630 or 660 – Which is Best for You?
Here, we will compare what appears like two similar Vornado Air circulators — specifically the Vornado 630 versus the 660 — but are in actual fact quite different from one another in terms of air circulation performance & power (and a few additional aspects, which we will run over below).
Vornado 630 Overview
Airflow Performance
The 630 is a mid-size fan air circulator that utilizes the unique ‘Vortex Action’ technology to shift a fairly powerful airflow up to 70 ft (so is specifically designed for a small to medium size room) — functioning on three different speed settings with the highest capable of producing an airflow velocity of 331 CFM (and lowest 222 CFM).
Speed Settings: 3 (low, med, high) | High Speed RPM: 1600 | Low Speed RPM: 1025
Vornado Design & Practicalities
It comes in a glossy black, matte finish with a minimalist modern style (smooth curves etc.), so can pretty much fit into any room type and is designed to be situated on a table work top or flooring. Moreover, its flexible, both vertically & horizontally (i.e ‘multi-directional’) so you can direct the airflow to wherever is optimal and is also built with removable parts (e.g. the grill) so its really easy & simple to clean.
Dimensions: 13.6′ by 8.6′ by 12′ | Weight: 5.84 lbs | Grill: 9.38′ | Control Switch: Mechanical
Features & Settings
Furthermore, you will find that the 630 is pretty much ‘whisper quiet‘ when in operation too as well as being extremely energy efficient due to its ‘energy saving feature’.

Vornado 660 Overview
Airflow Performance
Although the 660 is slightly larger than the 630, it is a great deal more powerful. The 660 has four featured air flow speed settings incl. a turbo option that is capable of creating an air flow velocity of up to 584 CFM (and with its lowest speed at 257 CFM) reaching up to a 100 ft, so can reduce room temperature fair rapidly (even in particularly large rooms).
Speed Settings: 4 (low, med, high & turbo) | High Speed RPM: 1375 | Low Speed RPM: 600
Vornado Design & Practicalities
In terms of overall appearance the 630 and 660 are actually very similar (with the 660 just being a little larger and heavier), in terms of their look and how practical they are in terms of where they can be placed as well as be cleaned.
Dimensions: 15′ by 11.75′ by 13.5′ | Weight: 7.3 lbs | Grill: 10.38′ | Control Switch: Electronic
Features & Settings
Again, the 660 is fitted with the energy saving construction components that the 630 is along with the acoustic dampening engineering that the 630 has undergone to ensure that the sound quality and noise produced is kept to a minimum.

The Difference Between the 630 and 660
As you can see from the above, the only real significant differences are in the size of the two Vornado Air Circulators (with the 660 being slightly bigger) and the airflow performance offered by both (in which the the 660 can offer an extra air flow speed setting, is capable of direct the airflow by an extra 30 ft as well as being significantly more powerful).
Which Air Circulator Should You Buy the 630 or 660?
There is quite a significant price difference between the two (of around $30) with the 660 model priced at around $90 and the 630 at around $60. Which you choose, however is more dependent on what room size will it be used in most — if you only want a quality fan for a small room then the 630 will do a great job for you.
However, if you want the air circulator to be used not only in small rooms but large rooms as well, to get a decent performance and ‘cooling’ result there, you will definitely be wanting the more powerful 660 model. Which Vornado will you choose and why?
