Exceptionally efficient. Unobtrusive styling, delightfully quiet on lower settings, not obnoxiously loud on high. Easily moved with a well placed handhold. Energy savings is greatly appreciated.

Disappointed - loud as a conven. fan and connector fell out
I originally purchased the larger model of this fan and was quite impressed at its quietness and quality. Given that experience, I ordered this smaller model. Was disappointed to discover that the electrical connection on the bottom of the fan fell out on assembly, and on turning it on, I discovered that it is as loud as a conventional fan, even at lower levels.

Good product but noisy
I love how well this fan circulates air in my bedroom. It's very lightweight and keeps a low profile. My only issue with it is that it frequently makes a high pitched whirring noise on any level over 50. Considering that I bought this fan specifically to help cool my bedroom during the summer nights here in California, this is a very annoying issue. It's woken me up on several occasions. So far the only solutios that have worked are: (a) keep the speed setting low, which limits how well it cools the room, or (b) keep it off at night, which defeats the purpose of having it in my bedroom.

Okay, but not what I expected
I've sworn by Vornado fans and humidifiers for decades. In fact, my fans are all decades old and still performing strongly and quietly. I purchased the NGT33DC to circulate the air in an exercise loft above my bedroom, where of course the warm air rises. Whereas Vornado's fans have a cone-shaped air-circulating profile, the circulator has a very narrow profile. It cools the immediate area a bit, but certainly not the entire space. And while the fans have a low sound, the NGT33DC has a high, whiny sound and is not at all what I would describe as quiet. Luckily, the fan-wheel on my rowing machine drowns it out when I'm rowing. So does the FM radio if I turn the sound up enough. I don't think this is an improvement on Vornado's excellent fans.

Absolute Necessity for my Family
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] Since we have received the Vornado Energy Smart Tower Circulator, my family has absolutely LOVED it! We haven't gone a day without using it, and it is probably one of the best, recent items we have in our home as of now. When it arrived, I was so nervous it would be super heavy, bulky, and gaudy. However, it was very light, has a nice sleek design, and doesn't take up much room at all. It was extremely easy to put together (just base parts to main circulator and cords!) We love the simple "touchscreen" style tapping for turning the unit on and off, and adjusting the power of the fan. We currently switch it back and forth between our living room, bedroom, and playroom. It 100% circulates the air better, faster, and cools down a room so quickly as well. I do not worry having it in the playroom with my 4 year old because Vornado had safety in mind while creating this product! There is nothing to harm my child or anyone on this circulator and it is easy for children to use and operate as well. I will mention that the air circulation noise is relatively loud, especially if you blast it high (settings for 60 to 99). It is not a problem for us with the noise because we enjoy it! We use the hum of a fan to sleep with at night anyway, and this has become an even better replacement than a regular stand up or small fan. We are sleeping so much better and the room is cooler at night because of the circulator. We go on vacation very soon and have decided to take this instead of our stand up fan!! I am extremely excited to see how it works in our beach house with the excess humidity. I am sure we will be traveling with it during other vacations instead of an awkward stand up fan. The great thing is that it comes apart easily and fits simply in our car with no issues/bending/taking up much needed room. Overall we LOVE Vornado and their products! I don't think I have ever been as satisfied with an item before this Vornado Energy Smart Tower Circulator. Five star product!!

Not a fan, better
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This air circulator should not be confused with a fan. I was a bit skeptical at first, but it really works much better than a traditional fan. First of all, the design and aesthetics are very appealing and it looks good in most any room. The air velocity is adjustable from a gentle breeze to a full on blast of air. It's also almost silent at the lower settings where it will be set most of the time and not objectionable at the higher settings. The pattern of the air being discharged is also adjustable from a narrow beam to a wide spread fan. Similar to the operation of a ceiling fan, the air flow is designed to originate from the unit, travel the length of the room where upon hitting a wall, is redirected back toward the unit moving around most of the air in the room. It really does work when set up properly after you experiment with the settings and placement to achieve the desired results. I'm using this in my office space, where a few of us are semi cube style in a larger room. The air circulates and the stale, stuffy air is gone. I also like the timer function and remote control feature. Well worth it's cost as it's a work horse, well made and has a 10 year guarantee.

Powerful yet quiet fan
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] I used the Vornado Energy Smart Tower Circulator in my bedroom instead of the Honeywell fan that I have been using for the past three years. The Vornado Energy Smart Tower Circulator is a powerful yet quiet fan. I love the remote and the fact that the Vornado has 99 different speeds. The only downside to the Vornado would have to be how "touchy" the display buttons are to adjust the speed. It was almost impossible to get the settings I wanted and I found it much easier to use the remote. The Vornado Energy Smart Tower Circulator does an excellent job of circulating the air throughout the entire room. The design is sleek and modern. I would definitely purchase another Vornado in the future.

Excellent airflow control from gentle breeze to tornado.
[This review was collected as part of a promotion.] This Vornado NGT33DC tower is one powerful fan! The best part is that you have a very granular level of control over the fan speed (from 1-100.) I set this up in a 300sqft room and usually keep it on about 30. It can get loud when you turn it up to 100 but boy can it move some air! I think this could easily cool a 1,000sqft room. My only gripes are that the direction of the air is controlled by a manual turn dial (straight jet or V-spread,) not by the remote control, and there is no oscillation feature. Even with the air direction spread out, the coverage area is not very wide. So when my wife and I are sitting on the couch, 8-10 ft away from the fan, the air is hitting one of us or the other, not both.
