In contrast to a traditional fan which brings only cooling benefits when directly facing you; an air circulator works for any season, keeping the air in motion and making the entire room more comfortable to be in… with many other benefits!
Do air circulators cool rooms?
Air circulators, on the other hand, are more aerodynamic and keep air in the room moving continuously. So, rather than a quick blast of cool air when you’re facing the fan, you get a cooler room, no matter where you are in relation to the device.
Can you use an air circulator as a fan?
Convection moves hot air up naturally, so it can be helpful to place fans as high as possible to get the air blending and cooling by forcing it back down. This can include using wall mounted fans, or more portable options like pedestal or tower fans.
Is an air circulator fan worth it?
Air Circulators can keep the whole room cool by creating a continuous, cycled airflow that a fan can’t – and that means you can place your Air Circulator safely out of the way in the corner of the room, or even on a table, bench or stool! That’s a cooling solution that won’t trip you up.
What is the difference between a regular fan and an air circulator?
The difference between an air circulator and a regular fan is an air circulator works by keeping the air in a room constantly moving. In contrast, a regular fan helps cool you down by blowing air on you causing a ‘wind chill effect’ or by moving air from behind it to in front.
Where should air circulator be placed?
Place the Air Circulator near an open window, sliding door or French door to take full advantage of mild temperatures and seasonal breezes. Winter: Position your Air Circulator in a place with unobstructed upward air movement.
Does Vornado really work?
After nearly a decade of testing room fans, we’re sure the Vornado 630 Medium Air Circulator is the best choice for most people. It effectively circulates air in a medium- to large-size room without using a lot of energy or having to oscillate.
How can I improve the air circulation in my house?
- Place a fan as close as possible to an open window blowing outside. This helps get rid of virus particles in your home by blowing air outside.
- Point fans away from people.
- Use ceiling fans to help improve air flow in the home whether or not windows are open.
Where do you put the Vornado circulator?
In summer, we recommend running the unit on “High” and aiming the beam of air so that it hits a wall across the room roughly halfway up. This will allow for the establishment of a high speed circulation pattern in the room.

How well do air circulators work?
This jet stream helps maintain a constant room temperature by ridding the room of cold and warm spots. It also clears stuffy atmospheres by circulating stale air with fresh air from an open window. Pointing the air circulator towards your air conditioning helps distribute the cool air faster, saving time and energy.
Do Vornado fans work better?
The Vornado 630 circulates air much more efficiently than any other model, despite being ¾ the size of a standard box fan. This fan is quieter than every other model we’ve tested, except for the Dyson Air Multiplier AM06, which costs nearly $200 more.
Which fan is better Vornado or Lasko?
The Vornado fan felt more powerful than the Lasko, but that additional power made the Vornado the louder model that we tested, especially on its highest speed setting. If you like to have a fan running at night, the Vornado may be too loud for sleeping. Plus, it lacks the nighttime mode we enjoyed in the Lasko.
