Zippi Personal Cloth Blade Fan

by Vornado

Product Description

Zippi mixes its classic platinum color, soft blades and two-speed motor with a big attitude to make any room cool. Zippi is small enough to carry in a suitcase, backpack or briefcase yet strong enough to move a lot of air in a dorm room, cubicle or hotel room. Zippi's soft nylong blades quickly and quietly propel the air, but are safe to touch while the fan is in motion. Create the perfect comfort level with the two speeds and adjustable fan head.

I have had one of these for several years now. Its quiet, attractive, relatively compact and it really moves some air. Don't expect this to work for anything else than a few feet away, pointed directly at you. Its a desk fan, not a room fan. The blades are cloth and whisper silent. If you grab it touch it with your hand, no harm done. Also no cage or casing to gather dust or clean off. Mine looks at good now as 3 years ago when i bought it. Also, if you want something that looks nice on your desk and not just a cheap, clunky fan, the color varieties really make these stand out. The high setting I rarely use expect for in the summer.

This is also a pretty low power fan. Last year when Hurricane Ike knocked power out for a week, we used 2 of these at night (it was 90 degrees after the hurricane, go figure) to cool us and powered them off a duracell power block. Perfect solution. This is not a battery powered fan btw, duracell makes essentially a huge car battery in a case you can use for back up power.

This fan is teeny.. about the size of a large travel mug, meaning that it takes up very little desk space. It has a nice long cord, and these three fabric nylon like fan blades, meaning that when it is off it takes up even less space and can be pushed back by my pen holder. I love it.

It's plenty powerful enough to cool me at my desk, and is super quiet so the 6 people I share an office with aren't annoyed by it. It is tiny, and therefore must pretty much be pointing at me from no more than 4-6 feet away to be really cooling, but since I am only trying to cool me it's perfect. I have an odd job where I sometimes have to come and type notes after leading a walking group and I hate sitting here sweating. This little guy cools me right off. I use it all the time, as I like a cooler office than my office mates, and it just works. My office mates love it. I love it, and darnit- it's just a cute little fan for a good price. It's nicely made and seems sturdy and strong, and comes in some pretty cool colors. I chose green.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cool little fan, June 24, 2010

I like this little fan. I like that you don't have to worry about cleaning blades and it's a simple design. Easy to operate. I sit about 4-5 feet from it and it could use a little more power but it's adequate for a desk or office.
