how well does it work when you want to circulate hot air in winter? For me that is the main reason to purchase one.

I found this very helpful in my studio; i sleep with fan all winter also due to stagnent air; but i keep close to bed ; if you use in large room may need the big one.

It depends on the size of the room, but it really should do a pretty good job, regardless. Our family room isn't connected to our central heating system so I use my 630 Mid-size Whole Room Vornado Fan to move air from the kitchen, which has a vent, into the family room, which does not. I have run it on the middle setting and find that it does a pretty good job without blowing stuff all over the place, but the distance involved is only about 10'. If I went to the highest setting, my guess is that it would circulate air in a much larger space, although there might be some noise issues in that case, and a stiff breeze near the fan. Strong little fan!

Better air flow. I needed the best air flow I could get and this one was rated the best and has done a good job. I use it in the summer in an upstairs bedroom that's too warm. I run this unit 24/7 during the summer months to force more AC cooled air into the room and lower the room temp about 3 degrees. No more complaints from the occupant.

yes, they work fine in winter, if blowing snow they may need brushed off, only problem I have had is humidity and extreme heat waves during sunlight interrupts signal on long distances.

Hi, it worked great, no problems. Used this almost every day during winter months.

Rather than a blower per se, it has a circulation fan. It can be heard from across the room but not overly noisy. Also a filter for that on the back of the unti can be washed time to time. On my second winter season with this unit and it is going strong and warms my loft nicely. Much prefer this over the forced air furnace.

It has different speeds and the top speed gives off plenty of air. I haven't used it since last summer but I was happy with the output when our weather was in the 100 degree mark.

Because this machine generates heat (warm air), it probably works in winter only. I do not recommend this to be used in Florida during summer. It works against your A/C. Also, if you are sensitive to noise, this one makes switch noise between dehumidifying and just blowing air, it may wake you up in a bedroom. I hope this helps. Thanks.

Yes my friend-this is the precise reason that I bought it - to blow a light snow from my walks, cars, etc... It works great for light snow blowing! Of course it depends on the temperature when u blow snow, the colder the better=the earlier the better/as the day warms up, the snow tends to stick to things and then u will have to break out the shovel or broom.

It works great, however, if the outside air temp is below 10-15 degrees fahrenheit or so, the unit will not work. So, when it's really, really cold out, for some reason the system has a safety mechanism that prevents it from working. Sounds crazy, but true. Once the day warms up enough, it kicks back on.

I've placed this fan across the room personally and from my experience, the fan does help cool down the entire room as what it does is to circulate the air bringing down the temperature of the room. Because I'm living in Singapore, where the climate is really hot, I usually have the fan faced directly to myself with the AC on and it does get really cold. I've not tried a compact model to further advice but this 733B is definitely a nice addition to my room.

No it doesn't work like a car ac I didn't think the air was any colder I have decided to just invest in a portable ac which are priced around the same price on amazon

My sister uses it to travel to work and back, but she lives where it reaches a high of 100 for summer. It doesn't blow cold air, it circulates what cool air there is in the car. So it would blow hot air around, if you don't have a/c.

I have one and use it often when my feet and legs are cold, it get REALLY warm for me

Yes, that is the purpose, but everybody had different cold tolerance. This worked well for me in a spring about 70 degrees.

Yes. Our fan in in continuous use (24/7) thru the winter months to push warm air to colder parts of the house. It is quiet and efficient and trouble free.

Depends on the size of your room. This unit is not for a small room, infact its counterproductive in a small room. I use this near an AC to throw the cold air across the living/dining area--its a big double room. It works very well and is very quiet for the amount of air it moves. For a bedroom this unit is overkill, the smaller one is more appropriate--however you may find a mulitpurpose utility blower/fan works best. I picked one up at Lowes for $50, its a Lasko and moves a ton of air. Not throwing at a distance like the vornado, but feels like it moves more air within a shorter vicinity. The vornado's rock, enjoy whichever you end up with! Depends on the size of your room. This unit is not for a small room, infact its counterproductive in a small room.

I have/had 3 of these blowers in the last 5 years. (Lost one to theft.) They work GREAT for moving a large volume of air and I routinely use one of them for weeks (all summer?) on the high setting. I placed it next to an air vent on our second floor, in a room that is a bit short on moving the a/c (on high) to suck out the a/c and move it rapidly through the room. Makes a huge difference in keeping that room comfortable. Hope this helps. Scott H.
