Great to beat the heat

edit: oops - I could have had a v8!

Anyone know how noisy these fans are?

There are several differences that set the vornado fans above other fans.....

check the youtube video i just linked for the noise level

Random question: How "whisper quiet" is "whisper quiet"? I work at a very quiet office...

Vornado products are the best... I bought one of the floor fans off woot a while back, and it keeps going strong. I leave it on all the time, for the cool factor, but also for a white noise effect... it drowns out annoying outside disturbances. These would be good for that too, I suppose.

I bought these the last time, I'd say that in lo mode it is pretty darn whisper quite, barely even noticeable. However in high mode it's fairly loud. One thing to remember is that these rotate too, I didn't realize that when I got them and had to figure out what a certain button did lol. That's really nice.

well if thats the case try the dyson air

Not exactly "whisper" quiet... The Zippi is more what you'd want there. Though all the Vornado fans seem to be good quality if you're looking for one.

I bought one of the other Vornado desktop fans a while back and have been very pleased. I bought two sets of these as you can never have too many! Vornado makes great fans that have been reliable and useful for me.

Got these last time. Cannot adjust speed one handed as the switch is on the bottom and needs enough force to turn it over if done one handed. Low speed is not too bad but high is loud. Moves a decent amount of air for its size.

the cats cannot put their paws on this model...that is either good or bad...

They had me at "vortex action".

I got the raspberry one last year on a Woot Off. I love it. My wife keeps it in the baby room for the "white noise" and to cool it off at night since it faces West and gets a lot of sun. I was going to put it behind my CPU tower if she didn't like it, but never got that chance. I'll probably pick up some black ones this time for the computer area...

I bought these from the last woot - they are amazing. crazy quiet, you can barely hear them working. they move air like nobody's business. i already have two of this model and a midsized one, and i'm buying two more right now: one for my wife for her office, and another one just for a spare in case we travel or something.

Seriously you guys, i've had a lot of fans, and Vornado makes pretty much the best ones i've ever used.

Since I live in Missouri and I think tax doesn't speak to me as well, can I get free shipping PLEASE? (Even though I didn't go in for three)

Very quiet on low, and not so quiet on high. I got two of these for my boys, and they love having them next to their beds.

Thanks in no small part to Woot, we own 2 Clips, 2 Floor, 2 mid-sizers, & finally 2 of these... they are bbbbbbbbyyyyyy faaaaaaaaar my least favorite of the bunch. Very nice & quiet - but unless you really are sitting still directly in front of it - it's not worth it.

Great little fan for my daughter's dorm. I'm in for a couple. WOOT!

Holy airflow, Batmam!!!! These things are SAWEET!!!!

Looks cool, but this is $285 cheaper! I'd go with this and keep it on low.

forget the zippi, I bought 2 a few weeks back and they barely move air more than 10" - 20' FTW I'm in =)

$24.99 for ONE at Amazon, PLUS Shipping!

I love Vornado. My AC died, so for the last few nights I've been sleeping with a Zippi on each side of my bed and an older retro-metal Vornado at the head. There is just the slightest rattle from the metal one, and no noise from the Zippis except when a cat runs into one.

I can't speak for the Flippis specifically, but when these folks claim something is quiet, I'll certainly give them the benefit of the doubt.

perfect timing, in 4 2!

I bought the V8 2 pack from a previous woot $24.99 and are awesome. They are not crazy loud and great for the office or by the bedside. The V6 are smaller then the ones I have but should do nicely. This is a great deal.

I appreciate all the positive comments on these. My fridge backs to a hot Texas wall and has cupboards above it. Thus, no air flow. I'm planning on putting one of these such that a steady flow of air can keep the back of it cooled down.

TheEndless wrote:Anyone know how noisy these fans are?

Believe me, it's quiet.

Aside from these, I bought 2 10 inch diameter Vornado desk fans at Target ($70.00), laid them on the floor facing upwards and I could feel the air moving freely around the house. I don't find the need to open the airconditioner.

I purchased that woot but it was for the V8 not the V6. I like the V8 model, but how much different is the V6? Is it not as powerful? or just offers different colors.


Edit-The previous V8 model is a lot bigger and supposed moves air farther away.

Dammit...should have read the comments first! Oh well, in for two in Carrollton!

I bought two Flippis on a previous Woot. They are well made and do a small ventilating job well. They have two speeds and the V8 version rotates. The rotate switch is on the base where the cord enters, and the speed switch is on the front. I think they make a bit more noise than necessary, but my wife loves the moderate "white" noise of the low speed setting and likes to use it at night to mask any other sounds. She puts it on a chest 8 feet from the bed and we can both feel the gentle air motion.

Being a low Amp machine, it really doesn't push much air; but typical of all Vornados, it has a bit higher core velocity than anything else its size, so it pushes air farther.

It is as small a fan that will do any real work. I put one on my desk to blow on my laptop, which gets hot when running two monitors. The fan helps to keep it from slowing down from an overheating processor.

The price for two in this Woot is less than I paid. Wish I needed two more. Apparently, this V6 version doesn't rotate, but that's not very important for a small fan.

In for 2

I like the idea of moving them around for 'spot fanning'--esp. getting the cold a/c air into my computer intake when its 98+ outside and I don't live inside a refrigerator (yet).

Yep HOT as hell here in Texas... Hope 4 will be enough!!!
