 | Author: Atlantic (Boston) - See.. | 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,... | 5 |
 | Author: D. Bergman (Midwest) - .. | 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... | 8 |
 | Author: R. Logsdon "rlogsdon@tbc.. | I don't write many reviews (I know I should) so it takes something pretty special to make me take the time to do it. This fan is pretty special. I use the user reviews to decide on almost every online purchase I make. I took a chance on this one since it had several poor reviews, mostly based around amount of air it puts out.I have to say, they must have been using it for some other purpose than a desk fan. I am in IT and have at any given moment 3 computers running on my desk in my cube creating a stifling amount of heat. I have had a cheap mini-fan on my desk in some form or another for years. After my last one died (probably my 5th) I decided to see if there were higher-quality desk fans out there that were sturdier and less noisy.I found the Zippi and it delivered. I love this fan. Every morning when I turn it on I think, "Man this is a great fan". Since it showed up on my desk four other geeks in my cube-farm have also gotten one and they are equally as... | 6 |
