The OCOOPA USB Desk Table Fan, priced at £16.99, has become one of Amazon's bestsellers during the UK heatwave, with more than 15,000 customer ratings and an overall score of 4.4 out of five stars. Shoppers have called it 'small but mighty' and a 'lifesaver' for home offices and travel.
With UK temperatures forecast to reach 29 degrees Celsius this week, having home cooling equipment ready is paramount. The USB-powered fan can be plugged into a laptop while working remotely and features a 360-degree rotating head, three adjustable speed settings, and is available in five colours including black, pink, and blue at different price points.
Portable and Quiet Operation
Numerous reviewers highlighted how the fan maintained their comfort while working remotely and sleeping during the June heatwave. One buyer commented: 'Excellent little fan. Much better than I expected it to be, and it's been a lifesaver during this recent heatwave. I use it while working from home, and there's a lovely cooling breeze that keeps me sane during the day.'
Other buyers praised its portability, using it in hotel rooms and even on public transport. Another customer said: 'I just want to say how much I absolutely love this fan - it's so handy, portable (I even used it on a bus recently), it can be run for hours off even a small power bank. I've had it at my bedside and my desk during this heatwave.'
Noise Levels and Alternatives
Noise levels are a recurring talking point in reviews. Some buyers praised its quiet operation, while others claimed it disrupted their sleep. One happy customer wrote: 'A very neat, effective fan which has helped tremendously during the current heatwave. For its size, it delivers a refreshing blast of cool air from the bedside table. It is not intrusively noisy during use.' However, another buyer expressed dissatisfaction: 'A nice desk fan with a sleek black colour. The speed and air quality are great, but can be a little loud on the highest setting.'
For those seeking alternatives, Yimbly offers 10% off the Dimplex Desk Friend Fan using code SUMMER10, reducing the price to £38.99. This fan also features a heater setting, making it a year-round investment. Debenhams has cut the price of the Quipulse Multifunctional Desktop Misting Fan to £32.99, which emits a light mist to help cool users down.
