Vortex Action Technology
The Vornado 623 utilizes Vortex Action to circulate air throughout the entire room. This technology creates a powerful, twisting stream of air that moves fast, using the walls and ceiling as pathways to circulate and re-circulate the cool air continuously. This ensures a consistent and comfortable environment, regardless of your position in the room.
