Will this fan make a good desk top fan in a cubicle? Not too much force?

This fan is quiet, however this is a circulation fan it has more power than normal fans. I have it on low on my night stand while sleeping

if i were you this would be too small for your cubicle i would get the smaller one as i use it in my room during the day whick to me would be great for a cubicle has setting for hi med and off!!

Yes, I think it would be good for that. It might be a little big but it's not strong enough for a big room. I bought it to go in front of my exercise equipment and have to put it on a chair to reach my face and upper body.

Yes. It's very quiet & even on higher speed, not that strong. It's more for moving air than direct fanning. I use it on my vanity.

At the low setting it probably would be okay, depending on size of your cubicle. The fan has a small footprint. It doesn't oscillate but adjusts vertically 90 degrees.

To be honest, you should put it on the floor, and aim it upward. For a desktop, you could get a smaller one. This is very quiet, and if you get hot easily, this will definitely, on low, keep you in a slight breeze. The idea of this fan is to circulate all your air, not just blow on you. On the floor would probably be sufficient, even on low. If you want something for your desktop, you might be able to use the smaller, personal one here: Vornado Flippi V6 Personal Air Circulator, Passion Either way, you will move the air, and I was surprised by how quiet it is.

The unit is lightweight and may show some vibration. Using a paperweight as an 'anchor' this unit should be fine. I do not notice substantial fan movement on my desk and do not currently use anything to weigh down the unit. I am keeping mine because it is quiet and works well; is the vibration the only issue you are experiencing with this fan?

Hi Joe,I purchased this fan about a year ago to cool my iMac desktop and I'm still using it to this day. It seems to help quite a bit if you tape it about 4 inches in from the right (halfway covering the ventilation slot at the top) if you're looking at the back side of the screen. One thing you'll need is a usb extension because the cord won't reach your usb ports. These run cheap on amazon.

It's a heavy-duty fan (bulkier than I thought) and blows a lot of air. If you're OK with that, it should be fine.

The fan is very quiet. I haven't tried sitting it on a desk yet. The airspeed is NOT adjustable and the area that disperses the air is very, very small. I like it's small size but it doesn't deliver enough air for me.

Probably too noisy for routine use that close to conversation, TV, etc. Ours is about 20 ft down a hall and that's OK. Hard to make a fan that is quiet and still puts out the volume that this one does -- you can feel the breeze from it 30+ ft away!

Not really very noisy. If it's a cubicle they could probably hear, but if in an office with the full wall I doubt it.

Volume for this particular model is high, something like 120 cubic feet a minute. So, unless your design calls for that high a volume I'd keep on looking. Amazon had numerous capacity fans in their listings.

It's pretty quiet. The most likely problems you would have in a cubicle would be the length of your legs plus the height of the desk. I can't use mine under my desk because my knees hit the desk - ow. So I have to put it against the wall opposite the desk. The other issue is that if you have a desk chair on casters, you will have to swap it out for on that doesn't move. I easily do both of these accommodations in order to be able to bike at work!

This fan is designed to move a lot of air into an entire room. It's about 100 times more than you need. Use PC fans instead. They're designed to ventilate desk-top computer cabinets. Two or three will do the trick, use less electricity, and make less noise. Just type "pc fan" in the Amazon search bar.

It is powerful so it may work as a floor fan. I have it on top of chest of drawers and it is probably to big for that but I make it work.

As best as I can say on a scale from 1-10, I give the noise factor a 2 1/2 to 3. The noise factor is somewhat minimal. I really don't think you will have an office problem, but I do know you will love this heater. It also doubles as a regular fan, which is so cool! I ran it all night for all of last winter and it did not hinder my sleeping at all!! I love this product!! I recommend you get it, I hope this helps.

Unfortunately I returned this item so I can't exactly answer. It might suffice, but I think only at a higher setting. The room I was going to use the fan in was about the same size, and I found that to feel the fan I had to be quite close and have it turned up high. Therein lies the problem. This fan is very loud at high settings. I tried a different brand of bladeless fans and found the same to be true. They are loud. I decides to stick with a tower fan. I know this answer is not exactly what you were looking for, but after being aggravated by loudness I figured I might as well share my findings.

I just got this item and it doesn't produce a lot of heat. I have it in a desk and the fans in it work brilliantly so it keeps it cool.

I didn't buy this fan. I bought Pixnor 6-inch 360-degree Rotating USB Powered Mini Metal Electric Fan Desk Cooling Fan for PC / Laptop / Notebook (Black) and I love it.

Absolutely. This is 1 great little fan. Quiet and powerful. You may have to set it on low or med depending on how far from bed because it really blows. You will love it.

The fan is not quiet, but would pull some cool air from room to room. But cool air will seek a lower section of a room, so fan should be placed low to pull cool air.
