As you probably know, the Zip fan has two speeds... well, actually three if
you count "off", which I think you should.

I'd say that "low" is a bit more than "moving air slightly". At "high", you
can feel air moving, but it's nowhere near "blowing back your hair", nor
does it need to be.  I only use "high" briefly when getting a fire started,
then the fan goes to low.  Sometimes, when I'm trying to maintain a simmer,
even low is too high, and I turn the fan off.

As always, YMMV.
