Silent desktop fan: how to choose

Many models of desktop fans have appeared on the market, which are characterized by quiet operation and multifunctionality. In addition, the purchase of such a device does not require large material costs. To figure out how to choose the best fan, you need to know what are the main criteria when buying. In addition, it is recommended that you familiarize yourself with the main advantages and disadvantages of such devices.

Advantages and disadvantages

The fan consists of an electric motor and an axis with rotating blades. It is due to the rotation of the blades that the desired draft is created.

There are also models powered by USB. The main advantage of the desktop fan is its compact size, which allows you to easily transfer it from one place to another if necessary.

Other device benefits include:

• Low price compared to floor fans and expensive air conditioners.
• There is no need for complicated installation - immediately after purchase, the device can be installed on a table, plugged into an outlet and enjoy the cool.
• Light weight and dimensions will not create problems during transportation and storage.

Disadvantages:

• Low power.
• Limited exposure radius.

How to choose a desktop fan?

When choosing a device, you must pay attention to the following parameters:

• Stability - depends on the size and weight of the site at the base. It is advisable to choose a model with a fairly smooth and heavy platform - this will provide protection against accidental fall of the device and its failure.
• Power - this parameter is responsible for how much space the device can cover. As a rule, the power of desktop models does not exceed 100 watts.
• Noise level is one of the most important indicators. Especially if the device is bought in the office. Too noisy the device will interfere with concentration and increase the discomfort from the heat.
• The length of the blades - the larger the length of the blades, the more gentle blowing provides the device. Too short blades require an increase in rotational speed, due to which increased noise is created.
• Design - since desktop fans are usually installed in the most prominent places, it is desirable that the device evokes pleasant emotions or at least not annoy.
• Functionality - some models have a timer for setting the time, a remote control and other additional functions that provide ease of use. However, it should be noted that the cost of the fan directly depends on the number of additional functions.
• Blow modes - allow you to change the speed from the lowest to the highest. Most often, fans operating at the first speed do not create absolutely any noise, and when you turn on a higher noise, it may appear.
• The presence of a protective grill - this parameter is especially important if there are small children in the house.
• Turning angle - the fan with the greatest turning angle contributes to good airflow of the room. It is preferable to choose models in which this parameter is 85-100 degrees.

Also, when choosing a table fan, it is recommended to pay attention to the length of its cord - the longer the wire, the more convenient the device is to use. The optimal length is from 1.5 to 2 m.
