This ‘powerful’ desk fan will cool down your workspace

Working from home in this hot weather can quickly become uncomfortable, so we’re always looking for new ways to stay cool. Fortunately, we’ve spotted a top-rated desk fan that is now discounted on Amazon, allowing you to stay comfortable and productive for less. 

Ocoopa’s USB Desk Table Fan, now reduced to £18.99 from £23.99, will help regulate the temperature, making it more comfortable to work at home. Reducing stuffiness in your environment can help you stay focused instead of potentially becoming tired and unmotivated.

This portable model fits on a small desk, making it ideal for a home office where space may be limited. It has a USB cable so that you can plug it in via your laptop. It has three adjustable settings to suit your needs, from a light breeze to a stronger wind and a nifty rotating head to aim it wherever you like. 

They’re also designed to be quiet, meaning you won’t be disturbed while chatting in Zoom meetings. For context, the highest speed is lower than 45db, which is equivalent to working in a library. 

Amazon users are impressed with this fan, too – it has racked up more than 8,000 five-star reviews from happy shoppers. One buyer said they have one by ‘every computer in the house’, saying, ‘(The fans) really do throw out a considerably stronger blast than you would expect for the small size.” 

A second called it a ‘fantastic little fan’, stating it is ‘so small but very powerful even on lowest setting’. A third said it is quiet enough for use at night and they’d ‘be taking it on holiday as it’s small enough to fit into my luggage’.

A fourth reviewer said, ‘If you’re looking for a personal whirlwind without the chaos, the OCOOPA USB Fan is your new best mate! This little gadget is the unsung hero of my desk. Imagine having your own mini gale-force wind on demand but without the hassle of chasing down flying papers.’

However, some users have reported that it has stopped working after a year or so. ‘The reason I only gave three stars is that it’s stopped working after 13 months of owning it,’ one person said. Considering that, it might be worth paying more money if you’re worried about its longevity. 

Still, this is a decent deal on a compact device that will upgrade your home office and help you beat the heat. You can shop Ocoopa’s USB Desk Table Fan via Amazon, but be quick if you’re tempted, as there’s no indication when the deal will end.

Otherwise, Argos is also offering up to 25% off desk fans until August 6th with the code OUTDOOR25. Dunelm has also discounted this Chrome Desk Fan from £40 to £28, saving shoppers £12.
