With more than 14,000 reviews, this small desk fan is super-effective at moving a lot of air around. As one reviewer writes, "Let me start off by saying this: Before this fan I was sweating enough to get us out of the California drought. With this fan now I am cool as a cucumber I have not drippity, drop, dropped a single sweat in my room ever since I plopped this puppy on my desk." Reviewers call it "a great desk fan for the office," as it "has great air flow and is pretty quiet." Another reviewer, a teacher, writes, "I have a classroom that is on an exterior wall and it tends to get extremely stuffy on hot days so this is perfect to tuck behind my computer desk and pull out on warm days … I can turn it on to circulate the air in my area and it is so quiet that the kids don't even know it's on." Others find it almost too intense for a desk, as one writes that it "is so powerful I would freeze out my co-workers if I did even on the lowest setting."
"This fan is compact, powerful, quiet and so cute, why not love?" asks one reviewer, one of nearly 80 percent of reviewers who gave this desk fan five stars. Nearly a third of them specifically describe it as quiet. One college student says it's even "Silent enough to use during these grueling hot summer lectures without disturbing my classmates or professor." And though it might not sound like it's doing much, it's described many reviewers as powerful. "I thought I had it on high, but discovered that was the low setting, lol. The high setting is just as quiet and will literally blow papers off of your desk," writes one reviewer. Another user says it's very convenient: "I have it on my desk at work and use a dual USB port I already had, but the cord seems long enough to plug into the PC comfortably."
"I love that you have different settings, which you usually don't get with desk fans," writes one reviewer, and dozens of others appreciate that this has three settings that actually feel different. "On low, it provides a very gentle breeze and produces almost no noise," one reviewer explains. "On medium, it starts to feel similar to what you'd expect on a slightly windy day, with a still-acceptable noise level. On high, it produces pretty good airflow, similar to the vents of a car on medium, with more motor noise becoming apparent." When used on low, reviewers love it for their office. "This fan cools quite effectively on its lowest setting, and is so quiet that I frequently forget to turn it off," one says, while another reports, "In our open office, nobody knows when it's on." Many do describe the highest highest setting as fairly loud, but for reviewers who use this in their bedroom, it does double duty as a sound machine, thanks to its "lovely hum, whereas the one we were using was kinda of 'thumpy' and annoying."
This convenient clip-on fan is a favorite among reviewers looking for a versatile option that can easily mount to a ledge. One reviewer, who was able to mount it "perfectly on [their] cubicle frame," says that it's "super quiet" and "has a very small footprint" when on their desk. Many others note that despite its compact size, the Beyond Breeze works well. "This fan blows very cool air even on the low setting," writes a reviewer who uses it in their "grow tent with the light turned all the way up." And another liked their fan so much that they bought two more: "[It's] perfect for tiny hot spots throughout my dinky apartment."
The remote and mobile app allows you to control not only speed of this desk fan but also its direction. "I love having the remote so I can turn it off and on, change the speed and swivel it left or right or up or down all from my bed," writes a five-star reviewer. Another, who was initially considering a large overhead ceiling fan, reports that this much smaller fan was actually plenty powerful. Once they had put it on top of their fridge — only possible because of its small size, remote control, and app — they found it "circulates air all over the place." And a third reviewer who already owned six of the previous model writes, "An upgraded BLUETOOTH version?! Oh my god my heart. I'm so impressed I bought two … The app is simple to use and I don't need the remote anymore."
Dozens of reviewers describe this fan as "super quiet." One reviewer writes, "Sitting next to the fan, I can't hear the 'silent night' setting. On the lowest normal speed, I can barely hear the fan three feet away. This fan moves a lot of air at any speed!" Several folks acknowledge that the price is relatively high, especially for a desk fan, but, as one explains, "Super-expensive and worth every dang penny. Rowenta fans really are whisper-quiet — I use one to drown out noise during the summer evenings. And when you have it on blowing on you on low, it feels just like AC."
"When I got this in the mail, it looked so small I felt disappointed. What I didn't know was I was in for a surprise," says one reviewer, who continues, "For the size of this thing, it was so powerful it's unbelievable. Don't let the size of this thing fool you. It's like it defies the laws of physics." Others love that it "really moves the air without taking up much desk space" and that it "is quite smaller than I thought it would be, about 6.5 inches in diameter but it moves a boatload of air and will throw it across the room." It's also well-suited for less practical purposes: "My children thought it was great as it can suspend a balloon in the air for a while when pointed just right. They discovered this by accident, of course."
"Since it's so flat and light, you can take it everywhere, and yet it's still pretty powerful," writes one reviewer of this flat-panel desk fan from Vornado, adding, "I also love it because it doesn't collect dust like other regular fans that you have to clean up once in a while, which can be [a] hassle." According to another reviewer, this fan is"enormously POWERFUL for its size … In fact, in a smaller room, if you turned it all the way up and figured out some way to point it at the ceiling, you could probably get that same kind of pseudo-ceiling-fan effect. That's how much oomph it has." Several reviewers also use this as a fan for small windows, because of the size and shape. "While this panel fan is small, it is powerful, especially if you have it backed up near a window, or even on the window sill," explains one reviewer, who warns, "Vornado does not recommend it being put in a window, but that's probably because of the fear of moisture and rain. Yes, watch out for those sneaky summer storms."
This "very light and fairly slim" flat-panel fan is similarly built to the one above, but it runs on batteries, making it that much more portable. One reviewer even took hers on a camping trip, and says the "very quiet" fan kept "a two-person tent comfortable with flowing air on the low setting" and gave "a nice blast of cool air" on the higher setting. But it's still plenty nice to use indoors. One reviewer in Texas says it provides "a surprisingly good amount of air" on its low setting, but that "the high speed will reach all the way across my room, about 15 feet."
