    Good Guys Commercial has it for $182.00 if you have access to it.

    • spikiii on 09/10/2024 - 21:17

      was about to come here and say the same!
      I ordered mine from there a few weeks ago at same price and love it

      • sixsense on 16/10/2024 - 10:39

        @puka @spikii Is there any way I can use GG Commercial? Would like to order this one if still on $182. Thanks

    • Black Hole on 09/10/2024 - 21:19

      Is that price including shipping?

        click and collect is free otherwise $9.00 for delivery.

        • Black Hole on 09/10/2024 - 22:12

          Is the availability at GGC long term? How soon after ordering can you pick them up? The reason I asked is because I am heading off for a 1 month holiday early next week.

          • jayz on 09/10/2024 - 22:53

            @Black Hole: I've ordered in store before and picked up straightt away. They can see your order and just pick it for you.

            • Aleigh123 on 10/10/2024 - 05:41

              @jayz: I've waited a month to pick something up before. They somehow ended up selling the item I ordered and that they picked after about half a month.

          • jezza p on 10/10/2024 - 07:29

            @Black Hole: Did that a few times myself. Usually same day. Even if you can’t pick it up for whatever reason, can always just give them a call and they don’t have much issue holding for you normally esp if it’s only a month

    • donman92 on 09/10/2024 - 22:26

      Made an ABN mainly for that plus other ABN gatekept stuff. Hopefully I'll be able to cancel the ABN and keep the memberships coz the ATO keeps charging me every few months for PAYG installment notice despite my business making no money..

      • ironclad on 10/10/2024 - 10:28

        What are the PAYG instalments for?

        You don’t need to pay BAS unless you’re actually running a business through the ABN (and charging customers amounts that include GST) - and also don’t even need to register for GST if your ABN income is less than $75k pa. And if either of those things do actually apply you need the ABN anyway.

        If they’re for PAYG (ie income tax on money not earned through employment (where the tax is automatically deducted)), you’ll get those anyway, ABN or not (the notice just looks a little different if you have an ABN).

        • donman92 on 10/10/2024 - 10:55

          I just altered the PAYG statement to say I didn't earn any money from my business (coz I literally didn't lol) and it comes up as $0 owed. Last time I paid the $1200ish and then simply went to my tax agent to refund it back the next week during my tax return.

    • blazerunner on 09/10/2024 - 21:37

      They move air like an absolute (profanity) unit, hence the name 'air circulator' and not fan.

      Marketing hype? Maybe. But this really helped when I had a shitty studio apartment with 0 airflow and mouldy air con compared to a pedestal fan. Also pretty quiet for how much air it moves (still a bit loud on max though

      Have had one for about 13 years and it still works great.

    • kizzaaa on 09/10/2024 - 21:41

      I’ve had cheap air circulators and recently got a 633DC for $182 from TGGC.

      The Vornado’s are great and worth it when they’re on sale. Powerful, quiet and power efficient.

      It's a quality fan. I run it 24/7. Have to pull it apart to give it a good dust every few years tho.

      Because people are prepared to pay more for a brand name.

              @Aleigh123: There are alternatives- kmart does one. Whether it's built well, who knows. But it'll move air in the same way.

              • kevorulez on 10/10/2024 - 09:54

                @rumblytangara: Hard to compare because there are so little details on the Kmart model. Only thing we know is Kmart 45W vs Vornado 40W. To make an informed comparison, we need to know details like air volume at different fan speeds, loudness, how focused is the wind output, etc.

                  Okay, so this means you've measured these factors on a Vornado or whatever model of fan you have? If so please spread the knowledge /s

                  Do you need every single one of your purchases to be comprehensively tested by a lab and compared to all other alternatives?

                  Get some perspective… these are fans. You're not buying a house.

      Brand name mostly. They do shoot the air across a room as advertised, but so do many other similarly designed fans at a fraction of the cost. These types of fans are very good at blowing air conditioning down the hallway, for the classic Australian "there's only one split system and its in the living room" situation

      • Averell on 10/10/2024 - 07:52

          Kmart/Anko. I think it's AC but at a third of the cost, it's hard to complain.

        • Ezekiel2320 on 10/10/2024 - 10:06

          The "magic" is in the aligned flow guide at the front of the fan instead of allowing the air to blow out in all directions.

          I've had an old black model of this which was quite effective (it is a lot smaller than these large vornado fans however so naturally won't be as powerful https://www.jbhifi.com.au/products/dimplex-air-circulator-fa…

          I have another USB powered vornado clone I bought at Bunnings last summer for about $20 (also small). https://www.theitmart.com.au/products/copy-of-click-15cm-whi…

          https://www.kmart.com.au/product/vortex-circulator-fan-43387…

          There is nothing special about vornado to justify the price

            @Ezekiel2320:

            The "magic" is in the aligned flow guide at the front of the fan instead of allowing the air to blow out in all directions.

