Desk General Purpose Fans

Desk fans are a great way to keep cool during the hot summer or when the office thermostat keeps things too toasty in the winter. Small desk fans are compact, easy to use, and don't take up a lot of space, so they're a great option for home or office. There are a few things to keep in mind when shopping for a fan for your desk:

What features are most important?

First, think about how you'll be using the desk fan. You'll probably want to prioritize features like noise reduction and power for a desk fan that you intend to set up and leave in one place. But if you frequently move around between workspaces, you'll want to consider a small desk fan that's lighter weight and easier to carry. In addition to portability, if you ever use your desk fan outdoors, you will want to ensure it's weatherproof.

What power do you need?

Second, think about the power needed by the desk fan. Desk fans come in various power options, so you'll need to find one that suits your needs. A small desk fan will do the trick if you're just looking for something to keep you cool, but larger desk fans with more power can help if you're looking to circulate air in a room or even in your whole house. You might even consider industrial or commercial grade options if you need something bigger.

Rechargeable or A/C powered?

Finally, think about the length of the cord. Some desk fans have long cords that allow you to place the fan where you need it without using an extension cord. Others have shorter cords that are better for use closer to an outlet. Some small desk fans are rechargeable with USB or mini USB power options, making it simple to charge your fan while you work, as well as convenient to take to the conference room for long meetings. Just plug it into your laptop USB port for on the go charge.
