Vornado Flippi V6 Personal Circulator, Passion

A lot less than I expected
I purchased this fan despite the high price because I have been impressed by larger my larger Vornado fans. This fan does not come close to maintaining the level of quality of Vornado's larger line of fans.

The fan is powered by electrical outlet (not batteries), has both low and high settings, swivels both vertically and horizontally, and swivels completely downwards for storage when not in use.

The key issues I have are-

Air output:
The air really dribbles out of the fan. I had a coworker place his hand in front of the fan and ask if it was turned on. Even when switched to High, it makes a lot more noise but doesn't seem to push more air. The max range that you can actually feel the air moving is about 24 inches.

Noise:
The fan makes quite a bit of noise, definitely not whisper quiet. Its actually louder than fans 5 times its size. I avoid using the high setting because its too loud for an office environment, but at the...

awesome fan!
i typically keep my office door shut to be more productive during the day. door shut = stuffy, hot office. i needed a fan desperately. i tried two different fans i already had but they didn't work out - one was too beat up and ugly and the other was too big. they were both too loud.

i looked around, read some reviews and decided to order a vornado. it sounds like the brand has a good name, and the fan itself is really cool looking. i actually ordered the zippi fan (with the cloth arms), but received the flippi instead! i was a little distressed because i had read that the flippi wasn't a good product, made too much noise, etc. well, those reviews are WRONG. it is a great fan and i'm glad i got it instead.

i have the fan on low right now, about two feet away, and it is 100% silent and doing it's job. i feel a nice, cool breeze. i just turned it to high and it is not too loud for my office use (if you were in a cube it might be) and the air output is really...

super quite and compact
I got this fan for my desk at work where it has to share space with three monitors a phone, calculator, keyboard, pesn, pencils and stapler. i do not have much space. it fit perfectly by my monitors. it is sooooo quiet. i love it it runs all day long. I usually only need it on level one. i am so happy i got it.
