Summary: Best fan in its class
Comment: No offense, but the previous review is a bit shortsighted. I had a similar, skeptical initial reaction when I saw a Vornado. At first glance, it looked very similar to other low-cost, plastic department store fans. Upon closer inspection, there is no comparison.
The 530B, due to its unique blade and housing design, and superior motor (see their site for details), blows WAY more air for its size than any other fan. Take a close look at how shallow the average fan blade is. Then look at Vornado's deep, sculpted blades. It blows as much or more air on the low, quiet setting than competing fans do on their high setting. It's pretty amazing, actually.
The 530B blows enough air for my bedroom, whereas competing fans this size I have to aim directly at me. As advertised, the fan is well used as a room circulator, in that you feel the gentle breeze throughout the room, rather than sticking it on a table and pointing at you.
People often gripe about "paying for the name" when it comes to consumer products. This is usually an unfair assertion with most products. You are not paying for the name, like you are in designer jeans, where only the name counts. Instead, you are paying for the superior quality and design of the manufacturer whose name is stamped on the housing. Simple market princples here -- if there was nothing to back up the name, the name wouldn't be valuable. They sell at the higher price because you get what you pay for.

Summary: okay, so it's one of these "air circulators"
Comment: This is a half-decent small fan. Nothing more, nothing less. It blows air just like all other fans. Don't even think about buying this fan for a room bigger than 10x10 unless you have it pointed right at your face all the time.
It's quiet on its low setting, but gets noisier as you crank the speed up. Buy a bigger fan made of metal if you want it to blow more air and remain quiet.
It is good however if you are in a small apartment like me as it doesn't take up too much space and gets the job done.
The fan gets three stars because of the price. This would be a no-brainer if you weren't paying double for the name.

Powerful yet compact, the Vornado 550 surrounds the room with comfort by circulating all the air in the room from table or desktop. Vornado Vortex Action provides quiet, complete air circulation for year-round comfort and energy savings while small enough for a desk or table top but powerful enough for while room air circulation.
