The Vornado 533DC is a compact air circulator built around a DC motor instead of the AC motor in the Vornado 533 and 460. That motor uses far less power and runs much quieter at low and medium speeds, where it is close to silent. A variable speed dial lets you trade airflow for quiet and efficiency, and Vornado rates it to move air up to 22 metres. It suits bedrooms, desks and small rooms where a full-size fan is too loud or too big. Against the AC 533 and 460 it is the quieter, more efficient pick; against cheaper no-name fans it costs more but circulates air further and lasts longer.

Owners rate it highly, with 4.8 out of 5 from 96 ratings. The recurring themes are how quiet it is on low and how little power it draws compared with AC fans.
The Vornado Energy Smart 533DC is a compact air circulator for smaller spaces. It can sit on the floor, a bedside table or a work desk. It uses a DC motor and is designed to circulate air through a whole room from a fixed position, creating a tornado-like airflow that Vornado calls Vortex Action. It moves air up to 22 meters.
A rotary dial gives fully variable speed control over airflow, noise and power consumption. Power use ranges from 2 watts at 300 RPM to 40 watts at 2,800 RPM. On low, the fan runs very quietly. It provides useful airflow with as little as 3 watts, which suits overnight use.
The fan angle is adjustable, but the fan does not oscillate. The grill detaches so the blades can be cleaned. It does not come with a remote control.
