When summer comes, in many regions of the country really hot days come, when it's impossible to work and even just watch TV because of the unbearable heat. Of course, buying and installing an air conditioner is an excellent way out of the situation, which will save you from high temperatures from year to year. But if the financial situation does not allow such "luxury", a little help with the summer heat will be provided by the fan. Now in the floor floor models that do not differ in small dimensions. However, in some cases it is much more convenient to use a small desktop fan.
Advantages and disadvantages of a desktop fan
The table fan, as well as its "older brother" - floor, is an electric motor and an axis on which the blades rotate, which causes the air to mix and thereby create the desired draft in the room in a certain direction.
Of course, the main "plus" of this device is its cheapness compared not only with air conditioning, but also an outdoor fan. In addition, such a device because of small dimensions can be carried and operated in any room, even in the closet. From here follows one more advantage of the desktop fan - ease of transportation and storage.
And, it is clear that you can not do without minuses. The main drawback is a small power. Hence follows the second "minus" - the limitation in blowing. The radius of the floor fan is extremely small - not the whole room, but only its angle, for example, a desk, a sofa, a work space in the kitchen.
How to choose the best desktop fan?
If you decide to purchase such a necessary summer "accessory", like a desktop fan, we recommend paying attention to a few nuances. First, it is, of course, power, that is, the performance of the device. For this type of fan, an optimum power of 30-40 watts can be considered.
Before buying, be sure to inquire about the noise level of the device. The matter is that because of the limited radius of a blowing out the device for certain will be established nearby from you. Due to the work of the motor and blades, a hum is reproduced, which can irritate, interfere with work or sleep. Therefore, very popular is the almost noiseless desktop fan, whose noise level does not exceed 30 dB.
Do not forget your safety. It is important that the fan blades are covered with a protective grille. True, the little fingers of little she will not save. By the way, if we talk about blades, pay attention to their diameter - the bigger it is, the more intense the blowing is. For safety, the stability of the fan base is also important.
If you want your desktop fan to blow out as much territory as possible, choose the model with the largest angle of rotation - 85-100⁰.
In addition, during operation, additional parameters may be important,
The leaders in the sales of desktop fans are the brands Vitek, Supra, Bimatek, Daewoo, Delta, Timberk.
By the way, recently was created a bezlopastnoy desktop fan, whose work is based on the intake of air by the engine through small holes in the ring of the aerodynamic shape. Thanks to her, the air flow returns back in a strengthened form and cooler. It is believed that such models are almost noiseless and consume less electricity. But they are quite expensive.
