HOLMES Mini High Velocity Desk Fan 4in 4 Blade Black

This little fan has a lot of power and is quiet.

Love it perfect size for night stand

First a bit of trivia. There appear to be TWO versions of this fan floating about, and this might lead to conflicting data.One (this one) is the little HNF0410A and the other is a larger one known as HNF0910C. I think this might be why the "Questions and Answers" section lists information which would seem to conflict - two models = two different results mixed together?That said.. Some boring info on the little HNF0410A----------------------------------------------------------------------------Looks to be about 5 1/2" tall.About 6" wide (including the base).About 5" deep (if you allow enough room in the back to NOT mash in the cord, etc).There are four little blades blades and each measures about (guessing) 2" x 1.25".Holding the cord in one hand and a tape measure in the other.. about 57" (ish) of cord.Plug is one of those two-piece polarized connections.. Looks like there may be a "fuse" in the plug itself.SPEED: One speed fan - just a basic "on/off" switch on the back.ENERGY USAGE: Kill-o-Watt tester measured it running at an average 11.8 watts for it's single speed.MOTOR TEMP (?): Was running for about 10 minutes at about 80 degrees, with room temp being 71 degrees.Airflow?The Q&A seems to have "There is no true rating for CFM so we have no answer for you" whenever anyone asks for Cubic Feet/Minute, and I certainly can't measure that myself. I just stood in front of the fan and held up a piece of paper. Doing that, I could feel a very very very (very) light movement of air at six feet out. The pages on the tiny calendar stuck to the side of the refrigerator were being "lifted" at two feet out. So if you want to Feel A Breeze try to stay within 2 1/2 - 3 feet of the fan.For myself, I am testing out one of those NuWave PIC single burner cook tops, and I worry about long term effects of steam/stuff boiling up from pots on the NuWave. Might the rising steam (over time) make the nearby cabinet doors "unhappy"? Best to nip that possible problem in the bud and just blow any-and-all steam AWAY from the cabinets and out into the kitchen proper. For that purpose, this little fan looks to be more than up to the task. If one wants a stronger fan than this, then move up a size from this category (Personal) to one of the smaller fans. As I own several Vornado fans, I did look at the tiny Vornado fans, but after reading those reviews purchased this Holmes fan instead. It looks to have been a good purchase: Small footprint, decent airflow for the task, metal construction, low wattage, etc. I have one of those Triplite "eco power strips" with six independent on/off switches, so I am leaving the fan switched to "on" and controlling it from the power strip.

Solid well working fan. Did develop a slight hum.

A handy little fan. Bought to replace the little RE fans that Target used to sell for $10. Looking for a 120V fan (so many are USB). This is small and lightweight. Pretty quiet. This sits on my desk in hot weather and gives me a light breeze without being overpowering. This is not for a 'far away' breeze. Little rubber feet on the frame help suppress vibration and prevent it from vibrating around the surface. The only real problem is the on-off rocker switch on the back doesn't really 'click' on and off - it's a smooth movement which makes me wonder it it's easy to flip the switch by lightly touching the back of the fan. And it's a hair expensive - this should be $10, not $20).

Quiet. Puts out a lot of air for its size.

I just got the fan. I've been using it for about four hours now.The fan is nice and compact - perfect fit on a school desk or on your work/home desk. I took a picture with my 15 inch laptop and an 8.5x11 inch sheet of paper.The air flow is sufficient for me. The noise, however, is just a hair too loud for being in class. In a big class, it's fine, but my class only has around 22 people (spaced out) in it. When the teacher is lecturing and pauses, you can definitely hear my fan. The noise doesn't bother me but it may bother others. No one has said anything yet!The tiltability is good. If the fan is on and you tilt it straight up, the unit will rumble. Don't know why you would need to do that, but it's still a negative to me.Lastly, there are two caveats that I have to this fan.1) The motor is not centered to the base. Upon closer OCD inspection, the logo, housing, and arm angle are also NOT centered. I don't think this affects the function, but it still bothers me. However, I guess you can expect poor QC at this price point (noted in picture with fan by itself. Check out the motor in comparison to the base)2) There is no power level adjustment - only an on and off. This is fine but I'd want to turn down the fan just a little bit so it's not as loud.Other than that. I'd rate this product a 3.25/5. Not bad at all considering it's price point.

GREAT little fan. I have hot flashes and I have several of these fans throughout the house next to where I sit and also on my nightstand.

This fan works really well even a year after I purchased it. This was exactly the thing I needed for my desk as it's not too big or bulky. The hum is nice and quiet too so it's not distracting when I'm working.

Cumple perfectamente con su cometido, genera una corriente de aire y no es ruidoso, ideal para ponerlo en el buró de la cama y dormir tranquilamente.

Pudieron agregar más velocidades en vez de una sola como la que trae actualmente. De ahí en fuera es buen producto.

Excellent fan, it’s exactly what I was looking for

Es perfecto, su tamaño es ideal para no ocupar mucho espacio, se usa todos los días y no ha fallado nunca.