            I think it's really in the blade design- size, shape, and mostly pitch.

            There's a huge difference in blade design on these thing vs normal fans- far smaller and a sharper pitch.

            I just tested this, took the front grille off my AC air circulator and its angle of air dispersal was pretty much indistinguishable from when it has the grill on.

            There is nothing special about vornado to justify the price

            Totally agreed.

            @Ezekiel2320: I have the 633dc 633ac & 533ac and bought the Kmart Vortex to see how it compares ……the vortex is the same size as the vornado 633
            at setting 'one' the Kmart Vortex is like the Vornado dc running @ 25% ……. a bit too fast for me, how much it costs to run compared to the Vornado I have no idea ….. other than that it's fine……how long it will last (only time will tell) ……. definitely an alternative to the Vornado as a air circulator

    • Daabido on 09/10/2024 - 22:00

      It's a good starting weight, but try to build up as you work out more.

    • LostyJai on 09/10/2024 - 22:29
      +1

      It's more for circulating air around the room. So if your gym is hot, then it will just circulate hot air around.

      However if say you had the AC running in the room, then this will help circulate that cool AC air around the room more efficiently.

  • yjun355 on 09/10/2024 - 21:58

    What's advantage of these DC versions? I have few of the other ones which are fine. So what's better with there DC?

    • Aleigh123 on 09/10/2024 - 22:00
      +3

      I think the DC ones are more power efficient and you can more finely control the speed.

      • Budju on 09/10/2024 - 22:01

    • fiveunitmaths on 09/10/2024 - 22:10

      DC ones have a physical knob which means you can switch it on and off with a smart switch

      • yjun355 on 09/10/2024 - 22:22

        i see. so not a huge difference

        • Domingo on 09/10/2024 - 22:40
          +4

          More speed settings (ie can run quieter), more energy efficient, can be turned on without pressing a physical button.

          Pretty much better in every way than the non DC version.

          • deadpoet on 09/10/2024 - 23:06

            @Domingo: This. I will never buy an AC Vornado again, DC is where it's at. Superior in every single way.

        • rumblytangara on 09/10/2024 - 23:47

          It's a huge difference with the finer speed controls. I have an AC unit (a Whirlpool) which is kind of unusable in the same room because it's so loud.

        • cerealJay on 10/10/2024 - 00:28
          +1

          The DC version doesn't have the "electric hum" that AC fans sometimes have at low setting.

          My old Sunbeam pedestal fan drove me nuts at night… When on lowest setting, the sound of electric hum was louder than the actual fan blade.

        • yjun355 on 10/10/2024 - 11:59

          Thanks all. Bought it :)

      • boretentsu on 10/10/2024 - 05:14

    • Imposter on 10/10/2024 - 10:12

      Besides what's mentioned by others, it should be quieter than non-DC ones

  • evzboh on 09/10/2024 - 22:04

    Will this be effective when used outdoors e.g. in a courtyard, or will you have to have it pointing at you to feel any air movement?

    • navshaf on 09/10/2024 - 22:11

      Outdoor use is prohibited by government. Since it can change the direction of the wind

      Useless outdoors. It's designed to circulate air around a room, it needs ceiling and walls to achieve this.

    If you're looking for a fan for home gym, indoor cycling, treadmill, etc, have a look at industrial fans from hardware stores instead. I bought a DETROIT 180W 500mm Industrial Floor Fan from Total Tools for under $100 and moves a huge amount of air. I think Bunnings has pretty good ones too.

    • lordezekiel on 09/10/2024 - 23:17
      +5

      The vornado is physically tiny and only uses 40 watts, that's a pretty different prospect compared to a huge industrial fan using 180 watts and considerably louder too.

      • LostyJai on 10/10/2024 - 07:24

        It uses a DC motor so you can control the speed quite finely (says it has 99 speeds). I would say its better, in your case you can run it on a lower and more quiet speed.

  • Bargainendorphins on 10/10/2024 - 06:39

    I bought one of these about a year ago after deliberating over the price. No regrets, it lives up to the hype. I use it in a bathroom without a venting fan, game changer.

      I picked up an AC model.for $50 off market place. Compared to the similar sized bunnings one it was clearly better
      Comparing when paying full price i may not of been so convinced of its value but i thought it was $50 well spent.
      If you have the cash and want a decent fan it will.be a nice addition to a bedroom.
      Mines outlasted the cheap bunnings fan by a few years so id think about one on special again one day.
