Vornado 660 Whole Room Air Circulator Fan

The Vornado 660 features dramatic gloss and matte finishes and sleek lines. Its whole-room vortex action empowers the 660 to move air up to 100 feet. A chrome glide bar enables a full 90-degree tilt, and push-button controls located at the top of the product allow for easy selection of its four speed settings. Maintenance is simple with a detachable grill that provides easy access to the blades.

Vortex action

All around comfort

Fluid by Design

Comfort should be constant

A Vornado circulator creates a unique airflow pattern called Vortex Action to circulate all the air in the room. The air flows fast, cool and constant to create a cooling experience unlike any other.

Feel cooler, no matter where you are

Unlike whole-room circulation, oscillation only feels cooler when you’re in the direct path of airflow. The 660 provides comfortable, whole-room air circulation for the entire room by moving all the air — ensuring that everyone is consistently comfortable no matter where they sit.

Fluid by Design

The 660 fluidly tilts between horizontal and vertical airflow positions along a chrome glide bar. The 660 further raises the bar with its intuitive push-button controls. Located conveniently at the top of the product, the user can effortlessly select among four speed settings ranging from whisper-quiet to turbo.

The Vornado Difference

AirTensity Spiral Grill

The special twist of the AirTensity grill creates a spiral effect that allows the air to travel throughout the whole room.

Enclosed Air Duct

By enclosing the deep pitch blades in a cylindrical duct, air is sculpted into a high-velocity column that powers through hot and cold zones.

Deep Pitch Blades

Heavily contoured blades maximize the amount of air moved with each turn of Vornado's high-powered motor.

Inlet Air Accelerator

The specially sized inlet directs air to the most effecient parts of the blades to increase airflow.

5 years

Superior support.

When you choose a Vornado fan, you’re investing in superior performance and design that will deliver total satisfaction. If not, we’ll replace it, for 5 years. Supported by a service team based in Andover, KS.

Product Description

Product Description

Born of Vornado's Whole Room Air Circulator heritage, the 660 represents the next generation of Vornado circulation. Immediately noticeable is the restyled exterior that features dramatic gloss and matte finishes, sleek lines, and a slightly smaller footprint than Vornado's full-size circulators. The 660 fluidly tilts between horizontal and vertical airflow positions along a chrome glide. Maintaining the 660 is simple with a detachable grill that provides easy access to the blades for cleaning. The 660 features a 5-year warranty and is supported by Vornado's industry-leading consumer service team.

Six years later…still going strong.
I believe this fan is the best purchase for the money in my life. I have run this fan almost eve single night for a white out noise for over six years. Zero problems. I have to pull out a screw driver and clean the dust and dirt out a few times a year but other than that, it’s damn near perfect. I cannot believe how well the motor has kept up as much as I run this thing. One day down the road it’s going to die and that will be sad…because this thing is about as trustworthy and reliable as it gets and we have been through some timed. Ten out of ten I cannot recommend this fan enough.

I chose the Vornado 660 because it was supposed to be very quiet, and I was not disappointed. On low speed (spec's say 400 rpm and 33 dB), it is by far the quietest fan I every used, comparable to a microwave oven without the hum. I run it at night. It doesn't keep me awake like the old fan did. It also blows a surprising amount of air on low speed which can be felt a good 12 feet away. The only criticisms are: no remote control and the buttons are a bit odd. There is a "power" button and four "speed" buttons. You first press the power button which always turns the fan on high (a memory would be nice) and them you change the speed with the other buttons. Pressing the power button again turns it off. I also would have preferred if the buttons were on the base instead of the top since we leave it on a tall dresser. But it is a "whole room" fan so I guess others will put it on the floor and for that it would work fine. It is well built and has a 5-year warranty so I hope it will last a good long time.

I bought this to replace a way cheaper and almost 7 years old Vornado fan. And the first fan that was delivered had a issue. It started rattling after about 10 minutes of run-time. Not sure what the issue was but Amazon did immediately send out a replacement and we have now been using that one in outer bedroom and it's been great. Circulates the air perfectly and is quiet enough to sleep but also drowns out outside noises. The 4 speeds are great.
I highly recommend this fan to anybody.

