VFAN™ Mini Classic Vintage Metal Desk Fan, 2-Speed, Adjustable Tilt, Personal Air Circulator for Bedroom, Office, Dorm Room, Portable Quiet, Vintage Green

I absolutely love the Vornado VFAN Mini! It’s so cute and stylish that I ended up buying three — one for each room (pictures enclosed). Its vintage-inspired aesthetic makes it a perfect addition to any desk, bedroom, office, or living room, adding a charming touch wherever it sits. Despite its compact size, it circulates air wonderfully while staying whisper-quiet, making it ideal for both work and sleep environments. On top of that, it feels incredibly sturdy and well-made, a true testament to its high quality. I couldn’t recommend it more if you’re looking for something that’s both beautiful and effective.

I purchased this fan for my bedroom. In the Bay Area, we have a few days during the year that are so hot that we need fans. It blows very effectively, with a slower speed and a stronger speed. It is very portable and heavy for it's size and therefore stable. Also, the vintage green color is nice to look at.

This is the cutest little fan by Vornado. It does have a vintage look. It's mostly all metal though the blades are plastic, as is the dial knob. But everything else is metal. The green is darker than the image shows, and though I didn't mind that I do wish it were lighter in color like the Amazon image depicts. I wanted something for white noise along with moving air about. This is just loud enough for some white noise - on high. Low is pretty quiet. The fan puts out a good bit of force for such a small size. So it's pretty powerful on high. It does not oscillate but I didn't expect it to. It does move up and down but not side to side. The dial on the back works well. There are only two speeds: low and high, at least on this mini fan. The cord is long enough. Comes all put together so there is nothing to assemble. I did some research and Vornado had good reviews and excellent reliability scores. I didn't mind paying a little more for quality, reliability, and all metal construction. I'm super happy with it!

Very powerful for its size and current draw, which is a good thing as I normally have issues with fans this size being inadequate. For the first time in this barren wasteland of a scorching hot desert I call home, I'm using a fan setting other than "max." Don't get me wrong, it doesn't have the surface area to move large amounts of air (so don't count on it being an air blower/extractor) but it certainly excels in delivering a focused stream of high velocity air for personal use (read: one person, and directly to the face). So I ended up dimming it to 75% of its low-speed setting which moved enough air and made very little sound (a very slight motor hum if you have 20/20 hearing, which could be user error as my dimmer clearly says "lamps only"). I still would have to knock it down one star on the noise level, as it is much louder than anticipated. Do keep in mind my frame of reference here is a 30" old-school Panasonic pedestal fan that is absolutely silent on low (and extremely effective) but is far too heavy and takes too much space. But when I'm looking the smallest size fan of a long line of options, I assumed quiet meant exactly that. The sound is not a faint "white noise" hum but more along the tone of a distant hair dryer on low. Am I being too picky? That's why I bought this and not a Walmart special for a fraction of the price, which btw, is quieter than this fan too. The front grill was rattling upon delivery (one of the mounting tabs needed to be bent, and they're not easy to bend! So I'm not sure how it missed QA/QC as everything else on the fan is absolutely solid, so I didn't have the heart to rate it any less than 5 on sturdiness and chalk off the rattling grill to my bad luck) so I ended up removing it as I found that it distracted from the clean design of the body which is why I was drawn to the Vornado Mini Classic to begin with. I then sharpied in a white spiral on the fan blade center to complete the aircraft jet engine look (which I couldn't un-see every time I look at the profile of my white colored fan with the front grill off) and of course, so ground personnel unaware of a running fan with no front protection don't get any...err...injuries? At the speed I'm running it at (75% of low speed) you can stop the blades with your fingers without feeling a thing (that or I have no nerve endings on my fingers). Pro-tip: If you're in the unlikely case that you need to make this fan weaker (as there is no smaller size than this in the Classic range, this is the smallest!) you can remove the rear cone-piece that helps duct incoming air to the more efficient areas of the blade (source: user manual) this will make the air-stream diffuse a bit and may knock down the strength of it to your liking. It's worth noting that I use this fan just for airflow in an air conditioned room set to just a hair shy of pneumonia degrees F. All in all, this is a great problem to have, as you can easily choke excess fan performance but you can't overclock it if it's not powerful enough to begin with. And it looks beautiful!

