Product Description

Amazon.com Product Description

Unlike a typical fan, this stylish personal fan features Vornado-exclusive Vortex technology, which powerfully circulates the air. Its deep-pitched blade, ducted airflow, and focusing AirTensity grill projects a beam of air up to 20 feet, creating the perfect whisper-quiet breeze and eliminating hot and cold spots. The unit flips to direct air where it's needed most. When not in use, it can fold down to conceal the fan, which not only helps keep the fan free of dust, but also adds to the unit's overall modern look. Other highlights include a high-gloss finish, a powerful electric motor, and lightweight construction at just 1-1/7 pounds. Great for a dorm room, office, cubical, or hotel room, the personal fan carries a three-year limited warranty and measures approximately 4 by 4 by 6-1/4 inches when closed and 7 inches when opened.

4.0 out of 5 stars It is what it is, June 25, 2008

This review is from: Vornado V6 Flippi Personal Fan, Small, Midnight Blue (Kitchen)

I figured I'd write a review, because I feel this little fan has gotten some undue bad press.

For what it is, it is a very good little fan. It's very small, and sleek looking. Within 15 minutes of bringing it into my office cubicle, someone commented on how "cool" it looked.

Beyond the aesthetics of the fan, it produces a nice breeze on the low setting, which is virtually silent. Nothing that powerful, but you can definitely feel the breeze up to five feet away or so. The high setting seems to about double or triple the air moved, but it does produce a slight motor noise. Nothing too loud. At five feet away or so, it's just a low hum. Anything beyond that, and you can't really hear it.

For me, it is exactly what I was looking for. A quiet fan that lowers the temperature by a couple degrees and moves air around.

Pros:
- Virtually silent on the lowest setting
- Perfect for an office environment
- Looks "cool"
- Rotates on its base, so I don't have to pick it up to point it in a different direction.

Cons:
- High setting is arguably loud (it's acceptable in my environment)
- It's not a power house fan (if you just had a two hour work out session, this fan isn't going to cool you down much)
- It takes two hands to change between off/high/low settings, since it swivels on its base, and a dial controls speeds (one hand to hold it from swiveling, and another to turn the dial)

5.0 out of 5 stars Quiet operation, great air movement, May 19, 2008

This little fan delivers! I do nails & bought this because of its ability to direct air downward to dry nails. After trying it out at home I decided to keep it here. It is quiet and I found I could raise the thermostat several degrees while I am relaxing in the evening with the fan moving the air near me. There is no "gust" like from other fans, just a gentle, yet surprisingly effective breeze.

This is a great little fan. Perfect size to sit on the end table. Pefect for women having hot flashes as you can aim it right at your face to cool you off quickly. Even on high it's quiet. Exactly what I was looking for.
