The Vornado 630 mid-size whole room air circulator fan is a great alternative to energy-hungry A/C, and you can get one for $38.99 shipped today, originally priced at $91.99. Unlike typical fans that just blow air in one direction, the Vornado 630 uses patented Vortex Technology to create a spiraling airflow that circulates air throughout an entire room, up to 70 feet.

It blows air at up to 12 mph on high and 8 mph on low, creating a strong breeze that cools a room well. At just 12 inches wide and 8.25 x 12 x 13.6 inches overall, it’s way smaller than a typical box fan but works better than many bigger ones. Its small size makes it easy to put on the floor, a table, or a desk without taking up much room.
The Vornado 630 uses between 38 and 53 watts depending on the speed. Running it on high all day, every day for three months would add about $18 to your electric bill (or $13 on low), based on average U.S. electricity prices. This makes it a budget-friendly option compared to air conditioning, which can cost a lot more to run.
I didn’t really believe the Vornado hype until I bought one. I purchased the 630 to achieve a gentle breeze and cooling effect in my room. I live in the southwest and it easily climbs to 100 + degrees in the Summer outside, and in the Winter it’s nice to have some air circulation so the room doesn’t get too stuffy. This fan does a fantastic job at providing a very steady and consistent airstream without the choppiness of other ‘propeller’ based fans,” said one reviewer.
