A desk is a dangerous place to view the world, and for many who hold eight-hour nine-to-five shifts, a desk becomes a very warm place. Office air conditioners don’t give that much needed breeze of comfort and that breath of fresh air that you need very much. On hectic days, you can’t even spare the time to reach for and fumble with the buttons of the air conditioner. However, rather than remain an office hothead, desk fans offer a portable, affordable, and practical solution for keeping yourself and your office cool.
Desk fans are small and convenient. Many styles are available to match your mood, office furnishings, or personal taste, from plain, ordinary desk fans to more elegant, classy designs. Desk fans come in different speeds, so you don’t have to worry about your important files and memos don’t go flying all over the place when you turn it on.
Most desk fans are oscillating fans, which means the fan’s breeze spreads over a wider area. Desk fans are particularly useful for office workers with large desks, or for those who just like to have a breezy tropical feel to their office. Some desk fans also come with car adapters, and are used on-the-fly inside cars when air conditioning units break down.
Not only do desk fans keep you cool, but some of them also look cool. Many desk fans also serve as decorative items, from cartoon characters to antique-looking fans finished in wood, nickel, bronze, and even silver. Elegant-looking fans make excellent conversation pieces, especially when you do business with your clients or talk with your guests.
Bigger desk fans tend to have a lot more power, and smaller fans tend to make more noise. Choose a fan that’s small enough to fit on your desk with enough room to do your work, but big enough to run quietly so as not to distract you at work. The look of the fan is all up to you. The fan’s exterior design can match your personality or your mood.
Those nine-to-five shifts can get a bit hot, but having a desk fan assures you that getting cool is just an arm’s reach away.
