My mom bought the VPH 12 inch glitter color changing angel. I noticed when she had it in the fan mode that after a few second the fan stopped. Is that supposed to happen? Does it turn on in intervals? We didn't want to sit there and stare at it like weirdos. (I waited about two minutes and it hadn't started back up.)

Yes, it's supposed to do that in fan mode...the option I prefer to keep it on. The purpose of the fan is to help keep the glitter suspended and not settling. To me, although the glitter moves constantly in the other mode, it's just too fast/busy for our liking.

I also have VPH's bigger angels (below is a pic from when I decorated with them back in 2011). To me, those are the best when it comes to glitter movement...slow and constant without even noticing if there is even a fan!

We also have several of the glitter candles of Valerie's...the glitter also moves slow and constantly, without a noticable fan moving the glitter which we find soothing and pleasant to watching them (H196688...watch the video)

Susan Louise, I especially liked the sort of amber color and thought it would look great for harvest, but it's so pale that it doesn't show up much except right in the middle of the tree. I wouldn't like neon colors either, but I would like the tree to appear illuminated from top to bottom. As I mentioned, I'll play around with it a bit before making a final decision. Thanks for posting the pictures.

Marsha, I know these aren't cheap trees, but how about if I suggest you keeping the one you have for now with the box & receipt, and keep an eye out for any 'as is'. Order one of them, and see if it's any better, then return the one you like the least You might get lucky with a brighter one more to your liking

They are 22" tall. I bought the angels in 2011...item # H203278. Too bad the video isn't available! Currently, only the Santa and Snowman are available...HTH

Thanks for the info on the fan. It doesn't make much noise and definitely works, so I think it just must be the normal thing. Just wanted to check on it!

If it's making a noise, it's a defect! The fan should be silent. I would return it. Our angels are silent...just so you know

Another concern I would have is what will happen to the top and bottom areas once the batteries start to weaken. I don't have this tree or anything like it. Just FWIW.

As soon as I would notice a change on brightness, I'd just recharge the batteries. I may not be understanding why there would be a concern?

The concern is that if the top and bottom (of Marsha's) already show weak glow with fresh batteries, they may look even worse and more dim with weakening batteries. Many of us don't use rechargeables and, only speaking for myself, I usually get all the life I can possibly get out of my regular batteries.
