 100 feet with airflow from 1638 CFM on high to 663 CFM on its lowest speed. Vornado publishes the sound for every speed, from 59 dBA down to 43 dBA, so you know what the quiet setting costs you in airflow. Because it moves so much air, many rooms will feel the effect on the lowest speed, where the motor draws 27 W. The head tilts on a chrome glide from floor level to pointing at the ceiling, and the grille comes off for cleaning. The trade-offs are clear: there is no remote, no timer, no sleep mode and no oscillation, and its 43 dBA floor is louder than the tower fans ranked above it. For people who want one setting all night and a 5-year warranty, $119.99 is fair.

Who it is for

People who want a simple, durable circulator for a bedroom or office and do not need a remote.
