Review on Wathai 120mm x 25mm AC Powered Fan with Speed Controller 3V-12V - Ideal for Cooling Xbox, DVR, Playstation, and Other Components by Walter Day

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Quiet fan, but adjusting the speed may take some work!

I bought this fan for the WhisperRoom (music booth) that I use for recording. I need a fan that circulates air so it doesn't get too hot inside and is quiet enough not to disturb the recording. This is a very quiet fan at low speed, and the faster it runs, the louder it runs. to be expected. Speed control could be better. When I initially set the fan to its lowest setting and turn the knob to run faster, the fan hits max speed halfway through, so there's not really a speed throttling from full use of the controls. If there is a way to fine tune the knob I would really like to know. Otherwise it serves its purpose.

Pros
  • The power supply increases the maximum fan speed and allows you to power the fan from an outlet.
Cons
  • boring packaging
