Review on πŸŒ€ ARCTIC Breeze Mobile - Mini USB Desktop Fan with Flexible Neck, Portable Desk Fan for Home & Office, Silent USB Fan, Fan Speed: 1700 RPM - White by Pop Henneghan

Revainrating 1 out of 5

Fine. Edit: No longer works

The speed control potentiometer is very weak and loose. Better to have 1-2 speeds. The fan will stall if you don't plug it in at full speed. The range is terrible and only good for direct cooling. After 6 inches the air goes nowhere, no directed airflow. This is a common trait of computer geeks, not typical household geeks. Of course, Arctic can make computer fans, but not desktop or general-purpose fans. but the unnamed $4 USB fan is 10x better. More airflow and more noise = better. POT and useless flex cable increase costs and reduce usability. At least the cable is too short. I love Arctic for their computer hardware. They have to stick to that. Even after a month: minimal flexing of the cable and treating it like a child and the device will short out due to the stupid cable/flex neck design. He's not even hard anymore. Useless. Avoid and buy something with a real cable instead. The previous design is even better for that. This is not ARCTIC quality and I suspect it is a white label item.

Pros
  • Computers and accessories
Cons
  • No power
