Review: Cute little fan - I had doubts about this fan, but I got it anyway because I have a very limited space on my desk. So I looked for a compact clip-on fan. I just installed it, and I am very happy with the results - is is small, quiet, stylish, and takes up no room on my desk surface. I had to move the desk a bit away from the wall, to give it space for tilting up/down. The clamp is attached securely to my desk edge, the cord is long enough to be plugged in in the nearest outlet, and the fan even has a small clip to hold the cord down to prevent bunching. I feel sufficient air movement even on lowest setting, even more on medium and high. This will keep me cool and comfortable. I recommend this fan. Review: Excellent Clip-On Fan - This Vornado clip on fan is great and mighty. Who can compete with Vornado really? I have their Vintage metal fans in each room. They last forever. I bought two of these clip on fans. I keep one in the bathroom and one in the bedroom. This one is set up on a bookcase, so it isn’t the greatest setup and does wobble a bit. It has fallen off because it really needs the side to be the same flat side all around. However, my fan seems to bulge inward and isn’t complete flat itself. It isn’t the quietest fan, but I’m a fan of fan noise, so it doesn’t bother me. I do think it could potentially bother someone who is bothered by fan noise because it is pretty loud even on the middle setting. The dial is in the back as all Vornado fans are, which makes it challenging. When it has fallen off, it’s been because I’m reaching behind to adjust the speed. By far, it is the BEST clip on fan I’ve ever had and potentially the best on the market at this time. I tried a Lasko and Holmes before this Vornado and neither worked for me. This Vornado is compact and gives off a much stronger flow of air. It’s the smallest out of all that I’ve tried, looks like the most durable (definitely the thickest plastic and metal rotating pieces), and modern construction, so the look was appealing. It rotates fully around and swivels up and down, so you can really angle it in so many ways, which is appealing. I was going to give it 4 stars and realized after writing this review that it really deserves 5 because it goes above and beyond for a clip on fan. I highly recommend this fan and all Vornado products. They’re stylish and so functional. ## Features - PORTABLE DESIGN — This compact desk fan measures 9 in tall with a 4 in diameter, making it the perfect small fan for travel, office workspace, and personal cooling as a mini portable fan for any space. - VERSATILE CLIP — Multi-surface clip attaches securely to desks, bed frames, shelves, and counters, transforming this portable fan into a convenient clip on desk fan for bed, office, or dorm room fan applications. - QUIET OPERATION — Whisper-quiet performance at just 31 decibels on low speed and 41 decibels on high, making this small desk fan ideal for bedside fan use, office environments, and quiet personal cooling. - ADJUSTABLE AIRFLOW — Features 3 speed settings with 360-degree adjustable axis for customizable cooling comfort, allowing you to direct this personal fan exactly where you need it as a cooling fan for optimal temperature control. - SUPERIOR SUPPORT — Our standards are high, and so are your expectations.

Note, my converter is set into adapter mode and if I turn the converter on the fan runs super slow. **Q: Can this fan be removed from the base? I was interested in attaching the fan to a drum stand.** A: It can definitely be removed from the stand. I've done it. You just need to unscrew the small thumb screw that attaches the swivel mount to the stand. It's on there really tight, so you may need to use pliers. **Q: Which is stronger...this fan or the vornado 133?** A: CFM (cubic feet per minute) - for the 133 is H: 114, L: 85 CFM - for the Pivot - H:44 M:35, L:18 **Q: What is the diamiter of the rod that the the fan is rigged on?** A: The fan itself is heavy...way too heavy for the bar it's attached to to hold it together without it making a rattling noise DON'T BUY!! ## Customer Reviews ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Cute little fan *by R***T on August 24, 2026* I had doubts about this fan, but I got it anyway because I have a very limited space on my desk.

(I just got them today so tbd if it lasts.) The perks: (1) It's powerful!! Especially on high it really throws some air at you. It's strong enough that if you're hot and turn the fan on high it'll quickly cool you down. (2) It's pretty, I like the way it looks. It's worth noting there's a white power cord sticking out of the back of the fan that doesn't show in the advertising picture. It's still less cheap-looking than standard all-plastic fans though. (3) I like the three speeds. (4) The cord is a good/long length. (5) The clip grip works well, it's like rubber. (6) And of course, it's inexpensive. The drawbacks: (1) It's noisy!! It's really noisy, especially on high. It provides a white noise background sound so *I would not take a Zoom call with this fan blowing anywhere near the screen!* It also would be annoying in an office space, your cubicle neighbor could probably hear it (on low might be manageable but on high it would sound like you have a very strong huge fan). (2) I wouldn't rely solely on this fan to cool down a whole room, it's mostly effective sitting in front of it. But it's helpful to get air moving when it's put on high? Overall I definitely like it. I bought two fans (the other being the Opolar metal 9" USB-powered desk fan, $22) and the Opolar is way less strong (Opolar's high is like this Vornado's low/medium) but it's nearly silent. I'm happy to have both, one (Opolar) less powerful silent one for Zoom calls, and then (Vornado) a really effective one for the rest of my day. Only this Vornado (on high) has the power to quickly cool me down so I wouldn't want to rely only on the Opolar. ## Frequently Bought Together - Vornado Pivot Clip Personal Air Circulator Fan with Multi-Surface Clip, Quiet Portable Fan for Office or Bedroom, 3 Speeds, Black - Vornado Pivot3 Clip Personal Air Circulator Fan with Multi-Surface Clip, Quiet Portable Fan for Office or Bedroom, 3 Speeds, Black --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/183924015-pivot-clip-personal-air-circulator-3-speed-portable-desk-fan](https://www.desertcart.co.za/products/183924015-pivot-clip-personal-air-circulator-3-speed-portable-desk-fan) --- *Product available on Desertcart South Africa* *Store origin: ZA* *Last updated: 2026-09-12*
