My poor beloved Zippi JUST died after about five years of constant use in a pretty hostile (read: hot, dusty, muggy) environment, was dropped dozens of times, had cats constantly challenging it to duels, and kept right on kicking. It was a great product -- portable, but still with a great fan. I can't wait to get a new one! I was so happy to find this site and not discover that the Zippi wasn't around anymore! Thanks for a great product, Vornado.
