When we are working in summer, either in an office or at home in front of the computer, the temperature may be high or not cool enough for us. To get more comfortable and avoid sweating, we can resort to a small USB fan.
USB fans are compact, portable devices designed to provide a cooling stream of air in close quarters. They easily plug into the USB ports of your desktop or laptop computer, making them convenient to use anywhere with an available USB power source. These fans generally have smooth, safe blades, ideal for work environments.
At El Comprador de La Vanguardia we wanted to know how these fans work and, therefore, we have chosen the best-selling model on Amazon: the TedGem.
If you are thinking of buying a USB fan, we recommend that you read this article. We have tested it for more than a month in an office to see its quality up close and we will tell you about it so that you can know if this is the model you need.
We ordered the product, it arrived within 24 hours well packaged. We have put it to the test for a month in an office where we work all day in front of the computer.
When the fan arrived at the El Comprador newsroom, we doubted whether such a small fan could be capable of creating adequate airflow. However, although its measurements are small, the power (or airflow) is enough a good alternative to air conditioning if you do not have to move from the place, either sitting on the sofa or working in front of the computer.
It is a very practical and easy to use fan. We have tested it on a couple of sites to verify its effectiveness. One of our team has used it in the office connected to his desktop computer. On the other hand, we put it to the test in a kitchen to see if it was able to cool us down while we were cooking. We must say that we found it effective in both places and with the advantage that it takes up very little space.
We recommend it, especially, for when you use the computer, because the summer heat does not help concentration much. Although, we must warn that the air it emits refreshes the nearby space, it is not a model for a medium/large room.
A particularly advantageous fan to avoid disputes about what temperature the air conditioning should be set to in the office, since you can cool your workspace without depending on the thermal sensation of colleagues, or fiddling with the office remote. It is also important to note that it is very quiet and does not bother you at all.
In addition, it consumes very little and allows you to cool off without feeling the pressure on energy expenditure and environmental responsibility that other alternatives entail.
