Product Description

At gadgetshop HQ, we don't bother much for fans, given that our lab is so well chilled by cryonic thermocoolers than even in August it's positively Baltic. But you may not be so lucky, and, like myriad British workers, rely on a humble deskfan for refreshment as you slave over that hot keyboard of yours. Having seen a tribe of USB-compatible mug warmers, slippers and all manner of heat-inducing devices, now it's the turn of a new generation of cooling gadgets to help one chill out at one's desk. So now's the time to cool it and take a chill pill (in a strictly metaphorical sense, you understand). Looking for all the world like a standard desk fan, this version provides a chill blast of Arctic air into one's visage, de-stressing and de-misting on even the most humid of deskbound August days. And the joy doesn't end there. This somewhat sleek looking fan doubles up as a 4 port USB hub. A USB for your USBs, if you catch our somewhat cool and refreshing drift. Despite its digital pedigree, it has old-style analogue controls at heart. For swift and efficacious operation, simply plug into the handy little USB port on one's computer and deftly flick the switch on the front. And there. Instant relief from global warming. For about 20 years.

Great Fan For The Money
I bought this fan for my (very hot) open plan office where I hot desk. Therefore I needed something that was small enough to fit in my locker and easy enough to get out every day. I also needed something that wouldn't disturb anyone else. For this the fan is perfect. It doesn't make any noise and is just enough puff for one. It also looks pretty cool and there have been plenty of envious glances across the desks!

I haven't used it as a USB hub so I can't comment on that part of its function.

Does exactly what it says on the tin
Nice little fan here.Blows enough air for me in the Office and takes my USB Pen.

To the person who says his broke after a month...why not use the 1 Year Warranty and get it sorted.

great value for money
Have had this little fan for a couple of weeks now and it's great. Not exactly going to blow me off my chair but gives a nice little breeze and although it has a slight buzz to it, is certainly not the noisiest desk fan I've ever had. Have just tried the usb port for the first time and it overrides the fan when you plug something else in, meaning you have to turn the fan back on again but other than that is working well so far, opened my flash drive with no problems. All in all a good little device for the price.
