Mini Fan Central

When it comes to keeping comfortable, it’s amazing the difference a little mini fan can make. Whether you’re faced with a warm office space or record breaking heat on the train ride home, having a personal mini fan to cool your immediate surroundings can make a huge difference in how comfortable you are. It doesn’t take much, just a simple mini cooling fan. And fortunately, there are lots of mini fans to choose from. You may just be surprised at the variety available.

1. Personal / portable mini fan. This is the tiniest of mini fans. Generally battery-operated and often featuring soft foam blades, the portable mini fan is designed for personal use on the go. It can easily be carried in a purse, bag, or briefcase, and often comes in child-friendly designs and color schemes to reducing whining on a long, hot car ride.
2. Clip-on mini fan. Probably the most popular for home and office use, the clip on mini fan is a miniature version of the round oscillating fan that is so widely used. These feature a strong clamp for easy attachment on a variety of surfaces and edges. They are usually powered through wall electricity, but some are battery operated. Clip on mini fans are especially popular in offices and small work spaces.
3. Desk top fans. These are also popular in offices and workspaces and are more easily moved around than a clip on fan because they do not actually attach. Many desktop mini fans are small with soft foam blades and have a simple stand. Especially good for occasional use as they are easy to store and move around.
4. Mini tower fans are more substantial than personal fans but still smaller than their full-size parent. Tower fans take up a small amount of vertical space and even less horizontal space, and rotate to circulate the air across the room.
5. USB mini fans. The newest and most creative blend of cooling power and computer technology, this is a small desktop fan powered by your computer itself. As portable as your laptop is, the USB mini fan plugs into your USB port, and often features another USB port so that you can still use other appliances through that port.
