Tools and Hardware Reviews of Vornado Compact 530 Air Circulator, 3 Speeds, Black, CR1-0073-06

Customer Review: improve AC efficiency greatly
Summary: 5 Stars

Consumes 60W at the highest speed, but makes the room feels much cooler. Certainly saves a great deal of energy considering that most HVAC units consume more than 1000 W.
Very useful in improving the efficiency of AC units that are installed near the floor. Cold air tends to stay near the floor. Without this circulator there can be 5-10 degree difference even within a 300 sqf room.
It is less useful in the winter (again for HVAC units that are installed near the floor), because warm air is more likely to spread to a wider area on its own as it ascends. But the circulator stills help bringing the warm air from the ceiling back down to the floor.
Noise level is OK, and you can't barely notice it at the lowest speed level.

The most efficient way to utilize this circulator:
(1) After turning on your AC units for 20 minutes, use a infrared thermostat to find out the coldest spot within a room. It is usually right on top of the AC unit.
(2) Place the circulator on that spot, and point the air flow toward the ceiling area on top of where you usually sit (e.g. the sofa if you are watching TV).
(3) the circulator will drive the cool air upward (without the intervention it tends to settle down in the floor area in front of and not very far away from the AC unit), and then slowly descent from above you. And you will feel a lot cooler because of the cool air and the breeze.

Comparison vs. Honeywell HFT114B Oscillating Super-Turbo High-Performance 3-Speed Fan:
The Honeywell fan is $13 cheaper, consumes less energy (40W), its fan face can oscillate about 60 degrees, but you won't feel a thing standing 5 feet away from it. The two are as noisy at the highest speed level. Finally, the plastic material looks much sturdier in the Vornado. Conclusion: I would certainly buy another Vornado if I need a second fan.
