Tools and Hardware Reviews of Air King 9145 6-Inch 2-Speed Clip-On Fan
Customer Review: Air King 9145 fan is the "king" of all personal fans!
Summary: 5 Stars
In my search for a fan for my tiny room, I had specific criteria:
1) Relatively inexpensive
2) Quality parts
3) Quiet/silent (most important)
4) Low wattage
Misc criteria:
*)Free shipping
*)Service, 30-day $ back guarantee if I'm not satisfied
The Air King 9145 on Amazon matched my criteria precisely. I got it for $25, shipped & no tax. I received it fairly promptly (could care less; shipping was free).
Anyways, the box is pretty no-thrills and that's the way it should be. It comes with:
1) Box
2) Paper manual (note: you can download the manual online by searching "air king 9145 user manual" and go paperless :)
3) Fan main assembly
4) Clip.
The fan can be mounted by using either the clip seen in the picture, or using a screw. The screw-mount is on the back of the fan clip. I personally mounted it using the clip. I found that hanging the fan upside down on a thin piece of wood doesn't really work well. You need a "chunky" place for the clip to get a good grip and hold it. I found best of both worlds with the top of my desk. A pole could work also.
The fan has 0-1-2 settings. The manual advertises the fan uses 9 watts on setting "1" and 13 watts on setting "2". I can confirm this is 100% correct using my killawatt(TM) device.
-Noise-
I personally don't like a lot of air blowing on my face, so I used setting "1" and I like it. It blows enough air to keep me/my laptop cool without drying my eyes. On setting 1, the fan is pretty quiet, even for very-very-noise sensitive people like. It is not "dead silent", but "quiet". Setting 2 is a bit louder and I don't like putting it on setting 2 for that reason.
The fan setting is adjusted on the back of the fan head. I find myself baffled as to why the company decided to do a "0-2-1" setting instead of "0-1-2" which is more logical. Now it takes me twice as many "clicks" to get to my setting. Not a big deal (for me especially, since I use a remote control to turn that outlet on).
The wiring feels nice and thick and the build quality feels solid. I wish the plug didn't use a "three prong", since I have to get a special extension cord for it. :-(
Other than that, what can I say? It performs very well. I am very pleased with this purchase and would do it again!
Pros:
1) Reasonably priced
2) Free shipping, no tax if fulfilled from Amazon
3) Fan is quiet on setting 1
4) Fan wiring is thick and solid! Fan feels high quality
Negatives:
1) Could be cheaper? ($25 shipped, no tax is reasonable IMO, but for a 6" fan still pricey for some)
2) Only comes in white. This is my biggest complaint. I guess I could use a primer/black spray paint, but it would be great if it came in black :)
3) Clip spring could be a bit stronger.
4) Plug is three pronged (sucks for getting an extension cord)
