The OCOOPA USB Desk Table Fan, priced at £18.99 on Amazon, has become a popular choice for home workers enduring the UK heatwave. With over 14,000 reviews, the compact fan is praised for its powerful airflow, quiet operation, and portability.
Design and Features
The fan measures 9D x 15W x 16H centimetres and comes in six colours: pink, purple, blue, black, and others. It is powered via USB, making it compatible with laptops, power banks, car chargers, and regular ports. The brushless motor ensures a longer lifespan, and the front cover maximises airflow. An adjustable head allows 360-degree rotation, and rubber feet reduce vibration.
Performance and Noise
The fan offers three speed settings, with noise levels below 45db at high speed, according to the brand. One reviewer noted it was 'not as quiet as expected' but still a great product. Another said, 'This little fan has saved my life from UK summer heatwave (31°C).'
Customer Reviews
A five-star review stated: 'Excellent little fan. Much better than I expected it to be, and it's been a lifesaver during this recent heat wave. I use it while working from home.' Another added: 'Robust, quiet, great design and totally ticks every box for me.' A shopper commented: 'Omg I needed this! What with the menopause and a UK heatwave occurring, life would not be worth living in my house without this amazing little magical fan.'
Drawbacks and Alternatives
The fan requires a power connection, which may limit portability. For a wireless option, the Shark Chill Pill costs £129 and offers a fan, mister, and cool plate. The MeacoFan Sefte 6-inch Portable Battery Air Circulator costs £69.99 and provides whisper-quiet performance.
