Larger than the picture suggests - Anonymous, Oct 31, 2007

Pros:

On low speed, it is very quiet. In fact, with my computer running, I can not even hear it if I am to its side. Even on low setting, it is easily as powerful as the high setting on the cheap O2 Cool fan I had (which had an inconsistent speed when plugged into AC power, and both fell apart and died after only a week). I am pleased that when plugged into the same power supply, this fan is just fine.

On high power, this fan gets a little noisy, but moves several times as much air (they call it an "Air Circulator", not a fan). I can point it at my closet, ~10 feet away, and make my shirts swing back and forth. Also, it has a reasonably long cord and a 2-prong plug which is great for my old dorm room.

Cons:

For the price, I could have bought 2 or 3 cheaper fans.

Other:

This fan is nearly as large as a basketball (plus the clip), and the clip can open to a full 2-3 inches. The neck allows it to rotate and be pointed in nearly any direction. Right now the fan is clipped to the side of my bed and it does not slide down at all due to its own weight.

Very pleased - rregis, Sep 06, 2007

I have two other (manufacturers) clamp fans and they pale by comparison to this Vornado. This is my first Vornado fan and it lives up to its hype. Definitely worth the extra money and I don't easily part from my money. Pros: Throws the air an amazing distance, quiet...can barely hear it on Low speed, low vibration even on High speed, the three pivot joints allow for any angle, long power cord. Cons: Not really much in the negative department except I felt that the clamp part could have been more stout since it has to bear a heavier fan head. From experience, I can tell you that it takes little force to dislodge the fan from whatever it's clamped to. So exercise a bit of caution.

I would have given this Vornado clamp fan a 5 but had to take away a point because of the clamp. If Vornado can beef up the clamp a tad and yet maintain the same price point they'll have an unbeatable winner. And, of course, I wish it had a 3rd speed (medium) but that's asking a lot for $40. Overall I am very pleased and pleasantly surprised with the quality of this fan. My next fan will most certainly be a Vornado.

Great Fan - thepit47, Sep 04, 2007

This is another example of the superior products manufactured by Vornado. The fan is a standard 2 speed vortex action which really circulates the air better than any other fan I have ever used. I have several Vornado fans for different rooms and uses. But the spring action clip is what sets this one apart. I was pleasantly surprised at the strength of the clip as well as the many different positions it can be placed in. It swivels, pivots and turns and has rubber feet so it doesn't mar any surface. It's great to clip onto a door to move air from one room to another or clip onto an outdoor chair to move the air on your deck. The high speed is a bit too fast for nighttime but the low speed is perfect!

Excellent cooling and air circulation! - #1 Reviewer, Jul 16, 2007

This fan is really great! Since it's a clip on, you can fit it in spaces where you might not normally be able to fit a fan. It's relatively small for the smount of air it moves (the circulating action of the Vornado is great!), and when it's on the low setting it's barely audible. The high setting can be a little loud, but the low setting is strong enough for me. I have a window air conditioner, and since I started using this fan, the air conditioner doesn't have to work nearly as hard - the money I'm saving on that probably more than makes up for the cost of the fan! If you're looking for a fan for a fmall to medium sized room, and you don't have a lot of space to put one, I recommend this fan!

It really stays put. - Helen R. Frassetti, May 29, 2007

This product is relatively heavy, but the clip held it fine. I actually clipped it to my bed rail and it stays in place even on high speed - Very cool and super quiet.
Thanks to Vornado - a super product.
