How we chose
We compared the three Vornado air circulators on current price, 90-day price position and form factor, and favored the lowest-priced unit that still moves air across rooms. All three sit at their 90-day low, so price position didn't separate them; the differences came down to price and form.
The Vornado Air 630 Medium Whole Room Air Circulator is $79.99. The Vornado Air 683 Medium Pedestal Air Circulator is $84.99, which is $5.00 more than the 630, and it raises the airflow off the floor. The Vornado Air 660 Large Whole Room Air Circulator is $119.99 — $40.00 more than the 630 and $35.00 more than the 683 — and it's the biggest unit in the family.
Because the 630 costs the least of the three and still circulates air across rooms, it's the one we'd point most people to. The 683 is the choice if you want the airflow lifted off the floor, and the 660 is there if you want the largest unit.
Who should skip these
If you need to cool a single small room, this family isn't built for that. These are air circulators: they move air around a space rather than chilling it, so on their own they won't bring a room's temperature down.
If you're after a fan with built-in cooling, pass on these too. None of the three includes a cooling element. They're meant to work alongside an air conditioner, keeping one unit's cooled air moving through several rooms.
The lineup is the 630 Medium Whole Room Air Circulator at $79.99, the 683 Medium Pedestal Air Circulator at $84.99, and the 660 Large Whole Room Air Circulator at $119.99. The 683 costs $5.00 more than the 630, and the 660 costs $35.00 more than the 683 and $40.00 more than the 630.
How to choose the right one
Start with the 630 Medium Whole Room Air Circulator if price is what matters most. At $79.99 it's the least expensive of the three, and the 683 Medium Pedestal Air Circulator costs $5.00 more while the 660 Large Whole Room Air Circulator costs $40.00 more.
Choose the 660 Large Whole Room Air Circulator if you want the largest unit of the three. It's $119.99, which is $35.00 more than the 683 Pedestal.
Go with the 683 Medium Pedestal Air Circulator if you'd rather have the airflow raised on a pedestal rather than sitting on the floor. It's $84.99, $5.00 above the 630 and $35.00 below the 660.
All three are whole room air circulators, and each is currently at its 90-day low.
