I am looking for a metal desktop fan for work; don't want one of those with plastic housing. Is this a metal desktop fan?

Yes this is a all metal fan single speed I consider this a quiet fan versus a plastic fan witch I consider to be junk. I hope this helps you I do like this fan it does move a lot of air for its size.

Its a metal housing. After a few months mine did start making more noise, which was too much for an office setting.

My fan is in the back of my computer tower too - so I am unfamiliar with a vent or fan that may on the bottom.Sorry, I could not be more helpful.

I have not had the fan professionally installed yet but it was very disappointing. I thought it was a metal of somekindbut TV the blades LOOK plastic to me.

yes, it is metal and plastic structure, however the end result is very good, my goal was to get fuel economy on the highway consumption decreased by 50%. Now if you want a significant increase in power I would not recommend.

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.

No it is not. I love mine, bought it about 8 months ago. It is very powerful at low speed. I did not enjoy putting it together but I'm a woman. LOVE LOVE LOVE my fan.

Yes. It is an oscillating fan. Mine is very quiet and puts out nice amount of air in my large l shaped cube. It does put off a plastic smell when turned on. I really like it.

It was all metal housing. I returned it cause it didn't get hot enough. I wouldn't recommend this one ;(

Yes, it has a fan. It is about equivilent to a fan in a computer desktop case.

The frame is metal; the blades and the blade housing are plastic. This fan is extremely loud, unless it is on low. Also, the piece that held the fan blades in place broke (also plastic), so I replaced it with one from an old fan that I had around that didn't work. That fixed the problem.

It's a white plastic, not metal as might be implied from the pictures. I'm assuming, like other white plastics, will fade to a slight yellow over time. Ours have been in for a year and still look the same, but I'm expecting them to turn yellowish in a few years.It's a quiet and powerful fan. The humidity sensor feature is nice but could use some improvements. I think I'd still buy this fan again (I have 2 of them).My fans are mounted on the wall and share a common pipe going to the outside. The flappers on each unit block the flow, so it has been very convenient in this regard. It's a white plastic, not metal as might be implied from the pictures.

The noise from this fan is simply the sound of the air being blown, and it is louder than a cheaper/plastic fan because it is more powerful. This fan is not noisy in any other, annoying way - no rattling or clicking or other annoying noises I have experienced in the past with cheaper/plastic fans. This is just pure wind sound. Do be aware though, this is an industrial-strength fan so it is significantly more powerful -- and therefore the wind sound is louder -- than typical home fans. So it would not be ideal for a small space -- it is too powerful, will blow papers around, would be too loud if you're too close and trying to listen to something else. It's better suited for a larger space -- I needed it for a large space that is hard to cool in the summer, and it really makes a world of difference. It is exactly what I needed. So just keep in mind that this is a more powerful, industrial-strength fan and consider the space where you want to use it and whether you think it could help you or if you think it might be too much power for your needs. It is an excellent fan, and I am extremely pleased with it -- no complaints; it has rubber feet which helps keep it from moving around and which also helps protect your floor (if you have nice hardwood floors). I definitely recommend it if you are going to use it in a decent-size space.

Plastic but there is a metal mulching blade at the center of the fan. You just have to hope all material of heavy consistency hits this first, not going to happen.

The fan has a notable and steady sound as you would expect from a high velocity metal fan. It is a white noise however and can easily be ignored. It is not as quiet as a slow speed plastic fan, but is not so loud as to drown out normal conversation in a living-room.

No. Not really. If you look at the picture you can see the fan. That whole unit is hard plastic.
