BLACK+DECKER 16" Wall Mount Fan With Remote Control, Oscillating With 3 Speed Settings and Shut Off Timer, Adjustable Tilt Angle, White

This is a desk fan, NOT a mini air conditioner. That said, it blows somewhat cooler air than a simple fan, which is fantastic at this price point. Its reasonably quiet at low speed, though fairly loud at high speed. As you would expect. There was no assembly, and setup was very easy. I seriously considered rating it only 4 stars, as it requires a lot of water while operating. It runs out of water in around 4 hours of continual use at the lowest level. This is a drawback. Another drawback is that it is very hard to see how much water remains, due to an odd design flaw. Despite these drawbacks it merits 5 stars because as a desk fan at this price point it is remarkably good.

Ive seen these around for a few years. They keep getting smaller. This item is great. Hard to believe the cold air coming out of a little box plugged into a USB port. Its quiet.

I am a true mid westerner. I sleep with a fan, and prefer something that drowns out the silence and crickets and coyotes! This fan is perfect, has an incredible hum, and blows like a true Michigan wind! Which is like, 35mph on a good day. I highly recommend this fan! It's small, smaller than my usual go to box fan, but this one can fit anywhere and doesn't overwhelm small spaces! It also tilts, so on a warm night it can aim exactly where you want it. I was unsure if I would like it, but it's turned out to be the best purchase. Also, very easy to clean!

Works well for its price, however has a few issues. Most notably, the USB-C port is located directly underneath the port to fill the water tank, meaning if you happen to spill any water, it's likely to drip directly into the port. Also, the removable cooling pad is difficult to remove; it felt like the housing for it was about to snap. The cooling pad stays moist for a while, and the fan is decently quiet if not at max speed. It does work well in a warm, dry room. Just recommend you have a small funnel to refill the tank.

I originally bought this fan July 2023 and it worked great! Fit just fine in my bathroom window and ran quietly. Unfortunately now, about 2 and a half years later it's making loud grinding sounds when starting, a lot slower to start and sometimes I really need to hit it for it to start at all. I wouldn't be surprised if it dies completely soon.

Why did you pick this product vs others?: The BLACK+DECKER Desktop Air Cooler (BDMC10) is a compact powerhouse that brings a pleasant, misty chill to personal workspaces. Its 0.5 L water tank cools quickly, and with three fan speeds, it’s easy to dial in comfort for your desk, bedside, or home office. The cooling effect is noticeably better than a standard fan, perfect for dry or stuffy rooms. I appreciate how lightweight and portable it is, it’s easy to move around, and the simple controls are intuitive. The unit also includes a basic filter to trap dust, which is a nice extra for allergen-conscious users. On the downside, the water tank needs frequent refilling—roughly every 4–5 hours on high speed and the mist can sometimes leave a slight damp spot nearby, so I keep a coaster or cloth under it. Also, it’s best used in well-ventilated spaces, as the evaporative cooling is less effective in high humidity. Overall, this cooler is a solid pick if you’re after affordable, breezy comfort in smaller spaces. It’s not a full-room air conditioner, but it shines at providing personal cooling when you need it most.

This BLACK+DECKER desktop air cooler has been a great addition to my workspace. It’s compact and lightweight, making it easy to move between my desk, bedroom, or anywhere I need a little extra cooling. The 3 fan speeds give good flexibility, and when the 0.5L water tank is filled, the evaporative cooling makes a noticeable difference on hot days. I like that it’s quiet enough for work or sleep, and the controls are simple to use. It doesn’t replace an AC unit, but for personal use in small spaces, it’s very effective. The design is sleek in white and gray, and it fits nicely without taking up much room. Overall, this is a practical, easy-to-use air cooler that delivers refreshing comfort where you need it. Highly recommend for a desk, bedside table, or small office space.

I bought this fan primarily to aid in drying the carpet after shampooing. It gives great air volume, yes the highest level is loud, but that was ok as it’s purpose was to dry the carpet faster. It worked very well in this capacity and I’m glad I bought it.

Don’t judge my setup lol I had to change the air in the room through the window because creating a natural airflow was impossible. I tried a fan three times bigger, but all it did was move the air around inside the room. So I used this tiny fan with a setup that blocks air from coming in or out, honestly thinking that because of its small size, it wouldn’t do much. To my surprise, it works really well. It’s much more powerful than I expected and on top of that, it’s very quiet.

Estaba buscando un ventilador pequeño para mi habitación, ya que el que tenía realmente ocupaba mucho espacio, tenía algunas dudas respecto a él, pero en cuánto lo recibí me encantó, es pequeño, compacto y realmente me gusta su diseño simple, elegante y limpio, no es muy pesado pero es muy estable, al funcionar, no se agita en lo absoluto y tampoco hace mucho ruido, para el tamaño, tiene un excelente flujo de aire en sus 3 velocidades, refresca bien una habitación no muy grande, creo que es perfecto para una recámara o una oficina y luce muy bien en cualquier espacio.

Prático potente e silencioso

This is what I've been looking for. I need a fan to sleep. I have bought all the big names with their "turbo blaster" or whatever where allegedly you can feel it 40 feet away. They were all crap. I have like 6 fans i have bought over the course of a few months. I finally took the plunge for this one. I was worried about size as it's considered a floor fan, but I really needed a strong fan to blow on my face at night. Fan sits about 10 feet away from me at the foot of my bed. She is strong. And gives me that white noise I've been looking for. I don't even use the highest setting
