Desk fans can be found in just about any store you waltz into. However, finding an ideal one isn’t such an easy task. The perfect desk fan will be powerful enough to keep you cool, be compact so it takes up little room, and most importantly, not cost a bundle. While you have probably seen many of the name brand models in the store or online, there are a number of lesser known brands that may pique your interests and offer even more bang for your buck.

I have come across dozens of these fans and have listed what I feel are a few of the best ones you can buy below. These desk fans are powerful, yet they are reasonably priced as well. If you find any you would like to add to this list please drop me an email:

Caframo 797 Compact Desk Fan – this is a battery powered fan that has a lot of kick to it. It really can create a nice breeze on the higher settings, and the batteries seem to really last for a long time. If you wan to preserve the batteries, you can use the adapter plug that is included with the fan.

Atlantic Breeze 44552 Clip On Fan – this is a really handy fan that can clip to just about any piece of furniture, including your desk or even an exercise bike or similar equipment to keep yourself cool. It has a tilt feature and two variable speeds.

Hunt Desktop Personal Fan (HUN025970) – this is absolutely perfect for anyone who has a messy desk or very little room. It is about the size of a pencil sharpener, but it can really blast out some cold air. Best of all it is extremely quiet and rarely if ever makes any vibrating noises that we all hate.
