Is the product for you?
If you are after a fan which is very cost efficient, practically silent to run as so it doesn't disturb you working with a constant drone like larger fans, or even to leave on over night without been disturbed, and been quite powerful at the same time then this is the fan for you. If you work in a big building or for use in large rooms I would recommend upgrading to a larger fan as this is primarily used for small rooms with one or two people.

The product in one
For me this product is ideal, it features two different fan speeds which are just labelled "1" and "2", one been a slow spin and two been the fast spin. I always use fast spin as my room does seem to get pretty hot, and sometimes you can wake up feeling a little dry so this just keeps a continuous air flow throughout the room. Like I mentioned above the fan is good because it is really quiet, virtually silent, and this means I can leave it on throughout the night without it disturbing my sleep in any way. As well as the fan speeds you are able to press a button on the top back end of the fan which makes the fan turn from left to right to distribute the air in the room even better and reach places in the room much quicker. And a pretty good feature is the upward and downward tilt that you can do which I haven't been able to do with fans in the past.

The fan has attached a very long Two metre wire which comes in handy for people with plug sockets on the other side of the room to where they want to use the fan (of course you could just use an extension lead) but for me there is no need for either as I plug the fan in where I am using it. The fan has turned out very cost efficient compared to older fans. My Nan had gave me an old bulky one to use which was really noisy and on our electricity 'reader' it seemed to shoot up when this fan was plugged in, but when plugging this newer fan in it barely budges.

The fan its self isn't to sturdy if I'm honest which I would say is one of its drawbacks; it seems to be very flimsy, if you knock it slightly it looks as though it could topple over as it starts shaking a little. The base doesn't seem to move though which I guess is one of the things that make it a little sturdier but it's just the whole top half. As for the material it's made from it seems to be pretty strong, if the top half was a bit stronger and more sturdy then it would definitely support a fall but in its current state it would just snap I believe.

From my experience I know that this fan is best suited to smaller rooms as it is quite powerful and compact itself. It soon freshens the room up if it is in a small room but when put in a big room its takes about ten minutes to notice any difference, so I would recommend using on your desk at home or at work if you work in an office.

Around the metal casing of the fans blades is some clips which enable you to be able to take the front off, this then allows you to clean any settled dust off the blades before turning it on and blowing it all around the room.

How does it compare to other Products?
Compared to fans of the type, this is pretty average for a modern fan. It does have some good features such as been so small and money saving on the bills but as I said ti is pretty flimsy and isn't as strong as other fans I've had, I couldn't really see this fan lasting much longer than a few summers.

Does the Product Achieve its Purpose?
It achieves its purpose in providing a light, compact, powerful, cost efficient fan for a nice cheap price.

How to Improve
To improve this fan I would recommend improving the strength of the top half of the fan to make it more sturdy and able to survive a fall.
