FARADAY USB Desk Fans 5 Inches Portable Table Fans 360° Head Rotation Small Personal Desktop Fan for Home Office, 3 Speeds, Blue

Picked up several of these fans for the office after our old ones up and died on us. Wasn't expecting much given the price, but I was pleasantly surprised (roll credits). The fans themselves are lightweight and small enough to fit on a desk without any difficulty. The build quality is plastic (no surprises there) and relatively cheap feeling, but the stand is stable, and the thing works, which is better than some of the other products that I've purchased in my lifetime.Now on to actual performance. This fan is potent, pushing a decent amount of air for its size on all three levels which are selected via the single button on the back of the unit. I would say the first level is plenty for most use cases as an office fan, with the other two levels providing increasing levels of airflow. The downside to this fan primarily comes from the noise it generates, especially on the medium and high airflow settings. To be honest, it sounds like a jet engine at full tilt, and would not be pleasant for you or any unlucky coworker in the vicinity. Thankfully, the first level is reasonable quiet, only letting off a mild higher-pitched whirring.Overall, I think that this fan does its job of being a cheap and effective means to stay cool during the warmer seasons. While the longevity of the fan is dubious, for $9 (while it was on sale), I can't argue.5/5

I purchased this for my work desk and it's a great deal. It's a great quality, durable plastic and the perfect size. I love the dark green color I chose. The front comes off with a turn to easily clean the clear plastic blades. It's quiet for a fan even on the highest level, and the airflow is GREAT even on the lowest setting which is plenty for a desk. I am in an office with several others, and this works very well and plugs right into my laptop (bonus it doesn't need batteries).

I would highly recommend this fan to anyone who needs a small fan that can fit anywhere on their desk. The fan blows plenty of air and you can feel it from a distance. It has multiple modes to adjust the strength of the fan. It works really well, even on the first mode. Before I bought this fan, my hands would sweat a lot as I'm studying. My hands and feet tend to sweat excessively in hot environments, but now I use this fan and my hands don't sweat when I'm studying anymore! Also, the fan isn't too noisy and doesn't really distract you as you're working, unlike most fans out there that are way too loud. The only thing is that it has a USB cable, so you need to find somewhere to plug it in. Also, even though the noise is manageable, the last mode sounds like a frickin hair dryer. Other than that, it's overall a great fan, especially for the value!Pros:- Blows a LOT of air (with multiple modes)- Level 1: light breeze- Level 2: stronger breeze- Level 3: hair dryer- Size is not too big and fits anywhere- Good value- Rotates 360 degrees (because why not)Cons:- Requires USB cableCan be either pro/con (depending on your preference):- Noise- Level 1 -- quiet- Level 2 -- manageable- Level 3 -- hair dryer

I really like these little fans and would definitely recommend. I already have! I keep one in my family room and one on my desk at work. I traveled with a friend in December and she brought this with her to the hotel room. Man, I wished I had one. It's small enough to be portable and doesn't take up a lot of space. It has three settings which are really good. I plug the USB right into my computer. I would for sure buy again.

I didn’t realize how much I needed this little fan until I got it. The Faraday USB desk fan is compact, quiet, and surprisingly powerful for its size. It keeps me cool without sounding like a jet engine, and the adjustable angles are perfect for aiming the breeze exactly where I need it.I also love that it’s USB-powered—I can plug it into my laptop, power bank, or wall adapter without hunting for an outlet. The build feels solid, not flimsy like some other small fans I’ve tried.Overall, it’s the perfect balance of convenience, portability, and cooling power. Highly recommended for anyone who wants to stay comfortable while just trying to survive summer.

Quiet and strong

100% Fan failure. This fav was purchased in 2023 but has abruptly stopped working. The power button will not power the fan to turn on. I followed the troubleshooting instructions but listed but the instructions only instruct me to push the button to turn it on and make sure that the fan is plugged in… well that doesn’t help in anyway, when clearly thoyare the main functions.

These are great desk fans, barely pull any electricity, needs 1A supply, like a USB phone charger, or can be run from a USB on a computer (tested with USB2 and USB3 ports, both work for all 3 speeds). Has 3 speeds.At 5V lowest speed pulls 0.2A, medium 0.50A, and full 0.9A.Can be used with little battery charge packs, those usually have anywhere from 2000mAh to 10,000mAh, this fan on low consumes about 200mAh. So for something like a camping situation a small battery pack will power this fan for 5 to 10 hours on low.Construction is good, the plastic is solid. We've accumulated around 1500 hours on ours running it in a window at night to get cold air into the room. Still working as well as day 1.It is NOT silent, even on lowest speed you can hear it, but I would consider it to be a quiet enough background hum. Noise measures as low speed 46db, medium 55db, high 60db. For reference silent would be somewhere around 35db which is the level of a background of a bedroom.One complaint/change Id would make is add an on/off button. You have to cycle through high to get to off. So from off position 1 press is low, another press is medium, another press is high, another press is OFF. So if you are on low you have to press 3 times to get to OFF.
