Powerful, reasonably quiet
I've had the older model of this unit for many years. Time to add another one to my oven-of-an-apartment! Does a good job moving the air, would have preferred it being a bit quieter when watching TV but other than that, wonderful fan.

Seems Durable, Loud, Motor Vibrates or Resonates
At this price you expect a refined product. The motor which is the selling point of this unit has problems. Returned and received another with the same problem. Noisy vibrating motor. Only happens at my favorite speeds. Low/medium and higher speeds. Very disappointed. At higher speeds the motor noise is drowned out by the noise from the fan blades but you can still hear it and feel it on the motor housing in the back. At lower speeds, like when you are sleeping I hate the audible resonance from the motor. I have to run it either slower than desired or higher when sleeping. All in all a quality product but the motor is a significant issue. Maybe some work to the brushless motor controller can smooth out the resonance from the motor. I thought Vornado fans were supposed to be quieter than other fans too, but that seems dependent on which model you get. The 660 Circulator is the best.... quiet, smooth raw power. Perfect from low through high speeds for that model (4 speed). Plus the 660 circulator funnels the air in a tighter column of air compared to this 723dc brushless fan I'm reviewing.

Mixed bag, compact, powerful, noisy on low speed.
Along with all the good things that are said about this fan; small for the amount of air it moves, infinitely variable fan speeds, energy efficient, ... etc. My intention is to use the fan as a house fan to over nite cool the house without using the air conditioner. It looks like it will work really well for that. CON: Bad news at the low fan setting the motor makes way to much noise. Being a DC Brush less motor you can hear the motor getting a power pulse. The frequency of the noise from the fan increases with fan speed. This sounds to me like the motor controller uses some kind of Pulse Width Modulation which is known to make motors noisy. Not only does this motor make audible noise it also makes AM radio noise. Vornado engineers need to go back to school on motor circuit design Recommendations yes with caveats, motor is noisy not recommended for quiet rooms - bedrooms... etc, the fan makes AM radio not to be used near AM radios especially if you are trying to pull in weak stations. I also have a Vornado 660 only four speeds but on low it's silent. This fan was my first Vornado and I really like it. But wanted better speed selection

Now THIS is a fan !!!!
I use this product in my garage to circulate cool air. Quality product, looks and feels very durable. Speed control is like a dimmer switch so you can get the perfect setting. On the highest adjustment, this thing cranks out serious air. It is like an industrial portable fan that is meant for the home. Has style to it and comes with rubber feet so if it is on the second floor, no vibration. MY 18 year old son already laid claim to if for the locker room this summer.
