Vornado Flippi V6 Personal Air Circulator Fan, Bliss Blue

He says the airflow is surprising for such a small fan.

Easy to use but need two hands to turn on and off.

Im a fan of fans, a connoisseur even Id like to believe. At last count, Ive got 15 of them. Every room in my house has one, some have a couple, with multiple backups in the basement ready to go if needed. For desks and travel, I have a rotation of fans. My main one for the past couple years has been a Holmes rechargeable mini fan...which frankly has been great, but my one gripe was its range of motion while plugged in. So I decided to try something new. I like Vornados, and have a few floor models (None in the active rotation though). While Ive seen the Flippi V6 for years now, Ive never tried it and figured now was the time. I wish I hadnt, for a few reasons: - Its big for what it is. This thing isnt really sized to travel, even when folded away. It takes up significant desk real estate too...comparitively speaking. - The wheel to change speeds/turn off is moronic. One of the illogical things Ive seen on a fan. You have to go high to get low and use two hands to make any change. Its discrete at least, but from a function perspective, its just really bad design. - The disparity between the two speeds is huge. They really need something in the middle because the junp between them is irrational and deprives me of the the goldilocks zone speed. - Its loud compared to other disk fans. Even on low, while its for sure not loud, the sound is more than when youre getting in terms of wind. The high speed is very loud, and its not just the blade sound, the unit vibrates at the base when on high, which resonates on the table and contributes to the noise. For a nightstand fan, the sound is fine and maybe even soothing, but for a desk fan, especially in a shared office setting, its a non-starter. Ultimately, this fan is getting returned. It looks pretty, I love the cord length and the range of motion, but thats all. Super dissapointed and Id expect more from Vornado.

I needed a small fan near my bed (over 60 years of age!!!). This fan works so well. It isnt exactly quiet on the low setting but it works fine. Only 2 settings, High and Low.

Cool color options, good size and throws good air. Only issue, there are two settings. The 1st setting, low, is quiet and throws some air. The 2nd setting, LOUD! There is no in between. Especially for online work, meetings etc. its hard to have this fan running without others hearing it in the background.

Fits perfectly in my space.

OMG .. best bedside fan!!!! Powerful fan- no vibration! I wished I could pack it in my suitcase for travel

The head of the fan is about the size of a baseball. Given my fantastic experiences with other fans from this manufacturer, I am a bit disappointed in the amount of airflow. I realize it is a tiny fan, however, just a bit disappointing……

I like the look and size and power of this fan. However, it need to be anchored somehow, perhaps with suction cups on the bottom. Every time you turn it on or change the speed you have to hold it in your hands or it will jus fall over or off of the table. That is inconvenient in the middle of the night when you’re experiencing a personal summer.

This is a great looking little fan. Not too loud and I fortunately not too powerful either. This fan would be good for your desk at work or at home on your bedside table so long as it’s not too far away. It will have to be close to you in order to feel it. The price point for this little unit should be more like $12.00 - $15.00 max.
