Customer Review: Works for odd jobs...
Summary: 5 Stars
I bought this fan for a rather odd reason.
I have an HDTV set top box with a DVR. This particular model puts off a lot of heat for whatever reason. Since it is not mine, but the cable company's, this doesn't bother me. However, they do NOT suggest putting it INSIDE an entertainment center. This just did not work with me, as I have just bought a new house, and entertainment center to go with it since my wife doesn't like my electronics to "show." Needless to say I did not heed their warning, and over time I just forgot about it. I notice the machine getting hot, and every now and then I would get "sparkles" on my screen. I passed it off as "bad" reception for HD channels for a time until it got worse. Then I started to think it was my inferior cables. I replaced my cables only to find little to no improvement.
Then I started read more about HDMI and thought about the HD tuner itself.
It had been getting hot, really hot, but I had a lot of room above it for the hot air to escape (about 6 inches open at the back). But evidently that was not enough. Even the wood above the HD tuner was hot to the touch. So, I increased the height above the HD tuner to about 14 inches and I bought this fan. Inside this space (about 14h x 20w x 24d) this little fan cools it down dramatically. The massive amount of heat generated by my HD tuner dissappates completely and the ambient temperature of the space now feels cooler than the room it is in. Even the surface of the HD tuner feels cool to the touch.
I exchanged the tuner and have had no problems ever since.
As far as I am concerned, this is a great demonstration for an itty bitty fan. A fan with the name Zippi certainly doesn't sound designed or marketed to do big jobs. The ad is a bit misleading, and I am sympathetic with those who were taken by the way the ad was written or put their stake in the Vornado name as building massively powerful fans. This fan is far too small to cool a room, but it is quiet and can cool a small space with great efficiency. The lack of a "cage" makes the soft blade approach necessary to keep you from needing band-aid when you approach the spinning "blades" with ungarded fingers. It is so quiet I cannot even hear it whirring away inside my entertainment center, which is quieter than my computer by a mile.
I think this is a great fan for special tiny applications and the looks are great. The all black model is quite invisible setting on top of my HD tuner behind the glass of the entertainement center door. My wife was surprised when the blades "bit" her hand when she stuck her hand to feel how cool it was in there. She actually didn't see it! But, if invisibility is not your desire, the other colors look quite cool to me. Overall a great product.
