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 ... 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.
Rating: - Solved a problem...quietly.
I picked this fan because the description said it was whisper quiet, and it is. My problem was that, according to the manual, my new AV receiver needed 8 inches of overhead clearance for proper heat dispersal. Unfortunately, my sound system rack only has about 2" of clearance, and there was no doubt I was getting heat build up.
This little fan solved that problem. In the beginning I was trying to remember to turn it off with the system, but it's so quiet we usually forgot. Now we've just decided to leave it on all the time. It doesn't produce a hurricane, but it moves plenty of ... Read More
Rating: - Great Little Fan
I have had this fan on my desk for about a month. It is small, well-constructed, and I love the soft blades. It is very quiet and circulates the air "just enough". It's not a high-powered fan but blows a soft breeze. I use it to circulate the air in my small office. I love the aesthetic design and color (I have orange). Over all it is a great little fan.