It doesn't just blow in one direction, the air circulates around the entire area. Even at the lowest speed, it makes a huge difference. I could not recommend more highly!

This fan feels to be made of sturdy materials, like it's going to last a long time. It's small and portable enough that I can move it from one room to the next with ease. I like that the low setting truly is low. Other fan settings seem to be high, higher, and highest. The highest on this one is as high as the next fan, but way quieter. All 3 settings are much quieter than I would have expected. I like that it seems to have a low center of gravity; I never fear that I'm going to tip it over. The metal handle, that doubles as the pivot point for directing the main air flow to front, up, or back (it doesn't oscillate) makes it very easy to carry and/or adjust. And, it's white! Nice to have color choices. I really like this Vornado fan.

The first Vornado model I bought was a 460. I have broken it and repaired it myself with super glue and/or duct tape (THREE times now) and still get plenty of good use of it.

On the third incident with the 460, I got the 560 out of frustration. I now have two Vornado fans I will use until they turn to dust. The fans will make a decent amount of noise on higher levels (although it is "white" noise, great to fall asleep to) but will truly circulate the air in your human cave, whatever the size is. Even if the fan isn't pointing at you, you can feel the air moving around 30ft away. They really came up with a great design with the right angle fan blades and compact housing. All sizes seem to have it. They move air VERY well.

Just don't drop it. Yknow, like you'd do anything else super expensive. They'll be the last fans you buy.

Vornado's sleek new 660 model is their smallest "whole room" unit I've used. It's comparable to their Vornado 733 (which I've used for years). Besides the smaller size and sleek design, it adds "infinite" angle adjustment, push-button power/speed settings, and a much shorter cord. It's slightly quieter.
See my pics for a side-by-side comparison (the new 660 is the smaller unit with silver trim).

This model (660), compared to the 733:

* 4 speeds vs 3 speeds
* Push-buttons (on the top of the back) instead of a dial (in the middle of the back)
* Infinite adjustable (slides along a metal support bracket allowing pick-an-angle)
* Slightly smaller across the head of the fan, and much less "deep" (the back of the stand is eliminated), so it's much more compact.
* Slightly quieter
* Lower power consumption at "low", similar at "medium"
* Shinier
* Power cord is 2-3 feet shorter.

Negatives:
* The power cord is too short for all the places I've used Vornados before, I had to use a power strip as an extension cord.
* There is an audible beep from each button press, I don't like devices that make noise for no reason.
* Power-on goes to the highest fan setting (rather than last setting). Ideal would be if the speed buttons also acted as power-on buttons.
* The lower settings don't move all that much air.

Unfortunately Vornado, like other fan manufacturers, doesn't generally provide CFM (air flow) and dBa (noise) ratings on its fans, even though these are likely the two most important metrics to fan-buying consumers. I don't have a way to measure those, but I did compare power usage. Note this is versus a 733 that has been running non-stop for 4+ years (so its motor may be less efficient or dirtier than ideal):

660 (1) vs 733 at low: 30W vs 42W
Setting 1 is notably quieter (and less air flow) than low on the Vornado 733. If you use this setting, and the fan runs non-stop all year, you'd save 105kwh with the newer fan, about $11 at my average energy pricing (approx). But this setting moves too little air for my purposes.

660 (2) at med-low: 37W
Setting 2 has some audible noise and moderate airflow. If you used this setting instead of "medium" on the Vornado 733, and the fan runs non-stop all year, you'd save 70kwh with the newer fan, about $7 at my average energy pricing. This setting moves enough air to be useful (but not enough to circulate my open foyer/staircase).

660 (3) vs 733 at medium: 46W vs 45W
Setting 3 has noteworthy audible noise and moderate-high airflow, very similar to the "medium" on the older fan. At this setting they essentially have the same power draw.