Hundreds of reviewers purchased this fan for their office desk. "I mostly use this to get some air circulation going and it works very nicely for that. I like that I can direct the airflow where I want," one satisfied purchaser says, adding, "The color adds a little pop to the otherwise bland office decor, which is also nice." And many others praise the low-key, but colorful, design: "It looks so nice sitting on my desk. Most people can't even tell that it's a fan." Another praises "the grippy rubber feet, the swivel and up/down adjustment of the fan," but points out, "This isn't a ROOM fan. It's the equivalent of a personal pizza or a slice of pizza versus a pizza. But, if you share desk space or a bed, but do not share the same idea of hot/cold as the person next to you, this is a good solution. And it looks nice."
While there are some fans listed that come with a USB cable, this AmazonCommercial fan comes with that and a power adapter, so it can "plug into the wall or my computer," according to one reviewer. Another appreciates that the "USB cord is long enough to move the fan around without hassle," and the fan itself is "silent as a whisper," "all metal and well-built." And a third reviewer who replaced an old desk fan that only had a USB cord writes, "It generates a lot of breeze for its little size, which is wonderful."
[Editor's note: You can purchase this fan now, but it will be in stock soon.]
The retro look of this desk fan is praised by dozens of reviewers, as is the functionality. One reviewer writes, "This fan exceeds my expectations. The retro design is extremely stylish, and it is compact enough to carry around my office when I go to my desk every day. The air flow is superb." Its retro-inspired style makes for a decorative element in any room. One reviewer says, "The design and color matched my bathroom decor perfectly. Love, love, love this reproduction vintage design!" It's a hit even among the most discerning customers, like one who said, "The fan is absolutely solid and looks great — not some corny, vintage throwback (like I feared it might end up being). Air circulation is excellent. Definitely worth the price."
This copper-brushed fan from Holmes is less than half the price of the Vornado above, but its retro look is just as convincing, according to one reviewer who says "people want to know where I got this Class A antique copper fan, until they see that it's plugged in with a USB cord." It has just one speed, compared to the Vornado's two, and is a little smaller at just four inches, but one reviewer says both those things are part of its appeal: "It's small enough to go with me wherever I need it," and strong enough "to give me just the breeze I need without freezing out anyone else in the room — perfect!" Another reviewer appreciates that it's quiet enough not to disturb Zoom calls, and the aforementioned USB cord means it "doesn't take up yet another outlet on the surge protector."
"This fan gets everything right," raves one customer, "from a solid base that keeps the fan from vibrating or wiggling, to an easy-to-access and read control dial, it seems that Woozoo has thought of everything." Besides its solid construction, "it clicks into place so you know it won't slip from its position." The result is that "the entire unit holds its position nicely without rattling or shaking, even when running at high speed," according to one reviewer, who adds, "for the price, this is a great little fan which you can easily position and angle any way you want, so it's very versatile."
"It might not be flashy, but it is amazing," writes one reviewer of this basic 12-inch desk fan. Another satisfied customer describes the product as a "conventional white fan with a base with four buttons, a neck, an oscillating head, and a wire cage around the three wide plastic blades. This is what I wanted, to replace a very old fan of very similar design." Several reviewers describe it as "durable," as well. One writes, "I've tried dozens of desk fans that have broken down, developed irritating noises, or simply stopped working. This one has held up for years. I bought two more." Another calls it "a quiet, reliable friend."
This simple fan consists of two uncovered blades, and as one reviewer notes, "Finally I've found the perfect silent small fan … I guess the lack of cover and grill are what makes this so quiet." Another says, "I had purchased one of these in the '80s and absolutely loved how quiet it was and how much air it could push." And since the exposed blades are apparently tempting to touch, the "added cool factor is the blades do not hurt your fingers if you get curious and decide to touch them."
About 50 percent of reviewers describe this coverless fan as quiet, but more than 100 go as far as to call it silent. "I work in a relatively open space with a dozen coworkers within a ten-foot radius from me and so noise is a huge factor, this one is nearly silent on the lower setting which still provides well more air movement than my previous louder fans," one explains, adding, "It has a high setting that is still quiet enough for me to use at work if I wanted to however it is just too strong." Another reviewer thinks the lack of sound is because of the lack of grill, but that's not the only benefit of this design: "Because there is no grill, it's very easy to dust; a huge plus for me because I'm tired of unscrewing or prying off the grills on my other fans to get the thick coating of dust off the blades," they write. "With the Zippi, just a quick wipe removes dust." And even though the blades are exposed reviewers still say it's safe to use because the blades are made out of cloth. "You can run your hands or finger through it while it is on its highest speed and it doesn't hurt at all."
Plenty of reviewers say this bladeless Dyson table fan is well worth the investment — especially because it is near silent. One such reviewer — who titled their review "Worth the splurge" — says that they "cannot have noise in my home office," and that this is the most quiet and "most efficient fan I've ever owned." They're able to either "place it high and rotate to cool down an entire small room or keep it stationary on the floor to blow directly on me." The bladeless design also means it's easy to clean. As one reviewer explains, "No blades for dust and cat hair [to get] attached to. I have three cats, and now my bedroom is comfortable and cool AND I don't have to worry about particles flying all over the place." Plus, it just looks cool. "I gladly paid through the nose for this absolute WORK OF ART tabletop fan. Dyson's industrial designers are absolutely top-drawer. The fit, finish, and function is flawless. Sturdy, quiet, effective air movement … does the job … while looking gorgeous," one such reviewer writes, concluding, "There are few 'things' that I purchase which really 'move' me … This Dyson fan brings a smile to my face every time I use it."
