Kitchen and Housewares Reviews of Vornado V6 Flippi Personal Fan, Small, Midnight Blue
Customer Review: Too noisy for bedroom, but great for an office
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this based on another reviewer who said they use it on a bedroom nightstand. We have the same situation, one partner who likes minimal A/C and the other who is DYING and can't sleep. Unforunately, this fan has too much inconsistent motor noise. So, unless you're a quick and deep sleeper, you're going to constantly wake up from the varying motor noise (not the fan itself, but the motor). It would be great if it's constant, but it isn't. The whirring pitch changes frequently, and you WILL notice it.
Incidentally, this was purchased AFTER going through 3 of the Vornado's with the cloth blades. Those are actually much quieter, and the similar motor issue is much less noticeable. The problem with those is, over time, the fan housing rattles! I'm back to using the 3rd of 3, since it rattles the least and at a specific angle it doesn't happen. Made in China, so what do you expect? What's actually needed as a bedroom nightstand solution is the perfect quiet of a PC-cooling type fan in a table-top version, but I haven't been able to find anything like this. YET.
This fan works great in an office however (which is where it got moved to).
It's not a blasting fan. It's subtle. At 5' away, on either setting, it cools with a gentle breeze. It's enough to make papers move at that distance.
The major negative that all users will experience about this fan is the switch. It's not a one-hand operation. You HAVE to hold the housing while sliding the switch on the bottom, otherwise the whole fan will move with it.
