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

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'm in love with this fan in terms of both form and function. Aesthetically, it's just so chic. The color is beautiful and has such mid-century charm. This is a very small model, but delivers a steady, pleasant breeze. Our aircon has been broken for six weeks, and this, in combination with another, larger Tornado model -- the mini on my bedside table, aimed toward my face, and the larger on the dresser, aimed toward my body -- have kept me completely comfortable on 85-90 degree nights. It performs quietly, and I find the white noise totally welcome.

Really nice vintage looking fan built very well super tough and sturdy fan speed is great it has two options the cooling performance is very good the airflow is adequate and the portability is very good.

First the looks are every bit as nice in person in my setting as the advertising made me imagine. It definitely has enough power to move a decent amount of air on the low speed which is quiet enough for a bedroom. The higher speed might be too much for a small diameter fan because there's a noticeable propeller sound. I wouldn't want it on high setting in a bedroom. Not recommended. In fact the high speed setting is pretty useless because of the noise. Personally I would have liked to have seen a lower speed for the "high" setting that's a bit more biased towards "quietness". Any small diameter fan will be loud at high speed. Ask any PC builder. However I'll give it credit for sounding solid. Initial impression is that it's reasonably well engineered and well made even though it's got a plastic propeller. It does the job that I bought it for. I only need a relatively low speed fan and looks are really important for this application so it was the ideal fit. For comparison it moves more air on the low speed setting than a 6" Comfort Zone fan on it's high setting that it's replacing, so I'm happy as long as it has a decent longevity which is still TBD. But for the money I'm super happy for now, anyway

Obviously, this fan is aesthetically pleasing, which is a big bonus, but I also got it because I was so tired of having fans that quit after a year’s use, and were glued together so you couldn’t attempt to fix any problems. I’m also sick of plastic things, so the metal construction was a perk too. This thing is very small, but it’s a chunk! Very nice weight to it. It gets docked a star for sound. In fact, I almost returned it because I was afraid I just couldn’t take it. The fan noise part is fine, but it has a whine to the motor that is at a register I just found really annoying. I have sensory issues, so I’m probably more picky about this than a lot of people. I wouldn’t say it’s really quiet, but overall I like my fans to have a bit of noise, since I need some white noise to sleep. Anyway, I’ve gotten used to it over time. It occasionally does get a rattle, hazards of a metal fan, but mostly it’s good. I also can’t believe how much air it moves for such a small fan! I had a fan this size before, and you had to be about a foot from it before you felt any air coming out. This won’t give you the air power of a bigger fan of course, but it really moves the air, and has kept me cool at night. Overall it’s a great fan. Wish it didn’t have the whine to the motor, but that’s really my only complaint. I will likely be buying a larger one from this company eventually since it seems so well made.

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!

Love this little retro looking fan that lives on my nightstand. It’s not my first Vornado fan, I have a larger one, but this is perfect for sleeping…so much so that I purchased another as a gift and thinking of getting an extra one for another room. Maybe a Prime Day sale? Buy it, it’s metal, sturdy and you’ll love it!

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.

I was away for a chunk of summer and when I returned realised the plug was US, not UK. When I plugged it in with an adapter it worked for 2 minutes then stopped as the voltage was too high and it broke. Now I have a broken fan and no way to return. Do not buy if you're based in the UK

So these are the pro's and con's: Pro's: -This is a beautiful little fan especially if you love military green that shines like a car. - Nothing metallic about it but honestly I don't think it matters because it's a genuinely good looking fan. Something out of a movie? - It's heavier than it looks which makes it feel solid. It's heavy enough to feel like a pro point is what I'm trying to say. - this will provide enough cooling potential for one person, not an entire room like the other vornado's - perfect for the personal occasion - be it study time, work or those nights when your wife kicks you out of bed during summers and you have to crash on the couch. Cons: - speed 1 is quiet as heck. So quiet that the first time I switched it to speed 1 I dint even realize it was on. Speed one feels like a casual breeze. Speed 2 however sounds like the smallest jet engine or an efficient hair dryer. Something you have to get used to. It doesn't bother me but some people do get bothered by it. It's understandable. All in all - would I recommend it? Ofcourse! Just look at it! Who wouldnt want that? I've even put it up next to the Trident gum box so you get an estimate of how large this is.

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.

Caution 120 volts so not usable in the UK or Europe. A very compact and we'll designed fan.

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.
