Light: at 180 g easy to transport for the office, camping or travel
USB-flexible: runs on any 5 V USB source such as PC, laptop or power bank

Points of criticism

Little manufacturer data: Simpeak gives no documented measurements for volume and output

Build quality & everyday use

What carries the Simpeak USB Mini Desk Fan in everyday use: 3 speeds (selectable from quiet for sleeping through natural for working to strong for outdoors) and 360° swivel (the head can be freely set to the desired angle). The weaknesses have to be stated honestly: short range only. As a mini fan it cools the spot in front of it, not a whole room.

If you set the device up to save space, make sure it stands on a stable, level surface with some air around it. This protects the mechanics and electronics in continuous use.

“Simpeak USB Mini Desk Fan: 3 speeds and 360° swivel, in exchange for short range only. At 7.5/10 a fair deal from €15.99.”

How is the Simpeak fan powered?

Is the fan quiet enough for sleeping?

Can the air direction be adjusted?
