We're Fans

So, on Amazon, these little fans have almost 22,000 reviews. Most of them (67% to be exact) are 5-star ratings. There are many we could highlight, but we’re choosing to focus on this one from Pam Flores:

Great fan. Sits next to me at my desk every day. Love the size! It also comes in handy if you need to take this with you during travel. 1st setting needs to be a bit stronger but the 2nd setting is good. Could be stronger but works well. This little fan is surely my best friend.

There’s a lot to unpack there, psychologically speaking, but we’re going to leave that to someone else. What struck us was how succinctly this summed up the fan’s two key uses, at least as far as we can see.

First, if you get a little warm at your desk (in the office or at home) one of these could be a great solution. It beats cranking the AC, both in terms of noise and energy use, and also (if you’re in an office), you can circumvent that one person who acts as though it’s the Arctic when the thermostat is set to anything below 78 degrees.

But really, maybe their best selling point is that second part: how easy they are to travel with.

Because you know what really sucks? When you get to the hotel and realize you don’t have a fan to provide white noise at night, leaving you with two options:

  1. You can download a white noise app on your phone, which might work, or might keep you up because you’re sure you can hear something in the tinny static that sounds like a voice or a beep.

  2. You could try and figure out how to turn the in-room AC unit to “constant fan mode” which is achievable roughly 5% of the time, and even then, ends up turning off the cooling/heating so that you’re bound to wake up in the middle of the night way too hot or way too cold.

With these fans, you don’t have to worry about that. Because they’re small enough that it’s easy to pack one up and bring it with you.

So get a couple fans! They’re good, we’re told!
