Tools and Hardware Reviews of Holmes HACP9B-U Oscillating 2-Speed Clip-On Fan
Customer Review: Fan get the job done
Summary: 4 Stars
The fan is small, yet not very compact. It doesn't move a whole lot of air, but keeps me comfortable enough as a desk fan. Originally I wanted to use it in a laundry room that gets hotter than the rest of the house, but it just didn't move enough air. Overall the fan is pretty good. I did have some trouble with the arms not supporting the weight of the fan head at certain angles, but I wasn't picky about the fan positioning, so not a big deal. The power cord is the phone-type that's curled up like a spring, but fully extended it is a bit short, on the other hand it does stay out of the way, so that point has both possitives and negatives. The clip is big, strong, and rubber padded; probably the fan's best quality.
Overall, a decent quality fan that does what its supposed to, but don't expect it to move air in even a small room. It needs to be fairly close to you if you want to feel it pulling any heat off you, which is the whole point of a fan.
Customer Review: Works fine, not too noisy
Summary: 4 Stars
I bought this fan mostly to cool the bedroom at night during our occasional spells of hot weather here in the Pacific Northwest. It works fine to that end. The volume of air moved is adequate, though significantly less than the fan I used previously. However, in its favor, the oscillation of this fan spreads the air around better and it is much quieter, though by no means silent. The difference between the speeds is marginal so I just use it on high. The clamp works well, allowing me to securely attach the fan to the frame of the sliding window, a much better option than the previous fan which balanced uneasily on the sill. I would buy this product again and would recommend it for those who have moderate cooling needs.Customer Review: Shocked at how quiet it is!
Summary: 4 Stars
The only reason I did not give this item 5 stars is the cord is a bit too short for my desk arrangement and I didn't like the clip style although it works fine and appears quite sturdy. The real surprise was how wonderfully quiet it is even at high speed. It supplies just the right amount of airflow to combat stuffiness and not disrupt loose papers on your desk. In hindsight I wish I'd bought one of these when I started getting hot flashes. Please note you can turn off the oscillating feature by pulling up the top button. At this price point for this quality, I'm very pleased.Customer Review: Great Product for Small Spaces
Summary: 4 Stars
I use this fan above my computer where I work.
Working in an office everyone wants the temp at a different level.
When I get to stuffy, this fan is perfect.
The only reason that I am not giving five stars is due to the bulkiness and stiffness of the clip when trying to install the fan.
Customer Review: Works well quiet, but doesn't move much air
Summary: 4 Stars
Extraordinarily quiet, but it doesn't move much air. Two speeds, but they don't make much difference in the sound or volume of air moved. Good in an office environment. Well made product.
