I have had my flipi V10 for over a year not and it has been running ever since I took it out of the box. (except when I clean it) it servers double duty in that it cools my laptop as well as my room. I couldn't be happier with this little guy. I plan on purchasing a larger model for my parents and a mid size model for my daughter. I really hope that they love theirs as much as I love mine! I have also been looking as some of your other products and am getting ready to take the plunge and try them. If they work even half as well as the fan I have I will be a happy camper.
