 A good, versatile fan! Jul 04, 2008
By Carolyn
"Carolyn"
I bought the Flippi V8 today and I love it. The main reason for my love is that it replaces a floor model fan that stood out like a sore thumb. This fan sits on the shelf, oscillates, and does what it's designed to do-keep me cool.
I do agree that the oscillation switch could have been better placed but because this is a "personal" fan, I do not see that I will need to access the switch very often. If I do, I can just pick the fan up, turn it around, and flip the switch.
I intend to let it run 24/7 and I have 4 cats so it will be interesting to see how long it last.

 A disappointment to the Vornado name Apr 11, 2009
By Joe Schmo
I ordered this fan for it's cool looks and because I have always been impressed with the power of vornando fans. Bottom line is this fan does not move air well (no way it moves air 30 feet) and the tone it produces is a bit unpleasant, not the delightful timbre that the standard Vornando fans have.

 Love My Fan Aug 11, 2008
By Terri Greenberg
"cool breeze"
I really love my little fan. He has helped save on the use of my air conditioner because it keeps my living room cool. The high speed is a little nosy but the low speed is real guiet. It has a switch for the oscilator, which is nice. The only thing I wish it had is a switch for the "on" "off" button instead of a roll dial. I have to use two hands to turn it off. One to hold the fan, and the other hand to roll the dial. Otherwise I love it. Terri

 It's OK Jun 17, 2010
By A. Wiersch
Pros:
* Nice looking
* Decent construction
* 3-year warranty & Vornado service
* Quiet but definitely not silent on low - I wouldn't call it "whisper-quiet" though (as the description states), as it's noisier than that even on low
Cons:
* A bit noisy on high
* Controls a bit cumbersome, with oscillation switch in the back and a roll dial on the front for hi, low, off settings
Other:
* On low, uses 9 watts or 12 with oscillation turned on
* On high, uses 14 watts or 17 with oscillation turned on

Nice looking fan that fails to deliver. Jun 04, 2008
By Rav
This is a nice-looking fan with its polished black body and folding feature (the fan turns completely down so the grill is hidden and all you see is a big black thing-a-majig). But, the fan doesn't give that great of air output and is a bit noisy (ok in low mode but too noisy in high mode). Also, the oscillating button is hidden in the back of the fan - very inconvenient. But, the worse thing is the on/off switch is a hard-to-move dial located in the front. You need 2 hands to turn the fan on and off. One hand to hold the whole fan from falling while turning it on/off, and the other hand to actually turn the difficult on/off dial switch. The fan looks really cool but just doesn't do it for me.
