Customer Reviews
(4.5 stars) Compact, quiet - worth considering as a table, desk or bedside fan
THE QUICK TAKE: The Soleus Air Soft-Blade Table Fan is a compact, quiet personal fan with an interesting design. If small size and low noise are important considerations for your use of a fan - such as for a table, desktop, bedside or countertop - consider this fan.
There are three major reasons why you might want to consider this fan:
First, it's compact - about 10" high, and 9-1/2" wide, and about 5.5" deep. (The four feet could stand on something 5-1/4" wide x 4" deep.) Since it's designed not to need an enclosure to keep things away from the blade, it can be smaller.
Second, while it's not silent, it's fairly quiet, and the noise is soothing rather than irritating. You could easily have a phone conversation without needing to turn the fan off, as long as the fan was a few feet away. Some may even like the way it masks other noises, in an office or as a bedside fan. Certainly no one (such as a co-worker) more than 5 feet away should be bothered by the noise.
Third, this Soft Blade fan has a fun and interesting design. The blades are softish, and the motor is designed to slow or stop if something comes in contact with the blades. Though it is unpleasant to touch - the blades spin fairly fast! - and children or animals might be a little distressed by it.
One bonus, this fan is of course a lot easier to clean than a regular fan with an enclosure - and as you know fans get dirty!
It's fairly stable, the layout of the four feet helps on that account. Mine has a slight wobble when it runs, due to something being slightly imbalanced in the fan. If it's more than slight you might want to exchange it.
This moves a reasonable amount of air, a light breeze perhaps. You do have to be realistic about what an 8" fan can do, in terms of moving air. If you need more air, get something bigger and noisier.
The negatives are minor:
- The color scheme takes away from the design, with a light gray frame and a darker gray fan blade. I'd have preferred all one color.
- You have to reach around the back to turn it on or off, which is only slightly awkward and probably the only place to put the switch other than on the cord.
- There's just one fan speed. It would be nice to have a quieter, slower option. (There are two On positions, but both do the same thing - there's just one fan speed.)
According to the label it uses 25 watts of power, which is a relatively small amount.
I would agree with the other reviewers comments.
Only 4 stars since I had to glue one of the rubber feet back on.
Also, It would be nice if there were two speeds.
I would love if there was a larger wall mounted version.
