Dreo PolyFan 513S vs Vornado 660 AE: Which Air Mover Wins?
Vornado's vortex air circulator approach has been a US staple for 30 years. Dreo's PolyFan 513S takes a different route - oscillating in two axes with a DC motor. Both move serious air; which one belongs in your room depends on layout.
Dreo PolyFan 513S wins on oscillation and smart features; Vornado 660 AE wins on raw vortex throw
Pick the Dreo PolyFan if you have a wide room that needs both horizontal and vertical mixing. Pick the Vornado 660 AE if you have one fixed spot to circulate from and want the deepest single-direction airflow.
Dreo PolyFan 513S wins on
- Two-axis oscillation reaches corners a fixed circulator can't
- Smart Dreo app + voice control
- Half the power draw at comparable airflow
Vornado 660 wins on
- Iconic vortex airflow throws further in a single direction
- 5-year warranty vs Dreo's 1-year
- Steel grille construction feels more durable
