Tools and Hardware Reviews of Vornado FA1-0007-06 Zippi Desk Fan, Black
Customer Review: I'm A fan of this quiet fan!
Summary: 5 Stars
I have had this fan for about 2 months and I just love it. It is only effective in a small area, but then that's what it was designed for. I have it on my nightstand, pointing dead at me as I sleep. My husband snores and gets a sore throat when I put a regular fan on in the room, but this keeps me cool and comfy all night without disturbing him. The sound it makes is like music to my ears, it is not only very quiet, but the muted sound it does make is pleasant, like a gentle rainfall. So nice to sleep to.
I think this would also be perfect for a desk or office cubical too. I am going to order one for my bathroom, as the tiny size is very easy to accommodate in any room, even my tiny bath! Great also for a dorm room, cute colors too!
After this purchase I am a true believer and will be buying more vornado products soon.
Customer Review: Great little fan. Bad unit.
Summary: 4 Stars
I LOVE this fan. I do. It's small. It's quiet. It's fun to stick your finger into the blades.
BUT.
Mine started making a buzzing/grinding noise. Basically the bearing wore out. I only had it for a couple of weeks when it started. I found that if I flip the fan upside-down it doesn't buzz anymore, so that's how I'm using it. Upside-down!
PLUS:
Small
Easy to pack and take with you.
Quiet (You almost can't hear it when it's on low.)
Just right for a desk or bedside table.
MINUS:
Bearing wore out in 2 weeks. (I assume this is a rare occurrence, and it's certainly not stopping me from buying another.)
Not big enough for a whole room. (This is a personal fan. It's not going to move air around your office/bedroom.)
Customer Review: adequate personal space fan
Summary: 4 Stars
I got this little fan today and it was a little heavier than I expected since it was described as a size of an apple on some webpage. I have it sitting about 2.5 feet from me and on low and it's a pleasant breeze also whisper quiet. If you read the little instruction sheet that came with the fan it does say in ink that you should put it directly on the person for usage of this fan so I'm not sure where people are thinking that this dinky little fan can cool off a room. Do you expect those small desktop fans to cool off a room? why would you expect this one to?
pros: quiet, small, travel friendly, blades don't hurt at all
con: the switch for speed and on/off is behind the fan, not as a separate knob but part of the unit so it makes it hard to turn the switch without having to move the whole unit.
Customer Review: Best Desk Fan Ever.
Summary: 5 Stars
This neat little portable gizmo is all the breeze that you will ever need on your desk!
It is light and yet sturdy enough to be taken around. With 2 speed settings I can choose the most favorable amount I like. It folds and will easily fit on a decent desk ( for size reference, it is smaller than a football).
This sleek wonder from the Vornado brand will definitely create a good breeze. The reach of its breeze is more than an arm's length. It doesn't create a "Vortex wind" effect like the standard Vornado, but it will certainly cool you down on a Hot 100+ day. Also the best part about it is that it is really really silent. It will not annoy you or your coworker.
I have been using it for more than a month now and I most certainly recommend it to one and all!
Customer Review: Great desk fan
Summary: 4 Stars
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 would also be convenient if the power switch were easier to access and not located on the back of the unit. All these are minor issues that wouldn't stop me from making the same choice again.
