I have owned my 530 for several years now and it is still working like the day I bought it! It doesn't take up much space and is virtually silent! I love the swirled grill design and I love how air comes out in a spiral pattern! When I put a regular commercial fan next to it, the little Vornado moves more air than my commercial fan does! Don't be fooled by its size, it moves maximum air! I love my 530!
