The OCOOPA USB Desk Table Fan, priced at just £16.99, has become a bestseller on Amazon with over 15,000 reviews, earning a 4.4 out of 5 star rating. Shoppers have called it a 'lifesaver' during the recent heatwave, especially for those working from home as temperatures in Liverpool are set to reach 29°C by the end of the week, according to the Met Office.
Compact and Versatile Design
Powered by USB, the fan easily connects to a laptop, making it ideal for home offices. It features a 360° rotating head, three adjustable speeds, and comes in five colours including black, pink, and blue. Its compact size allows it to fit on a desk or bedside table, providing a cooling breeze wherever needed.
One reviewer stated: '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.' Another added: 'Compact and sturdy size and design... shifts a lot of air for its size.'
Portability and Noise Levels
Customers have highlighted the fan's portability, using it in hotel rooms and even on public transport. One buyer noted: '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.' However, noise levels have been a point of debate. While some find it quiet, others claim it kept them awake. One satisfied user wrote: 'A very neat, effective fan... not intrusively noisy during use.' Another stated: 'Can be a little loud on the highest setting.'
Alternative Options
For those seeking alternatives, the Dimplex Desk Friend Fan is available at Yimbly for £38.99 with code SUMMER10, offering both cool and warm air settings. Debenhams also offers the Quipulse Multifunctional Desktop Misting Fan at £32.99, which releases a cooling mist. Despite mixed noise reviews, the OCOOPA fan remains a top choice, with one buyer concluding: 'I don't think I would have slept during this heatwave without it.'
