Vornado 693DC Polar Energy Smart Mid-Size Air Circulator Fan with Variable Speed Control and Adjustable Height - White

Vornado 693DC Energy Smart Air Circulator

The 693DC is the latest addition to our ever-growing line of Energy Smart air circulators. Combining our classic style with a more-powerful airflow: up to 80', the brushless DC motor uses up to 80% less energy, bringing modern efficiency to the home. A return to variable speed puts you in precise control of your environment, and our signature Vortex Action creates whole-room circulation, keeping the entire room cool and comfortable. For complete versatility, the 693DC can also be assembled in two different height configurations: 28"or 40" tall. We're proud that the 693DC is Made in the USA and with our 10-year satisfaction guarantee, these DC circulators will keep you comfortable for years and years to come.

Plug in a Vornado Energy Smart circulator and you'll automatically use up to 80% less energy than you would with a comparable AC motor product. That's something to smile about.

With lesser fans, higher efficiency sometimes equates to less-powerful airflow - not so with Energy Smart circulators. Combining a more-powerful, brushless DC motor with legendary Vornado engineering, our new line of circulators deliver power to spare.

Nearly infinite speed settings let you zero in on your ideal atmosphere. Whether it's a soft, silent flow, a turn-it-up crank or any point in between, precise controls enable you to dial in the airflow setting feels right for you.

A Vornado circulator uses special airflow 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.

"Leaders in air flow technology." Beyond a marketing message- this statement defines Vornado's past, and charts the course for the company's future. The Vornado story begins with an inventor's vision to improve aircraft design in the early 1920's. Ralph K. Odor began to experiment with unique aerodynamics that increased the efficiency and performance of standard propeller planes. After many patents and highly successful prototypes, Ralph realized that his findings could change the inefficient electric fan designs that dominated the industry at the time. Ralph met O.A. Sutton, an entrepreneur from Wichita, Kansas and refined his concept for a new "air circulator." Initial plans to build the new "Vornado" fans were delayed by the complete focus of manufacturing resources needed to support World War II.

As the war drew to a close in the mid to late 1940's, the O.A. Sutton Company produced the first Vornado fans. These fans were well received, differentiated from other brands with their unmatched power and unwavering performance. The early "Vornados" served as the foundation for the company's reputation for innovation, product performance and durability.

In the years following the Second World War, air conditioning became increasingly accessible to the average American. Many believed "fans" were destined to move from living rooms to museum display cases - a relic of a bygone era. This would not be the case, as it was made clear throughout the decades that any climate control system could be supplemented and improved with the use of high performance fans or heaters. After a generation full of innovations, Vornado was about to completely reestablish customers' expectation of what a "fan" could do. Like the jet engine following the propeller, "fans" were destined to be promoted to a new level of performance.

In 1989, a new Vornado company was founded in Andover, Kansas - a suburb of Wichita, known as a worldwide hub for aviation design and manufacturing. Inspired by the advanced propeller and jet engine designs that were common products of the community, Vornado engineers created the first "whole room circulator"- taking the traditional fan beyond its previous limitations. These "circulators" benchmarked the successful design behind the Vornados of the 1940's and improved upon it- adding leading edge design, engineering and materials to the equation - with truly remarkable results. Vornado's unparalleled performance can be traced to its signature vortex action; the result of four proprietary components found only within Vornado technology. Initially applied to air circulators and heaters, Vortex Action allowed for Vornado products to affect not just the air around the unit like traditional fans and heaters, but to evenly distribute all of the air throughout an entire room. The effectiveness of these first products propelled the new Vornado back into the position as a leader in air comfort products.

Extensive research and development demonstrated that "Vortex Action" could dramatically impact the performance of other products beyond air circulators and heaters. The same principles that create even distribution of air and temperature are the drivers behind the company's newest offerings. Vortex action elevates a Vornado Humidifier's ability to evenly distribute moisture levels throughout a room. Because air cannot be filtered unless it is first moved, Vortex action makes Vornado's Whole Room Air Purifiers uniquely effective.

The same revolutionary thinking that created a superior fan has been poured into every aspect of Vornado's offerings today. Safer. Quieter. More intuitive. More effective. These aren't just goals for each new Vornado product, these are requirements. Vornado has demonstrated leadership in the past, and Vornado understands that leadership can only be maintained by relentless innovation. Expect more from Vornado.
