HOLMES 4" Portable Handheld Fan

I have had two of these little Holmes "high velocity" desk fans for years. The oldest one, probably 7 or 8 years old (likely older, I received it used), just died after years of excellent "high velocity" service. Because both of the fans I've had were excellent little "high velocity" fans, I wanted to replace the expired one with the same little fan. After ordering my new Holmes desk fan, my order was "lost" and I had to order a replacement for the lost order. When I received the little fan, in appearance, the exact same fan, I was quite disappointed in the velocity which was much "less" than the two older fans I'd had for years. In a strange twist, the "lost" fan finally arrived many days later. But, again, even with this "lost" but finally delivered fan, I was disappointed in the velocity of the fan. One of the two new fans had a little more velocity than the other, yet even that fan was significantly lacking the velocity compared to the two older fans I'd had for years. Based on my experience with these two newer fans, it would appear that the product is no longer of the same quality in velocity as the older fans. The difference in velocity is SIGNIFICANT between the two older fans and the two newer fans. I cannot recommend these newer fans because of the significant lack of velocity. Maybe the two new fans I received were "lemons", so to speak, but I'm not willing to try for a third one. Two stars were given because the fans were very quiet, operationally, and not at all distracting. UPDATE: I am returning the 2nd Holmes fan...it simply does not function to even the lowest expectations. I am replacing it with "efluky" 3-speed mini desk fan (at less cost). The ONE speed on the Holmes fan that I am returning has even LESS velocity than the replacement "efluky" 3-speed mini desk fan has at its LOWEST speed! And the "efluky" 3-speed mini desk fan has two higher velocity speeds!
