Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Vornado V6 Flippi Personal Fan, Small, Midnight Blue
Customer Review: Great Little Fan
Summary: 5 Stars
Great fan for your nightstand. Very quiet on low, but still moves some air. Very focused, directional airstream. Great for getting some air movement only where you want it. Planning to buy another!Customer Review: Great fan. Disappointing customer service
Summary: 3 Stars
I ordered the midnight blue version of this fan for my desk at work. When I turned it on for the first time it shorted out. I sent an E-mail to Vornado customer service but never received a reply. I called them a week later and they agreed to send UPS to pick up the defective fan and ship a new one to me. After a month went by and I still had not received a replacement fan. I called customer service again and they told me that they had received my fan and were not sure why the replacement fan had not been sent. They sent one to me the following week. My frustration continued when I opened the new fan to find that they had sent me the Rainddrop (teal green) color. I assume that the Midnight Blue version is no longer available but would have expected Vornado to give me the option to choose a new color instead of choosing for me. The fan works great and because I was desperate for a fan at work so I just kept it vs. dealing with the hassle of returning it again. I figure summer would be over by the time they got it all straightened out. If they had given me the option I probably would have paid to upgrade to the V8 version to get it in black.Customer Review: Great for Bedside

I am very warm at night. This fan set on low and sitting on my bedside table is quiet and I can position it just where I want it.Customer Review: It is what it is
Summary: 4 Stars
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)
Customer Review: Love it
Summary: 5 Stars
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.
