Size and Appearance

Vornado 660

Both the Vornado 633 and 660 come in black, but the Vornado 660 has the option of a white fan as well. The blades on both of these fans are deep pitched as well, which offers an advantage in air circulation. Both fans are also a medium size, meaning that they can easily fit on a table, but won’t look out of place if you place them on the floor. Each of these fans shares the same design; a thick, round fan with a small, circular base. They are also made to be easy to disassemble for cleaning and repair purposes as well, so they have a relatively simple design.

Power

Both the Vornado 633 and Vornado 660 have plenty of choices for power. The Vornado 660 features 4 speed settings. These can be easily accessed on the top of the fan circulator. This isn’t the only feature that helps power the Vornado 660, though. A chrome glide bar is installed to help you manually change the direction of air flow. The design of the fan and the shape of the deep-pitched blades helps the air flow to move in a circular pattern. This helps to cool the entire room evenly, rather than creating a single cool spot.

The Vornado 633 has slightly less power choices than the Vornado 660 with only three speed settings. It will, however, move air up to 75 feet with the same circulation technique as the Vornado 660. The Vornado 633 does have an energy saving feature, so it won’t use more electricity than necessary. For both of these fans, all of this power operates an almost silent level so they won’t cause a disturbance while they’re on.

Performance

The Vornado 660 receives consistently high reviews from consumers who have used it. They have commented on its power, variety of speeds, and some even tout it as being the best fan that they’ve ever bough. They have also commented on the fact that the Vornado 660 is extremely flexible, making it easy to pose in the direction you want. The only major complaint that customers have about the Vornado 660 is that the front of the fan has a high gloss finish while the rest of the fan has a matte finish. This looks gorgeous, but does sustain fingerprints and smudge marks very easy, making it a little higher maintenance to clean.

The Vornado 633, on the other hand, isn’t as classy as the 660. One of the big complaints is that it is hard to remove the grill, making it notably harder to clean than the Vornado 660. This is, in large part, thanks to faulty and confusing instructions. However, if the cleaning can be overlooked, then this product offers all the same benefits of the Vornado 660. This includes being a quiet, effective, powerful, and long lasting fan.

Capacity

Another important consideration for these fans is the air capacity they are made to circulate, as it will help you decide what size rooms they are suited for. The Vornado 633 can move air up to 75 feet and works to move the air in a circular motion to maximize this capacity.

The Vornado 660, on the other hand, has a higher capacity regarding its circulations. It will circulate air up to 100 feet. Like the Vornado 633, it also pushes the air in a circular pattern, to maximize airflow throughout the room.

Durability

Both these fans offer a long lifetime by comparison to other home fans on the market. Rather than lasting you a mere couple of months, you can expect years of use from these fans. There are customers of both these fans have reported 4 to 5 years of use before problems arose.

Cleaning

One important thing that you want from a fan is that it is easy to clean. After all, you want fresh, cool air blown around the room, not dust. It is also important to make sure the motor stays clean to keep the fan running. Thankfully for customers, both these fans are rather easy to clean.

To clean the parts of the air circulator, make sure to only use a vacuum and not any water. To clean the grill and blades, though, simply remove the grill and wipe down the fan with dishwashing soap or dust it with a duster or cloth. However, you can’t put the grill in the dishwasher to clean it. It should be noted that while these steps are the same for both fans, it is more difficult to remove the grill from the Vornado 633.

Warranty

Warranty is important to consider since it offers you some extended protection from a faulty product. Both the Vornado 633 and 660 are protected by the same warranty that Vornado gives all its fan models. This warranty spans five years of full protection. However, most customers found that their fans lasted far longer than 5 years for both models.

Pros and Cons

Both the Vornado 633 and 660 are fans that will last you a long time and are powerful enough that you can appreciate them working. Both give you choices for power as well. The Vornado 633 lags slightly with only 3 choices for power while the Vornado 660 has 4 speed settings. They are both also nearly silent in operation, so you won’t have to worry about sacrificing peace and quiet for cool air.

However, everything has its faults. For the Vornado 633, it is mainly the cleaning that is the complaint, since it is difficult to remove the grill. Cleaning is also the source of consumer’s grief toward the Vornado 660 since the fan’s grill is high gloss and easily smudged. Another complaint about the Vornado 660 is that it is important to consider its size. Customers of Vornado, especially those who were long-time fans (no pun intended) of the company, were surprised and disappointed to see a larger fan that they didn’t like the performance as much as earlier models.
