Overview
A desk worker or dorm resident gets a small metal fan with a vintage finish and a pivot head. The head tilts and turns to aim the breeze, and a dial switches between the speed settings.
The metal construction and glossy green finish set it apart from plastic desk fans. It moves air across a personal space, not a whole room. It is made for US voltage and outside use voids the warranty.
Who it's for
Office workers, students and anyone who wants a stylish, personal-size fan within arm's reach. People who need to cool a big space, or who will use it on foreign voltage, should choose another fan.
Pros and cons
- Metal body, retro styling
- Full action pivot head
- Two speed settings
- Noise level and airflow listed
- Plug type listed two ways
- Built for US voltage only
- Two speeds only
Performance notes
The three-blade design pushes air in a focused stream, and the pivot head aims it up, down or sideways. The listed airflow and speed describe a personal fan, not a room fan. The dial sets one of two speeds, and the noise level is listed.