Pretty simple fan - two speeds and off being the only settings to fiddle with. High speed is more or less ok, but some may find it underpowered in really warm rooms. I would have wanted a higher speed to use on those extra warm days. When you have a fan and you use the highest speed all the times, it makes you wonder if its cooling performance is adequate. It is NOISY, so bear this mind - I use it on a desk where I take online meetings, and I have to turn it off when I am leading or intervening in those meetings. I did not have this problem of noise with a fan I used previously (sadly, I can't use that fan anymore as I my desk space is much smaller now). Its attractive design makes it value for money - if you are into aesthetics; but in the future, I would perhaps buy another option.

This is the perfect fan for a side table or desk. It's powerful in the best way. I was having trouble getting hot at night (even with my air at 65) and this has changed the game. It's helped move the air in my room. I put it on the bedside table and it's the perfect size and looks cute and not like an ugly fan is sitting out. It has 2 speeds. I use the high speed but the low speed would work if it were closer to me.

This fan is AWESOME. First off, this fan is heavy duty. I am SUPER impressed with how sturdy this fan is. I was expecting it to be plastic-y made to look like metal, but the whole thing is metal and really high quality. I use this in the bedroom at night to sleep, and I like that it makes a nice white noise in the background.

Loved the vintage look of this nifty compact Vornado Vfan Mini back in 2022 when I bought it. It has been idle more than a year, but today I re-discovered its efficient design and effectiveness: what a great buy!!!!!! The blades and interior were dusty with the accumulation of fluff & stuff that I need to avoid because of severe allergic reactions to airborne triggers. My mini Vfan needed a cleaning… read some forums and finally found the manual online. Huzzah! and I read, then carefully followed directions to remove front grill and fan blade assembly. Verdict: easy peasy if you’re at all handy and all horse crazy kids get very handy and learn to use tools… but really easy, all things considered. One flat head screwdriver to release three tabs of the front grill — and replace grill when you’re finished - no screws at all. Entire plastic fan assembly pulls off. A brief but enlightening learning curve, mostly dry paper towel to remove the fuzzies and Shazam! Very easy to accomplish with the manual… Now for those out there who simply refuse to read directions or get familiar with a gadget or appliance: NOTE: This fan has two speeds: gentle and brisk. Both are quiet. The Vfan Mini is efficient and best suited to use on nightstand or desk or chest of drawers. It works best in a normal room - for high-ceilinged large rooms,invest in a bigger Vornado. You don’t use a kiddy car when tou need a bigger vehicle so don’t expect this wonderfully constructed and designed mini fan to produce the blast of a big Vornado. Just please start reading the directions - there’s a review that says the speed isn’t strong enough — because the goober-brain didn’t bother to read manual and get familiar with the controls. Two speeds, folks, gentle and brisk… Stay cool!

I owned two beautiful Vornado fans back in the States, I was excited to find this... however this fan came in a damaged box (looks like it was returned previously. Upon opening it, it doesn't even look like Vornado... I plugged it in to try it and it is sounds like the motor is broken and within seconds I can smell burning wire that filled my entire living room. Horribly dissapointing.

El ventilador es tal cual aparece en las imágenes. Tiene ese diseño clásico que me recuerda mucho a los ventiladores que veía antes en Mixup, y desde hace tiempo quería uno así. Se siente bien construido y con buenos materiales. Funciona muy bien: trae dos velocidades y ambas tienen buena potencia, suficiente para refrescar una habitación pequeña o un escritorio sin problema. Además, el estilo retro lo hace ver muy bien como parte de la decoración. En general, estoy muy satisfecho con la compra. Combina diseño, funcionalidad y buena calidad.

I am so happy with this little fan! I currently work from home where I have no AC. I debated between buying something cheap and effective but made of plastic, or buying this more expensive but all metal and beautiful fan. I do not regret my choice! It enhances the decor rather than being a 'necessary evil'. And it works great even if it is quite small. There are two fan settings, and most days I put it at the lowest level which is completely silent and enough to cool me off from close by. The highest level makes a small buzzing noise but it doesn't bother me at all. Overall it feels like great quality that should last a long time.

Had to return 2 of these now. The first worked for around 15 minutes before dying and the second one didn't work at all. Yes they look nice but a lack of reliability lets these down badly.

I'm quite impressed by this little fan, it is sturdy and quiet. I use it on the nightstand beside my bed, it helps with my hot flashes lol. I also like the white noise. It only has 2 settings, but that's enough for me. It also looks classy - I bought the cream colour, it fits in with my room decor. Overall I'm quite pleased so far.
