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.

Rating: - Fan junkie rates this as tops!
We have seven fans throughout the house ranging from an industrial floor fan kept in the bedroom corner for super hot night to this little Vornado which is my personal fan. I keep this on the vanity & have used it every single day for the last four years with absolutely no problems. I've forgotten and left it on for several days, again, no problems. If you, your kids or your animals happen to put their finger in the "blades" it just makes a noise like a playing card in your bicycle spokes.... exactly like that, as a matter of fact. I got mine at Staples, for more money than what Amazon is offering ... Read More
Rating: - great little circulator
I found this in BB&B in the as-is dept. I only picked it up and gave it some thought because it had the name vornado on it. Even with the Vornado name I still didn't think this thing would have any power watsoever. And when I saw the cloth arms I knew for sure this thing wouldn't be able to blow anything, much less air. Fortunately for me there were power strips all over BB&B, so I plugged up the little fan and took it for a spin. WOW, was I surprised at the wind that came out of this thing. Maybe I started out with very low expectations, that's why I was pleasantly surprised with the amount of air that ... Read More
Rating: - Great desk fan
I have seen some other reviews that are mixed, but the bottom line is, this is a very capable desk fan. It is not powerful enough to move air in a room. The two added benefits are that it is fairly quiet (I sometimes accidently leave it on overnight) and it looks cool. I appreciate the two speed switch on the back and almost exclusively use the high speed. If you want more power you can get a bigger fan that takes up more space on your desk, but I personally am very satisfied. The only things that would make this better are a slightly longer cord (to run through the desk, etc) and a third speed. It ... Read More
Rating: - 100% Excellent!!! Powerful!!! Silent!!! Compact, Portable & Super Cute Personal Fan
I own several of the Vornado Circulators; they are awesome!!! The Zippi is not a Circulator, but rather a compact personal fan. I'm disappointed with the many Vornado owners who are comparing the Zippi to the circulators.
The Zippi is a completely different offering!
It excels at what it is: A Personal, Portable, Powerful, Compact, Silent and Super Cute Fan:
It is Personal because it is meant to be sitting in front of its master faithfully fanning him or her.
It's Portable, because it will fit even in a personal briefcase or even a purse.
Rating: - Broke Quickly - Warranty Useless
Fan was exactly what I was looking for - very quiet. However, after four months of occassional use, the fan died on me -- couldn't be restarted. I tried to use the warranty, but the cost of shipping was prohibitive. Note that several other reviewers had similar problems.
Great idea - if Vornado makes a more durable version I'd buy a new one in a second. But a fan that doesn't last more than four months is a waste of money.
