5.0 out of 5 stars Excellent personal fan. Couldn't be better., June 10, 2007

By	Atlantic (Boston) - See all my reviews

Contrary to the negative reviews here, I couldn't be more pleased with this fan and will highly recommend it others. The first person that saw it now wants one too!

This is a "personal fan" for those that want some pleasing and gentle air movement to keep them cool; it's not a Vornado air exchanger. I have a Vornado fan and it is not something I want blowing on me all the time, nor is it something you can ignore. Those seeking to cool their attics look elsewhere.

If you look at the pictures you'll see that it's small, it has cloth blades, and it doesn't take much thought to know you won't be clearing a room with it. Have you ever found yourself fanning yourself with a magazine or newspaper? If so, you know that it feels pretty good and that's what this fan does, it provides a gentle and pleasant breeze on the low setting and a much stronger breeze on the high setting. Again, it's a "personal fan" designed to provide air movement for individuals, not rooms, groups, or crowds, and it does it extremely well.

The benefits to this fan are:

1) It's almost completely silent. Read in bed, carry on a conversation, or work peacefully at your desk all without being disturbed by fan noise. it has two speeds and the low speed is almost imperceptible. I mistakenly left it on last night because I couldn't hear it.

2) Cloth blades mean you can touch it, or your kids or pets can, without harm.

3) It's very small and folds up even smaller. you can travel with this if you want because it will fit in your suitcase. Try that with a larger Vornado.

4) They look great! I got the black one, but now I want one in all colors just for fun. It's a very stylish and fun little fan.


The negatives to this fan are:

NONE. It's a wonderful fan. Great job Vornado!!!!

Again, I couldn't be more pleased and it was exactly what I hope it would be. Thanks to Amazon for making this available at a great price!!!!!

2.0 out of 5 stars An Overpriced, Underpowered Vornado, April 2, 2006

By	Thomas Erpelding (San Francisco, CA) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

The concept is brilliant. Create a folding, portable fan with blades that are completely safe for adults, children and pets. But now for the "sales speak".

The description states "2 speeds for personal comfort; Whisper quiet operation". Neither the high or the low speed kicks out much air; just enough for you to feel a very SLIGHT breeze. This unit is NOTHING like the other Vornado models (of which I am a big fan; pardon the pun) which move tremendous amounts of air.

When I wrote Vornado, their customer rep responded, "I am sorry to learn of your disappointment, your expectations were a little high. The Zippy is a cute Novelty Fan, not at all comparable to the Powerful Circulators we manufacture." Yet from their own website they state, "POWERFUL ELECTRIC MOTOR WITH 2 SPEED CONTROL. Strong enough to move a lot of air in a dorm room, cubicle or hotel room." That simply is not true.

Vornado makes great fans/circulators. This one would be a five star contender if the motor were two or three times more powerful. The reality is you can get more air movement from one of the small desktop fans you can purchase anywhere for less than $10 or $15 dollars.

5.0 out of 5 stars From The Minds Of Vornado..., March 4, 2006

By	D. Bergman (Midwest) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

Just got our new Zippi and are very happy with it. I'm not so keen on the name, but the fan is classic Vornado...innovative, high quality, and above all an air-mover. This little fan is for my wife's desk at her workplace. It's perfect for that setting. Very, very quiet with 2 speeds and a completely adjustable fan head for any blowing angle. Keep in mind that this fan doesn't create the wind-tunnel vortex that other Vornados generate...after all, it is a small fan intended for small spaces. But the unique cloth/nylon blades move more air than I thought they ever would. And the 'blades' completely collapse along side the fan motor housing when you fold the housing into the stand, so it is very compact. The blades are also competely safe to the touch on low or high speeds. It also looks very nice. We have the platinum model and it does have some style. It works exactly the way it should work for the purpose intended. And they put a 3 year warranty on it! Vornado has another winner with this fan.
