The Only Desk Fan You'll Actually Want to Look At.
Most desk fans are grey plastic blocks that you put up with for three months of the year before hiding them away in a cupboard. This one is a little astronaut holding a fan, and it deserves a place on your desk whether it is running or not.
What you'll appreciate
- No cable across your desk. Rechargeable, it works wirelessly. Take it to the balcony, kitchen table or a friend's place without having to look for a USB port.
- Quiet enough to work beside. Less than 36 dB, roughly the level of a whisper. The brushless motor plays a big part in that.
- A brushless motor lasts longer. Brushless motors last significantly longer than the brushed motors used in fans of this size. You notice the difference by the second summer.
- Three speeds. Low for a gentle background breeze, high when you have just come in from outside.
- Two sizes. The large model is a proper desk fan, 15.5 × 15 × 20 cm. The small model fits neatly on a bedside table, shelf or windowsill.
- A gift that is genuinely useful. An original design, a practical purpose, and it arrives looking like something you chose rather than grabbed at the last minute.
How to use it
- Recharge it via USB before first use.
- Press the button to switch between speeds.
- Place it wherever you want airflow. No cable is needed once it is charged.

Frequently asked questions
Which size should I choose?
The large model measures 15.5 × 15 × 20 cm, a standard desk fan size and the better choice if you want noticeable airflow while you work. The small model is more suited to a shelf or bedside table, with airflow to match.
Does it need to stay plugged in?
No. It has a rechargeable battery: once charged, it works without a cable. Recharge it via USB when the battery runs out.
Will it cool my room?
No. It is a personal fan designed to blow air towards you at close range, at a desk or bedside. Cooling an entire room requires a pedestal or tower fan.
Is it quiet enough for an office?
It operates below 36 dB, comparable to a quiet library. At low speed, most people can work beside it without noticing it. At high speed, you will hear it, as you would with any fan.
Does it oscillate?
No. It blows in the direction you point it, without sweeping across the room. Position it towards where you are sitting.
Is it a good gift?
It is one of the best options in this price range: it looks thoughtfully chosen rather than cheap, and it is genuinely useful. Popular for offices, student rooms and people who are difficult to buy for.
