A Compact, Efficient, & Quiet Fan
The Vornado Energy Smart 533DC air circulator is the perfect fan for smaller spaces. Place it on your floor, bedside table, or at your work desk.
- Uses up to 80% less energy than regular AC fans, including the Vornado 533 and Vornado 460 (non-DC models).
- It comes with a standard power plug and lead.
- Moves air up to 22 metres.
- Variable speed dial for complete control of airflow, noise, and power consumption.
- Whisper quiet cooling on low - ideal for night-time usage.
We sell the Vornado 533DC (pictured on the left), not to be confused with the sometimes cheaper but poorer performing Vornado 533 and Vornado 460 (pictured on the right).
Vornado 533DC vs Vornado 533 & Vornado 460
If you're confused by the Vornado range - you're not alone. We only sell the Vornado Energy Smart DC fans. They're better than the AC models in three key ways:
- They use substantially less power, so they cost way less to operate.
- They are much quieter at low and medium speeds. At low speeds, they are practically silent.
- They have a fully variable speed dial rather than just three discrete speed settings on the AC models.
Vornado 533DC - a Better Way to Keep Cool
The Vornado Energy Smart compact fan features:
- Efficient DC motor technology - uses between 2 watts of power (300 RPM) and 40 watts on max (2,800 RPM).
- Provides whole-room air circulation - see below.
- Quality guaranteed - backed by a 5-year warranty.
Unlike regular portable fans, Vornado fans are designed to provide whole-room circulation. They call the resulting tornado-like airflow "Vortex Action."
Save Energy & Sleep Well
Many people find a nearby portable fan can help them sleep. This includes both hot sleepers and those who benefit from some level of white noise. With the Vornado 533DC’s precise speed control, just the right level of airflow or white noise can be set.
For overnight use, the energy savings really add up too. The Vornado 533DC provides useful airflow with as little as 3 watts of power. This is far less than the 30 watts (or more) used by typical AC fans on their lowest setting.
The Vornado DC Fan is both effective and unobtrusive.
