My single favorite fan
As the proud owner of several Vornado fans that I've purchased and used over the past 15 years, the Vornado 660B is especially interesting. First, as most (if not all) Vornado fans are currently made in China with lower quality and satisfaction than the American made Vornado's of past, the 660B also shares China as it's birthplace. Luckily, Vornado has done something really right in the design and manufacturing this time - simply put, the 660B is easily the highest quality Vornado I've ever used. There is essentially no vibration or mechanical noise. On the lower speeds, plenty of air is moved with a very gentle sound (quieter and more airflow than the Dyson fan it was sitting next to on the shelf). On the higher speeds, there is a wind noise with lots of airflow. Compared to the rotary switch of old, the new push buttons on top of the fan housing are much easier to use and there is a gentle beep with each press. Negatives? Being really picky, you could possibly be unhappy grabbing the chrome angle adjustment to use as a handle for moving the fan? Or possibly that you have to remove one phillips screw before pressing the three latches to remove the grill for cleaning of the blades? Realistically, my biggest complaint is that it takes a bit of wiggling and pressure to put the front grill back on. I like this fan so much that I wrote to Vornado to let them know and to ask them if they would make additional sizes with the same excellent qualities. Their response was that the wish would be passed to their marketing department. If you think you will like this fan, buy it. That the Vornado 660B is also their most efficient is a nice bonus that makes it easier to leave the fan running for comfort.
