 - Vornado Should be Ashamed!Vornado is known for its powerful fans. I have one that blows more air than three regular fans. So, I felt it was safe to buy this personal fan that is supposed to blow air over 20 feet. NOT! 5 feet at the most and not very much even if you are right next to it. It is at best a weak desk fan and at worst a paper weight. On low speed, you really can't feel it at all. But even as a desk fan, it is way overpriced. I've had cheap handheld battery fans that do more. Rating: - Don't Waste Your Money on this Desktop FanIn a nutshell, the Vornado V6 Flippi Personal Fan has a noisy fan motor that produces very little airflow. Don't waste your money on this fan. There are better alternatives. In my opinion, the very best desktop fan, by far, is the Caframo Chinook which sells for about the same price. The two-speed Caframo Chinook with its 7" blades (only slightly larger than the Vornado V6 Flippi) is capable of generating tremendous airflow. It is also super quiet -- there is no high-pitched whine or buzzing sound. All you hear is the soothing sound of rushing air. Rating:  - This thing's tiny!I didn't realize how tiny this fan is! It's quite cute and surprisingly pushes a lot of air for it size. The noise level is acceptable and comparable to other vornado products (it's not super-super quite, but it's not loud). Note that this doesn't oscillate as does the larger models. I gave it a 4 instead of a 5 because through all my research I was mislead that this oscillated (which is probably my faulty expectations) and that the fan wasn't larger (which wouldn't be so bad if it wasn't for the needs of my purchase). Otherwise this fan is definitely a cool little fan that pushes a surprising amount of air for it's size. (though, don't expect a tornado).
