Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Vornado CR1-0094-41 Flippi V6 Air Circulator, Passion Red
Customer Review: Works as designed
Summary: 5 Stars
I don't understand the reviewers complaining about the lack of power. It's a 'personal fan' and I wouldn't want to sit in a wind tunnel that makes my eyes water and all my papers fly away, which speed two would if it were any more powerful. I keep it about two feet from me on the desk. Speed one gives me a gentle breeze with almost no noise and speed two makes my hair flutter a little and it's still quiet enough to be drowned out by the sound of the A/C. As for the switch I don't find it difficult and can flip it with one hand. I open the fan first, hold down the fan by putting a finger between the base and the fan and use my thumb to switch it on and off. The fan pivots left and right, which is nice, so you can adjust the direction without having to slide the entire fan around. It's stylish, finger-safe, and I got two for one on woot, so I'm very happy with the purchase.Customer Review: awesome fan!
Summary: 4 Stars
i typically keep my office door shut to be more productive during the day. door shut = stuffy, hot office. i needed a fan desperately. i tried two different fans i already had but they didn't work out - one was too beat up and ugly and the other was too big. they were both too loud.
i looked around, read some reviews and decided to order a vornado. it sounds like the brand has a good name, and the fan itself is really cool looking. i actually ordered the zippi fan (with the cloth arms), but received the flippi instead! i was a little distressed because i had read that the flippi wasn't a good product, made too much noise, etc. well, those reviews are WRONG. it is a great fan and i'm glad i got it instead.
i have the fan on low right now, about two feet away, and it is 100% silent and doing it's job. i feel a nice, cool breeze. i just turned it to high and it is not too loud for my office use (if you were in a cube it might be) and the air output is really incredible for such a small machine. my question to these other reviewers is how much air do you want blowing on you at one time and why is $25.00 an unreasonable price point for a fan?
it is a little awkward to turn on and off, and requires two hands. also, the on/off dial on the base is plastic and feels a little bit flimsy. this is why i'm giving it 4 stars. but who knows? it could last forever. we will just have to see.
honestly, for the cool factor of its design, the color choices and its performance, i don't think you can beat it. i would buy another one for sure.
Customer Review: ok fan
Summary: 3 Stars
I like the size and the style, but its a little noisier than I would like on its high setting. Even that is not too loud though.Customer Review: perfect bedside fan
Summary: 5 Stars
I've tried a lot of small fans for my small bedside table and this one is the best. It has a very small footprint - a bit bigger than a large coffee mug. It is very easy to swivel side to side and up and down. On the low setting, it does not feel like a strong wind to the face - just enough breeze to cool me off at night. And it's so quiet, you can't hear it from more than a couple feet away (i.e., doesn't wake sleeping spouse.) One person commented about the control dial being difficult to manage: it isn't if you wrap your hand around the base and then use your thumb to push the dial back and forth.
This is the fan you want for those night-time hot flashes, ladies! And it's nice looking too.
Customer Review: too expensive for the output
Summary: 3 Stars
Style is nice...thats it. This fan is not powerful at all. the "high" setting is pretty pathetic and loud. It has to be perfectly aimed at you and 2 feet away. The switch is in the front of the fan, not sure why some people are saying its in the back but its still a awkward rotating wheel, I never remember which way to turn it to off. Like I said, the only good thing about it is that it is neat looking and matches my red Keurig at my desk, but way too expensive for a paperweight.