I didn't test "high" since it's too loud for me to ever use. Neither fan showed any "vampire draw": the power meter indicated "0" meaning less than 1W of draw while powered off.

If you need substantial air flow (as in between two rooms or in an open foyer, at "medium") and are not space constrained, the 
Vornado 733  will suit you just fine, at currently 20% cheaper than this model.

But the 660 is smaller, sleeker, more adjustable, and offers the option of a lower-powered, quieter mode. All things being equal that makes it the superior choice, and it is Recommended.

5.0 out of 5 stars a more compact successor to the Vornado 733
Reviewed in the United States on June 28, 2015
Vornado's sleek new 660 model is their smallest "whole room" unit I've used. It's comparable to their Vornado 733 (which I've used for years). Besides the smaller size and sleek design, it adds "infinite" angle adjustment, push-button power/speed settings, and a much shorter cord. It's slightly quieter.
See my pics for a side-by-side comparison (the new 660 is the smaller unit with silver trim).

This model (660), compared to the 733:

* 4 speeds vs 3 speeds
* Push-buttons (on the top of the back) instead of a dial (in the middle of the back)
* Infinite adjustable (slides along a metal support bracket allowing pick-an-angle)
* Slightly smaller across the head of the fan, and much less "deep" (the back of the stand is eliminated), so it's much more compact.
* Slightly quieter
* Lower power consumption at "low", similar at "medium"
* Shinier
* Power cord is 2-3 feet shorter.

Negatives:
* The power cord is too short for all the places I've used Vornados before, I had to use a power strip as an extension cord.
* There is an audible beep from each button press, I don't like devices that make noise for no reason.
* Power-on goes to the highest fan setting (rather than last setting). Ideal would be if the speed buttons also acted as power-on buttons.
* The lower settings don't move all that much air.

Unfortunately Vornado, like other fan manufacturers, doesn't generally provide CFM (air flow) and dBa (noise) ratings on its fans, even though these are likely the two most important metrics to fan-buying consumers. I don't have a way to measure those, but I did compare power usage. Note this is versus a 733 that has been running non-stop for 4+ years (so its motor may be less efficient or dirtier than ideal):

660 (1) vs 733 at low: 30W vs 42W
Setting 1 is notably quieter (and less air flow) than low on the Vornado 733. If you use this setting, and the fan runs non-stop all year, you'd save 105kwh with the newer fan, about $11 at my average energy pricing (approx). But this setting moves too little air for my purposes.

660 (2) at med-low: 37W
Setting 2 has some audible noise and moderate airflow. If you used this setting instead of "medium" on the Vornado 733, and the fan runs non-stop all year, you'd save 70kwh with the newer fan, about $7 at my average energy pricing. This setting moves enough air to be useful (but not enough to circulate my open foyer/staircase).

660 (3) vs 733 at medium: 46W vs 45W
Setting 3 has noteworthy audible noise and moderate-high airflow, very similar to the "medium" on the older fan. At this setting they essentially have the same power draw.

I didn't test "high" since it's too loud for me to ever use. Neither fan showed any "vampire draw": the power meter indicated "0" meaning less than 1W of draw while powered off.

If you need substantial air flow (as in between two rooms or in an open foyer, at "medium") and are not space constrained, the [[ASIN:B000MI3HJQ Vornado 733]] will suit you just fine, at currently 20% cheaper than this model.

But the 660 is smaller, sleeker, more adjustable, and offers the option of a lower-powered, quieter mode. All things being equal that makes it the superior choice, and it is Recommended.

Es pequeño, un tamaño perfecto para ubicar en cualquier lugar. Aún en la velocidad menor, el flujo de aire es fuerte. El ruido es mayor al aumentar el nivel, sin embargo, en el nivel inferior el ruido es bastante bajo. Me ha funcionado perfecto para circular el aire.

the plug is american and would need a transformer if it were to actually be used in the UK, which is a little annoying considering the price. Im sure it is amazing but i couldn't even use it without spending more money on a transformer!
